Holmee Makes Long Run

Toe Angeles Polytechnic high jour-
neyed to Pasadena yesterday aiteri'oon
ana scalned the Throop eleven TO tne me
tune of to 0 before a CROWD Ol fVo
rootare THE game was played on
duetv feId and was an unlnterestils
ono Tor the spectators In splte OF tne
n,,,nber Of times both teams pooteu tne
oval. 49,. a,,a obose the
so,,th epal with q strong wind in their
SoS,or hut failed to take advantage or
tbis favorable condition and resorted
60 line nlunges rather than using their
heads and punting on each exchange
of kicks In the first half Throop would
gain from 10 to 80 yards ana YET tney
tried to work the ball the whole length
of the field which was impossible, for
the strong defense offered by the Polys
clearly showed that Throop had to win
the game by some other means than
llnc plunging. 49,
Throop's quarterback, Gabriel. did
not use his head and his continued
fumbling was inexcusable. His play
ing. together with that of Williamson,
the big right tackle on Throop's eleven,
was away off color and 1t did not take
long for the Poly boys to smash their
plays into the latter and take advan-
tage of the fumbles made by Gabriel
on Holmes punts. The Polytechnic
SCnOOl ledlU llllb year VIII give lIlG DtSl
stiff run to beat them out, and under
the able leadership of Capt. Holmes
should cop the bunting.
Runs for Touchdown
1t was the great 5O-yard run for
touchdown made by Holmes that
brought victory to his team when Ga
briel made a fizzle out of quarter
back kick. Tyler, who played left end
on Throop, was whole team in him
self. His work was wonderful, but he
could not overcome the defects made
by his team mates. Holmes certainly
is a football player and some day he
will be heard from while doing stunts
with some of the big teams.
On team work Poly had outclassed.
Poly kicked to Lee, who ran the ball
back yards before being downed, and
followed by neat run of yards
around left end. On double pass Jones
made 10 yards and then Poly held
Throop on the stop. Horrell and
Holmes entered into a punting duel in
which Horrell had the better of each
exchange by about Is yards. Much line
plunginS was tried by both elevens and
the half ended with the ball in Poly's
possession on their own 30-yard line
Score 90.
Stoney of Throop kicked to Holmes
on Poly's 5-yard line, where he was
downed in his tracks. Poly fumbled
and things began to look bright for
Throop as Tyler fell on the oval How
ever Poly was equal to the occasion
and held Throop the first two downs,
so Capt. Lees team were forced to
try place kick, which failed. PoIv
then booted the ball down the field and
Gabriel tried the fatal quarterback
KICK and Holmes made his 50-yard
sprint for touchdown.
Misses Goal
Rlckehauser missed the goal. Score
1t took just twelve minutes to ma1.e
this score. Again Throop kicked IN
POLY and the ball see-sawed I'm and
down the field. Gabriel was replaced
by French at quarter, his f,,mhlin o
having cost Throop dearly befors
Coach Roesch sent him to the side
The half ended with the hall IN
Polys possession as out of bounds m
their 35-yard line. If Throop wants ,
to defeat Los Angeles high Novemhen
II they will have to play far hatter
football than they did in their eybibi-
tion yesterday, while Los Angaias
nigh must needs be on the alert or
Poly VIII drag the blue and white in
