In the battle for the Harrison Trophy
the junior soccerites put on two of
the best games of the season Saturday
at Hodges field.
AS the season will end today and
as the two leading teams were separa-
ted by only n point their games were
played with a determination which Dor
dered on desperation.
For the Coopers, Lee, w Gavin and
Arnoult played in great form, though it
is hardly fair to pick any individual
as better than another. For the Cal
houns, Heffernan, Mincer and Under
did heroic work in holding the score
as low as they did.
The second game was all Hodges be-
cause of the absence of several of the
south siders' stars. For the winners,
Burke, Scruggs and Powell played great
football while Walsh, Ries, Gerber and
Kane played exceptionally well for their
team. Kane in goal was the hero Of
the day. The way in which he stopped
shots would do honor to a veteran in
the game.

in the bantam ranks, and tonight he'll
put all possible steam into the punches

Herman's best bets are his left hook
and right cross, and he says he doesn't
know which one he hits the harder
with. Herman surprised his auditors
Saturday by weighing in at a local
turkish hath-house at III pounds,
Moore making the same poundage. BY
tonight Herman will weigh a little
more, but will be safely within the
120-pound law. The fact that Herman
is a legitimate bantam and not the
teatherweight that he has been reputed
by those who are trying to hurt his
career came as a distinct surprise.
Herman is fast on his feet, agrees
siVe and is a great little battler. To
be a champion he must be good, and
Pete carries all that he should possess
to lead the bantam flock. He Is meet

First Game Ragged.

The first game was rather ragged
compared with the real classic which
was to follow, yet 1t was a bitterly
Fought affair from start to finish. In
terest never Jagged because Of the
flashes Of lightning speed of Tommy
Long, or the spectacular shots Of Duff,
which were as spectacularly stopped by
Shinerer, or the masterful playing of
Craft, MURPHY and Hagerty for the
winners or the great work of Gavin and
True, which was accompanied by RAJ
neys good work both as soccer player
and as a clown.
The sole goal of the game was the
result Of a foul kick which D. jefferson
drove directly into the goal from the
4O-yard line. His brother Babe" was
right on the job, and literally carried
the ball through between his knees.
The Floyd's Candy, though greatly
strengthened by the addition Of Bishop
