gave the local school one of the nara
est tussles of the year, and they are
determined to repeat the trick this
season.
The Pomona players intend to give
the high school team the full penehl
of its trick plays and ability to regis

the Pomona boys realize that tney

against the high school team by olo-

plish much by new football. Their line,
as did u. S. C.'s and st. Vincent's, will
find 1t difficult to hold the high school
line long enough to give their backs
and ends time enough to negotiate trick
plays. Their danger to high school
lies i'm the latter's own tendency to
tumble and in the proficiency of the
Pomona back field in dropping goals
from the field.
High schools lineup probably will be
the same as that which started the
game with the Saints last Saturday.
Occidental VS.. Whittier
Occidental meets Whittier tomorrow
on the Highland Park field In her first
conference football game OF the sea-
son. Although Whittier was beaten by
II. $. c. last Saturday by three touch
downs, the game with Occidental Is
expected to be close from start to nm

that Coach Gorton will have to use
several subs, who, although expert
enced are not considered heavy enough
to buck the Quakers' line.
So far this season Gorton's pupils
have found it difficult to master the
forward pass and onside kick, and in
the game tomorrow probably will rely
on straight football.
The Rugby game, which starts at
1:30 o'clock between Poly and Redlands
high school, will give the local fans the
first opportunity to witness one of the
Southern California high school Rugby
league games. Polytechnic is consld-
cred strong, as the team defeated Po-
mona high school last Sunday. Red

quantity this season. Although they
had one of the best teams In the league
last year, the loss of the Sanborn
brothers will depreciate their chances
of success.

The Occidental preps meet Pasadena
