Once the powerful, we'll balanced

the game was never in doubt. The
Garden Grove combination was out

partment and but for the splendid
fighting spirit of the Garden Grove
team in the face OF certain defeat
the score would have been much larg-
er. Although the game lacked the
closeness which was expected by the
local rooters, still there We're plenty
Of thrills and remarkable plays. This
game formed a fitting climax upon
which to sound the foot ball taps for

The second quarter opened up with
q rush and before Garden Grove got
started Leon had scored touch
down. Capt. Keshlear scored this
touchdown on fake formation from
the yard line. 1t was in this quar-
ter that Leon tried open field work
and several yards were gained by the
aerial route. Leon made three sue

Groves full back, scored field goal
from Icons 25 yard line. This was
the only scoring done by them. Only
on one occasion was Icons goal in
