Christmas Football
Western ways prevailed on a San Francisco gridiron as the allstar Eastern team lost loosely to Pacific players in the name of Christmas charity. To be sure, the triumph of Far Western football was slightly alloyed by the potent presence in their line-up of Joel Hunt from the Texas Aggies. Hunt scored a touchdown three minutes after the game began and stopped a punch on the jaw from Weinstock, Western Maryland tackle, just before it ended. Weinstock was ejected from the game. Between these Eastern mishaps the West scored another touchdown and a safety, the East one touchdown. Score 16 to 6.
The same Christmas Monday other Westerners lost to a star Southern team in a drizzle at Los Angeles 0 to 8.
