LONG BEACH-BULLDOG GRIDIRON EDITION

PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, NOVEMBER 17, 1922
No. 11
LB. CUE HERE TOO
“Is this a film studio in- action?”
sprang from the lips of a passerby
at P. H. S. on Wednesday. On the
grounds and in the halls of the
stately granite school frolicked
hundreds of humorously absurd
figures in the chested finery of
former days. It was “Old Clothes
Day,” the fete day of autumn.
The costumes of this first mag¬
nitude fall event of the school, gen¬
erally rediculous, convulsed pupils
and teachers. Classes were con¬
ducted in carnival atmosphere, and
when the school day closed, stu¬
dents hurried home to hasty din¬
ners, in order to return for the
bonfire in the evening. Climaxing
the moving gaiety was the monster
“old clothes parade” of the entire
student body.
Pupils Transformed
In costuming the gamut of de¬
cent home-concocted outfits was
run. An office injunction had
banned costumes of the opposite
sex, and forbidden all pajamas.
Tall girls wore socks, “Mary
Jones” hair bows, and curls, and
fondled dolls. Quaint figures in
silks and bonnets a la mode of the
first of the century, pironetted up
and down with little parasols, and
grotesquely huge 1922 vanity
trunks. Stiff pigtails, thrust from
beneath hard, flat, narrow-brimmed
hats designated a hundred “Sis
Hopkins.” “Sunbonnet Sues” pac¬
ed arm in arm with European peas¬
ant girls, and attractively tattered
slum beauties, with green and pur¬
ple plumes at rakish angles on red
hats.
Among the boys, shieks strolled
with Prince Albert coated minister¬
ial figures. Faces never touched
by a razor bore heavy beards, or
the upper lip carried a dainty “little
don’t touch,” Valintino impersona¬
tions vied with those of country
Oh Girls, Look Here!
“Fore! Oh dear, that was a
poor drive. I do believe this
pink sweater is to blame for my
hard luck.”
No, they aren’t members of
the faculty out at Annadale, but
honest-to-goodness girls in a
Physical Education class on the
“green” of the gym floor, where
golf is now being taught to all
feminine aspirants. The dates
have been set for Mondays and
Thursdays after sixth period for
instructions in the art of “cow
pasture billiards.” Sticks are
furnished by the school.
Come on you lady golfers.

swains for popularity. Enormous
“small boys” stretched from velvet
Funteroy suits, with lace Van
Dyke collars, huge bows, but with
surprising hairy legs blackening
above white socks. The mouths of
“hicks” and “silk hat” dandies sag-
egd with all varieties of smokeless
pipes, and licorice cigars. Alpine
shepherds,, wiskered Bolsheviki,
veterans of every U. S. war since,
the Revolution, cow boys, and .black
chimney sweeps, called jocose

In a month of rehearsals under
Miss £. E. Keppie, the Mask and
Mirror Dramatic Club has produc¬
ed a finished product in their com¬
edy, “The Wren,” which is to be
presented this evening in the
»
i li-
lorium at 8:30.
True to a Booth Tarkington play,
the characters are well developed.
Seven members of the M. and M.
will tak the parts of these tonight.
The Cast
Captain Olds, a proud, but kindly
brusque old sea dog, who has had
a stroke, and is rather proud of it,
is the owner of a small hotel on the
New England Coast. The part is
very well presented by Archie Eck-
dale. Although the captain likes
to find fault, he is very proud of
his daughter, Seeby, and her abil¬
ity. Vera Pratt is the quiet, un¬
assuming, trustful daughter of
Cap’n Olds, and is also the man¬
ager of the hotel, of her father,
and of the servants. The part of
one of the latter, a rather pathetic
and unenergetic porter, is played
by Emil Mordhart. Mrs. Freehart,
alias Adelaide Mack, is another one
of those lifeless, colorless individ¬
uals, much given over to gossip.
The guests include Mr. Frazee, a
well-to-do business man of strength
and decision, otherwise known as
Paul Mathewson. His frivolous
wife, Edith Peterson, and Mr. Rod¬
dy, a temperamental young artist,
who is not much of a painter and
who is somewhat lacking in back¬
bone, is represented by Watson
Partridge.

Reserved seats at 35c and 50c

Victory or defeat?
The great day has come, and
with it the anual question. Will
the Red and White taste of victory,
or be trampled to the ground by the
enemy, Long Beach? Will Pasa¬
dena once again wear the crown
of su-premacy, or must she wait
still another year?
This afternoon, on Horrell Field,
two teams will meet in combat, one
representing Long Beach Polytech¬
nic High School, and the other,
Pasadena High School, the two
most ancient gridiron foes.
The emblems for the two schools
are well chosen, the Jackrabbit and
the Bulldog. The Jackrabbit char¬
acterizes the spread and dash of
Long Beach, the spectacular scores,
the dazzling plays, and the slick
team-work. And then the Bull¬
dog, that powerful animal that rep¬
resents the fighting spirit of Pasa¬
dena, the steady playing, and that
grim determination to hang on
against great odds.
There is no denying, Long Beach
has a wonderful team; they always
have a good team. Never yet have
they turned out an eleven that
would not do credit to any school
in the country. They seem to have
an abundanc of star players whom
they can call on each year to lead
their teams to victory. All the
Southern California schools are
worried when their schedule calls
for a game with the Jackrabbits.
In short, Long Beach is feared
throughout the Southland for its
deadly football team.
This sounds as though it is im¬
possible to defeat the Sea-siders.
They have been defeated already
this year and can be defeated
again. Nothing is impossible in
the football line.
High in League
It is true that Long Beach stands
higher than Pasadena in this year’s
league rating, but they have been
able to do this partly because they
have run up against weaker teams
than those on the P. H. S. schedule.
Pasadena defeated L. A.; L. A.
defeated Long Beach, therefore,
theoretiealy, Pasadena should win
from Long Beach. However, the
great dope was upset in the game
THEY’RE RARIN’ TO FIGHT
with Manual; one cannot depend on
it.
Long Beach has a wicked aerial
attack, so it is said, and usually
gains nicely on long end runs. At
line bucking, they have Mattson,
who plays quarter and directs his
team with great ability. Then
there are the shifty
ШП
brothers,
A1 and Don, who are playing half.
They were exceptional players last
year and still retain their speed
and ability to shake off opponents
Bering, at fullback, runs a fine in¬
terference and is good at line
smashing. The three main stars
in the front bank are Drury, Price,
and Babcock, who with Tandy, Lev,
Wallace, and Anderson have shown
that they can withhold the strong
attacks of much heavier teams.
The punting is done by Drury, who
has a good record. He is also not¬
ed for his ability to grab passes.
As a whole, the team has a strong
reputation.
Pasadena has an all-star back-
field squad of seven members.
With O’Conner piloting, and “Dig-
ley,” Novis, Scoville, and Downs
for halves, and Coffeen at full, it
looks like a mighty set.
When it comes to punting, Pasa-
dana has three neat kickers to call
upon in the persons of Coffeen, Orr,
and Downs.
The “stone wall” is built around
“Fat” Martin, and “Tex” Crow who
could stop an army themselves.
Alongside of them will be either
Fouche or El. McClelland, Clark
and Orr. The ends will be filled by
A1 Thorngren and “Serib” Birlen-
bach.
Those who would have entered
the game, but are out on account of
injuries are, Paul Bye, “Cannon
Ball” Cockburn, and Royal Chap
man.
Coach Griffith and the boys are
silent about the game, but it is cer¬
tain they are determined to win.
If the Red and White gridders play
