nth team for the first time against
ooStbern High on Cahill Field. This
sv wss the other local game played.
wh,,e southern was defeated. 1910. n |
r'ucb larger score had been looked for.
Cofoll is reputed TO have one Of the
A.st eleycns in the city. According to
.hs advance dope, of the Cahillites have
= Sreot chance to win the title now pos
..Ssed by st. Joseph's. and should win
large percentage of the games played
Either this dope is the bunk or
southern has turned ont to be pen
nant contender. For Coach Dr. Kcr's
aggregation fought Ike n galaxy Of
al. time gladiators. and did not allow
ne Red and Black to be tramplcd on
without putting up grand and glorious
battle
Touchdowns by McNally and Cas-
sidy sent the downtowners TO the matt
Kayoed. Both were made on off tackle
plays.
Cofalls team. however, merely played
Z straight game, and plunged its way
through Southern's line to the victory.

eleven had an afternoon tea party or
something like that, at the expense Of
Lansdowne High. When the figures
were totaled it was found that the
Crimson and Gray was the winner,
% to 0.
The Catholic League champions of
1920 and 1921 had 1t easy throughout
the game. Iansdownc was unable to
cope with the eleven stragetists placed
on the field by Coach Miller, and was
given neat football lesson.
St. Joseph's first touchdown came in
the opening period. when Prostovitch
scored Oh an tackle play. A % yard
dropkick by the same player added
another point.
Captain Butler showed football brains
after Osborne had scored the second

place kick Prostovitch's kick was |
blocked, but Butler recovered the ball
and rolled over the line for the point.
Osborne scored the third touchdown |
and Magma went off tackle for the last |
