GRIOIRON CONTEST
TO DECIDE TITLE
and Polytechnic High
Schools TO Clash Again at
PresidiO Today

Given reasonably dry day with
little wind, the football enthusiasts
should witness a fast. snappy open
game today when Alameda and Poly
technic clash for the Academic League
championship at the Preside athletic
games.
At the beginning of the present sea-
son Poly had a large percentage of
veterans on he. squad, and although
the red and black had failed to spring
any surprises on her opponents last
season the critics agreed that due to
the weakening of the other San Fran
cisco teams by graduation Poly would
be the probable winner of the city sub
league Pete Smith was obtained as
coach, and the predictions of a success
tul season were verified The Poly
adherentS reJoiced at the triumph over
LICK, and the following week the en-
thuslasm rose with bound with the
victory of PeteS pets over Hitch
cock military academy. After the lat
ter game it was emphatically declared
that Alameda could never withstand
the split bucks. tandem plays and for
ward passes of SmIrh's pupils In the
Hitchcock game Poly had made long
gains outside of tackle, besides using
the outside kick effectively Things
looked decidedly black for the cham
pionship aspirants from across the bay.
Alameda began the season with but
four veterans. The heart of the '0S
championship team had been lost by
graduation. The squad was practically
green, raw material. Brush (of four sea
sons experience at quarter) was gone.
Absence of his experience and general
snip IN pricking the opposing teams
weak spots was keenly felt from the
first. Graff was greatly missed at full.
Since Thanksgiving McAndrews, an
old Dartmouth man, has taken active
charge of the Encinal City players and
Marx has acted as advisor and assis-
tant.
Pete Smith has been aided by
Bishop in coaching the Poly team.
Both teams and coaches have been
WORKING hard TO develop more open
duce some surprises. With Billy Reid
of Harvard a an official there will be
no chance for disputes.
Ralph Marx, an Alameda graduate
as coach. and after many disagree
ments and much hard work the sub
league championship was won by
score of % to 0. A hard struggle with
Stockton in the semifinals followed,
in which the gold and white carried
off the laurels.
The situation when Poly and Ala
media clashed on Thanksgiving was
substantially this. Poly had a vet
eran team which had not tasted de-
Alameda had a slightly heavier but
Inexperienced and erratic team
The results of this game were any
thing but satisfactory for either the
teams or the public. The continual
pickering of players and officials rem
dered the game tiresome.
The fact that the game is a benefit
for the Youths Directory Will undoubt-
edly assist in bringing out a large
crowd to witness the contest. The
