1t is not an uninteresting question tc

and behavior of the average public towards
that very considerable constituency we tech

the human race. The sense of what another
thinks of ones self, wat the other expects
and looks for, and the social bearing one
cultivates each towards the other, has really

SAINTS BEGIN
FALL PRACTICE
COACH HEMPEL STARTS BALL
TO ROLLING
Games Will Begin October II, When
ST. Vincent Meets Los Angeles
High-coiorad and Utah
Also Scheduled

With most of his old veterans in the
harness and several others as promis-
ing additions TO his gridiron forces,
Coach Hempel started the football roll
ing out at st. Vincent's yesterday aft
ernoon. The Saints first game will be
with Los Angeles high school October
II. Other games have been arranged
with the Colorado School OF Mines al
Golden and the Utah School of Agri-
culture. The Saints will meet the Sher-
man Indians on Thanksgiving day al
Fiesta park.
Grand Rapids high school has con-
tributed two players of class in Nose,
who win understudy; De Ybarrando al
quarterback and Thompson, who is
billed for a guard position.
Hempel has drawn on Pomona high
for three players Of proved ability In
Casey, Buckles and West. Casey Is a
brother of the noted halfback and will
try out for guard. Buckles, who holds
the Southern California record in the
shotput, will go in for guard, while
West expects to be placed at the oppo-
site end from Grindell, who will cap
tain the eleven. Stoney, the former
Throop athlete of Pasadena, and Tor
tes, a reformed Sherman brave of Riv-
erside, the only new lights in the back
field, will compete for positions with
Calf, Cunningham and Casey OF last
years squad.
Huppert is another aspirant for hon.
ors at quarterback, and Dingman, who
halls from the Colorado School OF
Mines, is going out for end. Rhein-
schild and Leffert, the veteran tackles
likely will crowd out any upstarts who
dare to try out.
In Buckles, Murray, Casey and Roach
Hempel will have a good supply OF
guards to pick from. Roach is a new
man at the Grand avenue school, but
promises to make good. From the pres
ent outlook Stewart Is the likely boy
at center, as no other promising can
didate has showed up.
The squad was busy all yesterday
being measured for union suits, which
the Vincentians will use exclusively
this year in their varsity work. Suits
were ordered for fifteen, including al
the men of last years team and those
who seem most likely to make goot
this year.

SPORTSMEN RETURN
FROM VACATION TRIP
Report Great Sport Fishing and Hunt
ing While Away--caught Many
Fish and Shot Game to
the Limit

One of the most successful hunting
trips of the season was that made by
a group OF. Los Angeles sportsmen who
invaded the mysteries of the deep and
the Wiids of a desert island for a pc
riod extending about ten days In this
adventurous group we're Edward A.
Salisbury, Howard Salisbury, Al Sails
b ", Ben Warrington, Lazarus Lipp-
man and M. II. Robinson.
This party left San Pedro in the pow
er boat Peerless and headed for Ana
kappa island. After touching at that
island they went to Santa Cruz and
pitched camp for many days. Here
they enjoyed all that sportsman and
hunter could ask In the line OF hunting
and fishing The game consisted OF
doves, wild boar, mountain sheep ana
mountain goat. With the rod they
caught plenty Of Spanish mackerel,
barracuda, bass and yellowtail.
Each of the party held an honorary
position on sea and land. Ben Wat
lington was assistant cook, Howard
Salisburv was chief engineer, Lazarus
claimed the office OF skipper, while I'D
Salisbury, ON board the. ship, acted
as mutiny queller and on shore was
saluted as game warden. Robinson
was obliged to wash all dishes, which
he did tolerably well. He also acted
as commissariat and kept the camp
supplied with fresh meat One OF the
rules that received the especial atten-
tion Of most of the boys was that there
should be no lighting among brothers.
