s has been the case in all lines Of
~ snort his season, the dope was
IL almost completely upset in the
two games at washington park Satur-
day. AS was expected, the School Of
Mines reversed the result of its last
game. But the Miners upset the dope
in running up the score. Even their
most sanguine admirers could not have
expected them to roll up a total of 29
to 0 against the goth infantry.
In the first game the El Paso
high school upset the dope by running
off from the Alamogordo crowd to h
tune Of 10 to 0. The much Wanted
strength OF Alamogordo was not in evil
dence at any time excepting in n
plunging. In this they easily excelled.
But they invariably fumbled just at the
time when a score appeared certain,
and just as invariably either Elliott
Chess. Paul Br0yles OF Bob Williams
covered the ball for Hi" In justice to
AlamogOrdo, it must be stated that the
team has a splendid looking bunch OF
material But it was entirely unneces-
sary to tell a follower Of the game that
the team has been without a coach.
The men huddled up on the line until
there was less than Q yard operating
the center and end. And they had no
idea even of the proper way to carry
the ball in running with it. once one
of their players touched a punted ball
before it went out of pounds and an
other ouche one before it went over
goal line. in both cases they simply
stood back and watched a high school
boy rccOver the ball.
Despite the fact that AlamOgordo's
knowledge Of the game was so nearly
nil. great credit is due the FL Paso
boys. For although they had a much
superior knowledge of the game, they
were laborinE under a tremendous
handicap OF weight.
Played Open Game.

schools victory was the splendid nose
for the BALI which Broyles, Williams
and Chess possessed. Quarterback C.
Upton discovered early in the game
that he must play q very Open game
and he resorted to this style Of play
almost entirely. Tip ran his team
splendidly and had he and his team
mates don as well last Saturday the
result Of that game would certainly
have been different Bob Williams, /
playing for the first time with high
school played a great game through
out Bob made some fine runs around
end and when the ball was fumbled he /
was always very close around, if not
on top Of the ball. This is also true of
Paul BroyIes. who showed his usual |
splendid game in all departments. Paul
was the only high school back who
could consistently gain through the
heavy AlamOgOrdO line. IN this he
easily outshone HIS" star line bucker,
tullback Mitchell. Broyles also did
great Work backing up the line. Little
ton was hurt early in the first quarter.
He refused to quit, but the injury pre-
vented him from playing his usual
game. Blanton played his usual
fine game at center and Escajeda also
wen, as did the entire Hi
team.
Chess Played Brilliantly.
But the star of the game was FL
lott Chess. Elliott missed one very
forward pass. but he more than I
made up for it. Almost alone he

whenever they attempted to carry the [
Dall on his side Of the line. He missed
only two forward passes Of the many

good for a big gain when he did get
ball. Elliott also many

fumbled the ball in q line nlunge.
