HARDY NEWTON FARMERS DEFEATED THE TULANE ELEVEN Texans Took Game by Score to 0 at Kyle Field from Loulslanans. of 41 Before another record-breaking crowd at Kyle Field yesterday afternoon the Farmers triumphed over the football team representing the Tulane University by a score of 41 to 0.

The Farmers again entered the game without their star players and found the Louisiana team easy. Despite lucky playing by the visitors they were easily outclassed and A. and M. had It all their own way In piling up the score. Tackle Bowler was not In the game, and Kern, the heady little quarter, played only for a few minutes, as he has been suffering from a bad charley-horse ever since th game with the Sooners.

Vesmlrovsky also played a very few minutes, but had to retire. However, without these stars the Farmers put up a good article of foot-ball. Their barkfleld was a few pounds heavier than that of Tulane, but the line was evenly matched. Head Coach Dwyer and Mr. Dupont, both of Louisiana State University, witnessed the game from the grand-stand In order to get a line on Tulane, as their team plays them on turkey day In New Orleans.

The feature of the game was again the brilliant work of Montgomery and Everett, the Farmers' star end. Bell made repeated gains through the line for the gains. Beaslcy inter-qepted one of Tulane's forward passes and scamnered sixty-five yards for a touehdow McArthur returned punts In grand as did Higglnbotbam. Vesmlrov jky's kicking kept the Tulane backs guessing all the time. Vesmlrovsky missed a kick from placement only a few inches from the four-yard line.

Kern and Spake divided time at quarter and both showed up In great style. Bateman came tn for his usual share of stellar playing, both Washington and Morrison playing a great game at ends. The game was well officered. The Farmers' line was like a stone wall and only a few times were the heavy hacks of Tulane able to make consist-tent gains in that direction. Lambert, the big tackle, played the entire game, although suffering from a broken nose.

Cushman, the Farmers' center, played exceptionally well. Tulane made first down only a few times, though the Farmers' line resorted to open field play most of the time. Their forward passes did not gain but little, as the most of them were either Intercepted by a Farmer or went wild. For Tulane, George, a Texas hoy, at left halfback, did splendid work and his punts were for good distances and well played. Woodward and Muller as well as Smith played a nice came.

So much has been Bald In discussion of the patronage which win be at the disposal of President Wilson after March 4, 1913, that it is interesting to know just how many officers and employes of the government would be affected by the change did Woodrow Wilson decide not to follow the action of his republican predecessors and throw out of office hundreds of thousands of re publicans now working for the government. There are 391,250 of these employes. Of these 227,657 hold positions sub ject to competitive examinations under the civil service rules and their Jobs have ceased to be "political appointments." The civil service act has been in force twenty-eight years. At first it was applied to less than 10 per cent of the government positions.
