FROM academies
HleHLANDERS VICTORIOUS BY
SCORE OF 6 T04
Captain Stan Mitchell Of the High
School Eleven Kicks Goal
from the Field and
Scores Four

The Los Angeles high school team
was deafeated by the Occidental eleven
yesterday at Fiesta park by the score
Of to 4. This is the second game
that the high school students have
played, and so far have broken even.
Occidental proved too strong for their
opponents but had the first academy
team been played at the beginning of
the first half the score might have re-
suited differently.
Capt. Stan Mitchell of the highs put
the second team on the grdiron when
the game opened, and time had not
been called five minutes when Occiden-
tai made its touchdown. Goal was
kicked, making the score to O, and
although the high school eleven tried
again and again to score their attempts
were unsuccessful.
Just before the end of the first half
high advanced the ball to within fifteen
yards of their opponents goal, and after
two downs kicked a goal from the field,
making the score to 4. During the
remainder of the game neither team
| was able to score, Lut both advanced
| the ball far into the territory of their
opponents.
The first half was played furiously,
but during the last of the second both
teams were playing slowly as time was
| called.
The game was attended by one of the
| largest crowds that has so far this
season graced a gridiron contest, and
the bleachers were packed from one
end to the other
Three times during the second half
high tried the forward pass, but in
each instance they were penalized by
Coach Haggarty of st. Vincents. The
first time it was attempted Geissler, who
was playing left end for tie high
| school team, received the ball and
rushed down the field to the ten-yard
line, but by the orders of Haggarty the
ball was brought back and given to
Occidental.
In the succeeding attempts there was
a similar result, and after the third
attempt it was given up by the high
school quarter.
The Occidental backs were strong
and the line of the high school eleven
could not withstand their rushes.
Several times the Occidental team
made large gains on fake runs, but
high evened things by their end dashes.
Time and again the outriggers, Barnt
and Geissler were sent around the end
for gains of twenty yards or more, and
the OccidentalS were unable to down
them.
