roos at different times tut It was al
ways by (he closest possible margin,
ibis year lh« Trinity team put It all
over 'em In a clean-cut game which
delighted s very large crowd. Not
only did Trinity run up a good score
while holding her opponent* Bcoro
ie*8 hot she kept the Kangaroos tn
a strain all the time by reason of
holding the ball In Austin college ter
ritory.
Coach Riven* is well pleased with
(hi inarm r in which the t-am round
ed tnio form late in the season Dur
ing the t irly season his squad went
all 1o pieces and it looked a: if i.e
would be blanked all the mason
through, hut In tiinO training hi ran
to tell «: d Trinity took on form.
Coach iilvecB had a wealth of ma
terial to draw from but the men
v.art- nil Inexperienced—Just heady
young high school players. Hut v.lth
those he manned to win hall' the
games ho played and tied one. This
gives him a percentage of 600 which
is to say the leapt of it an average.

will have a good strong team from
the very beginning. As usual tbe
team will play at Dallas on the open
ing dny of the fair. It Is very prob
able that Baylor university will bo
their opponents at that time*, how
ever, that Is to he determined. Trin
ity does not lose a man from her
team this year by graduation.
.Much credit is due the coach for
tho shewing made this year. Ho
worked faithfully throughout the
season when odds seemed to be
against him. lie started In the sea
son with only three letter men who
had had as much us two years of ex
perience—Ferguson. Anderson and
King. All the members of the team
are expected back next year.
In the game Thursday each and
every player showed good form.
Captain King at end was fast on his
feet and saw to It tliat no punts
wore returned, lie also received
pass a well and made good substan
tial gains on the short pass. King
showed unusual form on the defen
sive.
King at center and Anderson at
tackle played unusual games. Time
and again the center opened a way
for Ferguson who plunged the line
for big gains. Anderson was a tow
er of strength at tackle.
Carl Ferguson played quarter and
as usual ho was exceptionally strong
on the defensive as well as aggressive
when carrying the ball. Ferguson Is
running u close race for all-state full
back because of hla fierce tackling.
n. Ferguson, playing hln first year
on a college team, played an excep
tional game and came through the
season In’tine shape.
Karl Oeiall, Fred Fuqua and Ware
all had a vhar.ee In the turkey day
game and showed up well Warren
Smith played during the first half
with an Injured hand and was In
many plays. lie retired In favor of
Itugel who showed up well.
Ivan Fuqua bucked a giant tackle

Which
Do You
Prefer ?
Pullman or Freight ?
No one would think of riding in a
freight car if he could enjoy the
comfort of a big, comfortable easy
riding Pullman parlor car.
• So with automobiles. Most of the
popular priced cars ride like
freignt cars. This is due to the
old fashioned type of spring.
Many manufacturers still continue
to use them.
The Overland does not. The 75 B
Overland has the latest type of
cantilever shock absorbing
springs. As a result it is one of
the easiest riding cars in the world.
One demonstration will pro^e this.

but he showed to un advantage un
der the handicap and made good
gains when pulled Into the back
field for line pi anger.
Hi>ant and Fincln r divided time
ut right end and both showed veil,
running well down on punts and
tackling fiercely.
Little Estes showed up well until
injured early In the game and forced
to retire In favor of Ernest Overall,
who flnishod strong.
Creel’s Interception o? pas.-; and a
run of 4 0 yards through a broken
field was spectacular. Ho was
crowded out of hounds and fulled
to score on the play.
Stewart Moore relieved Earl Over
all and plunged the line In his us
ual flereo manner.
Due. credit should be given Quar
terback Lowe of tho Kangaroos, who
played a splendid game and showed
good generalship. Captain McCall
at tackle showed well also and Me-|
Elroy at end and half back was ef
fective running interferences for
Lowe.
Everything considered tho turkey
day game was un Ideal victory.

NO BENT—NO PEACE.
There’s no peace and little rest for
the one/ who suffers from a bad
back, and distressing urinary disor
ders. Waxahachie people recommend
Doan’s Kidney Pills. Be guided by
their experience.
Mrs. S. H. iltnman, 205 Kaufman
street, Waxahachie, says; “My back
troubled a lot during the day
and at night, the dull, nagging pains
gave me no rest. The passages of
the kidney secretions were too fre
quent and the secretions were high
ly colored. Doan’s Kidney Pills,
procured from the Curl'.n Drug Co.,
ended those troubles. They also
stopped the swelling of my feet and
ankles. Whenever 1 feel In need of
a tonic for niv kidneys uow, 1 take
Doan’s Kidney Pills and they never
fall to help me.”
Price 50c, at ell dealers. Don’t
simply a k for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Hlnman uses. Foster-Mil
