Baylor’s defeat of Rice was expected,
few followers of football expected
to be so big. Bradshaw, BUi
*°*k and Tanner, the crack barkfield
Wen on the Bears’ team, simply carried
**f kail down the field for touchdowns,
and the wonderful kicking toe of Brad
•kaw, all-southwestern quarterback Is^t
counted for extra points.

®trery year it is being shown more
Conclusively that not all the foothill
talent of the world is walled along the
Atlantic seaboard. The two team*
coached by the Jones brothers, met in

Marling* n will journey to Brownsville
***| Friday and the football game will
again be played on the home field. Al
though the Harlingen team was defeated
kjr McAllen, stil the score was close, and
from the closeness of the game between

la prophesied for Friday.

Stephens, tackle on the Brownsville
kigh school team, will probably come
out in uniform today for the first time
In more than a week, and may be able
to appear in the lineup in the next
scheduled game, S eve is one of the
moat valuable men in the line, and al
w*ft » ftuod game throughout the
four quarters. His presence in the line- I
up will materially strengthen the
Brownsville line.

So far this season Brownsville has not
scored a point on the drop or place kick
method from play. The Biownsville
eleven ha« not tried thin system much. I
but from failure to drop kick goal for ]
tbe extra point it I* easy to see that '
the leant has not developed much in this
line. San Be’ ito is reputed to have a
*r*cb dr«»p kicker, and this may develop
Into a dangerous method of scoring. A
•ure drop kicker or place kicker can 1
■CQre from any place around the thirty
five yard I tie, when his team mate* i
cannot go through the line for more
r»'ns.

A still more accurate comparison of
tha strength of San Benito and Browns

field.

An All-American baseball team is to I
make a tour of the Orient, to show the

inhabitants of those countries some of
the fine points of the American nation* I

pitchers, will probably compose the
hurling staff. Most of the other players
aie not first stringers in either of the
leagues.

Now that we have a good football
| park, it should be fixed up in style with
bleacher seals, a fence on the ins.de,
1 around the field itself so that players
w.ll not be bothered by fans, and made
into a first clu'S athletic field.

Porter, the crack catcher on the

San Benito City Team :t4, Fori Brown !
0.
Before a fair-sixed crowd the city I
fothall team of Sun Benito beat th«
Fort Brown team 34 to 0 yesterday on |
the Sa i Benito fie'.d.
Showing the lark of practice and
team work, the Fort Brown and city
team of San Benito put up a fairly good
exhibition of foot Lull, though the more
experienced and faster San Benito team
was too strong a combination for the
soldier*.
Resorting to the aerial route practi
cally most of the game, the Saints pull
ed some beautiful passes, Saunders to
Woods, and N'orris to Slewart. The sol
diers also resorted to the aerial route
on numerous occasions, and made some
big gains via this route.
('allahan proved a good ground ga’ner
for Fort Brown, while the San Benito
backfield men worked well. Saunders
and Norris were the outstanding stars,
while Knd men Stewart ami Bill Woods
proved to he classy in their position*.
In the first few minutes of play the

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE
TO OPEND STOCKYARDS
IN THE CITY OF MEXICO
MtAllU CITY, Oct. 1G.—Ap
poximateiy 1,000 head of cattle,
hogs, sheep and goat* are killed for
meat in Mexico City daily, and of
this number at least 08 percent are
imported from either the United
States or Argentina. Seventy per
cent of the imported stock comes
from the United States, usually four
day* by train from the border, and
the remainder is brought from South
America on steamers that traverse
the distance between Buenos Aires
and Veracruz in 17 days. In view
of these figures J. F. Primm and Lee
Rush?!), both well known rattle men
of the southwest, are just complet
ing a stock)ard here which at pre
sent has a capacity of 7,GOO head of
stock and cun be enlarged as neces
sity demnads.
The stockyards, the first of the
kind ever established in Mexico on
modern pluns, adjoins the city
slaughter nens and a working agree
ment ha been made whereby all of
the city kill is first received in the
local yards and there prepared for
market. Cold storage is an un
known thing in Mexico, the natives
preferring their meat fresh killed,
but according to Mr. Primm. who is
in active charge of the yards, a stor
age plant will be started as soon as
the other enterprises are safely on
their feet.
The inauguration of the American
owned stockyard* is said by its back
ers to be the forerunner of an earn
est attempt by United States stock
men to replenish the Mexican herds
that have been depleted by years of
revolution. • A bramlt of the Pure
Bred I .ive E.ock Assoiiation of the
Unite*} State* has been established in
Mexico City and is offering its ser
vice free of charge to rancher* and
' farmers in the selection of pure bred
animals.
Acordinjj to best available figures
there were some lo.0U0.000 native i
cattle in Mexico before the revolu-1
tion which started ten years ago. I
There are leas than 0,000,000 now,!
and. these are of low grade. Before
' tie revolution conservative estimate
say there were 40.000.000 sheep and
goats compared to the scant 7,000,
000 now roaming the hills. Hog rais
ing has always been neglected und
the number of swine in the coun
try is almost negligible. Indicative
of the natives nreference for meats
other than pork is the fact that out
of the 1,000 animals killed in Mexico
City daily, less than 50 arc hogs—,
and these to supply a city of a mil-,
lion inhabitants. ,
In order ot facilitate shipments!
from the United States and to off-1
set heavy consignments from Ar
gentina, which are growing every |
month, American cattle men have
seerred numerous concessions from
the Mexican government whereby
animals may be brought into Mexico
with a minimum of difficulty. In
spection regulations have been re
lat'd as much as posdble. and the
railroads are making serious efforts
to move stock trains on express
schedule.
Strange as it may seem, Argen
tina cattle can be shipped to Mex
ico City cheaper than can animals
from south Texas, although the for
mer stock does not compare in
duality with that from the United
States. Catle shipments from all
foreign countries to Mexico during
1921 were more than 168,000 head
of which 140,000 came from south
Texas.
Proves An Efficient
Snake Dance Artist
Guy Trent, member of the inaur

best known baaehall enthusiasts of
the alley, proved his efficiency at
“snake dancing“ yesterday afternoon
at San Benito, when he lead a snake
dame between halve* at the San
Benito-Fort Brown football game.
A ntgro sitting in a far comer up
on seeing Guy at the head of the rol
umn remarked. “Mr. Trent sho’ do
have de wiggle."

The San Benito team is composed
mainly of former high school players,
und to »ay that they have the making
of a good town football team is true. 1
Karl Reed is manager of the Saints
city football team, and hopes to arrange
games with all teams in the Valley.
The game was cleanly played, and the
soldiers' efforts were given a good hand
by the Ran Benito fans.
Man -ger Reed stated yesterday that
uniforms had been ordered and th s week
he intended having his men practice 1
daily. "It is a start," sa d Reed, "and i
with ihe support of the fans we believe
that every town in the Valley will put
out a town football team."

Five Year Quest
for Perfect Foot
Complete Failure
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 16.—Judge
W. S. Simkins, veteran professor of
law of the University of Texas, af
ter a five year que.-t for a perfect
foot, has at la t given up in des
pair. His interest in this search was
aroused when a sculptor friend de
clared a woman's perfect foot t:>
be worth $.r»00 to him. T! e Judge
immediately betook himself to the
beach at Corpus Christi and there,
lingering near the water’s edge on
one pretense or another, he scrutin
ized with discerning eyes every pair
of feet that were at all easy to look
upon. But none even gave prom
ise of measuring up to his aesthetic
standard, and after five summers of
repeated disapr ointment he has be
come convinced that the ideal of the
perfect foot is only a myth.
"Doggone it!" he exclaimed,
"there I was in the mid't of all those
women who didn’t have on ! alf
enough in front and not half that
much behind. And not one could
show u perfect foot—but. bless pat,
if 90. per cent of ’em didn’t have
Isuch a bad attack of knocked-knce
I that I was just ashamed for th: m.
| They all appeared to be in need of
j those knee-puds—like horses wear,
i Bless my soul, it was terrible!"
The Judge was asked if he didn't
casually look ubout now and then—
i a perfect foot might step in how
I ever much unanticipated.
"Bah. no,” he replied. “There’ll
I never be another perfect foot as
I long as women bind up the'r feet
worse than the Chinese, and wear
spikes that throw the* foe»t ct mpletc
1 ly out of sha’H* and are good for
1 nothing but digging up the earth.
•No, I'm through. I’m going to re
strict my activities down there on
the beach to flirting with widow
again. That’s the best pastime, af
ter all.”

OBJECTED TO STREET i
LIGHTING PLAN IN 1816 {
CHICAGO, C't. Id.—St»»et light
n*T, now adonte I in almost every j
city, village and hamlet of the na
tion, brought out a storm of pro
test in one New Knglnad village
when it was proposed in 181fi, ac-j
cording to the Illinois Committee on
Public Utilities.
Artificial illumination was an at
tempt to interfere with the divine
plan of the world which had preor
lained that it should be dark dur
ing the night time, the local paper
pointed out editorially.
Doctors of the village said emana
tions of illuminating gas were in
jurious. Lighted streets would, in
duce people to remain late out of
doors, thus leading to an increase of
ailments by colds.
Others declared the fear of dark
ness would vanish ami drunkenness
and deers v»»v would increase. T! *y
argued that horses would be frighten
ed ami imeves embotucned.
Many argued that if streets were
illuminated every night such con
stant illumination would rob festive
occasions of their charm.
All kinds of flowers gel loved eicept
wall flowers.
\\hat is sadder than n poor imitation
of being happy.
