countlessl would tend 10 have the same
impression as seeing "a baseball game
played for the first time. 1t looks
easy; anybody could play that game. y
BIT the more they come to understand
the plays and the difficulties overcome
in executing them, the more their IN
terest grows till, like in baseball, it
becomes infatuation.
Until very recent times the only soc
Ger games played in America TO any
extent have been by teams composed
of old time players from the British
isles and Canada, who have had the
game bred in them. you might say
from having played it from their early
youth up American public schools are
beginning TO adopt the game quite eX-
tensively. and when this becomes gem
eral soccer football will soon become
one of our leading athletic games. for
once having learned the game means to
always enjoy playing it or to see 1t
played.
Soccer is a good. clean, manly game;
every play is open and can be appre-
ciated bv the spectators. The chances
of being hurt are practically nil COM
pared with other styles Of football. The
worst a player usually has to fear Is
a strained tendon from lack of prac-
tice or a good kick on the Sims, which,
although somewhat painful at the time,
is not lasting And yet the game is
not without its critical and exciting
plays. Individual plays are a feature
of the game and every player has plen-
ty of chances TO distinguish himself.
To attend game of soccer is to be-
come interested, and to become inter-
ested is to help establish and to main
tain one Of the most manly, cleaS md
scientific sports of this or any other
country.
The most necessary points to this
end therefore are its Introduction into
our public schools, So that the players
may grow up in the game, and the
whole-souled support of our athletic,
sport loving nation.
Los Angeles has at present three
soccer teams. which play the game in
an up-to-date manner. San Francisco
also has several teams, and match
games between the two cities are in a
fair way to be arranged

Director of Youn Women's Aeerega-
ton Is Excel lent Forward and
Is Impartial in Her
Decisions

Miss Clarabella Rogers manager of
the High Schoo Girls BasketDal
Ieague is oae of 'ihe best forwards in
the league and at the present time she
holds down that position ON the Los
Angeles high schot six. Miss rogers
is fast woman an her feet and an
excellent basket lnrOWer and mas
gained a remarkable reputation Tor the
short time in which she has taken part
in the game eight cen field goals in
three games ia which she has played
being credited TO her.
As director of the League Miss Rogers
is fair and impartial in all her de-
cisions and is well liked in basketball
circles In the few years as a high
school student she has developed fast
aggregation and she anticipates again
capturing the league pennant this
season.
Miss Rogers devotes most of her
leisure time to practice on private
courts, INDUCING in the fine points Of
the game with other companions, and
she expects to make the first team at
either Stanford or Berkeley next year.
Miss Rogers most of the time makes
the first basket on her opponents by
trick plays. by passing the ball to an
associate while near the goal, and gets
away with the play.
There are several other fast players
at the hilltop institution, all striving
for the honor of bringing home the
pennant, and they are making a much
better showing than their brothers in
the boys tournament.

The team from Pasadena represents
some of the best players in the south

is being put forth by the Redlands con-
tingent for a repetition of the score of

their trip here, but Redlands was con-

Pasadena later in the season.

That there viii be at least twenty
five runners who viii participate in the
Marathon race which will be run from
Los Angeles TO Venice New Years day,
under the auspices of the Los Angeles

SOCCER SAID TO BE
INTERESTING SPORT
Claims Are Made That 1t Is Less
Brutal Than Other Similar Con-
tests and More scien-
tific

The game Of soccer football Qnter-
national association is fast becoming
a prominent factor among American
athletic games.
1t is today the national game of the
British empire, as baseball is the ma
tional game of America. Without
doubt it stands for the correct inter-
probation of the word football and is
by far the most scientific of the sew
eral football games played. Like in
baNeball it takes years of practice for
a player to become an expert
Ar Intercollegiate american rugby
team can be whipped into shape with
six v eeks or two months practice, with
practically no member of the team
except. the coach having any previous
knowledge of the game in the way Of
actual playing, their greatest re-
quiremsnt being might and strength
with the exception of three or four
position 5, where ability and an under
standing of how to pitch a bail are
additional requirements. Individual
plays re not encouraged greatly
as two members of the team usually
do all the kicking chat is. kicking the
bald there is done in a game and
some teanQs have only one man who
can kick with any degree of ac-
curacy. It. then falls to his lucky lot
to kick all the punts, place kicks and
goals feQul Jed.
sNOt so with a soccer team. Every
player is re quired to kick the ball and
in an expert manner from any posi-
ton in which it might be placed and
with precision as TO direction and dis
tance. There is no such thing as
touching the bail with the hands or
arms at any time while the ball is in
play except in the case of the goal
keeper, the only player entitled to that
privilege. Strength and weight are
not necessary requirements, but speed
in running, a glity. a sure eye 10 judge

quirements without which a person is
not a player and only long practice

sary requisites
Soccer football is far more interest

any of the other football games after
enough understanding of the game has
been acquired to appreciate the tech

ST. VINCENT HAS
GOOD MATERIAL
BASEBALL CANDIDATES PROM
Use STRONG CLUB
VARSITY TEAM TO BE PICKED
AFTER HOLIDAYS
Manager stoney in Communication
with Several Universities, and
Excellent Matches Are Ex-
pected to Be Made

Preliminary practice by candidates
for the st. Vincenfs college baseball
team in the past week has given Coach
NIoores a line on his material Imme-
diately after the holidays Moores win
pick his team and put it in shape for a
hard season.
Manager Stoney is corresponding
with several university teams and eX-
uects To take his nine on an extended
trip before the end Of the season. Last
season the Saints played four games
each with both STANFORD and Berkeley.
four at the local grounds and two at
each of the northern diamonds, taking
one game from stanford and three
from Berkeley
Stoney has games with the above
teams ali but cnChed and expects to
take in Santa Clara and ST. Mary's col
leges ON the northern trip. He is also
trying 10 schedule games with the Uni
Versity of Utah, Utah Agricultural col
lege and the University of Denver, who
have been induced To come to Los An
ge1es by st. Nincent's during the last
two years. If these games can be ar
ranged the Saints will go direct from
san Francisco on their Utah and Colo
RADIO trip, thence returning to Los An
geles.
From present indications, st. Vim
cents will have an unusually strong
team.
Grindle and OConnor, two of the
fastest amateur catchers of the south,
are struggling for the backstop posi-
ton. while Buckles, the Pomona high
school pitcher, who pitched his team
into the Southern California champion
shin last year; <erfoot OF the last
years varsity squad. and F. Couts, who
twirled The st. Nincents preparatory
team to victory in sixteen of seventeen
games played last season, will form one
Of the strongest pitching staffs ever de-
Veloped by a Southern California col
lege.
One Of the prettiest struggles being
Waged for a position ON the team is at
first base, for which post Workman and
Kennedy are opposing each other Both
men are heavy stickers and excellent
fielders. so about the only solution for
the problem facing the coach will be to
put Workman at first and send Ken
nedy to the outfield where he is as
handy as on the initial sack.
Capt Ybarrondo has short stop
cinched but who the second and third
sackers will be is a puzzing question:
as several good men are trying out for
both positions. Moores will have no
difficulty in the outfield, for besides
Kennedy, plenty of good material is on
hand.
Who will coach the preparatory team
has not been decided. Whoever takes
charge of the team will find several
members of last seasons team avail
able and should have no difficulty in
putting out as strong a team as was
developed last year under Moores.
A third team is also going to be put
out by st. Vincents this year, so that
those who fail to make either the var
sity or prep teams will be sent up
against the second teams of the neigh
boring high schools.
