HITCHCOCK WORTHY
OPPONENT OF LICK
Two EIeVens Should Play a
Much More Interesting Game
Than Against Alameda

The football elevens of the California
School OF Mechanical Arts Of this city
and the Hitchcock military academy
Of San Rafael will meet at 2:So o'clock
this afternoon on the Presidio athletic
association grounds for the champion
ship OF the Academic athletic league.
The Union street cars pass the
grounds, which are on Baker street
near Greenwich. The league officials
have requested the railroad company
to run extra cars, in order that there
will be no delay in handling the
crowds
The controversy that has been agi-
tating the students of the Alameda
high school. Hitchcock military acad-
emy and Lick school as to just when
the final game will be played and by
whom will in no way interfere with
today's game, which will be played
rain or shine.
Alameda is undoubtedly the best
team of the three. Early in the sea-
son the Encinal City boys defeated
Hitchcock 21 to 0, and had they met
again there undoubtedly would have
been repetition OF the score. During
the Alameda-Belmont game last Sat-
urday the coach of the Hitchcock
team made the statement that his team
did not care to play Alameda on ac-
count OF the latter's strength. Ala
trip to Fresno today, return tomorrow
and play Hitchcock on Saturday. but
the latter school would not agree to
the proposition. Alameda has pro-
tested the game, with a document
signed by Captain Ming Bruzzone and
Principal Thompson, claiming that.

giving had not been set as the date
for the final game at the semiannual
meeting of the league, which Is re-
quired by the constitution. e. K. Tay-
lor, prominent Alamedan, has Of
fered to donate a handsome silver cup
as trophy for game between Hitch
cock and Alameda, the game to be
played any time within the next
month.
The game today between Lick and
Hitchcock will be a far better and
more even contest than If Alameda
had played the San Rafael team, for
the two contenders are apparently
well matched. Hitchcock has scored a
2 to 0 victory over Lick, which gives
an idea as to how the schools stand.
The weight of the two teams is nearly
equal, Hitchcock having slight ad-
vantage.
1t is difficult to compare the individ-
ual players. For the local eleven
Artie Wynne stands above the others,
being a good reliable player who al
ways uses good headwork Al Wet
more, at quarter back, should be on a
par with Bishop, while both Gill and
Bates. the backs of the San Rafael
eleven, are hard playing and fast men.
Heastand is another star on the team
from across the bay and his work on
Polytechnic in last years final game
is well remembered.
Both teams will have their rooters
on hand. George Degoyler waving the
blue and white of Hitchcock and
Water Leigh leading the black and
gold rooteRs.
William T. Reid Jr. of Belmont mil
itary academy will offlciate as referee,
George Incell of the Century athletic
club as umpire, and Professor Meyers
of Mt. Tamalpais military academy as
field judge. Walter Christy, the Uni
versity of California trainer, will be
head linesman. The regulation quar-
ters will be played.
