GAME FOR A. A. A.

High

The All Stars defeated the so-called
Armory Athletic association team at
Fiesta park yesterday afternoon by z3
to 6, and didn't half try to increase the
mauling at that.
The lineup of tEe alleged Armory bunch
was mess from start to finish, ana
s,,rerasnn of Los Angeles high
school was responsible for the sorry man
aGement of the game. In the first place,
the All Stars, composed of men who are
considered the best players in their re-
spective positions on the college elevens
of Southern California, were advertised
to play Los Angeles high, interscholastlc
champions of California. But Sorenson
backed out on the plea that his team
might suffer vital injuries which might
disable it in the coming big games
against Seattle and the winner of the
Berke1ey-Lick game. When Sorenson re-
fused to play, the All Stars got the Ar
mory Athletics to agree to a game, and
it was 50 taken for granted that these
two teams would play Saturday. Bill
Traeger, with las customary good nature,
went oIrt of his way to help the Armory
bunch. and wasted every afternoon for
two weeks in coaching them hard. AS
a result, the Armory, consisting OF old
players of reputation on well known
teams all over the country, showed up
strong.
But yesterday Afternoon Sorenson re-
nigged and as result a crowd of Los
Angeles high school players went on the
field disguised as the Armory team.

The First Half
The game was marred owing to the
fact that both teams were not we'll
drilled on signals. Each man knew his
own signal. but this mixed things up
badly, and when n man got the ball he
had to go il alone almost every time.
The first half started out with repeated
penalties for both teams for off-side
plays. Stan Mitchell caught Brek's
punt at the Armory's thirty-five-yard
line and ran clear down the field alone,
with the whole All Stars bunch after
him. for touchdown. Elt Brown kicked
goal. Score to in favor of the Armory.
The All Stars bucked up when the
touchdown by their opponents finally
got them mad, and the Armory was
swamped with ease. Brannen, Stoney
and Burek took the ball by turns. making
from five to twenty yards at every
plunge. straight down through the Ar
mory line, = rex taking the oval over for
touchdown. Grindle kicked goal
Score TO 8.
Mitchell kicked off and Gait returned
it twenty-five yards without interference.
Stoney and Burek again went through
the line time after time for big gains.
and Gait made fifteen yards around right
end. The first half ended with the ball
on the Ermory's five-yard line.
The Second Half
De Yuberrando made a great quarter
back kick, and the All Stars ends got
down so fast that Stan Mitchell was
pushed back to within one yard of the
Armory goal line when he caught the
ball. The Armory kicked out and De
Yuberrando took the pigslSin back to the
twenty-yard line. Burek made five yards
