NINTH STREET WINS
ITS THIRD VICTORY
DEFEATS THlRTlETH STREET
CLUB BY 10 TO5
Game Is of Rough Character-Left
Tackle Sustains Fractured Nose
and Left Guard sprains
His Knee
BY RED PERKINS

The Ninth street football eleven won
their third. game this year yesterday
afternoon by defeating the Thirtieth
street club on the st. Vincent gridiron
by the score of 10 to 5. The game was
of a rough house nature, and during
the first half Left Tackle Hyder of
Thirtieth street received a fractured
nose, coming in contact with another
players foot at the first kickoff of the
game ON the Thirtieth streets 15-yard
line. Hyder was picked UP by his COM
panions and removed in an auto to a
doctors office nearby, where the bone
was reset.
Left Guard Witherow's knee was
painfully sprained but he stayed in the
game.
The contest was marred by many
fumbies on the Ninth street side, and
the forward pass was used twice but
to no avail. Quarterback Caff of the
Thirtieth street team made good on
side kicks, while the heavy bucking of
Zacher and Clark of the Ninth was
mainl. responsible for the winners
victory. Heskets fine punting for the
losers kept the score down. He is one
of the best junior punters now playing
in Southern California and weighs in
the neighborhood of 1876 pounds.
Thirtieth streets touchdown came in
the last ten seconds of the first half,
on the fine end run of Red Miller on
the 4o-yard line, but they failed to kick
goal. The Ninth street eleven scored
their touchdown ON Capt. Clark's fine
bucks. zacher's and Hughes interfer-
ence was of a classy order.
The Ninth street eleven have a
scheduled game with the Christ church
cadets next Friday on their gridiron.
Waters at center yesterday was good
in breaking up line bucks, and Walker
at left tackle is game player and took
desperate chances In taclling, several
times nearly going on the hospital list.
Clark, captain and halfback, is good
on end runs. Last year he was MEM
Der of the Violet street playground
eleven and was considered one of the
fastest ends in Southern California.
Zacher fullback, is good on long runs.
Pohle is good as a tackler and also
clever with the forward pass. Rosen-
blum at quarter is fast and good on
punts, his only drawback being that
he is light, tipping the scales at 80
pounds.
Campbell at right guard will be a
valuable man as soon as he adopts the
rules a little more and learns to play
lower. Kyle at left end is the surest
man with the forward pass, seldom
missing the ball when he once gets his
hands on it. Costa and Witherow will
be faster when IIley get little more
experience and Martin at quarter is a
good man on deciding plays, but not
efficient at tackling, Following were
the lineups:
