and between the scattered field that
reached and dived for him. Hempel
had a formation that threw the man
with the ball at times clear of the
scrimmage pile and in the majority
of instances the slippery quarter was
through ahead of the oval and drag
ging the ground gamer for yards as he
staggered and wavered from the half
effective tackles of the Claremont
team.
Scholder and Lubo were in pile-drver
form, and the strong-framed tackles
swept into the opposing forwards for
the telling gains that eventually
brought the ball to the goal line. From
tackle to tackle the Pomona line he'd
well and the long gains of the Reds
ran over between tackle and end.
Ends Strong
The ends of both elevens We're strong.
and the gains around the outrggers
were slight and far between. Smith,
left end of the Pomona men, solved
the running interference of the In.
d1ans from the first and Hempels men
We're forced back on the outside play.
More punting entered into yester-
days contest than in any game thus
far during the season, not excepting
the Belmont-High School struggle, and
the first part of the last half was a
pretty spectacle with the players run
ming up and down the field beneath the
whirlers of Neafus and Wharton.
Wharton did better footwork in the
last half, but the kicking duel ran in
favor of the Indian and the ball was
never dangerously close to the River
side line. Moorman and Chisholm were
the ground gamers for the Pomonans
and the interference of the latter stood
out as one of the bright features of
the game
The Claremont team tried the hurd-
ling game and although Baird, Spur
geon and Chisholm toppled over the
purple forwards for sensational gains
the Indian backfield had profited by
former tactics of the same nature ana
met the attempts with sufficient craft
to destroy the effectiveness noticeable
in the Occidental game.
The game had run to the second half
pefore the crowd was on it's feet as
result of an unexpected dash that
brought the ball to the Indian line.
Pomona had lost the ball on the
twenty-five yard line and Neafus sent
the oval forty-f1ve yards to where
wharton and Baird We're PLAYING
back. Wharton attempted to receive
and collided with Baird, fumblng the
leather Kennedy was down the field
under the kick, and as the Claremont
men made mess of things, grabbed
the ball and sped for the goal. Baird
followed and when the Indian had
covered thirty-hve yards into Clare
mont territory he went spinning to the
chalk lines with Baird clinging to his
noleSkinS.
Pomona punted out, but the effort
was weak and the red men soon had
the ball back at the goal and Scho-
der went over for the second touch
down.
Pomona's best stand came at the
beginning of the first half when on
the two yard line the Indians were
unable to make their distance and
Wharton punted out of danger.
MetcaIf Tower of Strength
Metcalf, at center, was world of
strength to the Claremont aggrega-
tion, and with Kepner and Sourwine
at either side, was equal to the Indian
attack on the middle. Hempels men
tried the hurdling game successfully
in several instances, but for the most
part contented themselves with ripping
outside of tackles. The Riverside for
wards charged ahead of the Clare
monters and although held for downs
many times during the game, secured
the jump on the college men.
Whether the Indians were eXerting
themselves to the utmost was a ques-
tion that bothered not a few in the
stands. and careless play on the red
skins part made the game somewhat
of drawn-out affair.
Fumbling marred the chance of fur
ther scoring on the part of the Indians
and many Of the mistakes appeared
ineXcusable. For clean play the game
was an ideal exhibition and the Off
cials We're not called upon to give the
slightest warning as regarded un-
seemly action. Two penalties that
gave the ball to the Pomona men
came as a result of quarter back
kicks glancing off an Indian players
body.
Pomona won the toss and elected to
defend the south goal. Neafus' kick
off went over the line and Chisholn's
punt from the twenty-five yard line
was fumbled. giving the Claremonters
the ball. The Pomona mans attack
failed, and the ball went over. An
exchange of punts favored Neafus,
and from the vicinity of the Pomona
thlrty-nve yard line the Indians began
an onward march that brought the
ball to the three yard line
After Pomona had made stone wall
stand the Indians again attacked the
ends of the line. and finally Scholder
ploughed through for the first touch
down. Neafus missed an easy goal.
The Pomona bleachers drew a short
breath before the half was over as
Metcalf from the thirty-eight yard line
attempted a field goal. Memory of
the victory resultant of the place kick
against Occidental was fresh in Clare
mont minds and hope rose high as the
chunky center fell back for the try.
