SUNDAY 'morning's rain made the
field at Sfb Grande park rather
heavy and slow for the soccer
match Sunday afternoon between the
ISth infantry and the United Empire
clnb and also had the effect of keeping
down trie attendance, but the teams put
up a corking good exhibition of the
gam despite the handicaps. The teams
proved very evenly matched and divid
ed the points, neither being- able to
score.
The defensive work of both teams
was the big feature of the contest. The
back divls:ons played a 'wonderful came
and the forwards were unable to pene- '
irate ciose enougn tor accurate kick
ing on the goals.
The Empires played four new men.
and all made good, Monteith. Bennett,
Blackham and Chant were the new
players. The Empires now have a lot
of fine material and will be able to
field an eleven that can hold its own
with any In the southwest.
Practically no changes were made in
the 16th infantry team and that team is
improving In combination play with
every game.
Chris Fox would like to see the high
school athletes get up a soccer team
and enter the league with the United
Empires and two army teams. He does
not believe that it will be possible to
get up an independent football team
for the college style of play from
among the high school students, for
they will not be able to spare the re

The Austin high school football team
was challenged by the El Paso high
school eleven to play for the state
championship, but Austin paid abso
lutely no attention to the Tigers. After
playing out their regular schedule, the
Tigers disbanded for the season, and
now Austin comes along with an offer
tc play a game in Austin for the state
honors.
The matter is now under considera
tion by the local high school officials,
but as the players haTe broken train
ing and are now giving all their atten
tion to their studies, it is unlikely- that
the game will be arranged.
Third prize in the truck division of
the big automobile parade on Friday
night went to the Toltelk garage, for
its unique "Toltelk animal, which
"eats 'em alive." There was some con
fusion over the numbers and another
concern was announced as the winner
o this prize. The Toltelk exhibit was
'raounted on a ' Simplex trailer and
towea in the parade and it got many
"laughs, being one of the most original
floats shown.
The great majority of the dealers are
well pleased with the results of "Auto
week" and when the final meeting of
the temporary organization is held this
week, steps will be taken to form a
permanent organization.

The first eleven. In our opinion. Is .a
an unbeatable combination a team
made up of stonewall linemen, of the
faster, trickiest ends in the country
and backfield men of such power that
nothing but a steel and concrete wall
could effectively halt.
Pete RusselL of Chicago, is a won
derful quarterback, Williamson, the
Pittsburg captain was another brilliant
pivot man, yet both must step aside
and give to Charlie Barrett, of Cor
nell, the honor of quarterback on the
first all-American eleven.
Barrett the Peerless Quarter.
Barrett, in the opinion of the ma
jority of veteran football students is
the greatest quarterback of all time
greater even than Walter Eckersall,
the star of the west eight or ten years
ago. Barrett Is as good a punter as
was Eckersall but the westerner
"'edged him slightly on drop kicking
skill. However. Barrett is a line
smasher and Eckersall never was.
Those who take issue with the state
ment that Barrett Is t he greatest quar
terback of all time need but to look at
his scoring record for the season 161
points in nine games scored against
such big elevens as Michigan. Har
vard, Pennsylvania and Washington &
Xe.
Mahan For Fullback.
To Eddie Mahan the great Harvard
captain, goes the fullback job. Ma
han Is the best all around halfback
seen in the east in many years. He
can hit a line with terrific power, he
is as speedy as Mercury of the Grecian
days; he is a splendid punter and a
drop kicker par excellence. Mahan
rounded Into form rather slowly this
year but he played a wonderful game
against Princeton and in the Tale
Just the same, which Is pretty good,
considerin."
"Well. I know what a bum this Rube
Is, so I tells the Kid as we're goin" Into
the ring: 'Give 'em as good a show as
you can with him. Don't knock him
out too quick. Just box him nice for
a couple o' rounds, and ril tell you
when.'
"Til knock him dead." says the Kid.
and I know he will,, too, because he
knows all about this bum, though we
never boxed him before.
"Well, when the old gong taps, they
go out, and wham! the Kid cuts
loose, old heaven help us. right off
the reel. He don't miss him by an
Inch. If this bum hadden moved his
nut to onestde ltd been pay day right
there.
" Lots o' time. Kid," I says from the
corner. "Take it easy." I want him to
make the show good, unnerstand. Well
the next minute whop! The Kid
tears loose with his left, but this bum
manages to block it somehow. He's
beginnin' to dog It a'ready. Then
they go into a clinch, and this bum's
holdin" on. You know the (Kid don't
never like to hold. He likes to Just
rip and tear along, but this bum bad
him with a strangle hold, and he
cudden break loose.
Kid Lmn Ills IWnrinc
"Then Just as the referee gets be
tween 'em and splits 'em out, this bura
lets go his right from away down by
his shoes, and accidentally grazes the
Kid on the chin. At the same minute
the Kid slips on a wet spot on the
canvas, and down he goes. It was so
sudden that I didden see what was
comin' off. Then this bum he falls,
too, right on top of the Kid. He was
overbalanced by his punch, unnerstand.
The Kid was goin' away with the
punct, see. and so it just grazed his
chin. It cudden a-hlt him hard, or
this bum wudden lost his balance,
would he?
"Well, anyway, this bum gets up
first, and the referee starts countin'.
The Kid just lays there. I yell for
him to get up. but he don't hear me.
The referee keeps on countin. I'm
hollerin' murder, of course, but the
Kid is still on the floor, and he never
does get up until the "referee says
nine.
"Then he staggers to his feet, and is
reelin' around, and I see something is
wrong with him. This bum is going to
paste him again, but I skies the wipe,
because I see something is wrong and
I didden want to see a good game kid
badly hurt
"But he wasn't knocked out by the
punch. When this bum fell on him he
landed on the Kid's stomach and
knocked the wind out of him. He was
squashed out 'afs what happened.
Why, he was goin' great up to then.
This bum cudden hit him with a bar
towel in ten rounds. It was certainly
tough luck. After a rest, we'll be
ready to challenge Welsh again. Good
bye. I Just thought I'd drop in to say
hello."

record shows that he scored an aver
age of 22 points per game.
Against Yost's University of Michi
gan team DePrato played like a man
possessed. He ripped to shreds the
heavy Maize and Blue line, he skirted
the ends almost at will, he outpunted
the Michigan booter at least 10 yards
In each exchange and when the final
whistle blew the score was: DePrato,
24; Michigan, 0. This "wildfire half
back of the west" scored all the points
against Michigan, making three touch
down, three goals after touchdowns
and one goal from field.
Mayer didn't get nation-wide public
ity this season, merely because he
played on one of the socalled "minor"
elevens. His total of 10S points scored
in seven games speaks for itself, and
the conversation becomes quite loud
when it is remembered that Mayer
played against Yale and Harvard as
well as the most rlawerful elevens in
the south. No line could throw back
the plunges of this 170 pound south
erner. He was amazingly successful
in his end runs and he had no peer on
defencive play.

White and" Spears Are Husky.
The west produced some wonderful
guards Dunnlgan, of Minnesota, and
Fitzgerald, of Notre Dame in particu
lar but in the final analysis White,
the 255 pound Syracuse, husky, and
Spears the 230 pound Dartmouth per
son, rank as their superiors. White
and Spears are not as fast as Dunnl
gan and Fitzgerald but they are mora
powerful. No gains ever were mads
through them this year and neither
ever failed to open a hole for the half
backs when the order was given.
Spears frequently was referred to as
"the Dartmouth team." It was his
playing that won many victories for
the Green eleven.
Hogg, of Princeton, starred In tho
guard role this season, as did Dad
mun. of Harvard; Soppitt of Pittsburg;
Blocker, of Purdue: Brodie. of Chicago;
Stewart of Illinois; Barron, of Iowa,
and Anderson, of Cornell, but none was
In a class with White and Spears.
Choices for Tackles.
Witherspoon. of W. & J, and Buck,
of Wisconsin are our choices for first
team tackles. Witherspoon, despite
his 183 pounds, is s. second roan.
He's a sure and hard tackier, chuck:
full of fighting spirit, a stonewall on
defence and a wonder In following the
ball. Bob Folwell, the taciturn W & J.
coach, who rarely utters praise for a
player, recently declared that Wither
spoon was the best tackle he had ever
seen througout his gridiron career.
And Folwell is a real judge of foot
ballers. Buck, the plucky Wisconsin leader,
ranks as the best tackle the west has
produced in many years. He was in
every play and he was always "on"
the ball. His team this year did not
fare well in its battle for the West
ern Conference championship, but from
each of its conflicts Buck emerged as
the Wisconsin star.
GUman, of Harvard: Shull, of Chi
cago: Boughton. of Ohio State: Abell,
of Colgate; McLean, of Princeton,
Parson, of Harvard; Corey, of Nebras
ka, and Blacklock. of the Michigan.
Aggies shone with especial brilliance
I jn tJJe tackle positions, yet none enone
I quite as brilliantly as did Witherspoon
j and Buck. And. so, to this pair goes
I the hoaor 0f xrat team position.
A teain tt averages 199 points
from ena to end: a team that averages
191 pounds as a whole; a team that
has scored 617 points in eight games
that's our first eleven.
