PUNTS AND PASSES
s1DEL1GHTs ON THE BIG GAME

BY BOB PIGUE.

The officiating of Referee Halligan
and Umpire Day was all that could
have been desired. Everything
passed off in fine shape, and the
game was handled in fine style. Ref
cree Halligan kept the field clear
at all times, and kept the game 60
ing without any undue delay.
Fair football fans for both schools
turned out in full force, and were an
ideal setting for the big struggle.
The big west side of the stands was
packed to capacity by fair rooters
OF both G. H. 8. and NJ. U. S., and
was a veritable bouquet of loneliness
and color.
Both schools had bands present,
which supplied harmony for the &C.
casion.
The game was marred by
many injuries. the High school
list Of substitutes was freely
called upon as man after man
would go down and out.
In the fourth period, just before the
game ended, a lively scrimmage took
place between a High school man
and a M. U. S. husky. For a mo-
ment it appeared as if general
skirmish would occur, and fans from
all over the park ran across to see
the fun. However, no one was in
jured.
While this was going on. pair of
! policemen on the east side Of the
field had an 1S-year old boy down
on the ground trying to search him.
for what nobody ever discovered.
One OF the officers attempted the
search, but found 1t too big a job,
and he called out reinforecments. The
two of them finally managed to go
through the lads pockets. They
found nothing.
The lad was taken out and hauled
to the police station. The officer
said he would be charged with dis
orderly conduct.
There was much criticism Of the
rough handling of the boy by the
two big, husky policemen, when he
was guilty of nothing except at
tempting to cross the field to see
what the trouble was when the two
football players tied up.
Cliff Poland, the rotund pho
tographer, was present with his
moving picture machine, and
made so feet of film for Pathe
Weekly. It will be shown in
Memphis at an early date.
The crowd was handled better at
the Thanksgiving day game than at
any contest this year.
Only at one stage did the specta-
tors get out Of hand. and then they
were quickly shooed off the field.
Those who had made their wagers
upon c. H. s. never gave up the
ship until the last, believing all the
time that the Green and Gold would
get away and do some damage. How
ever. their dream was never realized.
The Central High sturdies several
times directed their attack against
Les Baeherie and Charley DeSaus'
sure, only to discover that Thompson
or Gibbons would be carrying the
ball. Many substantial gains were
made by Gibbons and Thompson
while the Green and Gold athIstes

Baeheris.
Acting Capt Ray McGoldrick, of
NJ. u. s., played his usual steady
game and was in every play, He
and Jim Jeffries were opposite each
other and both had great time
splitting each other.
Peck Palmer, the sorrel- topped
end of c.. II. S., was Il bear on
the defensive He was death to
all runners who headed around
his sector and any time Red and
Blue carriers OF the ball discover
ed they were up against a stone
wall in trying to gain in Reds
territory.
Les BacheriE played a stellar game
for NJ. U. S. He handled the team
well, I'D in addition was one of the
leading ground gamers for the Red
and Blue.
Charley DeSaussure, NJ. L. S. full.
back. was one Of the leading indi
vidual stars of the fray. ripping off
