SOCCER
TEAM WINS, so
Defeats the Franklin School
Team; Alta Vista Team
Wins From Sunset.
BY J. G. BRAIN.

Two games of soccer football were
played in the Junior Grammar School
league Tuesday afternoon. In the tlIst
the Villas eleven won from Franklin by
a score of to 0, while in the second,
Alta Vista defeated Sunset by a score
The first game showed that the
/ Franklin team knows little of team
work. The team easily outWelghed
| Villas and as a whole appeared some
| what faster, but the players did not
I show knowledge of the proper way to
make use of their speed and weight;
[ The Franklin players simply dasheu
madlv up and down the field, usually
watching the player going after the ball
/ instead of following the ban itself For
Villas, manager Ferdinand Welsh
played a really remarkable game at
right inside wing. This yOungster, in
addition to pulling off great many
steller plays, scored three of the six
Z goals made by Villas. Welsh made
dozen splendid passes with jimmie
Hunter, from out Of bounds. He would
make a feint to throw the ball to some
/ other yOungster and then would throw
! back toward his own goal to Jimmie
who had edged his way out into the
! clear. Welsh would then run down
| the field and receive the ball from
J Jimmie who had brought IT close to
! the Franklin goal. Three times Welsh
! scored a goal in this way and on one
other occasion, both being covered, the
/ ball was sent to another member of the
team who easily kicked it through
! Hunter Plays Strong Game.
/ Jimmie Hunter, as always, played
/ very strong game. He has developed
the finer points of the game to great
) er extent than any player even in the
J senior league. This yOungster has ac-
! quired the knack of blocking an on
! coming player in such a way that he Is
/ Immediately in a position to kick after
] having disposed of the man attempting
l to block He has also developed drib-
J bling to a science. Captain George
/ Cross, of Villas, also played a great
J game George. who played left inside
! wing, is uneQualled by any wing in the
junior league and surpassed by only
| one or two in the senior league which
/ is playing for the FL Paso Herald's ban
neT. With George Cross, Ferdinand
Welsh and Jimmie Hunter holding down
| the center of the rush line Villas has it
! all over any of the other teams in the
! junior league in that place at least And
/ in Guyler Magruder they have a half
back who is easily the peep of any in
: the younger organization. In Tuesdays
game Guy was all over the field kick
! ing and blocking. Whether he were
! PLAYING an offensive or defensive game
: he easily bested his opponent. Villas vic
tory may be attributed to Guys SPLEEN
/ did playing as much as to any other
4 cause.
Had Only Nine Players.
In the second game. Sunset had only
( nine players, q number of the young
sters failing to put in an appearance.
] The Herald is offering a banner for the
! Senior league, and principally because
/ of this, interest has been kept alive in
! that organization. No trophy has been
offered in the Junior league and for
] this and several other reasons it has
| been found to be a very difficult task to
/ keep the little fellows gOinS.
/ Uses Poor judgment.
| Sunsets defeat Tuesday can be
] charged principally to poor judgment
! Despite the fact that they were shy
( two players the boys put up great
I game and had Fred Schneider, who
/ finished at the position, started as goal
! keeper it is certain the worst Sunset
I would have received is a scoreless tie.
/ George BOVee who started as goal
! keeper had never played a game before
and as a result was failure at the diff
I ficult position. From goalkeeper he
| was moved to Schneider's place at cen
/ ter halfback and in that place put up a
! far better game than most of those who
! have played the game since the season
! opened. It was principally because of
/ Georges blocking, interfering and
/ kicking that Fred Schneider was able
I to make such a fine showing at goal
! keeper. After George went to halfback
! and Fred to taking care of goal the
/ Alta Vista team never came even close
! to scoring. In interfering, George
/ showed better even than Jimmie Hun
I ter and better than any player who has
/ been seen in the city with the sole eX-
| ception Of Laurence Sheay, that good
/ halfback of the San Jacinto senior
team
Russell Hayden, captain Of Sunset,
who really should be playing on a first
! team played his usual fast hard game.
! He was particularly strong on the Of
| fence, but did not receive the required
I support from his teammates to enable
IL Tn 4 ErHu
| splendid player Hayden is the most
/ popular yOungster playing in either
] league. And his popularity is well de
! served, for it is principally due to the
fact that he always plays hard game
| and at the same time is absolutely
| clean. Not once since the season be
gan has he had a foul of any kind
/ called on him. a fast, hard fighter in
/ any sport he enters and boy who CYL
IDENTIFY knows his ability as such yet he
I always refrains from picking on the
little fellows.
