19. Texas defeated Louisiana State University here this afternoon by the score of 12 to 0. The scoring was all done in the first half, in which Texas had much the better of the argument. In the second half Louisiana came back strong, and the two teams played to a standstill, with the odds a little in favor of the visitors in point of team work. The visitors put up a plucky fight and showed so.ne great tricks which rarely failed to net them good gains.

The first touchdown came in the first quarter, after about three minutes of play. Louisiana received the kick, GoHserand returning twenty-Jive yards. Bond hit the line for three yards. Bond punted to Texas. Massingill went for ten yards.

Russell far tnree and then for Wolfe tnrough tackle for seven, Russell around the end for twenty, and the ball was on Louisiana's three-yard line. Twice Texas made no gain, but on the third trial Ma-ssingiil darted around the end for a touchdown. Louisiana then pulled off her famous forward pass for half to tackle. Mc- Henry and Pollock wore white sweaters to distinguish them from the remainder of the blue-clad team, anil were a plain mark for the pass. Occasionally Texas tore up these passes, but they were the visitors' chief chances to gain.

ANOTHER IX SECOND. Texas again recovered the ball in the second quarter. Brown forward passed to Ramsdell. who went thirty-nve yards to the three-yard line. Erawn went over for the second touchdown.

With repeated gains. Texas went after another touchdown, but Louisiana was holding, and they were called back for the penalty. A forward pass failed to gain, and from then on the game was more even. In the third quarter Louisiana got together, and with short end runs, tricks and clever fake bucks gained repeatedly, but the Texas goal was never in danger. Texas had the best of It on returning punts.

Only once in the fourth TIGERS AND ROOTERS DECIDE CITY'S This morning at 11 o'clock at Peli can Park, the Tigers will line up against the Rooters in a game of football for the Independent city championship. This game promises to be one of the hardest-fought gridiron battles played In New Orleans this season because of the intense rivalry between the two aggregations. The Tigers are strong this season, and will be In better shape than they were in their last game, as several men who failed to report then will be out to-day in uniform, ready to enter in and play their best. The Rooters also will be stronger than they were two weeks ago, and will enter the game better for the experience gained In their game with the Louisiana Seconds In this gamethe Rooters scored one touchdown in the last quarter, but were very often with- WET GROUNDS PREVENT SCHOOL TEAMS FROM PLAYING GAMES AT CITY PARK SAVAGE'S FIVE FAMOUS HORSES MAY DETERMINE RELATIVE MERITS HERE Philadelphia. Nov.

13. Star ball players, as a rule, are born la the hamlets, not the big cities. Just now Philadelphia fans are singing the praises of Eddie Collins, John Coombs, Chief Bender. Frank Baker and the rest of the Athletic tribe. Practically none of the present Quaker heroes first saw the light of day in quiet Philly, and very few made their debut In the large burgs.

It's Indeed rather Interesting to look np the dope on the men who took part in the recent big series between the Cubs and Athletics, in which the tntire baseball world was vitally interested, and note the places of their birth. COLLINS A COLLEGE MAN. Perhaps no one player on either th Chicago or Philadelphia team came ia for more attention than Eddie Collins. Now, Eddie is a real highbrow, being a graduate of Columbia University, and to look at him one would never guess that he first saw the light of day in Millerton. N.

T. Just where Miller-ton located is a rather difficult question to answer, but it suffices to say that it is somewhere in New Tork. No doubt it will now become famous aa the home of Eddie Collins. Jack Coombs, who did the heavy hurling for the Athletics, is now listed In the city directory of Kennebunk. if that burg ts fortunate enough ts boast such a luxury.

It ia generally supposed that Jawn is a real Mains Stater, but such far from being th case, as Le Grande. claims Mr. Coomba as its favorite son. It's hard to say which is the worst place Kennebunk or Le Grande. It's a cinch both are lonesome enough on a stormy winter's night-King Cole, who" practically kept the.

Chicago Cubs In the running last summer, first jumped into fame as the star pitcher of the Bay City (Mich.) team, but Bay City Is a long ways from 1 rl'a n.llva keoth Mr fnl was horn In Toledo, not the hurtling Ohio burg of that name, but a wide spot In the road in the wilds of Iowa. When any one asks Cole where he was born he hastily replies Toledo and then shift the conversation. He is anything but strong for the Iowa part of his debut-ting place. CT MORGAN ANOTHER. Cy Morgan of the Athletics really looke like a sure-enough city-broke specimen of the genus homo, yet the family Bible has it that Cy first hit this good old earth at Pomeroy, Pa.

For th benefit of those who do not know, that's not the Pomeroy where they make the- grape. 1 Frank Chance and Orris Overall of the Cubs are two native sons of California who swear by the land of sunshine and flowers and other things. On would hardly think, however, that tw such fine athletes would hail from Fresno and Visalia. respectively. They refuse to take the alamo for the occurrence.

From the way Frank Baker plays baseball you would never think that he started in life with a heavy handicap, such as being born In Trappe. Md. The town council ought to do something nice for Frank for putting the hamlet on the map. Here are the birthplaces of other stars: Topsy Hartsel was born in Wellington. O.

the great Miner Brown at Rosedale, the renowned Chief Bender at Brainard, the clever Jimmy Sheckard at Columbia. Frank Schulte at Coshocton. N. and Jimmy Dygert at that dear old Utica. Moral: You don't have to be city-broke to become a star ball player la the major leagues.

KROH IS MATCHED WITH BOKENFOHR Cubs' Pitcher to Lead Godchauxs and Local Boy the Bonarts in To Day's Diamond Battle at Pelican Park. Kroh and Hauser wtll be the battery for the Godchauxs, and Bokenfohr and Spencer for the Bonarts In their gam to-day at Pelican Park. This announce ment was made yesterday by Manager Rickert for the Godchauxs and Manager Ats for the Bonarts, after they had decided on their plans for the game. Manager Rickert decided to us Kroh because of several requests from fans who want to see the Cubs' pitcher ia action. Kroh waa with the Cubs when here last spring on their training trip, and impressed the fans as being a good man.

It Is known that several managers of the Southern League were on his trail, but Manager Chance thought too well of the youngster to let him get far away. Now that Owner Murphy has decided to make up the 1911 Cub with new material, indications are that Kroh will be one of the activa men next year. He la confident of winning from the Bonarts. but realizes that he will not have an easy time, at Bokenfohr, wno will oppose him, has tht Indian sign on the Godchauxs, and they have never been able to connect with hia slants to any great degree. Henry Williamson will umpire.

The. game will be called at 3 o'clock. John Mullen, the new umpire signed by Ban Johnson for next season, is a native of Pittsburg. Pa. President Heylder of the National League engaged him last autumn.

This year President Lynch offered Mullen less money, and he joined the Western League, where he received more than Lynch ofTered him. Mullen got a reputation in the first game he umpire-! in the National. It was in New York and the players were giving him ail kinds of trouble to "get his He ordered a few of them off the field, and when they refused to leave he forfeited the game. That kind of an umpire is Just the kind of man Ban Johnson Is looking for. H.

Following is the report of President Huh van "To the Members of the Public School Athletic League of the City of New Orleans: "It Is with the greatest pleasure that 1 present thia my third annual report president of your league. 'i he past year being ine third of its existence, has been the most successful in the history of tne Public School Athletic League.

the latter amount being latiT surrendered to the city as part payment of the building. "Mayor Behrman, who has been one of the most consistent, enthusiastic and liberal sepporters of the movement, aiain tai'-f to our aid and impressed the City CV-uncil with the urgent necessity of assuming this entire obligation and payinj.r cash for same, which was generously clone.

Bauer did not appear last Sunday because of illness, and it is not certain that he has recovered sufficiently to play to-day. Oglesby, though, is a good man, and if the Job falls to him, can be depended upon to put up a good game. The players are keen on the cool weather, it is said, and will put up a couple of snappy contest. Play will begin at 3 o'clock. The Stars and the Eddys will have their usual lineups.

The run netted htm only a few yards, as he ran outside on the start. TIGERS' TRICK PLAT. In the last quarter Louisiana tried a new play, a fwrward pass, the four backs lintng up together about five yards back, and the ball being passed from quarter to tactile. It netted forty yards the first time, but failed the second. Individually the greatest playing of the game was done by Kirkpatrick of Texas, who came out of a sick bed to go into the game.

He punted long and hard and ran back punts in great style. Massingill showed flashes of brilliant playing, and Russell put up a good article of ball. For the visitors, Gos-serand did most of the line plunging, while MclUnry and Pollock also starred, and Dupont showed up well at quarter. Louisiana's back held was strong, and appears second only to Auburn of all the teams that have been on the Texas field. Louisiana's greatest gains were made on speed and tricks.
