Is to O. The squad played un- der the name of Alumni The fact that practically everyone in the Alumni will admit that 1t was one of the most strenuous hours of football playing that they have every gone through speaks we'll for the High school club. whose showing was most pleasing to their followers.
 No Consistent Gains
 It was not by a series of consistent gains or clever plays that the Alumni worked the ball to and over tho High school for either of the two touch downs. Rather it was the direct result Of two plays. and one of those two a misplay on tho part of a High school man who fumbled the ball on Alumnl's ten yard line. Kopiowitz recovered the tumble and with an open feld before him made a a5 yard run. It was easy matter to shove the ball across from the precarious position of two feet away from the goal line. and this was done. That was the second score of tho game. The first touchdown was made whom Renehan ran an open field for 90 yards and crossed the goal lino.
 Rcnchan Scores
 The game opened with Davis kick ing to tho Alumni. Jack Renehan grabbed the pigEkln. but was quickly downed. "Jazz" Renchnn. brother of Jack, playing in the baekfeld, took the ball on the next play and circling tho High schools left end and made for the goal iine. Griffin was the only High school man who appeared to havo chance of staying Renehan's progress. but he missed out and Jazz" registered. IL was just two minutes from the time the referees whistle sounded the opening of the game until tho scoro was made. Kopiowitz kicked the goal, bringing Alumni's score to '.
 The ball see-sawed back and fourth during that quarter and in tho second and third periods without a score. In the closing period the High school sue coeded in working the pigskin to Alumnis five yard llnc.

 Quarterback Grimm sang out his signals and the ball wont Into play. and was fumbled. Kopiowitz was in like flash and betoro the High school recovered was we'll on his way down the lot. Halfback D-vIs plugged along aftor "Koppy" and gave one of the finest exhibitions of running down a man that the local fans have been treated to in many a day. Although tho Alumni end Is admittedly one of tho fastest men who has ever played football on n local fiold and he had a nf rIy |. 4 tho better Of the run and on the 10 yard line was within a few feet of his objective, Realizing that his chances for catching koplowitz at sufficiently close range to pull him to the ground werc very slim. tho speedy haIfback made a flying tackle. He upset Koplo- witz, but again luck against the Red and Gold missed. Koplowitz regained his balance. but was quickly downed by Zehrer who had been following dt- rcctly behind Davis Zehrer stopped the runner but two feet away from tho goal line. On the next play Rene han carried the ball over and Koplo- witz then kicked the goal. increasing Alumni's score to 14.
 Use shift Formation
 Tho school relied almost entirely upon a baekneld shift formation to get across it's aerial work. and did u cess. Once. however, Murtha pocketad the ball advancing 1t about 20 yards. Although bucking heavier and more experienced line. tho school was suc- ceseful in showing several plunges for good gains. The end runs were knocked or by set of ends who were ever on the alert.
