but the brOiling sun was not conducive
to good football. 1t would have been
an ideai day for baseball
One fact was brought home strongly
to both players and spectators, and
that was, there is great need for off,

During Saturdays game there were
several penalties imposed on both sides
for Offside plays, but there was con-
slant pulling and pushing Of players
through the line, which Is In violation
OF the rules. This escaped the atten-
ton Of the officials

in the sport and bring out a good
crowd even though the attendance on
Saturday was not small.
In Saturdays game the FL PasO
team won because it was the better

The first score was made in the
first quarter Of the game, when Shea,
of the high school, carried the ball
across the line and then kicked a goal,
making the score TO O. futile fol-

but Mitchell failed to put the ball over
the horizontal when he kicked. This
was the decision OF both the referee
and the umpire, though many OF the
spectators thought the ball had gone
over. This made the score TO 6 IN
favor Of the high school.
Questioned Touchdown.
In the third quarter Darneu kicked
toward the opposing goal line, an A

Walker, of the high school, catching
the ball on a bounce, carried it across
the line. The college boys cOntended
that none of their men had touched
the ball, which Walker got on the 10
yard line. Many of the spectators also
