WI ITH every school of Importance
wv I'm Southern California which
has football team battling on
a gridiron today for football honors,
the season is well under way. Already
some of the schools are well into their
schedules. having disposed of many of
the minor games. The stronger teams
are now nearing a crisis in their sea-
son when victory or defeat means
everything to the eleven.
The hardest fought contest today
should be the Los Angeles high and st.
Vincent game at Fiesta park. Al
though today's game will be the first Of
the season for the Saints, Coach Hem
pei is confident that his last year cham
pions will win easily from their lighter
opponents. On the other hand, the
members of the high school team have
been saying little or nothing regarding
their chances OF a victory, as they have
thought 1t better to put all their ener-
gies into the game today in an attempt
to spring q few surprises on the wearers
of the Orange and White. Excitement
among the students of both schools
last night was tense. and much time
was given to rehearsing the songs and
yells which will be used at the game
today.
The ST. Vincent boys yesterday pur-
chased over 100 white rooter's caps,
adorned with an orange colored band.
The high school boys will wear white
caps adorned with a blue band and
will have 200 megaphones to assist
them in cheering their warriors toward
a touchdown or anything else that Will
help send the ball over the opponents
eth The best of feeling exists between
the members of both schools, and what
the public will witness this afternoon
in the matter of school spirit Will be
the same kind Of stuff that makes the
eastern football games SO interesting.
More tickets have been sold for to-
days game among the students and
their friends than have ever before
been sold for football game in whicn
the high school team participated.
which In a measure shows the interest
which is being manifested.
The time OF the halves will be tWen-
ty-five and twenty minutes, with a
fifteen minute interval. Bob Chisholm,
former captain OF the Pomona football
team, will referee, Casey Rook of STAN
ford university will umpire, and Leslie
Henry will officiate as head linesrnan,
with Wallace Robb as timer.
The work at Fiesta park yesterday,
where the high school team Is training,
was light, consisting of light signal
drill and a run up and down the feld.
Cass will start the game as quarter
back, and in case he is injured Coach
Noble will send Diecus In to pilot the
team and Boyle to substitute as right
end. Geissler will do the punting, with
Diecus doing the place kicking. The
main lineup will be the same as went
against the u. s. c. eleven last Satur-
day.
The Saints team is reported to be in
good condition, with most of the regu-
lar varsity men in the lineup. The
quarter back position will be a hard
one to fill. and until a late hour last
night Coach Hempel had not selected
the man who will manage the Saints
eleven. Moats or Ybarrondo will be
started in the game, the other players
not used will be held in reserve. Inc
latter quarter has been showing rare
form ali week, and 1t Is not at all un-
likely that ne will be the one selected
to lead the Orange and White team.
The lineups of the teams will be as
follows:
