ST. Vincents, SO; San Diego High, o

If any one were rash enough to
venture the suggestion that football
was a game in which the stronger
heavier and more rugged team comes
away victorious, yesterday afternoon
exhibition at Fiesta park would prove
the falsity of the assertion. When the
san Diego and st. Vincent's elevens
lined up on the field preparatory to
the kick off, it appeared as though
either might win. In weight the men
were evenly matched.
But after the first touchdown had
been scored by the Saints the game
assumed such a one-sided aspect as
to be uninteresting. With the first hall
ending in a "a to 0 score in favor of
the local team, the final whistle blew
with SO points piled up against the
San Diego eleven, the largest score OF
the season. Throughout the entire
contest the Grand avenue goal was
never once in danger.
Forward Pass Used
Line bucks scored the greater num-
Der of gains for the winners, although
end runs and the forward pass were
both used with telling effect. Tortez
played wonderful game at end and
proved himself without a doubt one of
the fastest and most reliable men for
that position now playing in the south.

San Diego received the first kick off
but gained little, the oval quickly
going into the Saints possession. One
had almost to run down the sidelines
in order to keep pace with the ball
after the husky local team had got
well under way for the opposing goal
Repeat this at intervals of every five
minutes and you have the story of the
game. When San Diego did get the
ball, which occurred on a tumble occa-
sionally, they were unable to even
wabble the Saints line.
Saints Showing
Coach Walter Rheinschild's counte-
nance wore a smile as eXpanSive-well,
as expansive as any smile could be,
when his huskies trotted from the field
at the end of the latter half. And well
he might.
Two weeks ago ST. Vincent's brought
the San Diego eleven into camp at the
beach city on the diminutive end of a
20 to 0 argument Yesterdays score
illustrates the improvement made
within the past few weeks. Nearly
every man who entertains hopes of
being seen with the Saints at any time
during the present aason was given
a chance yesterday. Ybarrando, the
crack quarter was tried out at half,
many other substitutions were made
and at one time but ten players were
used against the visitors.
The original plan of having the
Saints play a fresh team in the second
half had to be be given up, owing to
the lack of another victim. Condell,
Canepa, Howard, Schaefer and Robert
son were all let into the game during
the latter half and succeeded in maxi
ing as great Roadway as the regulars.
The original lineups were as follows
