high school players as they tried to
run around his end.
Goodwin was called on to do most of
the punting for his team, and he was
equal to the occasion, getting his pupts
away in neat fashion, with plenty of
height in order that his ends might get
well down the field where they tackled
the catcher in his tracks. Punting
formed an important part in the battle
and aside from this and few passes
by high school the game was a series
of line plunges.
Lull and Mitchell of high school
plunged time after time into the right
side of Poly's line for many yards,
While Lane and Holmes tore great holes
in the right wing of the blue and white
defense. Lane was the best ground
gamer for Poly.
He carried the ball for many yards
by smashing just outside of high
schools right tackle The keen work
of Geisler and Grant, the ends on the
high school team, soon showed the
Poly players that 1t was sure death to
try to penetrate their part of the de-
fense. Both of these men formed an
important part in the only score of the
day, and If Grant had not hurdled
Holmes in the second half the blue and
white eleven would have had another
touchdown, as he passed the Poly cap
tain and placed the ball across the goal
line, only to lose the score on the PEN
atty.
Mitchell won the toss and chose the
south goal with the light wind in his
favor Goodwin of Polytechnic kicked
off and the ball hit Silent OF high and
bounced into the arms OF Goodwin,
who ran to high schools 35-yard line
before he was downed. After a few
; plays high held Poly and on the first
down Mitchell booted the ball far UP
| the field into Poly's territory.
Here Holmes and Lane tried to pierce
the stone wall defense of high, and fall

Mitchell, who came back ten yards.
High tried Mitchell through left

with another five in the same place,

play, but Poly held and Mitchell punt

was downed in his tracks by Berry

Wagner scoring 103 runs each--the only
players to pass the century mark.
When it comes to batting the large
men have carried off the palm, espe-
cially for straightaway stick work, the
smaller men depending to a great ex-
tent on their bunting and beating out
grounders.
The most conspicuous batsmen OF the
past were Anson, Kelley, Gore. Jim

Connor, McVey, Hines, Harry Stovey,
Tip O'Neill, Hardie Richardson. Bill
Lange, William Ewing, Pete Browning,

All were extra large men for ball
players and all were straightaway
batsmen. While the straightaway

driving runs in. Then there are the
small men with good averages. who
bunt and beat out infield hits, but send
home few runs, such as Huggins. Kee-
ler Bay, Hartsel, Ganley and Hahn.
A few of the greatest sluggers the
game ever produced were medium sized
players. such as Lip, Pike, West, Fis-
Ter, Ross. Barnes, Dalrymple, Jimmie
Ryan. Mike Tiernan, Sadie Houck and
Dan O'Leary, showing that small men
can hit the ball just as far as the
| larger men.
Hitting has changed completely dur
ing the last ten years, a condition pre-
dicted by Harry Chadwick a quarter
of a century ago, when he fought
against the style OF fungo hitting and
advised the players TO take q shorter

to the 25-yard line on bucks and Poly
held, but Mitchell tried the forward
pass to Geisler, which worked to per-
rection for eight yards. The same play
netted high another gain of ten yards
which brought the ball to Polys T.

Lull made three through left tackle

down for the touchdown amid hearty
cheers from the high school rooters.

half was fought in the middle of the
field.
Mitchell kicked to Taylor, who re-

by Bergman. Holmes punted after a

One of the largest crowds ever as

Los Angeles journeyed to Fiesta park
yesterday afternoon and saw the Los
Angeles high school team defeat the
Polytechnic high warriors to the tune
of to 0.
The day was ideal for "a good fast
gridiron battle, and the $500 rooters
were brought to their feet time after
time when some player showed his skill
by making long run or a flying tackle
Both teams were evenly matched, and
the game was hard fought from the
time the whistle blew for the beginning
OF the game until time was called at
the end of the second half.
With the field in excellent condition,
the crowd expected to see some fast
football, but both teams seemed to be
in poor condition, and time was taken
out far too often TO make the contest
overexciting. The teams We're slow I'm
giving their signals, and this delayed
the game TO no little degree. on one
occasion Polytechnic was penalized for
delaying the game on this account, but
taking the game as a whole the rooters
were we'll pleased with the feats OF
their warriors.

POMONA MEETS
WITH DEFEAT
OCCIDENTAL SCORES SECOND
VICTORY

Occidental won second place in Cali
fornia intercollegiate football yester-
day on her own grounds by defeating
Pomona college with a score Of Il to 8.
The score does not tell how close the
game really was. 1t was a punting
duel from the first and poor running
and tackling by Pomona ends made
Metcalf's efforts fruitless. The game
abounded I'm trick plays, such as fake
punts, forward and double passes,
making 1t interesting at all times for
the spectators.
Pomona seemed hardly to have recov-
cred from the drubbing administered
last Saturday by u. S. c., her men
missing many apparently easy open
field tackles. She took a brace at the
opening of the second half, however,
and during most of that period Occi-
dental was kept defending her goal line,
Weiman being forced twice to put
from behind It, and yMetcalf got three
tries at place kicks.
Metcalf's place kicking and Wieman' 8
punting were features of the game, and
Chisholm played a great defensive
game for Pomona.
First Half
Wieman kicked OF to Chisholm, who
ran In twelve yards. Pomona was
penalized for off side play and this,
together with the tumble, seemed to
make her lose heart o. G. bucked to
the 1O-yard line and Merrill skirted
right end on a fake pass for a touch
down. Wieman failed goal

back twenty yards. A punting duel en-
