SCHOOL
BEATS SANTA ANA
LOCAL TEAM PREP CHAMPIONS
OF THE SOUTH
GeissIer Easily Star of Game-His
Spectacular Playing Brings the
Crowd to Its Feet with
Cheers

The Los Angeles high school football
team yesterday defeated the crack
Santa Ana high school team by the
score of 70 to 4 at Fiesta park.
The game was for the prep school
championship of the south. The local
high school team played a fair game,
although the team work was little bet
ter than that shown in the game with
Occidental. Ceissler easily was the
star of the game, and his brilliant play
ing brought the crowd to it's feet with
cheers many times. A close contender
for first honors was Boyle, who played
half black and whose line plunging and
end runs gained many yards for the
high school boys. Boyle was seriously
injured toward the latter part of the
second half while bucking the Santa
Ana line. 1t was unofficially announced
that the big half back had sustained a
fracture of the collar bone. He was
removed to his home in an automobile
and a doctor summoned. Cass also
played a good game and used good gen
eralship during the game, particularly
regarding end runs.
Tedford and Du Bots for the Santa
Ana eleven played the best game for
their team, although the former was
outpunted by Geissler. Du Bots made
several pretty runs, one in particular
netting his team a gain of thirty yards
The Santa Ana boys were completely
outgeneraled by the locals and used
poor judgment many times in bucking
their opponents line and throwing the
ball for passes.
Grimm Kicks OFF
Grimm kickel off for the Los Angeles
team to Humphreys of the Santa Ana
team. Santa Ana fumbled on the next
down, and Mcguire got the ball. High

by Wingett, Geissler punted. Santa
Ana worked two forward passes in sue
cession for respective gains of twenty
five and twenty yards. Santa Ana got
the ball to high schools twenty-yard
line and Tedford sent the ball over the
bar for a place kick,

An end run and three successive line
bucks brought the locals to the Santa
Ana sixteen-yard line. Santa Ana was

return was penalized for being offside,
and Cass then tried a forward pass on
the second down. 1t failed and the
locals were penalized twenty yards.

carried the ball to the center of the
field. Dubois made quarterback run
of twenty-five yards for the visitors.
Exchange Punts
An exchange of punts gave the ball
to Los Angeles high on the Santa Ana
thirty-yard line. Cass sent Boyle
through the opposing line for six yards
gain. An end run by Wingett Melted
the remaining four and it was high
schools ball on their opponents twen-
ty-yard line. Boyle made an end run
for eight yards and Wingett plunged
through the line for three more. Boyle
made another end run and Wingett

in the second half, but failed to find
the goal Geissler made a run of twen-
ty-five yards after receiving the ball
from Santa Ana on punt and Win
gett got through the opposing line for
ten yards. Boyle made seven yards
around Santa Ana's left end Wingett
plunged through the line, but when on
the visitors eight-yard line he fumbled
the pigskin, but recovered it before
the Santa Ana boys woke up. Another
plunge through left tackle from the
three-yard line by Wingett Melted the
high school five more points. Brant
kicked the goal from a different angie
and the score stood Los Angeles nlsh
school 10. Santa Ana high school a.
Neither team scored during the re-
mainder of the game, although the local
team lost a chance to score a touch
down by fumbling the ball on their op,
ponents' one-yard line, and the pail
was bounced upon for a touchback.
