One week from yesterday In Houw
ton the A. and M. College football
team and the eleven from the Univer
sity of Oklahoma will clash for grid
Iron honors in the most important
game of the season in Texas, or per
haps IsVthe Southwest. Both institu
tions have unusually strong teams,
and the contest premises to be a bat
tle royal from start to finish. Coach
Koran has built up a powerful foot
ball machine that has overwhelmed
every team met to date. The Farm
ers' goal line has not been crossed,
. while they have piled up a total of
193 points, scoring 50 points against
Daniel Baker, 53 against Trinity, 27
against Arkansas, and 57 against Aus
tin College. Coach Bennle Owen's
Sooners swept the field last season,
and he has practically the same team
this season.
Both teams have seasoned men for
the backfleld positions, and when they
line up against each other at Houston
ft will be Greek meet Greek. Reeds
and Courtwrlght are Sooner veterans
who made the All-Southwestern team
In 1912. Armbruster is playing bis
fourth year at quarter. Weedon and
Rogers are both experienced full
backs. Pitted against them on the
Farmers' side will be Captain Bell,
Beasley, Bateman, Vesmlrovsky, and
Kern, all of whom have proved irre
sistible in the games played to date.
Kern, Bateman and Beasley are play
lng their third-year careers on the
- gridiron this season. Courtwrlght and
Vesmlrovsky are the mainstays for
punting on their respective teams, and
supporters of the local eleven have no
doubt of "Ves " ability to outdistance
his opponent in the event of a punting
duel.
The entire cadet corps will accom
pany the team to Houston on special
trains, and will give a parade through
the streets of the city in the morning
before the game.

EUROPE CONSIDERING
DIPLOMATIC SITUATION
, London, Nov. 5. In the absence of
news of fighting In the Balkans4, Eu
rope Is considering the diplomatic sit
uation. Although all the powers have
not replied to Turkey's appeal fof
mediation, it was nowhere received In
the form of a petition, and a more
definite request from Turkey, it is
expected, would likely have received
more consideration. The powers can
not, however,' overlook the Balkan na
tions' demand that Turkey must deal
directly with them.
Nothing has been heard today from
the Turks at Tchatalia. They are in
a. bad condition. Thousands dropped

DEATH OF MRS. SUSIE
One of Bryan's Estimable Ladles
Called to Her Final Reward
Early This Morning.
(From Tuesday's Daily Eagle.)
Sorrow, deep and genuine, was
brought to many hearts in Bryan this
morning when the news was flashed
over the city that Mrs. Susie Dodson
Burnett was dead. Very few of her
friends knew that she was even ill,
and were therefore wholly unprepared
for the crushing announcement of her
death. The end came at 6:30 o'clock
this morning.
Mrs. Burnett was Miss Susie Dod
son, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. A.
Dodson, and was born and reared in
this city. She was born September 8,
1891, and was therefore 21 years, 1
month and 8 days of age at the time
of her death. She was married to Mr.
W'S. Burnett on the 30th of last
January. v
By her sweet, sunny disposition she
won her way into the hearts and love
of all who knew her, and has a host
of friends here, among whom are
many schoolmates and girlhood
friends. She was a faithful Christian
and had been a member of the First
Baptist church of this city since quite
a small girl.
She is survived by her husband,, her
father and mother, and several
brothers and sisters. The tenderest
sympathy of the entire community
goes out to the bereaved ones in their
dark hour of affliction.
The funeral will be held from the
family home tomorrow morning at
8:30 o'clock, with
city cemetery.

HOUSTON MARKET REVIEW
Houston, Texas, Nov. 5. The re
cent norther started a stiff demand
for all kinds of poultry in the Hous
ton market. Although the cold spell
caught the market about two cents
off, prices wereflrm at the decline
and were bouyarit for the expected
rise, which now prevails. Poultry
prices are at the bottom and will
strengthen as the cold weather pro
longs. Good grades, of receipts will
find a ready market, yet there Is still
danger of en overloaded market and
shippers will do well to test out the
market the day before shipment
Fresh eggs are going up, extra
choice being Quoted at 2930c to the
trade. The receipts are an Infinites
imal part of the number required to
fill the demand. Kansas cold storage
eggs are filling the market
Good reports emanated from busi
ness sources In this territory the past
week. Trade has enjoyed a steady
and quiet expansion, with no startling
developments, but with every evi
dence of prosperity, according to the
local offices of the commercial agen
cies. The continued talk of the strong
interest In rolling stock for railways
is applicable to this section, also, as
announcements were made of the pur
chase of much adldtional equipment
by roads entering Houston and also
by the local Btreet car company. The
wholesale grocery trade was brisk the
past week, both in the country and
city divisions.
Retail dry goods business Is good In
the city and countiry.es well, but Job
bers are experiencing a lull except In
specialties, as this Is the between-
seasons time with them. Their travel
ing men will start on the road wit
spring lines next week.
The weather has been pleasai
throughout the week and crop move
ment has not been interfered with,
The rice crop Is moving rapidly at
good prices. Cotton receipts at Hous
ton are still far In excess of those at
this date last year for the same period
and the prospects are for this to be
the record year for Houston as a cot
ton market
Building in -the city Is active. Col
lections are fair to good.
