Robbins and VintOn Put Up Great Team
Work in This Respect. Netting About
100 Yards-Passes to Other Members
Net So Yards.
The B. II. S. Alumni gave very sue
cessful demonstration to the high scho
football team, yesterday morning at Pratt
field as to how the game should be played,
by trimming them IS to 0.
The high school team was unable
cope with the Alumni's wide open brand
of football, consequently forward passes
were thrown for many Il substantial gain.
The combination Robbins to Vinton was
unusually successful, netting the winners
160 yards. Passes to other members of
the team added So yards TO the passing
gains. The Alumni line was too strong
for the high school team to make much on
an impression on, and end runS~were no.
very successful as their OWN line could
p9t keep the haS-beenS from breaking
through. OF course the Alumni wing men
were hardly ever on side, but the otlclal.
gave them penalties aplenty when they
saw that the Alumni had a chance to de-
feat the high school team, in fact jus,
before the last touchdown they tried TO
frame something to keep them from scor-
ing, but could not.
Robbins showed marked ability for the
Alumni in the kicking game, dropping
two field goals over the bar. GOrbOrino
playing quarter tried several line plunges
early IN the game, but apparently decided
il was too much for nothing, and after
the early part of the game the Alumni
elected to advance the ball by passing ex-
Cept near the goal line, when Wells and
Nixon plowed through the line for then
respective touchdowns.
Taken as a whole, for an outfit that
with but few exceptions had not been
playing the game this season, the alumni
showed up a st-Ong team, but looked t
be much stronger than they really We're
on account of the weak showing of the
high school team. which, as on previous
occasions this year when near the goal
line lacked the necessary drive to put the
score across.
Neither team scored in the first period,
the Alumni starting out with straight
football without very much success, caus-
ing them to resort to forward passing
and the first one of these was n gem.
The Alumni received the ball after
punt on their own 1O-yard line and in
stead of kicking Robbins shot long pas
from behind the line TO Ninton, who mad
Il nice run before he was brought down
for 45-yard gain.
The second period opened with the ha'
in possession of the Alumni on the i. IL

make distance and after the high scho"
team took a couple of clips at the lin.
