SSt' yincent's college exceedingly re-
prefs that the enthusiasm or newspaper
writer's, over which we have no cohtIo,,
should for a moment interfere with
the good feeling and sportsmanlike at
tltude which has always existed be-
tween ST. Vincent's college and l.. A.
high school.
sIt was common report last season
that every team st. Vincents college
met in football was conVersant WIN
our style of play; therefore we decided
this season to keep spectators from our
field.
.T trust that L. A. high will admit
that Walter Hempel has always been
a friend of their football team.
"In view of the fact that these mis-
leading statements may have caused
considerable feeling, 1 would respect
fully request you to have my statement
communicated to the students of l.. A.
high school. Very respectfully yours
WALTER HEMPEL."

Is INV conviction that the newspaper
articles should not be allowed in any
way to mar the good feeling between
our schools So far as Los Angeles

assured that we are in no way as
turbed by any of the newspaper state
ments. A..
"Our boys are disposed to play the
manly mart at all times and we are
convinced that you know nothing to
the contrary. Yours truly.
MRS. SUSAN M. DORSEY, :.
"Vice Principal"
After these explanations We're ,,s; sx-

following communication:
"City Editor, Los Angeles Herald

Now that things again are on a mar
monious footing, the public should VIII
ness a good football game SATURDAY
afternoon when the elevens represent
ing these two schools meet at Fiesta
mark. They undoubtedly are the best
football artists in Southern Callfor-
mia and play practically the same
style of game.
The student body of st. Vincents
college held a meeting yesterday art
ernoon at which it was UNANIMOUSLY
mostly that may have arisen between
the two schools. They will ATTEND
the football game in a body and Will
cheer every good play that IS mace
by a member of the Los Angeles nign
school student body. The student
body of the Los Angeles high school
will reciprocate, now that the truth or
the situation is realized. and the pub
lie should be we'll entertained by the
magnanimity of both schools.
The Occidental varsity will go into
the Sherman Indian game next Satur-
day In crippled condition, from all
present Indications, although Coacn
Gorton is working the men hard to-
overcome that state of afrairs. cap
tain Wieman Is suffering with an IN
jured knee and rib, and it is probable
that he will not be able to get In the
game. "Bull" Thomson, right end and
heaviest man ON the team still Is
out of the game on account OF an
abscess on his leg, and has been for-
hidden by his physician to enter the
game under any circumstances SO
that, in all probability, Hopkins Will
have to fiji the vacancy. The loss of
these two men will bring down the
weight of the team considerably ana
also weaken the Presbyterian defense,
as Coach Gorton believes IN smashing
up / lays before they have had chance
Saturdays game. along with the Los
Angeles high game, are the most I'M
portant contests of the season for Oc-
cidental, for 1t only is by them that
the dopesters can get line on the
championship of Southern California.

a good sized bunch of rooters.
