Metcalf's Place Kick in the Last Half
Nets Pomona Four Points
In a Hard-Foueht
Struggle
BY Edward L. Moriarty

A clever place kick by Metcalf from
the 3o-yard line as darkness gathered
over the field near the close of the last
half was the best that Pomona could
accomplish against the university CO.
horts at Fiesta park yesterday after
noon, and when the wave of excite
ment which had kept the oleachers in
a turmoil throughout the game had
finally died away university colors
were floating triumphant above the
blue and white of Claremont, a score
of 6 to gladdening adherents Of the
gold and red.
Rife with unlimited enthusiasm, the
contest was typical of college meet
and probably nine out of every ten
students enrolled at either institution
was present, banked in one or the other
sections of life and color that ran riot
from the time position was taken in
the stands.
With numberless pennants that flut-
tered over the din and noise of it all
and aided by complement Of mega
phones, which accompaniment added a
hoarse chorus to the general din, the
U. S. c. delegation gave vent to every
thing in its power that would urge
university player or drown the cries
OF the Claremont rooters. There was
university scheme of noise-making
that played incessantly until some time
during the last half, when apparently
from sheer exhaustion the members
withdrew from further participancy.
Band Enivens Proceedings
The only fault to find with the
cadaverous appearing leader, whose
length of hair lent caste to his posi-
ton, lay in the fact that ''sailing" was
the only air in the repertoire which he
called for during the game. When
Pomona man skinned the end 1t was
sailing" when Jack White left the
field for slugging it was sailing
when a poor unfortunate lost every
vestige of facial expression as result
of mixing with the press box 1t was
Sailing" again; were the yell leaders
calling for something particularly good
in the roofing line the same Offering
went wailing through the dln. AS tney
finally footed themselves out the lin
gering notes of Sailing" followed in
their wake.
over i'm the Pomona section two as
sistants were aiding the versatile lead
or. and as a last resort when the ef-
forts of the three had put them down
and out Benny Bulker OF glee cluD
fame perched on the topmost rail OF the
fence, waving one mana
and holding a song book in the other.
II was a battle royal between the root
ers of either side, and poth asgresa-
tions outdid themselves. A spirit Of
good feeling pervaded it all, however,
and there was ever encouragement for
an opponent when the stress of the
battle retired him for the time being.
Offer Side Entertainment
Not the least of the big do was
free-for-all entertainment near the
press box that resulted in partial
demolishment of the disturbing ele-
ment. For some reason or other a news
naner representatiVe was attacked by
spectator who endeavored to extinguish
the press mans lung power as he sent
telephonic communications over the
wire. In the act of throttling his VIC
tim a resounding wallop from neigh
boring paper man sent the interloper
whirling back into the crowd. Varl-
GUS other connections We're made with
his face, and the intended sacrifice fin
ished il up by landing an eye closing
jab that settled the proceedings to a
nicely. The affair happened near the
close of the first half, and for the
moment the game was forgotten as the
belligerents struggled and the police
rushed to the scene. The offender left
the bleachers considerably disfigured,
and the affair was soon forgotten as
the game waxed furious below.
The II. S. c. eleven yesterday played
the strongest ball which they have eX-
hibited In the south during the present
season, and won by straight football
without a question as to the merits 0f
the game. The Pomona line was not
equal to defense that could prevent
a. score and the powers OF the upi-
versity team, which have In Il manner
been wasted throughout the season by
reason of fumbling, yesterday brought
victory because the varsity men held
