strength in the back field Holliste'
graduated from Santa Barbara more
than year ago. and has since been
working. The addition of this player
will mean that not only has the great
Presbyterian institution acquired
football player of merit, but will have
man who later in the season should
easily prove to be point winner in
the shot puts and hammer throw.
Much qualification has been eX
pressed by the lovers of the American
game over yesterdays action Of the
trustee board of the Hollywood Union
High school. when they decided to sub
NIT the question as to whether the
Rugby or American games should be
played to the discretion Of the players
parents This will probably mean that
the American game will again be in
order at Hollywood and that the Har-
ward Military school will follow Holly
woods lead.
American Game for Hollywood
Wilford Taylor and Arthur Priester
addressed the trustees at Hollywood
yesterday. and both strongly advocat-
ed the American game. Statistics were
brought to bear, and Priester exhibited
a petition signed by nine of the ten
boys parents who will probably be in
the lineup advocating the American
game. Julian Temple and Herman AL
Der also spoke in favor of the Ameri-
can game. ]. B. Murphy advocated the
adoption of the Rugby game and was
seconded by DR.. William H. Snyder,
who spoke of the action of Stanford
and Berkeley universities and submit
ted statistics showing the deaths and
injuries of the Rugby game to be fewer
in proportion than those caused by the
American style of Dlay.
The prospects of the Hollywood high
school are much better than last year,
some strong material being available
from last seasons second team. George
Linton, who formerly starred with the
Kansas high school, will likely be
given a place on the line, and is tout
ed as being a really first class full
back. Arthur Priester, Harlan Lewis
Wilford Taylor Douglas Malin, Charles
Peters and Linton Smith will form the
nucleus of the seasons eleven, all of
these players having won their laurels
with last years squad.
Outlook Bright at Pasadena
At Pasadena football enthusiasts are
congratulating each other over the bail
prospects, although several of last sea-
sons stars may be absent. Coach Will
son is, however, enthusiasm personified,
itself are worried over the report that
Herman Seifert, who was a tower of
strength in the line last year, is not to
be with the team this year, but will go
north. Sefert himself declares this
as his intention, but his associates are
trying to induce him to remain. OF the
old team, only the two McDonalds, to-
gether with Glass and Jocomini are
left as nucleus around which to shape
an eleven, and, while there are soma
promising candidates among the new
men, the loss of so many of the old
players will be seriously felt in the pre-
liminary games of the season. Manag-
er Loughery is having a hard time
getting games for the early part of the
season, as the county managers are
behind time in getting their teams
together. There is a rumor that some
of the Harvard Military school players
are to enter Pasadena high this fall,
but their names are not known.
Schedules Not Known
With the exception of the fall
schedule Of the University of South
ern California law school, which was
recently published in The Herald, but
few of the seasons games and dates
have as yet become known. Occidental
udS dIEdIl5et loT SdIl0S VIII L. . y"
St Vincents, Pomona and Whittier
but no dates have been agreed upon.
st. Vincents will play the Utah Ag-
ricultural college October 81. the Uni
versity of Arizona November 12 the
law school on Thanksgiving day and
the Sherman Indians on Christmas.
Ned Cheeley will be seen on the Saints
lineup and will greatly strengthen the
eleven at either half or end.
Word has been received from Ralph
Noble and Ted Geissler, who are study
ing the Rugby game at Berkeley, and
both men express unbounded enthusl-
asm over the English game. Geissler
is in the practice scrimmage every day
at the northern university and will
undoubtedly be one of the mainstays
Of the Los Angeles high schools fifteen
curing the fall season.
