Game Promises to Be
Best of Season

Final arrangements were made yes
terday afternoon for the football game
to be held at Fiesta park, Christmas
day between the All Star aggregation
picked by Elt Brown and the st. Vim
cent team.
Negotiations have been carried on
between RheinschiId and Brown for
some time, and it was not until yester-
day that the game could be assured.
After trying Tor many weeks TO in
duce an eastern team 10 come here for
a Christmas game without success,
Rheinschiid disbanded the team the
latter part OF last Week. When Brown
arrived from Stanford yesterday and
saw Rheinschlld he decided to get his
men together and train Tor the last
and biggest game OF the season. Ihe
Saints resumed practice yesterday al
ternOon.
For some weeks past the backs OF
the All Star team, Now Mitchell, stan
Mitchell, Louie Cass and Elt Brown,
have been indulging in signal and team
practice with the hopes Of securing
game with the southern team. As all
the men on the All Star team have
been playing Rugby this season they
are in the best condition possible and
get in shape Tor the coming contest
All the men from the north are ex-
pected to reach here rliday morning
and win begin practice Monday after
noon.
Ybarrando, who was suspended from
the amateur ranks some time ago,
has been reinstated and will play
either quarterback or end on the
Saints team. With this exception the
&c in
the recent game with Law School,
All-star Team
Ted Geisller who played end on the
Los Angeles High school team last
year and who has been playing Rugby
this season, again will be seen at his
old position on the northern squad.
Geisller is considered as the best end
in this part of the country. Last year
he was picked for end on the All
Southern team and this year was
picked for the All Southern Rugby
team.
on the other end will be Decius of
L. 5. c., another All Southern team
man. both of last year and this. With
these two men holding down the end
positions, it should be next to impos-
si' le for the Saints to attempt to send
either Tortez, Radir or any other man
around the ends.
Crawford, captain of the Stanford
Rugby team of 1908 and considered as
one of the best all-round athletes and
punters on the coast will play left
tackle.
Next to Crawford will be Malcolm,
the star guard Of L. S. c., whose abil-
ity to hold down this position is un-
questioned He was also picked Tor
the All Southern team
u r1,,. a.l4axr ra.1n ton laa
Hill Top eleven last year and who is
now at Berkeley, will play right
guard. With a trio like Cass, Malcolm
and Silent holding down the middle OF
the line il will be hard to beat
Louis Cass, considered IS the best
quarterback Of many a football season
and who played quarter for Los An
geles high school last year. will again
be at his old position on the All Star
team.
NOV and Stan Mitchell, the two
best and most consistent football play
ers that Southern California ever pro-
duced. will play right and left halves
respectively Before going north to
Stanford, they both played on the high
school team, Stan coaching the team
one season. They were both picked
as All Southern team men.
Elt Brown, captain Of the team, will
play Iull Ddck. ne pldyeu Oh NHe oLdll-
ford rugby team last year and the first
part Of this year, having TO quit on ac-
count of having his ankle broken in
one of the games. Eft declares that he
has recovered entirely from his in
jury and that it viii in no way con-
f1ict with his playing Christmas.
with a team made up of men such
as these and who are every one Of
them a star, the Saints will meet the
strongest and fastest team that could
be picked in the state.
With q good clear day a. week from
Saturday the best exhibition of foot
ball seen here for a long time should
be the result.
