The forty-five piece orchestra carried the work. which an opera of such a high type demands. in very commendable style. Almost half of the entire opera was devoted to orchestral numbers, the most outstanding being the 'finale of the hrst act. The flutes played an impor- tant and pleasing part of the orches- tration. ln addition to carrying its solo parts. the orchestra provided complete accom- paniment for all solos and choruses in the opera. The music from Hosti- mundeu is purely characteristic of Schuberfs style. being full of melodies. Those in orchestra arc: l.eif An- drews. Ernest Haumann. Eugent Hovee. Hessie Huchanan.

The hands of hoth schools paraded on the field, exchanging school song courtesies. After the parade they halted in front of the flag pole for a llag-raising cere- mony, an innovation presented for the first time at an intra-city foothall clash.

Stromlund. Rilunos. Crippen. and Wveir on the line, while the hackfield quartet consisted of Rasmussen, Muth, Showal- ter, and Kriss. The Eastmen surprised the six thousand foothall fans hy out- playing the rival Central team. who had heing slated to trounce them. Although heing outplayed, Central capitalized on two breaks, which gave them a 13-0 victory. Central's touch- downs were the result of a hlocked place kick and a fumhled punt. Much credit was given to our hoys for hold- ing this powerful aggregation as close as they did, and for making more first downs than their heavier opponents. East made more yardage in hoth passing and running plays. Thorpe, Arnold, and Marple saw a good deal of action hecause of injuries received hy Showalter, Crippen. and Gregalunias. Doidge, Needham, and R. Anderson also saw some action. j-'ki' ffQfflI1if'Cj r .. j l K 'va l , ! lx j 2 Y Y n . E 4.5 l ' .
