Spartans Prove Much Too Strong For Coachell;
TAYLOR'S MEN SHOW REAL CLASS
in TROUNCING VISITORS &c TO Is
Hard Working Line Tears Holes In Opposi-
ton Through Which Speedy Backfield
Men Romp To Touchdowns.

Behind the powerful thrusts of
the forward wall, the fleet Spartan
backs, Wagner, Lambeth and Fox
alternated in carrying Central
Union to an impressive victory over
the lighter Coachella football team
on the local gridiron last night. The
final score was 26-13 and marked
the first victory for the Spartans
this season.
II was just a matter of too much
power supplied by Edgar, Aaron, Dill
beck, Furbass and other linemen as
these worthless opened holes in the
Coachella line wide enough to drive
tractor through. And when these
openings were made the speedy
Spartan backs were right on the job
with slaShing runs of from 10 to %
yards to carry the team on the vic.
tory.
The first half and particularly the
first quarter showed the locals at
their best as they tore the Coached
la line to shreds, blocked a punt
near the visitors goal line and
otherwise showed that they meant
, business and plenty of that. Dur.
Ping the second half of the game,
however, the locals appeared listless
and extremely careless with the re-
suit that they lost other scoring op-
portunities and nearly threw away
their victory wien they were caught
mapping on an attempted sneak
play and by series of penalties
which resulted in one touchdown
and almost brought on another.
The game opened with Coachella
receiving. Dilbeck kicked off and
the ball was put into play on the
Coachella 80 yard line. An exchange
of puntS gave the locals the ball on
their own 81 yard line and then the
parade got under way for the first
Spartan score.
Through holes torn in the Goa
chella line. Wagner rambled Is
yards. Then Lambeth tore off a 49,
yard gain. Wagner repeated with a
Z yard stroll and Fox broke through
again for 25 yards to the 2 yard
stripe. From this point Lambeth
plunged over for the first score of
the game. The conversion attempt
failed and the score stood: Ell Gen.
tro 6, Coachella 0.
Coachella again received and on
the fourth play, Edgar broke
through and blocked Boomers at
tempted punt, the ball being recov-
cred by the Spartans on the visitors
10 yard line. A line buck was tried
which netted yards. Then Lam
beth on wide run around his left
end carried the pigskin over for
touchdown and Wagner convert
ed by another end run. Score -
Spartans 13, Coachella O..
Bad Punt Helps
A bad punt which dropped on the
Coachella 23-yard stripe gave the
Spartans possession of the ball at
That point and Wagner broke
through to carry it to the 2 yard
mark just as the first period ended.
Three thrusts at the line and
Wagner then carried the ball over
Tor the third Spartan score. Inc at
tempted conversion failed. Score:
Spartans 10, Coachella O.
At this point it looked as if the
locals were on their way to pile up
a score which might reach three
figures but this possibility was rude
ly jolted when the visitors came to
life and the Spartans started to be-
have as if they didn't care what
happened. By series of well-execu-
ted passes from Boomer to ,Enz, the
Coachellans finally crossed the
Spartan goal line with their first
score of the evening
The scoring play was a nifty pass
taken by Enz who galloped 46 yards
after taking the ball from Boomer,
