During the earlier days. when
our progenitors were living on the
banks of the Euphrates and Tigris,
gnawing bones IN front of caves and
drinking grape juice out of greasy
pig skins, no doubt they might
have been living the simple OF
higher life in their day and gener-
alton; but, in this, the twentieth
century, with all the refining in
fuences and advanced position of
man, with the combined force of
his noble pure and wise methods
of living and government, ex-
pressed in law and custom, this
same race, these same wise, noble,
pure and higher qualities that have
brought the Anglo-Saxon to his
present exaulted position, and he,
having learned by centuries of use
and experience, as a child learns
to avoid the fire, the degrading
and unbenefcial results of in
toxicants, is demanding, as the
next step in his onward march the
complete dethronement of the
whiskey habit.
AS a child learns to walk so does
man grope his way to a higher
plane of living. What he did yes

ancient Egypt attempted to
thwart the exodus of the Jews,
and the great Jehovah Was very
patient with him, but the time
had come, as in this case, for the
change, and there was no power on
earth sufficient to prevent it. This
cause, though opposedby high and

Jain of a favorable disposition.

1t looked for a moment as though the
Saints would score, but Martin
smashed the expectant bubble by hurl-

runner for a beautiful tackle. Meats

covering an onside kick by Midget
Meats for a gain of fifteen yards
Stoney then was sent through the
Miners center for two yards, and Casey
made a gain of five yards around the
opponents right end. Here Tortez tried
the second plact kick for the Saints
from the Miners 30-yard line, and
again missed the goal posts, and Brooks

THROOP LOSES

TO 43
eorton Does Not Allow Collins to
Enter Came and Takes Out
Captain Wieman in the
First Half

Outplayed, outweighed, but not out
gained, the team representing Throop
college was overwhelmingly defeated
by the Occidental Tigers yesterday
morning on the Occidental gridron.
Score Occidental AZ, Throop college, Q.
Although the game was onesided It
was a pretty game and filed with
spectacular runs and forward passes.
Throop made her downs but twice,
using the forward pass for both gains,
and on the last one carrying the ball
from Occidentals 40-yard line to her
one-yard line. Here the Occidental
forwards took a brace and held the
Mechanics in their tracks for two
downs, and on the third down they
fumbled and Hopkins fell on the ball.
Coach Gorton would not allow Col
Inns to enter the game at all, and early
in the first half took out Captain VIE
man, to prevent him from being in
jured At the beginning of the sec-
ond half Gorton sent in five more new
men, and this prevented his team from
making as many points as they Gid
in the first half.
The Presbyterians used straight
football almost entirely, blowing
through the Throop line and running
around their ends at will, and varying
their plays with now and then a for
ward pass. They showed much i'm
provement over last Saturdays work
and if the halves had been a little
longer and the game been played in
the afternoon the score probably would
have been much different. Thomson
and Hopkins were the bright stars for
the Presbyterians. the former bucking
through the Throop line at will and
punting after Wieman left the game.
The latter made two beautiful runs of
40 yards each and scored two touch
downs for his team. Thomas at quar-
terback played a brilliant game at his
position, directing his team in a heady
manner and doing some beautiful scat
tered field running. Landreth at right
tackle also put up a good game in the
line and scored three touchdowns,
For Throop, Brown and Hill played
a pretty game tackling well, although
too light to get through the Occidental
line. In the last half Merrifield, right
end for Throop. got away for what
appeared to be q sure touchdown, but
he was caught on the one-yard line
by Hopkins and lost the only chance
of scoring ~ touchdown that Throop
had throughout the game.

Brooks punted to Meats on the latter S
45-yard line.
Tortez bucked for a two-yard gain
through the Miners left tackle. Ybar-
rando missed a forward pass and the
Saints were penalized Is yards. Stoney
punted to Brooks, who fumbled, and
Grindle recovered the ball on the Min
ers' 5-yard line Casey made 80 yards
around the Miners left end, but the
Miners held on the next center buck.
Tortez tried a place kick from the
Miners 30-yard line, but missed the
goal by five feet or more. Skinner
caught the bah and carried the pig
skin in Is yards. Skinner made Z
yards around the Saints right end on
an end-round play. The Miners then
forfeited the ball on downs, but the
Saints failed to gain and they in turn
last on downs.
The Saints line held on the first
down and Brooks kicked out of bounds
on their opponents 50-yard line and
Tortez fumbled. The Miners recoV-
cred the ball Douglass made 5 yards
on a right end run and Kirschman
made three yards on a center buck.
triple pass by the Miners resulted
in no gain. Gilbert made 20 yards
around the Saints right end on for
ward pass by Douglass and the Miners
lost the ball on SIfdlSnL uOWnS. olOuSy
punted to Brooks ON the Saints So
ward line, but was downed in his
tracks. Brooks made a forward pass
to skinner for the Miners, Skinner
carrying the sphere around the Saints
left end.
Miners Make Touchdown
On the next play, which also was
the Miners first down, Brooks passed
the ball to Gilbert, who was waiting
about 20 yards to the left of the center
of the scrimmage, and was entirely
unnoticed by the st. Vincent players
He received the ball with ease and
without the least bit of interference
and made a run of 80 yards, to
touchdown. Skinner kicked the goal
and the score stood Colorado g.,
Saints 0.
Grindle kicked off to Martin, who
received the ball on the Miners To-
ward line, and he made a lodging run
to his 45-yard line and when tackled
by Grindle he fumbled the ball and
recovered it before the Saints rooters
had finished rousing cheer. Martin
made three yards ON a straight buck
and Kirschman made two more ON
center buck. Here the Saints line
stiffened and received the ball on
downs ON the Miners 45-yard line

thoroughly enjoyed by 5000 rooters.
Where the Saints expected to find only
sieve-lfke resistance of the rusheS of
their halfbacks, they encountered
stonewall defenders. Where the To-
Gals anticipated a weak defense for
their forward passes and end runs,
they found alertness in the wing po-
sitions. Surprises flew across the grid
iron thick and fast from the very out
set and there hardly was moment in
the whole game when the vast crowd
was not cheering some spectacular play
made by one side or the other.
Great credit is due to the plucky
Saints when the fact is taken into
consideration that the visitors battled
for every inch of ground which they
gained. In the first place the Miners
were a vastly stronger team than the
Saints expected to find and the local
eleven was less brilliant against the
visitors than Grand avenue rooters
believed HempeTs men would be. No
one can say that the Saints did not
put UP a great battle, although they
were playing losing game from the
start. They fought like madmen, al
ways for ground. A foot, a yard or
five yards gained stirred them on to
greater energies.
Many Saints Injured
Tortez. their fullback, was removed
from the game with a wrenched arm,
but this did not discourage the Saints.
Grindle, their star captain, was re-
moved with q broken jaw, but this
did not tend in the least to make
them play with less enthusiasm. They
chung on like bulldogs, determined to
die fighting If necessary. Then Stoney
crashed into a fence, when forced out
of bounds, and broke his nose. stoney
refused to quit the game at the re-
quest of the referee and by remaining
in the scrimmage expressed the fight
ing sentiment Of the whole team. Ihen
somebody crashed on Ybarrando and
caved his chest in and Yebbe played to
the end of the game because he knew
there was no other to cover his po-

the required five-yard limit, and the
Saints were penalized twenty yards
Stoney punted to Brooks from the CEN
ter of the field, who was downed in his
tracks. Douglass made seven yards on
a prettily executed split play. On the
next play the miners were penalized
for being offside This forced Brooks
to punt for his distance in the next
play to Meats, who was downed on the
Saints twenty-yard line. A hush fell
upon the vast crowd as Captain
"Pinky" Grindle was lifted to his feet
by two of his team mates, and many
of the crowd who were near enough to
the plucky little captain could easily
see the spasms of agony that shook MS
body. rousing cheer went up as
"Pinky'' broke away from his support
ers and rushed to his position. HIS
effort was short lived however, as he
was taken from the field after the next
down completely exhausted and Left

Receivers Ball
Stoney punted forty-five yards and

completely off their guard. BROOKS
kicked to Skinner for a fair catch, and

Stoney kicked off to Kirschman, who
