TEAM
DRILLS HARD.

Last night S Scrimmage drill for
the Spartans brought some good
football to the front, although
Coach Bob Armstrong still found
one or two spots where a little in
tensive polishing will be necessary
This will be given this afternoon
when the squad goes through its
last session in preparation for the
game with Herbert Hoover High
tomorrow night.
Both the varsity and the second
team toted the pigskin last night
with Armstrong watching every
man closely to choose the best
possible combination to throw in
against the Hooverites. After this
session it looks like F:rukawa.
Maiden, Becker, Weiss, and Kirk
patrick will be the Spartan back
field men when the opening whis-
tie blows but Armstrong may make
a last-minute change before game
time.
The San Diego team is coming
over with plenty of rooters to help
their cause and a large crowd is
assured for the game which is
looked on as the hardest assign
ment the Spartans will have this
year. Fans are again reminded
that the game will be called
promptly at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow
night and the wise fan will be
there long before that if he wishes
