SCHOOL
Rugby at BoVard Field When L. A..
High Meets San 5ernardlno.
Cromwelrs Eleven VIII
Play Whittier

When the results of todays football
games are reckoned up, coaches, man
ayers and enthusiasts over both Amer
lean and Rugby will be able to form
an approximately correct estimate of
the merits of the various teams. The
contests of Saturday, october 3, prac-
tically were the first scheduled games
played, and when today's scores are
known it will be readily seen which
teams will be the more likely candi-
dates for the championship.
The banner contest of the day will
be held at Fiesta park, when the U. S.
c. law school will meet the last eleven
from Occidental Both squads won
their games of a week ago by one
sided scores and both managers are
confident of anneXing this afternoons
exhibition. While the law school did
not make a championship showing last
season, the result of the game with
Whittier college and the presence of
many star players on the lineup will
send the team onto the field slight fa-
Vorites over their Highland park op-
pOnents.
Oxy Is Confident
On the other hand, Occidental will
enter the fray represented by one of
the strongest elevens which has ever
worn the colors of the Presbyterian in
stitution. Captain Collins and Head
Coach Gorton are both exceedingly
optimistic over the probable result and
believe that their eleven will come
away several goals to the good. Smart
will be seen at tackle, while both Du-
Bois and Baer will be used at quarter.
Patterson will be unable to play owing
to injuries received in the game with
the Azusa Athletic club. For the backs
the two Weiman brothers and Captain
Collins will strive to bore through the
holes opened for them by a heavy line
There will be no other American games
of Importance played in Los Angeles.
Dean Cromwell will take his eleven,
the same team which rolled up a score
of So to against California Poly to
Whittier. There the U. S. c. boys will
make every effort to roll up an even
larger score against the Quakers than
the law school was able to accomplish
Saturday.
Pomona VS.. Long Beach
Pomona college will send the football
eleven of that institution to Long
Beach in what really amounts to a
practice game for the valley players.
Santa Ana walloped the Pomona squad
in an early practice game of last sea-
son and today the Sagebrushers prom
Use to have revenge. A big rally was
held last night at the college and a
band is being drilled which will ac-
company the rooters.
Several changes have been made in
the Pomona lineup, largely with a view
to adding weight to the eleven. Nye
will play end today, while Kinsey will
hold forth at left guard. Both are
new men. The lineup in full will be as
follows:
Right end, Nye; right tackle, KEEP
ner; right guard, Hentschke; center,
A. r. Davis; left guard, Kinsey; left
tackle, Captain Fuller; left end, w,
Crawford; quarterback, Vaile; right
half Shut; left half, Parker; fullback,
Miller; Jennings and H. Davis will be
given a chance at end, while D. Craw-
ford probably will be put in on the
line, with Gillette at center Becker,
Carver and Haskins form the second
set of backs and will be used during
the game.
Rugby at Bovard
Rugby enthusiasts will again have
an opportunity to witness Mobiles un-
defeated L. A. high fifteen In action
when they meet the San Bernardino
huskies at Bovard field. Although the
locals are generally conceded a victory
over the visitors, it is more than likely
that they win be forced to extend
themselves to win. An additional
weeks practice has given the boys a
much needed improvement and a clean
cut, open game is looked forward to.
In behalf of the English game, 1t may
be truthfully said that its followers
are becoming more and more numerous
as the season progresses. When the
majority of the high schools become
more familiar with the fine points of
the game and get away from the
rougher scrimmage tactics it is safe
bet that there will be no more popular
high school or college game in the
south.
Poly at Berdoo
When the whistle blows for the Los
Angeles high and San Bernardno
teams to play ball at Bovard field the
Poly fifteen and the Redlands aggrega-
tion will be lining up for play at the
grounds of the latter school. Coach
Skinner leaves at o'clock this morn
ing with his unbeaten team. But few
changes have been made in the lineup.
st. Vincents will meet the Fort Rose
Grams eleven at San Diego, playing the
American game. AS Coach Rheinschild
has addN1 several star players to an
already fast lineup the outcome will
be awaited with much interest.
Hollywood high school and the eleven
representing the high school of Whit
tier will clash at Hollywood and an
other stirring gridiron battle should be
the order of the afternoon.
