The Saints took the first football
game of the season from Santa Ana
high school yesterday morning on the
U. S. c. campus, 8 to 0. Owing to the
intense heat, the players became tired,
and in the second half a great deal
of kicking was substituted The high
school eleven made a fair showing
against their superiors in weight, but
they did not show the class that was
put UP by Santa Ana at the close of
last season.
At 1O:30 o'clock st. Vineents' sent
! the pigskin into play, kicking II, to
Santa Ana's twenty five-yard line.
where Santa Ana started the rough
work. By gradual line gains through
center and guard the heavy high sehool
halves and full made steady gains.
Humphries, captain of the Orange
county eleven, occasionally pulling off
five or ten-yard run. ST. Vincent
checked this rush at her forty-fiVe-
yard line on a fumbled forward pass,
where Neighbours kicked the bah to
Santa Ana's fifteen-yard line. In the
scramble in catching the pigskin San
ta Ana recovered on her ten-yard line.
Humphries saved his team by punt
ing to the center of the field. The col
lege boys came back strongly, forcing
the visitors gradually toward their
goal until, on an excellent forward
pass from Ed Murray to Casey. St.
Vineents' reached their opponents
fiveyard line.
In the second down by great line
bucking the college eleven showed
Neighbours over the line for five
points. Neighbours then kicked goal.
Score, to in favor of the Saints.
Humphries kicked off to Neighbours
and the college men again started for
the Santa Ana goal. By hard bucking
and some punting on the part of Hum
phries the high school team was able
to hold the Saints on their own twen-
ty-five-yard line, where the first half
ended
Humphries opened the second half
for his side by a clever kick, and for
a greater part of the time the two
men, Neighbours and Humphries. kept
the ball in midair. The Saints full
was weak in receiving punts, which
gave the visitors a slight advantage
and made them appear stronger in the
second half. Neighbours succeeded in
kicking a twenty-hve-yard field goal,
which added three points to the score.
The remainder Of the half was taken
up with a great deal of punting, in
which the Santa Ana boys had slight
advantage. Score, 8 to 0.
For the visitors, Reeves and Hum
phries We're the stars, and often
brought forth applause from the spec
tators. Gage and Casey of the Saints
put up fast ball and added much to
the strength of their team.
