field on punts theIengthy Presbyterian
center was there almost every time
ahead of his ends Both teams were
penalized frequently for offside plays,
and in the last half Referee Draper
penalized the Occidental men twenty
yards for coaching on the side lines.
Wieman kicked off to high school
at / 80 and high school could not gain.
A punting duel followed and the ball
finally rested in possession of Occi-
dental on the high schools 35-yard
line. Here Landreth was taken out of
the game with a badly sprained leg
and Patterson took his place at left
tackle.
On the next play Occidental attempt
ed forward pass to Thomson and
Wingett intercepted it, but fumbled
and Patterson, picking the ball from
scramble, ran 20 yards to a touch
down, his teammates dragging him
over the line. Wieman kicked goal,
making the score 60. The ball see
sawed back and forth, both teams
fighting fiercely every minute, the half
ending with the ball in high schools
possession in midield.
Both teams trotSd onto the field de-
termined, and high school again
kicked off, with the hope of getting the
ball in Occidental's territory; within
five minutes Occidental had worked
the ball to the high schools thirty
five-yard line, and here Wieman made
beautiful goal from placement, run
ming the total for his team up to 10,
high school 0.
This put the ginger into the

heavy line smashing they worked the

off a bad punt, which went out of
! bounds on his twenty-five-yard line.
On the very next play Decius got away
on a pretty split play and, lodging
every Presbyterian tackler, fell over
the line and later kicked a goal from
d very difficult angle. Score: Occi-
dental 10, high school s.
Both teams had played themselves to
the limit and were almost exhausted,
and high school again managed to
work the ball to Occidentars twenty
fve-yard line and Cass dropped back
! for a place kick, but the ball went far
wide of its mark, and high school

Wieman punted out from his twenty
fve-yard line. and time was called.
Captain Wieman of Occidental stood
| out as pre-eminently the bright star
of the game and demonstrated that he
is one of the best line plungers in the
| south by his long bucks through the
high school line practically unassisted.
! During the last of the first half he
almost got away for a touchdown on
a fake kick; his kicks were long and
| high and gave his ends plenty of time
| to get down under them. Thomas, at
quarter for Occidental played a steady,

well and being especially strong in
| interrupting Cass's outside kicks.
Silent, perhaps, played the most ben
eficial game for the high school OF
any of the men; time and again the
gritty linesman stopped Wieman com
ing through center and piled up short
tackle bucks. Though a little slow in
getting down field, no punt was re-
turned past him.
A feature of the game was the
