HIGH FOOTBALL TEAM
DETERMINED TO WIN
Smarting under the sting of last
week’s 6-0 defeat at the hands of
of the Placerville high school, the
local warriors buckled down to hard
work all this week and have the determination of taking it out on San
Juan_ High _school_of _Fair-—Oaks,
whom they play tomorrow at Fair
Oaks. "
Coach Barron; although some-.
what disappointéd with the result of
last week’s game, thinks that it may
have beén a good thing, inasmuch
as it certainly brought down the
Swelling in some of the Wiayers’
heads. After winning a game such
as the local boys did three weeks
ago against Auburn; (14-0) -it is
Sometimes almost necessary to take
one.on the chin to bring about the
Proper equilibrium. That bitter pill
has been taken—now it is up to
the team to play real ball for the
remainder of the’ season.
In the Placerville game, Chapman
had the’ misfortune to fumble a
' punt which was recovered by the
’: Placerville team. Some people are
inclined to put the blame for the
defeat on his shoulders, which’ is
wrong. Of course it was a mistake
on his part when he fumbled, but
there. is not a safety man in the
world who has not fumbled a footImmediately after that fumble, the team had the hard luck of
being penalized thirty yardg which
put the ball on the five-yard line.
And there went the old ball game.
The fact remains that Nevgda City
was not able to put over a touchdown in the remaining. 50 minutes
of play. Chapman. very nearly redeemed himself in the fourth quarter. when he ran a punt back 40
yards: to the Placerville 25-yard line.
If one of his team-mates had clipped
out the safety man it would have
been a touchdown and perhaps a victory. As it was, very good blocking was done on that play. If more
playing like that had been displayed, a much better showing would
have been made.
Oates, fullback, was the only
player to make any gains through
the Placerville line. The other
backs on end runs were handicapped
by the lack of proper interference
‘once they got beyond the line of
scrimmage. Many plays worked to
perfection up until that time. Then,
because Somebody forgot to take out
his man, the ball carrier would be
stopped. A good back can get nowhere without interference. Blocking and clipping are in fact more
important than ball packing.
Coach Barron is experiencing some
trouble in developing a man to hold
down the left end position. Tamblyn,
regular right end, is the only end
that has shown to good advantage
‘to date.
for some ambitious player to hold
down at left end. Several of the
boys trying for the job are somewhat weak at going after passes and
at breaking up interference. The
rest of the line held up fairly well
in. the Placerville game.
The backfield was very weak in
blocking for, the runners, Tuckojini, fast halfback, lost several
chances to gain because of that fact.
Double reverses worked particularly
well on execution but were not carried to a good finish.
Oates had the best of the punting

Gold! Gold! Gold! The Encyclopedia Brittannica states that gold
is a metallic chemical. element valued from the earliest ages on account of the permanency of itg color
and lustre; that gold ornaments of
great value and elaborate workmanship have been discovered on sites
belonging to the earliest known civilizations—-Minoan, Egyptian, Assyrian, Etruscan. And in ancient literature gold is the universal symbol of the highest purity and value.
In all ages it has been the measuring staff as in the Old Testament
from which we quote, ‘‘More to be
desired are they than gold, yea, than
much fine gold.’’ The very dawn
of civilization found this yellow
metal prized above any other possession. Its permanency of color
and lustre, its being the most malleable and ductile of all metals,
ideal for use in the fashioning of
objects of art and personal adorn‘ment; made of it the lode stone that
j. has ever since been the greatest
single influence upon the course of
4 the world and its people.
The New World was discovered
in the world’s quest for gold . The
Spaniards’ lust for this precious
metal brought destruction and death
to natives, individuals, families,
tribe and nations. Neither honor
nor life have counted for aught in
this mad search. It is perhapg the
irony of fate that caused the Spanish races to live for three centuries
in California without knowing that
. this precious metal lay at their very
feet; to have it found by. an Ameri}-can who had shortly before come
out from the east;*to have California forever lost to Mexico and Spain
as a result of finding this gold, in

lost their lives. _Marshall’s chance

Marshall had found gold in a
stream and there others sought it.
For one hundred miles south and
north they searched the stream beds
from the Sacramento and San Joaquin floors to their source in the
high Sierras. How long thig might
have contihued is hard to say. But
one October day in 1850 a man by
the name of George McKnight walked across what was then called Gold
Mountain on his way to Boston Ravine, now part of Grass Valley,
and stubbed his toe so hard a piece
ofrock. was dislodged. by.-hisboot:
He stopped, fascinated by the yellow glitter on the white rock that
his kick had uncovered. At that
time there were about fifteen. or
twenty cabins in Grass Valley, but
the new knowledge that gold actually came in the very rocks of the
hills spread like wildfire and by
March there were more than 150
buildings, among them _ several
stores, saloons and shops. Marshall’s discovery brought about the
great gold rush—than which there
has been in the world’s history no
more romantic movement. But the
river gold upon which this movement was founded was quickly exhausted and its effect on the welfare of California and the nation
must necessarily have) been most
transient. _M¢Knight’s discovery at
Grass Valley, on the other hgnd,
was not so spectacular but his finding of quartz gold laid the foundation for the tremendous industry of
gold mining; made of California a
great state and materially helped
the United States to become a world
power, Today the spot is marked
by a granite monument, set upon
ancient rock and, cement foundation
with rust encrusted iron bolts still
pointing skyward and topped with a
great chunk of gold bearing quartz.
