Fine Opportunity for Com
pariSon of Styles

The interest centering around the
football carnival which will be held
next Monday on Bovard field is fast
increasing and every day as the eight
teams go through their workouts on
the respective fields there is a large
gathering of fans present discussing
the merits and demerits of the game,
then they up and HE themselves to
another field where some other brand
of the pigskin pastime is being played
and lengthy arguments follow as to
which is the best game and why. They
all know -rhich, but very few are able
to clearly state why.
One spectator started an awful con-
troversy yesterday by saying that he
thought soccer was the only football
because the players used their feet.
This statement started some gabfest.
However, all the fans will have n
chance to express their opinions at the
game, as attached to the tickets is a
ballot where the rooter may cast his
vote for his favorite sport and count
will be taken after the game and the
result published on the following morn
ing.
All the teams which are scheduled to enter
this football fest not only anxious TO
demonstrate that their particular style of
pigskin game is far superior to any other
the field, but the teams have been paired
off so an element of keen rivalry will enter
and victory viii mean a lot to the squad on
the long end of the final count
Take, for instance. the soccer game which
will be PLAYED between the Rangers and
Thistles Of the Southern California Soccer
league. Either aggregation would be JOYFUL
II they could put one over their opponents
Monday, as they will have chance to play
their favorite sport before one of the largest
crowds which witnessed soccer game
in the south. Another thing about these Draw
men who will give an exhibition Of the good
old time sport from across te water; they
are the best teams in the league, and there
IS keen rivalry to the snarng of goats
on each crew. This bunch of Scotchmen have
only registered kick far, and that is
they don't think they going to have suf
hcient time to fully mix things as they should
he on the field. The public is sure to get a
fast run for its money in the opening game.
The Rugby teams picked from Poly high
and Los Angeles high are practicing their
respective grounds every night, as they arc
not overlooking any chances. Although this
game has nothing whatever to do with the
campionship, the usual spirit OF rivalry be-
tween the two schools is as keen as ever, and
as there is in addition a tri1e of a puRnacious
spirit due TO the calling off of the previous
game scheduled between teams from the in
stitutions. the game promises to be the hot |
test Rugby struggle that the local gridron
has ever seen.
The Poly BOYS are out "after L. A. IS goat
because they consider that the hill top boys
were afraid to meet them the time before
and the L. A. players are equally anxious to
mix, not only on account of Poly's demon |
previous
called off, but because they say they want
10 show that they are not and never were
afflicted with "cold feet"
st. Vincent's and the Sherman Indians have
had an old standing grudge ever since the |
Indians won the last game played between |
the two which resulted in very close score, |
SO they ought TO dig pretty good sized holes |
in the ground in getting at each other.
TIE Southern California Athletic club team
Is composed almost entirely of members OF |
the L. of S. c. prep team which was beaten !
by the Throop aggregation by the tune OF
3 to o. but which also tied with the Pasadena
bows and two other teams for the Southern
California championship.
Although this Christmas mixup will not
alter te present four-cornered tie. this will
undoubtedly be one of the hardest fought
games of te day, because the local boys think
that there only beaten by Throop by bad
luck. and expect to slip one over on their
OPPONENTS who are equally vociferous in say
ing that they won by superior work and viii
show that the whtewashns they administered |
was not by fate.
