St Mass college team by points to
g. The game was hummer from start
70 finish. and the latter part OF the
game was the most sensational Rugby
played here this season. Santa Clara
thoroughly deserved the victory won
and the joys Of victory came to the Mis-
sion town team through a piece Of head
work and taking opportunities that has
seldom been eoualed in local Rugby.
The weather was ideal for football.
and the 5000 persons who journeyed
10 California field 70 witness the strug
Ele were amply repaid for their trip.
The game was a small edition of the
big varsity game played on the same
field last week. Each college had its
own roofing section. and bands from
ST. Vincent's college added an extra
touch 70 the surroundings. The rival
veil leaders WED with each other TO
get the most noise out Of their respect

oHcials pranced around the field as II
- weight of responsibility Of the
whole world rested on their shoulders.
Even the water bottle boys had got
touch OF that Importance that made
them imagine the game could not pro-
ceed without their all important seTY-
ices and their never failing bottles.
They tell YOU that those bottles never
contain anything stronger than water,
but the manner in which the players
used them and the quick results at

for the contents contained therein.
REPLETE WITH SENSATIONS
The game was replete with sensa-
rions and the first thrill that went
through the bleaShers was when both
teams were hghting for all they knew
points each. It was then that Starrett
bolted for the line after receiving the
ball from a nice pass, lodged several
of his opponents and got within three
Yards Of the coveted goal line. Then
the unexpected happened and Starrett
and the ball parted company. just how
no one knew. but il lost st. Mary's
sure Try.
shortly after this the Santa Clarans
rushed the bali TO their opponents ter
ritorv and from a ruck surrounded on
all sides by the opposition one OF the
red and white put his foot under the
han and with unerring accuracy il
went swift and true between the goal
posts and added four points to the
santa Clara score.
YBARRANDo Is HERO
When the mass Of players cleared
little Ybarrando. who had been playing
z wonderful game all through. was
recognized as the man who had won
ire game for his team. 1t was a

serum formation was the best In the
early part OF the game the St Mary S
eight man serum secured the ball, but
when the Santa Clarans got warmed up
the Oakland collegians had little
chance TO get the oval from the serum
The santa Clarans hooked the ball out
cIeanly and sent II back to the half
with a zip that at times kept him busy
fielding il properly.
The wing forward, Tramutolo. was
an aggressive man and was round the
serum in jigtime and smothered his
opposing backs when they passed
Time and again. however, he was on
side and the referee penalized him for
a breach which was very aagrant and
repeatedly worked.
BACK DIVISION FAST
The back division Of the Santa
Clarans was fast and full OF fight. They
marked their opponents well and did
not give the tricky st. Mary's backs
~ opportunity TO show their real abil-
frv II was a great fight between the
two back divisions and the battle be-
tween the forwards was equally as in
teresting. The forwards showed con-
siderable aDilLN ana the cl
men on several occasions started
rushes and dribbled with great accu-
rscy and speed.
The honors in the first q half were
very evenly divided and what advar-
tage there was seemed to be in st.
Mary's favor.
The lighting in the second half
showed great determination on the
part Of both teams. The score was
three all up TO the few minutes before
time, when Ybarrando kicked his goal, |
and il looked as if the game was
doomed TO be a tie score The for |
wards made things merry in several
ways and Referee Presley was kept |
busy for some time cautioning players. |
