Game Arranged with the
Brownsber9er School

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 25.-Basketball
at the Hollywood Union High school Is
becoming a popular branch of ath-
letics, despite the fact that football Is

daily struggling for their respective
places. both in the gymnasium and on
the outside courts.

FOUR HURLED FROM
AUTO; ESCAPE DEATH
MACHlNE>RUNS INTO CURBlNG
OF SIDEWALK
Driver Had Slowed Down to Cross
Tracks and Front Wheel Dropped
Into Depression, Causing
Car to Swerve

Willis Couch, a son of George Couch
of 2744 Raymond avenue and three
young women friends, had a narrow
and remarkable escape from death or
serious injury in an automobile acci-
dent at Jefferson and Figueroa streets
last night.
Young Couch, in his fathers big
touring car accompanied by Misses
Clara Howland, Margaret Wooster and
Irma Williams, were going south on
Figueroa street at high rate of speed,
but when nearing Jefferson street he
slowed up the machine to make the
crossing.
The machine struck the car tracks
at rate of six to eight miles an hour.
and the right front wheel dropped into
a depression by the side of the track,
causing the machine to swerve directly
into the curbing of the sidewalk.
The front axle of the machine was
broken, the left wheel torn off and
the four members of the party thrown
out. While they were all severely
shaken and Misses Wooster and Will
liams were considerably bruised. none
required the services of a physician.
The members of the party were as
sisted to their houes In another motor
car and the broken machine was taken
to shop for repairs.
Witnesses of the accident say at the
speed the machine was going at the
time of the accident and the apparent
force with which Couch and the young
women were thrown out, II was re-
markable they were not killed or Sc
riously hurt.

The final games between the Angels

The honors were even for the day.
each team winning a game. Dolly Gray
twirled for the Angels in the first game
and won by the score of to 2, while
Pat Phillips was sent in by Cap Dillon
TO pitch the second game. a seven
inning affair, and the Seals won by
the same score-4 TO 2.
Phillips did nicely in his tryout, all
lowing only six hits, but poor support
in the field and worse support at bat
prevented him from winning his game.
Willis was touched up for nine hits,
but the Champs did not have their
running clothes on, evidently. as they
only scored twice.
Gray allowed eight hits, but, as usual,
he kept them so well scattered that
only in two innings did the Seals get
more than one hit, two being the limit
in any inning. One of the Seals runs
in this game was scored in the ninth
without the semblance of a hit.
Following are the otficial scores and

There are many applicants for the
position OF referee for the game next
Saturday between the Colorado School
of Mines and ST. Vincent college. which
will be played at Fiesta park. Coach
Draper of the University of Southern
California law school bids fair to get
the job. Although Draper made cou-
pie of errors while officiating at the
Los Angeles high school-U. 5. G. var
sity game, he since has practically
memorized the rules and can be de-
pended upon to act with the utmost
fairness. Another aspirant for the po-
sition Is Coach Warner of the Sher-
man Indians football team. Warner
was In Los Angeles yesterday and
stated that he might attend the game
anyway, and II Is barely possible that
he will suit Coach Henpel OF st. Vim
cent. If II Is Warmers intention to
get line on the Saints playing abili-
ties and formations, the position OF
referee would undoubtedly spoil his
purpose, for as referee he would have
little or no time to watch the par
ticuiar plays of any one team.

creed Saturdays game at Fiesta park.

lecting OF the official, however. win

with the Sherman Indians should be
snatched up by any local team, and
particularly by the Whittier eleven.
Today the Occidental varsity goes
on the training table in preparation
for the three big games with u. 8. c.,
Los Angeles high school and Pomona.
Several influential friends of the col
lege have offered to put up any excess
expense, and with this assured, the
team should commence to develop more
rapidly than at any time SO far this
season. for II is Coach Gortons belief
that for a team to play as 1t should
each member should do nothing out
side of school and working hours ex-
cept to live and think football.
From now on there are to be black
board lectures three times a week and
new plays will be given out every
night. The following men will go into
training and stay on the varsity squad:
Captain e. p. Wieman. George Con-
rad, II. Landreth, Fl. Hopkins. Lloyd
McDermont. J. r. Stuart, Henry Thom-
son, r. C. Patterson. Kenneth Kel-
logg, Kenneth Gordon. Pierce Thomas,

Thomson. Clayton Carus and Ben Fish.
The average weight of this squad is
about 1862 pounds and average height
a little over six feet.

IN ESPITE the fact that there were
seven foreign cars entered in the
~ Vanderbilt cup race the American
automobile world today is elated over
the fact that the great race was won
by an American car, particularly SO as
it was the first time that an American
car, driven by an American driver, had
ever won a contest in an international
race. The manufacturers of the Loco
mobile, the winning car, are grateful to
George Robertson for his remarkable
showing in the race. There were two

but Robertson. driving Locomobile No.
2, showed his superior driving abilities
and made the last lap of the famous
Vanderbilt course at the rate of seventy
miles an hour.
Fully 10000 people lined the course OF
the race and 1t was almost a miracle
that prevented Robertson from coliiding
with the vast throng that swept onto
the track despite the warnings Of "Car
coming" when he came down the last
stretch with the speed of a whirlwind.

The grain of this new variety is
plump, and much larger than the var
ieties commohly grown. The straw
is stiff, tall, and stands 10 well.
A few bushels were distributed for
trial throughout the state last year

per bushet, including sacks. Seed will
be supplied either by. the station or
by farmers who have cooperated with

In. accordance with an ancient GUS

man army who falls from his horse at

to his brother officers in the regiment.
Thus, as soon as he had risen from
