BURGLAR SCARE TURNS
OUT TO BE FALSE ALARM
Police Officers, Plain Clothes Men and
Citizens Hurry to Juanita Apart
ment House, Expecting to
Make Capture

A squad of police officers, several
plain clothes men and a number of cit
liens were hurried to the Juanita
apartment house, 1856 South Figueroa
street, last night on the report that a
bold and desperate burglar was rob-
bling the place.
When the police arrived the entire
house was in an uproar, and Mrs Be-
atrice Sjoberg, the landlady, was al
the point of distraction trying to calm
her guests, one of whom, in escaping
from the clutches of the supposed
burglar, had run from her apartments
and fallen over chair, the noise OF
which added to the disorder.
Detective George Home investigated
the case and found that there had been
no burglary, the whole trouble having
arisen from the hearing of door rat
tie in a buffet kitchen on the second
floor.

GRIDIRON SEASON
OPENS SATURDAY
NEARLY ALL LOCAL ELEVENS
HAVE GAMES
LOS ANGELES HIGH AND U. S. c.
IN LEADING CONTEST
Classy Exhibition Expected at Uni'
versity Grounds, and This viii Be
Most Important Scramble
Of the Day

Football enters the athletic arena OF
Southern California tomorrow with
gridiron battles scheduled omong the
leading college teams of Southern Cal
ifornia. With the exception of Whit
tier, every local team will be seen in
action, while the northern college eleV-
ems have an imposing list of games
billed for the day. University OF
Southern California and the Los An
geles high school teams will be in the
limelight on Fiesta park field. Tnls
contest will be the most important
game of the day and the Los Angeles
rooters are counting on a classy eX-
hibition of early season football from
the rivals. The other games are large
ly on the practice order, but sectlonai
rivalry and first of the year enthusl-
asm will result in q number of hard
fought contests.
st. Vincent, the next opponent OF the
Los Angeles high school, will furnish
a line on it's strength in it's game with
the u. S. c. law school football team
at the u. S. c. oval. Pomona college
will play Santa Ana at Claremont ana
the Occidental freshmen will try out
with the Pomona freshmen at Clare
mont The Occidental preps will play
the Throop academy students at the
latters grounds, while the Pasadena
high school team is bucking Throop'
line at the formers oval. The Harvard
school team will meet the Hollywood
high school eleven at Hollywood, The
seaside fans will be entertainedN with
classy exhibition at Santa Monica
when the crack eleven from the Santa
Monica high school will play an ex-
hibition game.
The workout of the U. s. c. varsity
squad yesterday was anything but sat-
isfactory to the coaches. The men
were slow and went through their sig
mails half-heartedly, while Bureck
showed up purely at catching the
punts. Thompson did most OF the
punting yesterday and invariably
reached sthe 46-yard line. The poor
showing of the men undoubtedly was
due to the warm and muggy atmos-
phere. Ickes, the star quarterback or
u. s. c., still is out of the game on
account of a lame ankle, which he
injured during the practice Wednes-
day. He expects to be in shape for
the Saturday contest, however. The
varsity eleven will not be picked until
after Saturdays game, in which prob
ably thirty u. S. c. players will par
ticipate.
The work of the high school team
yesterday was pleasing to Coach Noble.
The boys worked like Trojans and
went through their signals with speed
The team works as unit, each man
does his part, thus eliminating individ-
ualism, which does more harm than
good to the average football team. THE
student body of the Los Angeles high
school is confident that the team will
emerge from the game victorious, re-
gardless of the fact that the u. S. c.
team is pounds heavier.

HEMPEL is PROUD OF
ST. WNCENT'S ELEVEN
Thinks II Far Superior to Last Years
Team in Strength and Playing
AbiIity-GivIng Good
Practice

Perhaps the fact that many people
are offering odds that the Los An
geles high school football team will
defeat st. Vincent's football squad
may be due to over-zealousness on
the part of the long enders. Regard
less of the fact that the game yet Is
ten days away and that Hempers CEN
ters are out of the scrimmages, owing
to injuries, excitement is keen among
the students Of both institutions re-
garding the possible outcome of the
contest. AS is well known among To-
cal football enthusiasts, Coach Hem
pel is not given to magnifying the pos
sibilities of his eleven, but he stated
yesterday that "The eleven that rep
resents ST. Vincent this year Is much
superior to last years team," fact
which was proven yesterday during
the practice.
The best work of the day was shown
in the signal practice, in which the
bows showed themselves to be adopts
in handling the forward pass. The
men were given a long practice In
running through plays and running
down kicks, while few OF the boys
were given a chance at punting. Dur
ing one of the scrimmages, Stoney and
Casey collided. Casey received a slight
cash on the forehead and Stoneys
right eye. was closed. This did not
hinder them from continuing in the
practice, however.
Whatever victories the Saints con-
tribute to the Southern California foot
bali world will have been won EN-
tirely on the merits of the game.
Coach Hempel is teaching his men
football not gymnastic exercises. The
coach shows his ability by eradicating
trick plays and giving the time to
strengthening his team in the more i'm
portant points, such as kicking, buck
runs and straight formations.
Instead of playing Saturday, Coach
Hempel will take his men to the u.
s. G. and Los Angeles high game,
which will be pulled off at Fiesta park.

MICHIGAN TEAM MAY PLAY
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA STARS

If plans that are now under way ma
ture, Southern California football fans
will be treated to one of the most
toothsome gridiron dainties as a New
Years gift. One of the leading features
of the Tournament Of Roses at Pasa-
dena on New Years day. which foot
bali promoters are figuring on, will be
the importation of University OF Michi-
gan football eleven west, after their
season closes, to play game New
Years day with picked all Southern
California college team. The men will
be picked from Occidental, u. S. c.,
st. Vincents and Pomona. The advis-
ability of admitting some of the Sher-
man Indian cracks to the team is be-
ing considered, but those in charge feel
that a purely amateur college team,
totally representative of California col
leges, would reflect more credit on the
south.
Were it not for the fact that the
northern colleges are playing Rugby
this year the Wolverines would play
with Stanford or Berkeley. 1t is pos
sible that a game may be played with
st. Vincents, playing as unit, II the
Saints do not go to Arizona, as Hem
pei has planned. For the last two
years it has been the ambition of the
Michigan team to take the California
trip, and with this as a reward in
view for winning season, the Wolver-
ines are working hard to clean up
everything in their section of the coun-
try.
If the deal goes through the differ
ent coaches of the south will pick the
men who have done the best work
during the season, which will close
Thanksgiving day and keep a squad of
about twenty men, composed of war
riors from the different colleges, in
training, and have them get together
on Saturdays for practice. until the
Christmas vacation. From then until
New Years the men will be worked
out daily at one of the local gridirons.
The coaches will receive no remunera-
tion for their services, but will work
for the glory of Southern California.
