than satisfied with the local football

"The boys sure showed they were

scared in the first half"
The local boys, fighting hard, held
last years Southern California cham
pions scoreless in the first half. San
Diego played their regular first team
lineup. Later on, already beaten, the
locals seriously threatened the San
Diego goal line. They were hampered
seriously by lack of practice. Sew
eral of the team members worked on
farms, and the team could hold but
short practices, with little time left
to work out complicated trick plays.
San Diego's trick plays were the
deciding factor in their victory.
