LACK or
IL DGAIENT

Last Friday when Broadway and
Franklin were playing before Walter
Camp. a small group OF Garfield
rooters, among them some OF the
Garfield players and Principal
Porter. sat IN the stands and razzed.
booed and insulted the Broadway
team turnout the game. They
seemed 20 blame the Tigers for the
disqualification OF Richie. who was
found 10 be average.
While Garfield was undoubtedly
disappointed over their setback. 1t
was very poor craftsmanship TO give
vent to their feelings as expressed
by this group OF rooters.
No formal protest was entered
against Richie and the Babes have
no one but themselves TO blame To-
playing a man over age. When
the games were forfeited tho right
thing was done and It called for
no such demonstration as was given
at that Broadway. Franklin game.
Walter Camp wasn't given very
good impression of Seattle high
school football craftsmanship that
day.

coach.

one day last year" says Camp.
and Rocknue sent in several suhsti.
tutes late in the game and he

asked him why he didn't tell them
anything and Roekne replied that If
they didn't know what to do after
watching the game for two periods
they never would"
Camp says that Rockne has two
highly developed teams and usually
changes his whole lineup when he
sends in subs so as to have men
playing together who are accustomed
