MINERS DEPART
FOR COLORADO
VICTORIOUS ELEVEN IN HIGH
SPIRITS
SAINTS AND COACH HEMPEL NOT
DISCOURAGED
Rocky Mountain Champions Are Play
ing Stars of "Big Four" Aggrega-
tons and Should Prove Un-
beatable in West

The Colorado school of mines foot
ball squad left Los Angeles yesterday
morning for Denver, where they will
play the University of Denver team next
Saturday. The men were in good con-
dition and did not show any i'll effects
from Saturdays game with the Saints.
Coach Russell stated before leaving
that the Saints proved a harder PROPOSE
ton for his team than did the Utah
Aggies the week before.
Coach Hempel is far from being dis
appointed at the showing made by his
team, and as soon as Tortez Stoney
and Captain Grindle have recovered
sufficiently to appear upon the field he
will start practice for the game with
the Utah Aggies, which is scheduled
for November IA at Fiesta park. Hem
pei is assured that no team in the west
could have made a better showing
against the Miners than did the Saints
last Saturday.
1t is said that the Miners team is
composed of players who have repre-
scented many of the fastest eastern col
lege elevens in years gone by. Brooks,
particularly, is said to have received
his letter while at Dartmouth college
for his showing on the "big four
eleven. 1t is rumored that other mem
elevens as Holy Cross, Brown and the
University of Chicago. The showing
made by the Colorado bunch during the
recent game was proof enough that the
players had seen football, and football
Of a style that is common with the
"big four organizations Neverthe-
less, the Saints are not attempting to
belittle their conquerors, and are CIV
ing the Miners all credit due for such
magnificent showing.
Ybarrando was reported as having
improved slightly from the bruises to
his chest which he sustained during
Saturdays game. Storey's broken nose
has been set, and he is expected to be
in scrimnaging condition by the end of
proving. A close examination Of his
jaw failed to show any fractures, al
though it is bruised so badly that he
hardly Is able to open his mouth.
The Occidental Tigers will go to
Santa Ana tomorrow to play the high
school team of that city. The Peat
landers are credited with being a fast
bunch, for they have beaten every team
they have gone up against this year,
including a to victory over Pomona.
The Santa Ana boys play a game
closely resembling Los Angeles highs
style of play, and this should give the
11SoOJ IClAe1ll0 SOOd PAaCIACC AOA tl1O
game with the local school. The Santa
Ana team is scheduled to play Los An
geles high next Saturday and the COM
parison Of tomorrows game with that
of Saturday will give the local fans a
chance to figure dope on the result of
the l.. A. high-Occidenta1 game.
AS the Presbyterians have gone over
two weeks without a hard game the
men are in fairly good physical condi-
ton. In fact they are better than st
any time this season, and Collins un-
doubtedly will be in good condition to
play, for the first time in three weeks.
McDermont, who had been out of the
game since the contest with the In
dams, is much better, and, along with
Landreth, is the most aggressive line
man on the team. His presence at right
tackle will add materially to the
strength of the team. Fish, who has
been playing right half during the alb
sence of Collins, has worked himself
up almost on a par with both the other
halves, and with johnson and Thomson
added to these men the Presbyterians
will have the heaviest baclzfield in
Southern California, the average for
the four being over 1853 pounds.
AS tomorrow has been declared
holiday by the school faculty, there
probably will be big bunch Of rooters
with the team.
