SACRED HEART, 0 We played the fifth game of the season with the Sacred Heart College 140- pound team, on October the twenty-first. Our team was badly broken up by the loss of Sutton, Abbott and Greenbaum. Sutton was laid up with scarlet fever, Abbott had a bad wrist and Greenbaum an injured ankle.

Drum, right tackle, Blake, right end, Folger, quarter, Atkinson, left half, Wheeler, fullback, and Mailliard, right half. The team work was poor.

Folger, by two end runs and one line smash by Mailliard, made a touchdown after fifteen minutes of play. Wheeler kicked goal. Sacred Heart, by end runs and forward passes, brought the ball to our twenty-yard line, but could go no further. The playing went back and forth until the end of the game, but no more touchdowns were made.

OAKLAND ALL-STARS, 6 On October theitwenty-sixth the 125-pound team played the Oakland All-Stars at the Bay View Playgrounds, in Oakland.

MARY'S, 7 On October the seventeenth our 125-pound team met St. Mary's third team on our field. This was the Hrst game of the second team and the playing was poor.
