Occidental 12, U. s. C. Law School
Although the Occidental varsity
eleven succeeded in defeating the Uni
versity of Southern California law
school football team yesterday after
noon it only was after one of the
hardest tussles in the way of football
that they have been up against this
season. During the first half OF the
game the ball left the Occidental ter
ritory only once, and then on a punt
1T was generally conceded on the
campus that the barrister team was
a great surprise to Occidental boys,
During the first half the law school
team smashed through the line of the
varsity eleven for gains of from hve
to fifteen yards and at one time had
the ball on Occidental's three-yard
line. The Occidental team lost the
ball In the first half on a trick play
which did not work and by which they
lost ten yards to the law school through
the aid of McGregor, who put up a
phenomenal game.
The two goals were made by Occi-
dental in the second half after two
members of the law schools team had
been too seriously injured to continue
in the game.
When the fact is taken into consid-
Grafton that yesterdays game was the
first contest in which the law school
team has figured, they made most
favorable showing. Coach Draper was
pleased with the work of his men and
has arranged another game with the
Occidental team to be played TUESDAY
afternoon, October 20.
Through some misunderstanding be-
fore the game. Coach Draper was in
formed that he was not to coach his
men from the field during the game.
The instructions surprised Draper, as
he had been led to understand that
the game was to be q practice affair
for the mutual benefit of both teams,
and he refused to give out his lineup.
Coach Gorton of Occidental was dis
gusted with the showing made by his
huskies and between the halves gave
his men an effective talk. as was shown
by their work during the second half.
AS the varsity team is to play the
Indians next Saturday the remainder
OF the intervening time will be given
over to hard scrimmages with the
scrubs.
The Saint Vincent football squad
started practice with new code of
signals yesterday afternoon, and as q
result worked behind closed gates. The
promise of q second schedule for the
scrubs have brought out many of the
younger students, who have reported
to Coach Moores. The coach has ar
ranged a schedule for every other Sat-
urday.
The Saints have a crippled team that
has yet to play it's first game. There
is hardly a man among the regular
ends who is not suffering from some
minor injury, but from present indi-
cations the forwards will be strong
when they face the Los Angeles high
school team next Saturday. Rhein-
child has been working with a lame
shoulder and big Tom Carrigan has
a case of water on the knees. 1t is
doubtful If Garry will be able to
get into the game by Saturday. Coach
Hempel has shifted Tories. the big
Indian, to halfback in place of Grindle
In preparation for the game with Los
has selected Ed Scheller as yell leader
and each of the students will wear a
white hat.
The football team of the Los An
geles high~school was out for prac-
tice yesterday for the first time since
their victory over the u. S. G. varsity
eleven. All the men are in good con-
dition with the exception of Godfrey,
Patterson and Louis Cass. Patterson
wrenched his neck In scrimmage last
week and Cass sprained his knee in
Saturdays game. Both men, however,
expect to be able to participate in
Saturdays game with the Saints.
Coach Noble and Manager Stan Mitch
ell are pleased with the condition OF
the team and are working hard with
their men for the game with st. Vim
cent, which will be played Saturday
at Fiesta park. This is expected to
result in one of the hardest fought
games of the season. as both teams
are fast and play the same style of
game. The game will be the first that
has been played between the two teams
since October Is, 1906.
The first interscholastic Rugby game
of the season will be played Saturday
afternoon between the Polytechnic
high school and the Pomona high
school team of the Orange Belt inter-
scholastic league. The game will be
the first of series to be played be-
tween the schools, the second being
scheduled for October 81.
Coach Stanton of Pomona is in hard
luck Four of his best men are laid
up and are unable to report for prac-
tice, much less to participate in the
game with the Orange Athletic club
eleven, which is scheduled for Satur-
day. His sick list consists of Tango
man, who plays tackle and substitutes
end: Gore, left end; Hartzell, fullback,
and A. Tangeman, halfback.
The u. S. C. eleven was given light
drill Yesterday afternoon, consisting
principally in catching punts and fall
ing on the ball. Captain Burek was
out of the game with a sore arm and
