men back from last years squad Coach
Webster has no doubt that he VIII nave
one of the fastest teams in the soptn
within 81 few more weeks. Capt. Taylor'
who made such fine showing at quar-
ter last year, is back again this year.
He has been playing at quarter put

wanted. Lewis is making q strong
showing against Hill and James for the
end positions and is showing up well at
the quarter position. He is fast ana
handles the ball like an old timer.
Peters and Bushnell will make the
tackle positions, while Manlin, Wright,
Potter. Smith and Temple are out for

There will be meeting of the repre-
sentatives of the A. A. u. this evening
at 7. M. G. A. to consider the SWIM
ming tournament which was recently
granted by the northern board and
also to pass upon the privileges granted
by the northern commission in regard
to the Elks' wrestling, boxing and fenc-
ing Journeys which will be pulled off at
Chutes park this winter. Claude Bra

and the matter pertaining to amateur
ball will also be discussed. 1t Is ru-
mored that several of the high school
students will be placed upon the black
list for taking part in the national
game this summer.
There is a proposition on foot that
the members of the A. A. y. will grant
a charter to the Pastime Soccer foot
ball club to show that they are anna
teurs and eligible to take part in the
different Soccer games which will be
played In this city In the winter season.
There is a movement on foot to or
ganize a. Soccer football team in the
city of Redondo, and If plans carry they
will make application to the Southern
California Soccer Football league for
membership.
Another matter that may be dis
cussed is the granting of the grammar
| school athletic committee the privilege
| Of holding swimming classes at Biminl
baths during the present school season
| Such action would save all Ill feeling
among the directors of the grammar
school board.
The organization of a basketball team
at Whittier high school Is under way.
Prof. o. e. Rodgers has a squad on
records and tryouts, and the prospect
for pennant winning team is In sight.
Those who may make the team are
Redman. Stone, Hatch, Pemberton,
French, Ballard, Whitherow, knight,
Haskell, Allen, Tabor and Louden.
Redman was one of the crack team
last year. Stone has a wonderful reach
for a center, his height being feet 8
inches. Prof. Rodgers will shortly have
practice games played for a selection
of the team. The boys are showing
good spirit in the coming campaign.
About fifteen men turned out last
night to work for a place on the Los
Angeles high school basketball team.
This is the first practice game the boys
have gone through, and although some
of them look like the goods on the
basketball line nearly all of them are
new at the game. Capt. Jack Harrigan
will put the men through some hard
practice this week and the team will
be picked later.
