Boys from Making ANY
Goals

Occidental college reached into the grid
iron grab bag and pulled out an over
whelmingly lucky number on their home
field yesterday afternoon.
They took a couple of whirls at the
football faro on the same day, but the
one the Presbyterians want to talk about
is when they brought the Whittier state
school into camp with Al points to their
credit.
The school boys were unable to score
on the Highland Park players and the
odds were so one-sided that the second
team was allowed spell of practice after
the first half and the varsity retired in
their favor, trust the fate of the college
to the dummies.
Whittier is scheduled to play U. S. G.
at an early date and since the score is
expected to be close 1t is topic of con-

II to o. VI
Thompson started anew for the High
landers and held the oval on the 30-yard
line. Whittier kicked and Speedy Rush
safely registered another touchdown
after sprinting for fifty yards. Petty, a

another goal safely.

and Thompson returned with punt.
