tie score or to on the Claremont

to be heard from before the season

! The contest was one Of the seasons
prettiest, and both teams were near
enough to the opposing goal for a try
at place kick, neither of which conferred
the posts.
The teams were In the best of form
| from the fast manner in which thew
played. and but little time was taken
out for injuries or wind. During the
last half the continual hammering
began to tell and toward the latter
part Of the game players were down
after every two or three plays. One
man was substituted on each side dur

Pomona Confident
NJ,
confident of winning and appeared to
lose ginger when the plays were broken
up. Acker. Andreas and Cunningham,
assisted occasionally by Wolhoit, gained
almost at will through the Pomona line
and over her tackles. Acker played in
his old time form and time and again
carried half the Pomona team on his
back for substantial gains
Pomona showed strong in the back

effective, often hurdling center and
tackle for gains of from two to four
yards.
In cross-bucking st. Vincents was
strongest, while Pomona made most of
her gains around the end. Remark
ably free from rough playing for such
hard fought contest, penalties came
thick and fast, both sides being over
anxious to get into the game
The work of the two lines was some
what ragged, at times the men playing
too high and not charging quickly
enough.
ST. Vincent's outplayed Pomona and
deserved one touchdown, then by con-
sistent line bucking they carried the
ball to the twenty-yard line.
