To provide entertainment and recreation for, and to bring out the hidden tab ents of Colonials, student talent assemblies are given at regular intervals, under the supervision of the Assistant Lord High Commissioner. The first program of the semester on October 13th featured impersonations of well known screen stars by members of the B drama classes. Displaying a line and backfield, much improved since the L.A. High contest the week previous, the lightweights swamped Lincoln, 19'0, on Van Cleve field on Oc' tober 13. This was the first victory for Fairfax since the winning of the champion ship in 1930. With the line opening big holes for the ball carrier, the backfield crashed over for three touchdowns. Leo Passin scored a touchdown and converted while Stan Cohen accounted for two touchdowns. The playing of the Colonial play' ers was so evenly matched, that no one player stood out. Girls’ Assize Court Bark How; Lift to Right: Bettye Jane Taylor. Dorothy Ranns. June Erb. Barbara Walker.

in hie Fairfax played on even terms with Lincoln in the opening half, and then after giving all they had during the first two quarters, folded up, permitting the Tigers to shove over four touchdowns and two conversions in the second half. Captain Walt Elliot played a brilliant game for Fairfax. Battling to stay in the race for the championship, the Class C team received a jolt on October 20, when Franklin held the little Colonials on Van Cleve field to a scoreless tie. Both teams missed numerous chances to score. Franklin had the ball on Fairfax's one foot line as the game ended. Almost, but not quite, was the case as Fairfax lost its third game of the year, dropping a 6-0 decision to Manual Arts on the Toilers' field on October 21. Fairfax played a great game, although outweighed and outclassed, and held its own through- out the contest, except for a brief pause in the second quarter, when Manual shoved over its score. Penalties hurt the scoring chances of the Colonials. The excellent punting by Bud Anderson, and the brilliant line play by Bob Reed, were outstanding. Time after time Anderson punted his team out of danger, and kept the Toilers in hot water throughout tht game with his lengthy punts. One of his kicks was good for 70 yards, another for 80. » i Fairfax puts up a stubborn defense against the Romans [ 22]
