PASADENA MACHINE SMASHES L. A.
FRIDAY ASSEMBLY BEST
RALLY HELD AT
PASADENA
Coach Pipal and Many Others
of Note Add to Interest of
Rally for L. A. Game
School spirit was aroused to an in¬
tense pitch at the big rally prior
ш
the struggle with Los Angeles High
last week, and the whole Student
Body was brought to realize the im¬
portance of the coming game through
the “heart to heart” talks from loyal
supporters of P. H. S., and all were
most optomistic as to the outcome
provided the Home team was properly
backed up.
“It has been ‘doped out’ by the
Alumni,” said former Commissioner
Blanch, “that P. H. S. will come out
on top this season. Her strongest
rivals for the championship are Long
Beach, Pomona and Santa Ana, and
although they all have good teams,
we think P. H. S. has a better one.
Long Beach is about the strongest of
the three and has four of her old
standbys back this year. Pomona for
the past two years has held the Rugby
championship, and is going to put up
a hard fight. Santa Ana is likewise
coming right along, banking much on
her two tackles, one of whom is a
wonder at kicking. Prom this you
can get some idea of what you’re go¬
ing up against, but if P. H. S. gets in
and supports her team, there’s no rea¬
son in the world why she can’t come,
off victorious, for she has an ideal
team and likewise an ideal coach.”
Mr. Pipal, from Occidental, the man
who formally had Coach Seay in train¬
ing, expressed his interest in P. H. S.
and delivered a rousing talk to the
Students.
“I didn’t come over here to tell you
that you might win that game tomor¬
row,” he said, “but that you must win
it- Not only plan to organize, but act.
You must be there. If you think you
have that game already won you’re
sadly mistaken. It’s going to be a
strong game, and you’ll have to fight'
“In Mr. Seay you have one of the
headiest coaches in Southern Califor¬
nia. Your coach is a man — he’s more
than a man. Anybody can get out
there and swear and yell and make
them practice, but it takes a man with
character to mold such a team as you
have developed here. Someone said
that enthusiasm was the .boiling point
on the thermometer of appreciation.
Show your appreciation and keep your
enthusiasm high. Be loyal to the
team that’s so loyal to the school.
“I never consider a game won until
it is won. You know Los Angeles
High is mighty ambitious, and they
are doing everything they posibly can.
It’s up to you. Get busy, get together
and support your team.”
There is one person who is “always
there,” whether it’s football bebating
or any other activity, and that man is
Mr. Henry.
Referring to P. H. S. sportsmanship
he said: “I have never seen a dirty
trick, played by a P. H. S. man on the
football team. Never have I seen them
win a point by anything but clean
playing. P. H. S. is to be commended
on the good sportsmanship she dis¬
plays. Your coach is a perfect gentle¬
man, and you have eleven pocket edi¬
tions of Seay on your team.
“You have got to get in and win the
Southern California championship this
year, if you are going to take advan¬
tage of the great honor that is in
store for you. I’m not going to tell

Last week the Salesmanship and

The Ad Club was organized last
year and was noted for its splendid
work in securing subscribers for the
Chronicle and the Item. Its object is
to promote the advertising profession
and it is creating a greater interest
in advertising work.
E. W. Herlihy gave a short talk on
the grocery salesman and the grocery
business.
At the election Ed. Polakoff was
elected President; Maurice Wynn,
Vice President; George Robbins, Sec¬
retary; Grayce Brisley, Treasurer.
The board of governors in whom the
control of the club is vested is com¬
posed of Leslie Cramer, Paul McEl-
wain, Grayce Brisley, George Robbins,
Maurice Wynn, Ed. Polakoff, Charles
Marshall, Waren Brigham and Carl¬
ton Volk. The club is to retain the
name of Pasadena Ad Club, selected

A regular exhibit will soon be es¬
tablished in the halls of the Jane Ad-
dams building for the purpose of al¬
lowing those who do not wish to. visit
the class rooms to see the work being

Thousand Percent Still Intact; Los Angeles Ruggers Stand No
Chance with Speedy Vets of Pasadena’s Championship
Team. Grid Artists Play All-Star Football
By RALPH HOSLER
Delegates from all the Girls’ Student
Leagues of Southern California will
be present at the convention which
will be held at Manuarl Arts High
School, Los Angeles, on November the
19th and 20th.
The various girls’ organizations all
over the Southland have organized
into a federation, and this combined
organization meets during the course
of the year in different cites to in¬
crease the interest and enlarge the
work of the Girls’ Leagues.
This year the convention will be
held at Manual Arts, which is one of
the greatest preparatory institutions
in the country. The Vermonters al¬
ways extend the glad hand to all vis¬
itors and a splendid time is antici¬
pated by the League enthusiasts.
Friday, November the 19th, will be
the conference day, at which time nec¬
essary business will be transacted and
all matters of private importance will
be attended. The following morning,
which will be Saturday, a Round
Table will be held, at which time all
girls will be welcome to attend. In
fact, one of the principal objects of
this Round Table is to show the girls
of the high schools how much work
is being carried on by the League
organizations.
Pasadena High School will be rep¬
resented at the conferences to be held
on Friday, and it is hoped that a large
number will also avail themselves of
the opportunity to learn of the work
done by the Girls’ Student Leagues.
P.T, A, ENTERTAINMENT
DRAWS BjG AUDIENCE
Proceeds of Vaudeville to Be
Used in Connection with
Needs of High School
Last Thursday and Friday nights
the Parent-Teachers’ Association of
the high school staged a vaudeville
show, which not only netted a large
sum of money for the use of the
Board in improving conditions around
the school, but also . was highly suc¬
cessful from the standpoint of real
entertainment.
All the acts were well done, and two
or three were of high, artistic merit.
Mrs. L. H. Turner gave a beautiful
intrepretation of “Billy,” a character
found in “The Girl of the Limberlost,”
by Gene Stratton Porter, while “Pan¬
taloon,” a fantasie by Sir James Bar¬
rie, which was the principal act of the
evening, was put on in a way which
would have done credit to any play¬
house.
Beth Frost, Wendell Wilson and
Clark Cook, who are already well
known to Pasadena audiences, took
their parts admirably and succeeded
in making the fantasie a great suc¬
cess.
The proceeds of the show will be
devoted exclusively to improvement
of conditions around the school, and
thanks are due to the P.-T. A. for
their interest in the welfare of the
school and for the practical turn
which their interest has taken.

Raspberries? Oh, Prunes!!!
Hopelessly outclassed from start to
finish, but fighting like demons, L. A.
High tumbled before Coach Seay’s
Bulldogs by a score of 15 to 0. Never
did L. A. have a chance, the ball only
twice getting past Pasadena’s thirty
yard line. The supposedly strong line
of L. A. crumpled before the terrible
smashing of the Pasadena backs,
Gard, Chisholm and even “Tuffy” Conn
gaining many yards on almost every
down. The P. H. S. ’Varsity was in
perfect condition, not one player being
taken out on account of injuries, while
L. A. replaced four men.
The noticeable feature of the game
was the use of the old plunging style
instead of the open game. Both teams
played straight football, the forward
pass being used by Pasadena only. In
the last quarter however, Pasadena
opened up and successfully completed
two forward passes. L. A. appeared
particularly weak on the defense, play
after play getting by; but no team
could stop plays against such perfect
interference as Pasadena had. The
red jersied ends smeared every end
run L. A. started, and the line held
the Hilltoppers like the Pillars of Her¬
cules. The L. A. bunch were unable to
get started, Pasadena breaking up
every play they attempted.
P. H. S. won the toss and L. A.
kicked, and from the shrill blast of
the referee’s whistle, Pasadena rushed
the Hilltoppers off their feet. “Tuffy”
shot around one end for twenty yards,
Brant stabbed through the line for ten
more. “Big Jawn” McConaghy and
Moore pounded incessantly on tackle
round plays, making five and six yards
every down. “Tuffy” recovering the
ball on a fumble ran the ball to L. A.’s
two yard line. Then “Big Jawn” car¬
ried the ball over the first touchdown,
within six minutes of play. A strong
wind was blowing and Big Steve failed
to convert.
COMMERCIAL MEETING
OF UNUSUAL INTEREST
C. L. Lewis Speaks on Object of
Club; Junior Board of
Trade Members Talk
At the Commercial Club meeting
last last Tuesday, Mr. Lewis gave a
talk to the members on the object of
the club, touching on the point that
the Junior Board of Trade meant the
same to Pasadena High School as the
Senior Board of Trade meant to Pasa¬
dena. He also stated that the policy
of the club was not undertake any
task for the glory acquired but for the
good resulting from the work.
Helen Brown gave a humorous read¬
ing that was well read and brought
the lighter side of life to all there.
Majorie Vorhees played the violin and
was accompanied by Bernice Hull at
the piano.
Several members of the Junior
Board of Trade were then called upon
and each told of their phase of the
work. Arvid Hellberg asked all who
wished membership in the club to pay
their dues, which are ten cents for the
year, so that early work and results
might be obtained.
As before Pasadena pushed the ball
to the Blue and White five yard line.
“Tuffy” Conn’s sweeping end runs,
Brant Gard’s slashing line bucks and
Moore’s and McConaghy’s tackle plays
were always good for great gains, and
when L. A. succeeded in stemming the
tide, the ball rested on their five yard
line. Husky Brant Gard on a straight
line buck, plowed through the line for
the second touchdown. This time big
Steve placed the ball squarely be¬
tween the goal posts, and the quarter
ended with the score 13 to 0, favor of
Pasadena.
Second Quarter
The second quarter opened as the
first, every red jersey playing like six
men. Brant Gard kept the stands on
its feet during the entire quarter by
his line plunging, and “Tuffy” Conn’s
end runs had the Hilltopper ends al¬
most crazy. Three times did P. H. S.
rush the ball to the L. A. five yard
line, but lacked the punch to carry it
over. Moore, breaking through the
line, blocked a kick, forcing the ball
behind the Blue and White goal. Wild
was the scramble for the pig skin, but
when the players untangled a blue
jersy was curled around it. This safety
made two points more for the P. H. S.
bull dogs. Despairingly L. A. tried to
come back, but were played to a stand¬
still, not one play gaining any yards
whatever, and the half ended with the
ball in L. A. territory. Score 15 to 0
in favor of Pasadena.
Third Quarter
At the start of the third quarter, L.
A. started out with a rush, but P. H. S.
held them on their own forty yard
line. Wally Chisholm intercepted a
forward pass and ran it back eleven
yards. L. A. retaliated by intercepting
a pass also, and again the Blue and
White team fought its way down the
field. Pasadena held them on their
own forty yard line, and immediately
began making up for lost ground.
“Tuffy” tore around the end for fifteen
yards, and Brant Gard made fifteen
more around the other end, “Jitz” Lav-
agino carried through a center for
several more. On their own five yard
line, however, L. A. held, and punted
out of danger. Here the quarter ended
with the ball on L. A.’s thirty yard
line.
Fourth Quarter
“Tuffy,” just to start things moving,
stepped around the end for thirty
yards, and almost for a touchdown,
only one man between him and the
Cliffdwellers’ goal. This last quarter
was L, A.’s last stand. Their bucking
was of no avail, their end runs were
smeared before they were started, and!
their trick plays seemed sadly out of
place, when a red jersey tore into the
interference and mussed up the play.
L. A. tried every comeback they had,
but no good was done, for P. H. S., de¬
termined to make the defeat decisive,,
stopped any attempt at scoring. P. H.
S., on the other hand, punted when¬
ever they had a chance, and L. A. was.
about worn to a frazzle when the ref¬
eree’s whistle announced the end of
the game.
Three thousand people witnessed
the game, L. A. filling up three fourths
of the bleachers, but Pasadena having
three times as many autos there. En¬
thusiasm reigned supreme. Never did
