sagebrush stronghold for the annual
freshman game Saturday. and that the
Claremonter varsity would come to Oc-
cidental for the annual Intercollegiate
game Monday, November 20, instead OF
playing at Claremont as planned fol
November q.
The latter change comes from desire
on the part of the Congregational trus-
tees to spend the day in merrymaking
in the dedication of three new college
buildings, and they feel that football
game would draw the crowd from their
show. AS Monday is the regular cac-
tus-climber holiday, the students will
journey en- masse to Highland Park on
that date, and the Presbyterians also
will be given a holiday for the game.
AS a consequence, rather than nave
both games in the city, the mimic foot
ball between the two bottle brlgadeS
will take place at Claremont, running
as a preliminary to the Pomona-Santa
Ana high school game.
Occidental again will send forth three
teams Saturday to bring home laurels
for the Orange and Black, the "Oxy"
freshies meeting the Pomona first year
men, the preps playing Throop and the
varsity engaging in a practice game
with the u. S. c. law school team.
The main event of the day will be the
Pomona Occidental interfreshman con
test. Both baby teams have been
training faithfully, and although
both have made poor showings in their
previous games, they will be evenly
matched and the first real college foot
ball will be on tap Saturday. Both
teams were beaten by the sophomore
teams of their respective colleges, and
the Presbyterian infants were almost
disgraced by their recent defeat by
Hollywood, but this week Coach Cor
don expects to put them through a
special course of sprouts that should
drill a little football into them.
The preps will try their wings again
after their defeat at the hands of Santa
Ana, and will go to Pasadena to meet
the Polytechnic boys of the crown
City, where they have hopes of making
a better showing, as hard work every
afternoon this week will be the daily
football menu for the academies. Nc
Neary promises to be the star of this
years prep eleven and is putting up a
classy game at tackle. Clifford, Moore
and Bradbeer are the steadies in the
back field, while Underhill, Kellogg
and Church are fighting for the end po-
sitions. Lane is doing excellent work
at center and has for guards Driscoll,
Clayton and Gilkie. Walters is putting
up a fast game at right tackle.
only prospect Manager Goodell
has for a practice match, and the
two elevens probably will play on
the Garvanza field. Landreth was
the only man injured in the
Whittier game, and will be back in
the game Saturday. Coach Gorton is
rubbing it into the Oxy bunch this
week for their poor showing against
Whittier and is working hard to get
1t, fr1fn Gh IA
Indian game, October II, which will be
the hardest of the season. AS soon as
the freshie game is over Fish will be
placed on the first squad to sub for
Thompson, the giant full back, in case
the latter is injured, as he is suffering
from a broken ear drum which is apt
to prove his hoodoo at any time, and
he may be used at end.
The Occidental gridiron is a scene OF
activity every evening, with three full
elevens out on the field and several
substitutes for each team. The Pres
byterians certainly are getting their
moneys worth out of Gorton, having
him at work training three teams with
out a helper Wilson, the Yale grad
who has consented to help out on the
preplets, is able to show up only twice
a week. so that the burden OF the WORK
rests on Gorton.
Coach Frank Boren of Harvard
school picked the team yesterday which
will represent the military academy in
their first game at Hollywood Satur-
ray, and the chances are that this
same lineup will hold good throughout
the season, which will close Thanksgiv-
ing day.
Robb will do the passing from the
wing position, with Ringe and Crepe on
his sides as right and left guards, re-
spectively Heath has right tackle
cinched, but for the other tackle po-
sition the coach is undecided and like
ly will give Whitcomb and Patterson
chance to make good in the coming
game Both have shown class i'm prac-
tice. but if WhitcOmb can hold it down
Patterson may be used in the back
field, where he has shown great apti-
tude for long runs and speedy bucks
Rogers, the new man from GOldfield
and Syse, of last years team are fix
lures on the ends and display great
! Celerity in getting down the field or
punts. Thorpe has reconsidered his
determination to quit the game, anC
has returned for the football season fol
! the glary of the soldiers, to play quar-
| ter, as the team would have beer
| broken up without him. Capt. DaVids
will play right half, with Beach at full
while the other half is to be filled by
Levy in case Patterson is used al
| tackle
Coach Boren has filled his entire
schedule and has every Saturday filled
| from now until Thanksgiving. A pos
sibility is that the "OXy' preps will bt
played in the middle of the week, while
| a post-season game may be negotiated
with the Pomona academies. The
schedule:
October 1O--Hollywood high school
at Hollywood.
October 17-San Diego high school
at Harvard.
October 24-Throop at Harvard.
October 31-San Diego high school
at San Diego.
November 7-Long Beach high school
at Harvard.
November 14-Pasadena high school
at Pasadena.
November 26-Santa Ana high school
at Santa Ana.
Coach Hempel of st. Vincent is look
ing for a game for next Saturday tc
give his men some sort of practice on
the defense, before the game with No
bIe's high school team on October H.
The second team is all right for giving
the varsity offensive practice, but the
Saints gain little on the defensive, as
the scrubs line bucks and end runs are
nipped i'm the bud by the first teams
linemen. Scrimmage will be the fea-
ture of practice from now on in the
