BY AL WESSON.
Displaying wonderful teamwork and loads of speed, last
Saturday on the local field the Bulldog eleven smashed its way
thjru the L. A. Poly High team, for a 24 to 6 victory. Poly’s
points were scored after Mixon, her star halfback, intercepted a
pass and carried the ball to the five yard line where it was
squeezed over for a touchdown.
The Polyites were outplayed from the start and at no other
time during the afternoon’s performance did they get close
enough to the Red and White goal to threaten.
The scrap was featured by the stonewall defense of the
Pasadena line and the hard hitting of the local backs. “Friscus”
Franciscus pulled off a sensational stunt when he sprinted down
the field after the Poly man who had snagged a P. H. S. pass
and was racing down a clear field to a touchdown. “Friscus”
was about ten yards behind his man at the start of the race,
but after a terrific outburst of speed, he pulled the runner down
on the five yard line. Wally Chisholm not only showed all kinds
of pep in hitting the line, but fought just as hard on the defensive,
twice spearing enemy passes and making long runs, once for a
touchdown.
In the third quarter, Bob Shlaudeman made his debut as a
drop-kicker, making a perfect boot squarely between the goal
posts. Haney, the greatly heralded quarterback of the Poly¬
technic squad, was not in the game. The Mechanics evidently
did not expect much opposition, and when the locals started run¬
ning away from them at the beginning, they made several
changes in the lineup in an attempt to stop the Bulldog rush,
but the rush was beyond control.

The linemen played together like
one big fighting machine, and during
the enemy’s bombardment of bucks
and end runs, it proved to be as un¬
conquerable as Verdun. Husky “Bat¬
tleship Von” Mohr at center proved to
be the principal weapon of defense.
He was on the bottom of almost every
pile and made the Polytechnans work
for every inch of ground they gained
through the line.
Pete Simpson and Ed Braley, the
latter playing for the first time in the
P. H. S. lineup, both put up a hard
scrap. Boorey and Baldwin, the scrap¬
py tackles, were always where they
were needed to keep the machine in
good working order, while the speedy
ends, Kemp and Franciscus, did their
hit by mussing up everything that
came near them. McLaughlin, Riddle,
McCament, and Puterbaugh were put
in the line in the last part of the con¬
test and fitted into their places in great
style.
The backfield also played, together
wonderfully, the backs tearing big
holes in the opposing line with the
same machine-like work that was
characteristic of the P. H. S. line.
The game started with Poly receiv¬
ing. The Los Angeles boys were held
for down and the Pasadenans be¬
gan their grand march down the field
with the visitors unable to stop them.
Wally’s hard smashes were good for
yards at every attempt, while Fouche
and Ash hit ’em so hard that it took
half the Poly team to stop them.
Shlaudeman, the other member of the
heavy artillery, also penetrated the
Angelans first line trenches whenever
a couple of yards were needed.
Through a series of smashes, the
ball was carried to the Poly 5 yard
line where it was lost on a fumble.
Poly made a poor punt and the P. H. S.
backs started plugging away at the
line again. After a few plays, Chuck
Ash went through the line for a touch¬
down. Wally kicked goal.
Pasadena kicked off again and once
more the Poly backfield was unable to
gain. After a few minutes of playing,
Chisholm intercepted a pass and was
tackled on the Poly ten yard line. Af¬
ter several bucks, Captain Wally
smashed across the line for another
six points. He converted, making the
score 14 to 0.
Poly received on the kickoff and was
held again. With the hall in Pasa¬
dena’s hands in Poly teritory, Mixon,
the Mechanics’ left half, intercepted a
pass and sprinted down an open field
for what looked to he a sure touch¬
down. However, after a spectacular
run, “Friscus’’ nailed him five yards
from the coveted goal line. Poly
bucked the line and pushed the ball
over for a touchdown on a close de¬
cision. The goal wa§ not kicked. The
half ended with the score 14 to 6 in
favor of the home team.
The second half started with Poly
kicking to Ash. The ball changed
hands several times, but Pasadena’s
superior team work brought it to the
Angelenos’ twelve yard line where
Shlaudeman proceeded to boot over a
pretty drop kick for three more points.
Bob’s feat was quite a surprise as
none of the rooters suspected his abil¬
ity as a toe artist. Before the quarter
ended, Wally again helped himself to
a Poly pass, this time dodging past
several Polyites and running thirty
yards to a touchdown. His trusty toe j
again booted the ball over the goal
posts and the score stood 24 to 6.
During the last half, many substitu¬
tions were made in the Pasadena line¬
up, and although the ball was in Poly
territory most of the time, the locals
were unable to push over another
touchdown.
The game was clean and fast thru¬
out. The work of the Bulldog eleven
showed a great improvement over that
in the Chaffey game, the line playing
together like one man while the back-
field hit the opposing line lower and
harder than ever.

The Y. M. C. A. campaign recently
held was a decided success. The sub¬
scribers totaled some seven hundred.
Representatives from school were ex¬
cused twenty minutes early and they
canvassed the town divided into teams-
About twenty five per cent of the
total number secured were High
School students. In a few months it
is believed that the able “Y” ins¬
tructors will have turned out men that
may vie with any Achilles in the
state.
My, how great was the exciement
around the school when it was an¬
nounced that the Freshman-Senior
Party was near at hand. Such whis¬
pering and gossiping you never heard
and such mysterious meetings in Miss
Clarke’s room. And then when Friday,
November second, came at last and with
it the grand party how many Oh’s and
Ah’s were heard around school. The
different classes each contributed their
share of the amusement and they were
both amusing and educational (?).
The Juniors came first with a clever
ittle stunt rendered by Martha Curtiss,
as a strict governess, and Dott Russell
as a spoiled child. My, how thankful
must be the faculty to think they
haven’t many of these very spoilt chil¬
dren in their midst.
The Sophomores came next, and they
presented Katherine Edwards at the
piano. She gave a number of delight¬
fully rendered piano solos which were
a joy to hear.
The Applied Experimental First Aid
to Beauty act given by the Freshmen
was certainly rare. When anyone
needs a hairdress, manicure, tapering
finger, summer complexions removed,
or a French wave, just apply to the
Freshman girls. This act was very
unique and original and brought peals
of laughter from the audience.
While last, but not least, came the
Senior girls in a most romantic and
tragic scene entitled “Lord Allin’s
Daughter.” This little Scotch play
told of the romantic elopement of a
beautiful young lassie, none other than
Eunice Perkins, with her sweetheart.
Ruth Dorn sat in a wonderful new make
believe wicker boat, while the husky
boatman, Dorothy Nay, rowed with all
his strength, and when at last the poor
heart-broken father, Margaret Bra-
vinder, dashed out but too late to cap¬
ture his daughter, as at this critical
moment the two mysterious Spirits of
the Storm, Lulu Brown and Marjorie
Test, finally overcame this runaway
pair and they were sent to a sorrowful
grave. Many were the tears of the
audience when this story came to its
tragic ending. Margaret Davis read
the story in a most interesting way.
Helen Parker, Vice President, then
spoke and thanked the girls who had
made this party such a success.
After these little playlets, the girls
all adjourned to the east roof where
games and refreshments were enjoyed.
The girls were each given a slip of
Ben Greet Shakespearian
Players to Present the
Famous Classic
High School Auditorium Is
to Be Scene of Big
Performance
^Friday night, November 9, P. H. S.
is going to have the honor of witness¬
ing a play given by one of the greatest
living authorities of the English Drama-
The play to be given is Shakespeare’s
Merchant of Venice,” under the ex¬
cellent leadership of Mr. Ben Greet.
Mr. Greet has been active in stage
work for thirty years and has trained
personally a great many actors.
Because of this experience he has
become one of the greatest authorities
in Shakespearean drama of today,
having gained for himself the reputa¬
tion of being the most prominent
leader of that work in England. The
success of his annual plays in
“Shakespeare’s England,” is without
question, while the audiences which
witnessed his play in New York and
through the entire east, guarantee his
popularity.
The most interesting fact about
these plays is the way in which they
are produced, showing only the
actual settings and costumes that
were used in Shakespeare’s time.
The play is to be given under the
auspices of the Shakespeare Club
that has made arrangements for a
greatly reduced price on the tickets
for High School students only. The
regular price of
Ъ0ф,
15<f and $1, but a
special rate of 25
ф
has been offered
to the High School, making it a
wonderful chance for all students to
see a real Shakespearean Drama for
practically nothing.
The announcement of the ticket
sale will be made in assembly.

On Saturday, Pomona and Redlands
clashed on the former’s gridiron with
the result that the Pomonons overran
their opponents 47 to 0. As the score
indicates, the game was a cinch for
Pomona, who started the slaughter at
the first whistle and continued until
the beginning of the third quarter,
when Redlands picked up and came
back with some hard but useless fight¬
ing. The stars in Pomona’s lineup
were Kirkpatrick, Nesbitt, and Cap
tain Reeder. 20 points of the score
were made in the first quarter.
The customary board of directors in
the shape of the Junior Board of Trade
is soon to be elected.
The Board of Trade has been a fix¬
ture in the school for the past four
years, working in co-operation with
the officers of the Commercial Club.
The purpose of the board is to act as
an executive body in matters interest¬
ing to commercial students.
Out of all the commercial classes
29 candidates were nominated, nine of
which are to be elected, four as Com¬
mercial Club officers, and the remain¬
ing five acting as members of the Jun
ior Board of Trade.
Tomorrow is the day set for the
election of officers and all commercial
students are urged to cast their bal¬
lots.
Commercial students are evincing
enthusiasm in both the club and Board
of Trade, which is a good indication
of the work to be accomplished during
the year.
The following is the list of candi¬
dates whose names will appear on the
ballots tomorrow:
Harold Aiken, Ross Anderson, Alice
Carroll, Roscoe Cline, Carl Croft,
Harry Day, William De Lapp, Donald
Doolittle, Carl Du Nah, Carl Freeman,
Iry Green, Lyle Hackney, Russell
Johnson, Emmett Jones, Elizabeth
Lloyd, Stella Metz, Liela Painter, War¬
ren Parmelee, Ralph Randle, Edwin
Sherman, Helen Short, Carl Steele,
Verna Williamson, Oscar Thorngren,
Edwin Whitehouse, Howard Wilson,
Newell Woodworth, Grant Worley, and
Franklin Wright,
How happy will be the hearts of 180
aviators when they receive the bounti¬
ful 180 donations of the Aviation De¬
partment of the Girls’ League. The
response to this call was splendid, and
the result is that there will be a very
grateful and almost merry Christmas
for some lonely aviators “somewhere
in France.” The cheery boxes were
composed of candy, nuts, raisins, and
other non-perishable foods. The arti¬
cles were Christmas-like in their wrap¬
pings of white tissue paper and red
ribbon, and made one’s heart glad to
see them. What a fine work this has
been, and the happiness each will
bring to some aviator doing his “bit”
for his country is not necessary to
state. The committee, with Margaret
Freue, chairman, and Miss Shopbach
deserves a great deal of credit and the
success of this work is surely theirs.
The Girls’ League is remarkably active
in this as well as in many other lines.
Marie Blick is general chairman of the
Civics work of which the Aviation De¬
partment is a branch.

tion” with representatives from
all the prominent schools of
Southern California, meete for
their regular semi-annual con¬
vention to be held at P. H. S.
This is an important honor and
a genuine reception should be
given.
Today Pasadena High School is host
to delegates representing practically
all of the High School Publications in
Southern California. The occasion is
the semi-annual convention of the
Southern California Student Press
Association, an organization compos¬
ed of representatives from school
publications south of the Tehachipi
Twice a year this association holds
a meeting at one of the different
schools for the purpose of exchanging
ideas and promoting an aquaintance
between the different editors and
managers.
Beginning at nine o’clock, the arriv¬
ing delegates will be met by Chroni¬
cle staff members and conducted
around the school until the General
Assembly at 10:30. At this meeting
the entire school as well as the dele¬
gates, will listen to Mr. Leslie Henry’s
talk on “High School Journalism” and
will also be entertained by several
musical numbers. Then the delegates
will adjourn to a luncheon in the East
Cafeteria under the direction of the
Girls’ League.
After luncheon the convention
proper will be held in the Music Hall
where a short program of student
speeches will be given, followed by the
semi-annual business session of the
Association. This session will prob¬
ably be over by three o’clock and the
delegates will then depart for their
different places of residence.
Throughout the entire day the
Chronicle and Item staffs will he oa
hand to see to the entertainment of the
delegates, and a Special Information
Bureau will be established in the main
hall to which any visitors who stray
from the beaten path may repair for
guidance. The faculty members ofi
the delegations will be received by
Miss Wolfe and Mr. Jackson who will
see that these older visitors will not
be forgotten in the rush of arrivals.
Delegates are coming all the way
from San Diego and Santa Barbara to
attend the convention as well as the
Citrus schools, Long Beach, the city
schools, etc. The Pasadena Chronicle
staff is working hard to make the
convention a success and to send the
delegates home with some real benefit
gained from their attendance.
The first commercial club meeting
of the year was held last Wednesday
after school. Irye Townsend, acting
as temporary chairman called the
meeting to order.
Plans for the coming year were
outlined by Mr. Lewis who also spoke
on the Club, in the past. A committee
of three was appointed to take charge
of the nominations for the Junior
Board of Trade. The Junior Board
of Trade, will be selected in the same
manner as in previous years, same to
consist of nine members, four of
these to be officers of the Club. Meet¬
ings are to be held in the future, once
a month. With the co-operation of
the student, the Club should have
a successful year.

something of real value from
them.
