NEGROES PLAYGAME
OF FOOTBALL?
Contest at Fair Grounds
Would Have Surprised
Rules Committee.

PLENTY OF OFFICIALS
Only One Squabble, But. It
Was a Long DrawkrOut
me.
"Whoop-ee. there he goes!, Sic 'em,
boy. Look at hfm run! Get back on
'them sidelines. Say, get off that
field!"
It was at a football game yesterday
between negro teams the Columbia
Stars and the elevent of the Lincoln
Institute of Jefferson City . Th$ game
was plajed at the Fair Grounds and
the score was 20 to 6 in favor of the
institute
Both teams did some remarkable
playing and if they ailed to adhere
strictly to the accepted rules and reg
ulations, no one seemed the worse off.
Of the four t or, five hundred wno
saw the game at' least fifty were
white.
Plenty ef Officials
O.Ticials there were In abundance.
If the head linesman disagreed with
the decision of the referee, he ran
out on the field to tell him so and a
general debate would follow. Or, if
a player thought the line was
stretched half-an-inch to much one
way or another, he called time out
until he had the matter adjusted or
at least argued.
A long Tun was a joy for all and
enthusiasm ran high regardless of
who did the running. The rooters
from the institute were well armed
with megaphones.
When the teams lined up for the
kick-off it was apparent that the Col
umbians presented the greatest. va
riety in costumes. The full back had
a Missouri arm band sewed on his
gray jersey. His socks were scarlet
and white. Another player wore a
black sweater adorned with a large
skull and cross bones of old gold felt.
Pads there were enough for two or
dinary teams. Large nose guards and
shin pads were also worn.
Forward Pass Works
The Jefferson City team worked
several forward passes , and trick
plays. Their little quarterback ran
his team with coolness and accuracy.
Toward the end of the game, when
Columbia had given up hope, a vo
ciferous enthusiast yelled: "Kill that
quarterback and I'll give you a dime.
Kill him, boy, and that ten cents am
yours." However, the little quarter
continued to live.
The fight came in the end of the (
'
third quarter. The war clouds had
been hancinc; low for some time. But
a touchdown made by an Institute
player after the Columbians contend
ed the whistle had been blown was j
too much to be overlooked. The run
ner was Hnwnod hpliind tlin trnal line'.

amirably as might be expected under
the circumstances.
SAXDV SOIL IV AX EXPERIMENT
Tests Will Up Made on Field In Sontli
eastern Missouri.
The University of Missouri will es
tablish an experiment field near Mor
lev in Southeistern Missouri. Prof.
5!. F. Miller of the agronomy depart
ment s'ipiu last week inspecting the
'and in that part of the state and se
leed the field.
The soil in this field is ery sindv '
and i used extensively in the raising,
o' ivatcrinclons. It is also used for
proujiiir wheat and cowpeas. Both
crops can be secured in one season
from the same land. Mr. Miller sivS
trere is a large tract of this land.
Since it is xrr sandy, it needs par
ticular soil management, and for this
reason it was selected as the locnt'on
f an experiment field. There is a
frav soil in that section also, which
the 1'nixersity evpects to make some
experiments with.
Professor Miller spoke at a far

Indications are that the attendance.
at the short course in Agriculture
I this year will be greater than last'
The inquiries regarding the course
have been nearly doube that of last
year. The large corn crop may keep
some away from the first term, Is the
opinion of A. J. Meyer, in charge of
the short course. Howeier, the at
tendance at the second term ough"t to
be much larger, as the big corn crop
will be gathered by that time. This
year for the first time the Frisco and
Santa Fe railroads do not offer schol
arshaps. This is expected to reduce
the attendance slightly. The first
term begins November 4.

GREEK BRIGANDS
"SERIAL" ASSEiLI
Professor Miller Finds Story
of Adventures Tod Long
for one Hour.
"TO BE CONTINUED'.1
.L'. 'z
Thursday He Will f ett1iH
Army at Athens.
The story of some ten very event
ful days in which he was robbed' aad
left for dead, returned to life, -M
made a' captain in the Greek army.S&il
-captured
his former captors, was t0
much for Prof. Walter Miller to. tel:
in one assembly hour. Next Thurs
day he will tell how he became a cap-'
tain in the Greek army. This morn
ing he told all except the captain
part.
The story told at assembly this
morning goes back to the student
days of Professor Miller at the Ameir-
lean School of Classical Studies at
Athens in' "1886. One June morning
Miller, the student, left Athens to go
on foot through the northern part of
Greece, and eventually on to Constan
tinople to study the classical archae
ology of the ancient country.
On the third day of his journey he
fell in with two Albanians. As lie
naa always iouna the Greeks very
hospitable, hts suspicious were not
aroused as to the real designs of his
two traveling companions till one of
them took him by the throat. Then
the American made use of his foot-
bal1 experience and planted a heel in
tne I"1 or one or the Greeks stomach:
Tne onIv 8erius thing the blow did
was to bring the brigand back with'
a club and Miller was knocked uncon
scious. Awakening in the evening the vis-
tim of the Albanian brigands wentj.fc mect ,aat Wedne3day afterIioon
