DAY PLAN
PROMISES SUCCESS
Eight Squads Practicing Steadily
for Carnival of Football
Christmas Monday

Eight teams Of football warriors have
signed to play in the Christmas day
carnival of gridiron games at Bovard
field on the Christmas holiday week
| from tomorrow.
Manager "Pat" Wheelan announced
last night that he had lined up the
whole bunch and that everything was
ready. Barring accidents or disputes,
there should be no hitch in proceed
| ings from now on.
Manager Wheelan has had the time
of his life in making things agreeable
for all the teams. With a hundred
men to please and considerable oppo-
sition to overcome from various
sources, he finally got everybody pull
| ing In the right direction and the
matches are on.
In this carnival it Is expected that
| winning any particular game will be
| only incidental and that the big. object
will be to excel in style, and as this
end Is in view the spectators are ex-
pected to have some of the best foot
ball ever played here dished up to
them.
Each team is confident that it's style
will be the be st of the carnival, and
| though the te ms are not all cham
! pions, they represent some of the best
| in the south.
Throop was one Of the four teams to
| tie for first place in the Interscholastic
| league, while it's opponent, the South
ern California Athletic association
! team, practically contains the same
| lineup as the u. s. G. academy, which
was one of the four teams to tie.
The Los Angeles high school rugby
team won the championship of the
state, and a large number of its play
ers are on the team which is picked
| to play the Polytechnic high school
! team. practically the same which held
| Los Angeles even year or two ago.
The Thistles and the Rangers are
| the two best teams in the soccer
| league and are as good, in the opinion
of many, as the best aggregatIons
| around San Francisco. They have met
In number of games this season and
have put up splendid contests.
st. Vincent's and the Sherman In
dians. who are to play the old-style
game of ten years ago. have been
rivals for years in Southern California
football. The last time they played
was when Coach Walter Hempel was
at st. Vincent's and Coach Warner at
Sherman. Hempel coached both teams
in his time, and they were real foot
ball teams. Most of the old fellows
are to be on the two teams in this
L.,
should be students at the school; some
are alumni.
The teams are all to practice the en-
tire week Some have been working
for a week, and all the men are in
good physical condition.
At st. Vincent's George Rheinschild
is captaining the team and is looking
after their physical condition, while
Coach Ralph RAIDER is reminding the
men of the fine points OF the old game
At Sherman, John Gait who has
played on both the Indian and st. Vim
cents teams, is coaching the redskins.
RAIDER is also looking after the S. c.
at Throop, is handling the Pasadena
A. A. squad, while A. c. Pelton, coach
eleven Ralph Noble is looking after
the l.. A. boys and monk" Pierce is
coaching Poly.
With all these men interested 1t is
expected that the games will turn out
good exhibitions of the respective
styles.
This stunt will be the first of its kind.
No city in the country can produce
four styles of football, not even New
York. Here all but the old game are
played extensively.
Throop and S. c. A. A. are as closely
matched as can be. while the Thistles
and Rangers are about even. In the
case of the Indians and the Saints, II
is likely that the team in the best
physical condition will win, and in all
probability the Indians will have the
call, as the lights of Broadway and
the sights of great city are not as
good conditioners as country air and
labors af1eid.
Tt Is probable that the old-style game
will be the great drawing card for the
old-timers, and a big lot of them are
expected to cheer the game which 1--WE

to attend the games in bodies and get
