4 THE SPADE DAY The traditional spade, in the care of the spade gua1'ds, together with the football squad, came once again before the assembled student body for the annual football Spade Rally that is held before each game with Technical high school, on Friday, October 22. VVarren Andresenas jazz orches- tra, The Ambassadors,w offered musical selections which were fol- lowed by a spirit raising talk by blr. Elwood Lyman, coach of the squad. ' A skit on Egyptian football, written by Harold Cooper, was presented by the Aladdin company, of Student Body night fame, showing how the students in Egyptian high schools won their big games. A bleacher stunt for the after- noonis contest, that was played on the opponentis field, was explain- ed by Freeman Nichols, yell lead- er, after which a new Cub yell was introduced. Cheering concluded the event, which was held to give the winning team a send-off. During the regular auditorium period and at noon, Blue and Gold bleacher caps were sold to the students by members of the Girls, PIEDMONT GAME In all of Noah Webster's great book there is probably no word that can quite do justice to the manner in which the Cubs beat Piedmont high. After four triumphant years, during which time no Oak- la.nd high school had succeeded in even scoring on the Highlanders, Piedmont finally succumbed to the fighting squad of gridsters from University to the tune of '13-0. Starting in the second quarter, when Kenny Gibson, the New lliexico flash, scooped up a fumble and raced sixty yards for Unis first touchdown, the ultimate out- come of the game was never much in doubt. Harry Butler added more to the afternoon's entertain- ment when in the fourth canto he ran away from Piedmont,s ends for a space of twenty yards, ending up on the favorable side of the Highland goal line for another six points. Roscoe Spike', Peart, star quarterback, converted after the second score, to add an extra point. Lloyd-Gee, this floor is slip- pery. It's hard to keep on your feet. Irma-You're doing pretty well, league. These caps were worn all Lloyd. day by the student body and after -- school at the game. Additional Sports on Page 48 30

RICHMOND GAME Despite the fact that University was beaten in her first game of the season by Richmond high, 13-6, the brand of football displayed by the home team was none the less encouraging to the Cub support- ers. . In the eourse of the game, which was played on Teeh's field, Uni made eleven first downs to her op- ponents' two, to say nothing of re- covering a few fumbles. Had it not been for some blocked kicks, the Blue and Gold team would in all probability have come out on top. Butler's last quarter run net- ted the lone tally. The work of DuFrane and Smith in the line and of Gibson in the baekfield was especially fine, although the whole team worked together Well. MISSION GAME In sweet retaliation for the 26-0 defeat suffered last year, Univers- ity won a bitterly fought game from lNIission high, of San Fran- eiseo, at Ewing Field, by the score of 2-0. A drop-kick by Spike, Peart, star quarterback, from the 40 yard line, fell short of the goal by a few feet. The hlission safety man, hoping to make the ball go out of bounds, kicked it as it came to him, but it went over his own goal line instead. He reeoveredit, but was caught by Uni's charging line, and the resulting two points were enough to Win the game. Dana Long's punting was one of the brightest individual features ofthe game, while Tiedeman main- tained a good quality of work in the line. 29 ,,Li.J
