Los Angeles herald., 1908-10-18


Mitchell. who was standing within a
few feet of where the tackle was made,
was under the impression that Tortez
had tackled too high. AS Cass and his
tackler came rolling over the line, out
of bounds Mitchell grabbed both men
with the idea of assisting them to their
feet, when suddenly big fellow In
red sweater and wearing the UNIFORM
of ST. Vincent came tearing down the
side line and grabbed Stan none too
gently. Then Coach Hempel jumped
in, as Stan turned to see what was the
trouble, and grabbed him. A bystander
suggested that the excited coach mao
intended to catch the player who was
wearing the st. Vincent suit ana lnaue
a mistake. Coach Hempel insisted that
Stan be put off the field. That falling,
he asked the referee to remove him 10
the opposite side of the oval. Inc
referee used his judgment in the mat
ter, and Stan remained Where ne was
throughout the game.
The members of the st. Vincent foot
ball team who participated in the game
showed themselves to be as gritty
a squad as ever donned a padded suit
The stars of the team were Tortez, the
giant Indian left half, who plunged
through the high school line like
mad bull, invariably making his as
lance, and Stoney, whose successful
punts many times put his team mates
out of danger by sending the pail INTO
the high school territory Ybarando
Eacted as quarterback during the first
half and was substituted in the second
half by Midget" Meats, who piloted
his men to an eleventh hour squirt.
which was spoiled by the failure OF
place kick for goal by Tortez.
High Better at Puntng
j., mo that the
high school boys were particularly SUI
perior, thanks to the good right leg
of Decius. Los Angeles high puntted
twelve times while the Sairres kicked
ten times. But the blue and white
did not make use of Decius' power TO
outkick his opponents as much as II
should. Captain Cass of the hlSh
school, who played quarterpacK' ex-
changed kick after kick with the
Saints through the first half and way
into the second, attempting to get the
ball within heeling distance of field
goal. In this they succeeded during
the second half but for some reason
or other they failed to try at the goal,
trying, instead, a center buck, when
cost them the ball on the third down
and the blue and white lost their nrst
and last chance to score.
In a game open as was the one yes
terday there was plenty of opportunity
to see what was going on and the
spectators were given rare treat IN
witnessing the tackling of the Saints
ends and Left Tackle Grimm for the
high school, Many times did Quar-
terback Cass get down the field for
from 20 to 60-yard runs, and as often
did the Saint rooters show their sports
manlike spirit by cheering the plucky
quarterback to the echo, and, al
though the Saints rooters were out
numbered to 1, the noise they made
was as volumnious as that made by
the high school sympathizers.
Glessler Kicks off for High
Giessler kicked off for high school to
the Saints 5-yard line, where Stoney
made a splendid catch and carried
the ball forward for twenty yards be-
fore being tackled by Giessler. A
punt. by Huppert for the Saints sent
the ball to the high school 45-yard
line, where Cass recovered it, after
tumble, and was downed within five
yards of where the ball struck. The
Saints were caught offside and after
going back fifteen yards high school
sent Wingett through the opponents
center for a gain of fifteen yards.
Wingett made two more yards on the
same play. High school punted to the
Saints 10-yard line, where Sroney
fumbled and fell on the ball. Time
was called here by high school, as
Giessler was injured.
The Saints punted, the ball was
caught by Giessler, who made the first
long run of the game, consisting of
forty yards, which brought the ball
to the Saints 35-yard line. This was
followed by fake kick and a forward
pass, which failed, and lost the ball
for high school. Huppert punted
O.. 49, tl,o
ball, after tumble, and made twenty
yards before being crowded out of
bounds by the Saints ends. The ball
was brought in fifteen yards and high
school made five yards through the
Saints left end. Wingett received the
