SHE1 IER'S TOE
BLANKS ALUMNI,
FOR HIGH TEAM
R sALIBI Az

For the nrst time In four years,
the high school football team de-
featsd the alumni Saturday after
noon, this time by the score Of 3
to 0.
The school boys outplayed their
opponents almost al the game and
once in the second qusrtef had the
bsll on the s-yard line, only % lose
It on . tumble.
It was not until the fourth quar-
ter that the Islanders were again
in position to score and Quarter
hack Shelter booted the winning
counters over the goal post.
with victory over the alumni to
its credit. the outlook for . WIN
ming team at high school now looks
good. Last year the score Of the
alumni-high school battle was 81 to
Z, and the team that represented
the grads this year was every bit
as strong a. last fall.
Tho alumni had quite q few men
out Saturday and made changes in
every quarter. Despite this, the
high gridders played them Oh their
feet.
School Loses Ban.
The game started with the high
school receiving. The school boys
failed to advance the Dall the neces-
sary yards and lost It to the grads
near the 4o-yard line. From there
the Alumni began . steady march
down the field towards the high
schools goal. They were finally
stopped the 20-yard line and the
high school was never in serious
danger of being scored on through
out the rest of the game. The quar-
ter ended with the balr In the
high schools possession in mid
field.
In the second quarter, the high
school started down the gridiron for
Q touchdown and would have scored
but for tumble on tho 5-yard line,
which was recovered by an alum
nus. This was the only tumble Of
the game for the school squad. The
grads punted out from behind the
goal and the youngsters were con-
tfnuinE the tight in alumni territory
when the middle whistle blew.
Nip-aad.Tuck Fight
During the last half the high
schools pep increased. while that
Of the alumni diminished. In the
I third quarter, although the young
sters were fighting hard. they
lacked the necessary punch to put
the ball over. The ball was at all
times in alumni territory and once
Shelter was close enough to try q
drop kick, but from . prscarious
angle and fell short. During this
period the alumni tEied quite q few
passes; almost all Of which were
unsuccessful.
In the final round the high school
began q determined fight to score
land in the middle Of the quarter
was able to get the winning points
by . drop kick. For the rest Of
the game the ball was rushed back
and forth in tie middle Of the Geld
with both teams all but exhausted
from the heat.
