" OILED passing attack.

ly oiled passing attack.
A short opening kickoff as Par
kers won the toss Of the coin
gave the locals an advantage they
didn't use. On their own forty
yard line they failed to punch over
the midfield stripe. The ball went
to Parkers and with Anderson
their prize running back man, In
three attempts picked up q first
down. Two punches into the line
netted little, but q wide sweeping
end run gave them the yardage
Ethun. local halfback. whose turn
came when Parkers failed on the
next succession, picked up . nice
gain, but the boys were forced ia
punt. Putting Parkers deep into
their own territory the locals NOV
ed In on them. But Parkers booted
out with q long one to wind up
deep in local ground. Ethun pick
ed up q yard as he went down,
another play Tailed. q blocked punt
set them back, but an offsidc
against Parkers. gave the boys q
break. and the following plunge
Melted q first down. When Hoff-
man punted out the play moved
for the first time out Of the local
territory. Anderson again poked
his brawny frame through for
nearly a first down, and Parkers
opened up as the quarter ended
with a pass netting q thirty yard
completion.
On the opening play Of the sec
ond stanza the Schroeder to Abbot
passing combination clicked
sweeping down the sideline Abbc:
picked UP momentum, brushed
aside the attempted tackle OF
Ethun, and went over standing up.
Finding their passes clicking
Parkers opened again and inter
ference with the receiver at the
hands Of local back Cokeley push
ed the locals back on their own 30
yard stripe. On a deceptive play
Anderson plunged for a first to
the 20. No gain as they slashed of
tackle. Another play Melted a first,
and for the first time the locals
set their backs against the goal
posts and held. An attempted pass
was out of bounds beyond the end
zone, and the succession failed on
the five yard line.
The longest single run OF the day
was chalked up by Ethun, who
starting from his own five. was
stopped on the first play. A repeti-
ton sprung the trap and he was
away into the secondary for nearly
a 30 yard gain. Passes that failed
to connect halted the march OF the
locals.
Parkers taking the ball punched
deep back into local territory NOV
ing In with plenty Of heat. A PEN
atty when the receiver OF q pass
knocked defensive halfback Coke
ley down shunted the play back to
midfield. The quarter ended.
In the opening Of the second
half not even Parkers passes
worked. Their failure gave Ethun
a chance to crack through again
for a first down. On this second
attempt, interference failed, he
was hit hard, and a resultant FUN
bic gave Parkers the break when
they came up with 1t. Two plays.

stopped cold. A deceptive play

In the fourth the Parkers, lads
using the identical play that net
ted them two previous touchdowns
crossed the chalk line twice more.
Abbot, ianky end took the pass FOR
a score. As they moved into scor-
ing territory again, 1t was Abbot
who In two successive pass re-
CENTS crossed for the final marker
Of the day.
Parker's running attack was as
rusty as was the locals. Across tho
line they Melted little more than
Harvey's outfit, although their
first downs, outrated the locals by
at least two to one. It was their
passing combination, that entailed
great height in the person OF end
Abbot that really put them across.
Prime among the faults OF the
game was the lack Of zip and
fight displayed by both teams.
while Abbot and Schraeder work
ed with precision on the passing
end, their line was not holding SO
well. It was the fact that the local
line was charging too slowly. Out
of It all Ethun doomed as the pos
sibility for a running back for the
locals. On the line Egan and Beste
turned in possibly the best per-
Torrance.
Injuries in the local camp that
put Hoffman out Of the squad for
the season and will bench Jim
Pangburn for at least two weeks
necessitated several changes In
personnel this week. Hoffman was
out with a broken bone In his an
kle, and Pangburn, in the opening
minutes Of play. walked of with
a disjointed elbow.
