have counted two runs had it

started pounding Brenton to various
corners Of the yard. Brenton gave IN
seven hits in three innings. which reg

sixth, when they began betting the

the high school and Gravy back
passed to Delsman on the catch.
Time out for Phillips on the play.
Then followed a number of line
bucks and end runs by Gravy, Dels-
man and Spencer, and a line buck
by Plymate were also quite success
full.
At the beginning of the last quar-
ter Jeter, Merrill and Ashcraft re-
turned to their positions in the line.
After Delsman's yardage gain on a
line buck, a forward pass, Plymate
to Lilly, resulted in a loss, as did
also a tumble by Spencer on a low
pass from center. The ball finally
reverted to the Alumni, who through
pass to Mowat, which, had it been
successful, would have resulted in at
least a 3O-yard gain. Mowat downed
Lilly on the punt, following which
Holmes repeated his early perform

turn punt. cap Ding" intercepted a
Phillips-Moody forward pass in grand
style, after which the high school
boys failed in their own forward
pass attempt. Gravy took Mowat
down in the punt, but Lynn gained
about Is yards on forward pass.
Time out for Mowat on Spencer S
tackle. Delsman got Mowat for loss
and an Alumni pass failed. Philliie
gained on end run, Ashcraft making
his first tackle in fine shape. Wal
lace blocked Phillips punt and fell
on the ball. Lilly got the return
punt from Bricks boot and made a
small gain by game fighting. Holmes
got Mowat on "a punt for the fourth
time and Delsman hit Patello so hard
on the next play that the former

until the whistle blew, announcing
the finish of most interesting game.

high school kicked off to the Alumni,
Phillips getting the ball. After a
short run he was downed by Frame
at the Alumni 5O-yard line. Phillips
made a 2O-yard gain on a fake pass
on the next play.
When the high school boys re-
trieved the ball Lilly punted to
Mowat, who fumbled and gave Jeter
a chance to exercise his former train
ing by falling on the ball The stu
dents gained 5 yards more when Muir
ply was penalized for the first off
side offense. The ball was then re-
turned to the graduates through
Lilly's punt. After gaining about 20
yards on Brick Moody's forward
pass, Phillips failed to duplicate the
play and lost heavily. Last years
back pass was then trotted into the
fracas, by which Phillips gained
about Is yards. Holmes and Jeter
broke up the next two plays with
heavy losses. On the punt that en-
sued Spencer gained nearly 80 yards,
ending the first quarter.
Upon the return of the ball to the
Alumni, Garrett started things by
spilling his predecessor in the office
of captain, Walter Phillips, for a
small Alumni gain. Four successive
downs followed, the Alumni failing
to make yardage. The high school
ers gained 10 yards more when Muir
ply was penalized the second time
for being off-side. Bill Holmes
downed Mowat in his tracks on the
ensuing punt, but Lynn Immediately
retaliated by gaining about Is yards
on a fake pass. Lilly's punt went
slightly out of bounds and the ball
was forfeited to the Alumni, after
which two small gains were made by
an end run and forward pass. A
short punting duel followed between
Lilly and Moody, then Phillie gained
20 yards on another fake pass. On
Bricks tumble the A. H. S. regained
the ball, which regaining resulted in
the forcing of Spencer over the high
school goal line for a safety. This
scoring ended the half.

Gravy fumbled the Alumni kick
off and back-passed to Delsman, who
also made good gain on the next
play, line buck. After a high
school penalty of yards Holmes
again nailed Mowat for loss on a
punt. Lilly made big gain on the
return punt and left line bucks which
finally netted the high school a
touchdown. Delsman made the
touchdown legally, but upon Phillips
grabbing the ball was taken back
and rushed over by Spencer. Gravy

bandit entered the mail car of the
Southern Pacific train No. 20 at Bur-
lingame Tuesday afternoon, and at
the point of gun compelled the two

The registered mail was then rifled.
The train made no stop between Bur-

robber escaped, the postal officials
say, when the train slowed down in
the San Francisco yards. Examina-
tion of the rifled pouches showed the
loss will not be great. The train op-
