work that the score was saved. POLY

line and was able to keep Polytechnic
from scoring through the rest of the half.

Game Remarkably Clean and Fair, and
Only One Player is Injured in
Two Closely Contested
Periods

Los Angeles high school beat Pomona
college yesterday afternoon by a score Of
II to 0. There were some very poor plays
made on both sides in the first half. but
| in the second there were few mistakes.
as it seemed that the boys had limbered
up.
Both teams played clean game and
no disputes arose over any of the decis-
| ions of the referee or umpire.
(. There was only one man disabled in
the whole game, and he was B. Spur
| geon of the Pomona team, who had his
head smashed.
| Throughout the whole game there were
a great many fumbles made by both
| teams. The high school boys seemed to
| be a great deal stronger on offense, but
were unable to hold back the strong
rushes of the Pomona boys. The star
work on both teams was done by Mitch
| ell, Cass and Powers of l.. A. HI. s. and
Metcalf and B. Spurgeon of Pomona.
Both teams seemed very careless of
their line work. the high school being
! penalized three or four times for off side
and once for fouling. while the college
/ boys lost thirty yards for careless play
! ing.
No Score in First
| There was no score made in the first
half, but the high school goal was in
danger toward the end of the period and
was only saved by Stan Mitchell punting
from behind the line for forty yards up
the field
At the beginning of the second half the
Pomona boys nearly made a score, but
the high school secured the ball on
tumble and carried 1t out of danger.
After about ten minutes playing Mitchell
punted from the 50-yard line to the 10
yard line where Walker secured 1t from
the Pomona boys on tumble. Here the
ball was taken over the line in two
downs by Lull. Lull punted out from
behind the line for a place kick and
Mitchell kicked it over.
The second goal was made about five
minutes after the first and was carried
over simply by bucking the line.
The Pomona boys seemed to be afraid
to take any risks and punted on the
third down with only two yards to make.
They also took advantage of heeling the
ball and obtaining free kick. They were
strong on bucks, as they carried the ball
the whole length of the field two or
three times simply on bucks.
Mitchell did some very fine punting
and also made few good end runs.
The finest play of the game was made
by Jay Powers, who carried the ball
around left end forty yards
| The work of Cass is to be commended
in the handling of his team as quarter
back.
Surgeons Are Stars
b. Spurgeon and w. Spurgeon were the
star players of the Pomona team. and
1t was through their hard work that SO
many good bucks were made.
Throughout the whole game the high
school team seemed to work better and
to be in better form than Pomona.
