Occidental, 19; U. S. C. Law, o
After holding the heavy Occidental
/ team down to a zero score in the initial
half of the law school-Occidental game
yesterday at Fiesta park, the Barris-
ters' line gave way in the latter half
before the fierce onslaughts of the
Presbyterian backs, who piled up an IS
to score. A series of fast rushes, re-
lieved now and then by a brilliant end
run, scored two touchdowns for the
visitors, while the last five points were
tailed when Baer carried the pigskin
across the goal line on punt and
tumble.
That the score does not fairly repre-
/ sent the ability of the two teams and
that the game should not count as
scheduled contest is the belief of nearly
every rooter of both institutions who
/ witnessed the game. After the contest
Head Linesman Arden Day and Umpire
Casey Rook admitted that the Occiden-
tai team had been allowed five at
tempts to score seven yards. This was
attributed by the spectators to an over
sight on the part of Referee Draper
who was loudly hissed by the OXy
rooters.
May Protest Game
"Of course" said Coach Sorenson of
the law school, I'VE can't play Occiden-
tai and the referees as we'll When the
boys were scored on unfairly it took
the heart out of them and the last TWO
tallies were easily scored"
Just what action will be taken in re-
gard to the game will not be known
for some time.
Cool cloudy weather made conditions
almost ideal for one of the principal
games of the season, and when the
players trotted out on the gridlron
few minutes after o'clock the law
school on one side and the Highland
Park rooters on the other made the
coliseum echo.
Although marred by many fumbles
and poor plays during the first rev
minutes, the contest was a good ex-
hibition of the American game for SO
early in the season. The orange and
black of Occidental. contrasted with
the blue and gold of the banners on
the Barristers' side of the field, made
a pretty. picture when the elevens lined
up for the kick off at 3:OS.
Played Real Football
As far as real football went there
was plenty of it. Selph, the bright
est star of the Barristers, kicked on
at a few minutes after o'clock to
Drury Weiman, the star half of the
Occidentals. When the dust had
cleared and Weiman had emerged from
the three or four law school huskies
who had tackled him but few yards
had been gained by the Presbyterian
team on the catch. Two more fast
plays and the law school line was
holding the heavy visitors in great
form. A punt which Cohn fumbled
and the few seconds of lost time en-
abled the orange and black to down
the oval we'll within the BarristerS'
territory. Both sides were penalized
early in the game and frequent punt
ing was resorted to by both teams.
Selph again and again punted the ball
well down into the Presbyterians'
grounds. where Tommy Cohn would
as often successfully tackle the op-
posing runner.
field goal attempted by the law
school went wide of the mark, and an
other ten yards were lost, when Dru-y
ploWed through the entire law school
line and tackled McGregor. Up and
down the field the ball was worked.
both fullbacks punting well. Dubois
showed up to advantage during this
period of play and engineered his
backs to the satisfaction of Gorton.
During the last ten minutes Of play in
the first half the oval was in the Bar
risters' territory the greater portion
of the time.
Field Goal Fell Short
field goal attempted by Weiman
and Dubois fell yards short of the up
rights and Selph was enthusiastically
cheered when he piloted the pigskin
down the field for a thirty-yard gain.
The Oxy backs appeared to grow
stronger and more confident as the
game progressed, frequently plowing
through the Barristers line for the re-
quired gain. Although sensational
backfield work was exhibited by So
renson's eleven, the limo showed up to
a decided disadvantage The half end
ed with the ball in the center of the
field.
The law school had been playing
during the first thirty minutes with
the wind at their backs. McGregor
opened the second half by carrying
the ball we'll into the orange and
black territory. Again the Barristers
were penalized for an off-side play,
and Weiman's long punt sent the pig
skin to the losers twenty -five-yard
line. Selph tried an end run, with
! Rouse interfering, and for a minute
had an open field. He was tackled
from the rear, however, after taking a
few strides. and aonther golden op-
portuity was lost. Cohn, who had been
hurt in the first half retired at this
point in favor of Rouse.
Lawyers Forced Down Field
Slowly and surely the law school
was forced down the field. Twenty,
fifteen and now but ten yards lay be-
tween the Presbyterians and the COW
eted goal. Again the ball was punted
out, but the blue and gold tried a sec
ond field goal with success.
Encouraged by the three points
gained, the Presbyterians swept down
the field to within fifteen yards of
the blue and gold uprights. Eight
yards more were gained, and then
the ball for four downs remained prac-
tically stationary. End runs center
rushes and every kind of a criss- cross
which Oxy had been practicing since
the opening of school was tried with
no success. Finally Ink Weiman, with
Drury Weiman and Collins interfer-
ing, wriggled through the mass of
players in front Of him. placing the
ball safely over the chalk line.
Ink failed to kick goal. Within ten
minutes after the first touchdown Oxy
rushed the ball over the line a sec
ond time, Landreth doing the heavy
work Then the law school lost heart
and played listlessly. Again the Bar
risters kicked off, but the Highland
