than his share OF the ground in scrim-
mage, and was into every play on the
defense. Kleve, as usual proved q
bothersome man to get around, but it
remained for Ralph Hoyt to be the
backbone of the high school defense.
More so in the first than last half. he
was very bothersome parsonage for
the alumni, his speciality being pihng
up the play before it had fairly
started.
The work Of the officials was Of the
highest class, and not decision was
questioned. In fact the game was con-
spfcuous for it's lack of beefing and
wrangling, thing thet some times en-
tiers into an alumni game. But one
thing was lacking to make the after
noon completes success, and that was
larger crowd. There were very few
high school students out to root for
their team, while the city people did
not turn out in any such numbers as
they have in previous years for this
contest.
