THE SHKL EPORT TIMES OCTOBER 21, 1923 Centenary Gentlemen Prove Too Strong For Normal Gridderi SUNDAY MORNING L. P. I. Gives Tulane Stiff Battle, Losing Speed Demons Will Try For Mile Record At Fair Grounds; Seven Races On Program Game By Close Scord Natchitoches Warriors Stage Hard Battle But Fail To Score On Locals By JOE U. CARTER Eleven fig'itliiK mm (rom the picturesque little town of Natchitoches, l.a., and representing the Louisiana Stale Normal college on the gridiron, tried out their K' it ami determination yesterday at a task where more heavier and experienced men had failed a task of beating down the Centenary Gentlemen on a football field and like those that had preceded them, the 11 fighting men tasted from the cup of defeat.

4. Local Game Yellow Jackets Win From DeRidder Dragons By One Touchdown In Game At Fair By FUND GARNER. The Purple and Cold colors of the Shreveport high school were carried to victory yesterday at the Fair Grounds by the Yellow Jacket grid warriors, when they defeated the Dragon from DeRidder I fifth. 7 to 0. The contest was witnessed by a large crowd of local ichool follower and 400 rooter! from DeRidder.

The game was hard fought from the first whistle, and the winning icore was not made until the last quarter. De Kidder showed splendid fighting spirit, and the team wa on the verge of scoring when the contest ended. Shreveport showed better than the visitors in the last half, but in the first half of the contest a number of fumbles in the Yellow Jackets' backficld hurt their chances of making several tcorei. staged a snake dance on the field between halves. They formed a circle about their team us the "fighting men" rested, and shouted words of encouragement to them, The itudent body ang a few of their achool songs, and io much encouragement did they give their "heroci" that smiles forced their way over the faces of the athletes, who were really sad lit heart over their failure to make any progress against Centenary.

In the stand in the field the Centenary students made merry. The col. lege band played every piece in its repertoire and to these tunes the students yelled themselves hoarse, The The added time which the auto race driven have had before itarting in the event at the Fair Groundi, due to th postponement, has made it possible for leveral of them to make important changes in their which they found in tryout had to be altered. The changes will prove a big help, and the drivers plan to try for the mile record for the local ground today. Th fair officials have had leveral teams and a iteam roller at work io ai to make the track amooth when the contest! begin thii afternoon.

AI Watters, better known as "Daredevil" Watters, will drive hi mammoth Duesenberg, which has proven a winner a'l through the season. At the North Shore speedway in Chicago, againit lome of th greatest driver in the country, he shattered all track record when he won all of th races in which he wa entered. He will best remembered by the fani here for hia daring driving last year. In the last event on tha 1922 card at the fair whila speeding down the back stretch the front axle of his car was torn comnletelv from tha i machine catapulted through the I irnca, severely injuring Watters. Paul Clancy, who ha purchased th famoua "Golden Egg," will also seen in action today.

This is the same car with which he let the new world'! record for one-half mile, 27 2-6 aecond. Also for all intervening distance! up to and including 40 miles, which distance he made in th remarkable time of 89.36 with 17 can on the track. Bud Putman, who calls Connecticut hia home, has brought his Richards Special, a well known car that raced at the Indianapolis Speedway. Bud has reconitructed the car for dirt track use, and has com into th touth to prove that he can win her aa well ai in tha east where holdi numerous track records and two itate records, Then there is Ben Gotoff of International fame, who has been racing sine IDftV, Ben started to lace for Prince Sukinoff in Europe but after three years he cam over her where he found th cars to so much superior that he has remained here ever since and has on of th most enviable records of any driver on the track. He has the distinction of being th first man to receive the checkered flag, in the first race ever held in that most famous of all auto-mobil events, the Indianapolis 600-mile race, Barney McKenna wilt pilot a Rajo-Ford, wnich ia a.id to be tha fastest Ford in th country.

At Oklahoma City he ran a dead heat with a car having a motor twice the size of the one in hia Ford and in a special race run to decide the winner he won in a decisive manner. The big car and ita little brother continued wheel to wheal until near the end, with Knjo finally getting the checkered flag first. There will also be two Templar Specials driven by Claude Monteath and Lou Craver, respectively. Monteath holds the Illinois stat championship and has a record of consecutive wins that is considered quite remarkable. Lou Craver is better known in the motorcycle circles where he has been driving the two-wheeled vehicles for many years and only recently turned to the four-wheeled creations to win fame and fortune.

He has mad remarkable progress for he tied the Wisconsin state record this year in his second race and since that time has been a constant aource of worry to the oldtimers for he has slipped in first in several important meets.

They failed to cross the locals' goal line, or even come within threatening d. stance, while the Shreveport Collegium piled up a score of 4tl that might have been advanced to double the number had the entire first team been kept on the field, and ordered to advance.

Only twice did the Normal lup-porten even see a vision of a touchdown. Both occasion! came on plays started by forward panes.

Both occasions brought Centenary supporter! to their feet, with a twitching of the nerves, and brought a of encouragement from the Normal admirers, but each time a player wearing the maroon colored jersey of the Shreveport ichool came charging on to stop the progress of the enemy. YUtors Far Stone Wall.

The Gentlemen1! victory was an fasy one. Not because they were better "fighters" than the athletes from Natchitoches, but because they are a better team; because they figure in a class with any college eleven in Dixie, and by itretching a point of the imagination, might be classed as a capable foe against some of the best in the East and the West, where football has had a longer and greater standing than in Dixie. Whatever real playing was done in "the game yesterday afternoon at the fair was staged in the territory of the Normal team. The visitors "learned in the first period that all advance dope about the driving power of the Gentlemen was correct, and began figuring out another means to come with the emergency than via straight football. They tried end runs but these were smothered before much gain could be made.

In the second and part of the third periods they fell back on the punting game with the hope they would gain an advantage in that line. Bard Ferrall crushed their hopes on this brand of play. Ferrall, playing his first game in three Vreeks, returned every punt sent the field by the opposition. His distances averaged 45 yards, clearly besting the opposition. kick's usually went out of bound the 10 or 20 yard line, thus not giving the opposition chance to run the ball back.

The visitors surrendered the punting move and resorted to the forward, passing route. It was in the "forward passing end" that the Normal crew fared ery bad. Often their passes landed in the arms of a waiting Centenary player. Twice these "air heaves" -were turned against them for touchdowns. Several grid followers criticised the visitors for using the "pass-in game" when so near their own goal line, but it was a game struggle ef eleven fighting men trying out all brands of play with the hope it would turn the tide of victory in their favor.

The Gentlemen scored 13 points in the first quarter and six in the second quarter. When McMillin rea lized Normal was unable to stop the heavy charges of "Big Cal" Hubbard, 260 pounder, Hogue, Bush and other I heavyweights, he made a shift in his line-up. He sent in a few of the second string men. These were followed by others, who have had little chance to play in a regular game. errall was sent in with instructions to "punt" in order to keep the opposition from becoming dangerous, with the new men at work, and he gave his toe a considerable workout, ierrali gave Normal plenty of chance to run with the ball, but they made -little progress.

The play gave the 'local coacn a chance to see how the youngsters work on the defense. At -the start of the fourth quarter McMillin made a sweeping change. He every player off the field, except Sione, and sent in his "regulars." Wafer, cautain. who was held out of play, got into the battle at this time. The third quarter ended with the in possession of Normal, on their wn 20-yard line.

Bard Farrell had "fust previously punted out of bound 'it that distance. On the very first play in the fourth period Ellsworth up from the line and intercepted a pass. He charged on for a touchdown. Hubbard then kicked off to Normal'! five-yard line and the btU was returned 15 yards. Weaver iroke through the line and threw one of his opponents for an eight-yard loss.

'he students of Normal I change of scenery from the regular college gridiron also added spice to the occasion. For the Normal team Gremillion and Chaurin were continually in tha spotlight, due to the efforts to put over forward passes. The visitors completed three air drives, one far IS yards and another for 20 and another for eight, and missed almost a dozen. Davis of Normal also was kept busy trying to receive passes.

"Swede" Anderson, who wears the No. 13 sweater for Centenary, and heretofore had not been able to get any more than 1,1 yards out, of his drives, shook off the jinx and made several long runs. He once broke through the line for a touchdown, also intercepted a pass and again made a 20-yard run for another just as the game ended "Swede" opened his arms to intercept a pass from Gremillion, but the ending whistle blew before he could do any damage to the enemy. "Swede" also was responsible for a number of passes. from the enemy missing their objective.

It was evident shortly after the second quarter that Centenary was not desirous of running up a big score. The Gentlemen gave a flash of their real form and then McMillin altered the combination. It was believed "scout'" from the Texas Christian University eleven were here to see the game. Centenary plays T. C.

Miller came right back and on two plays scored first down. Hubbard missed a pass from center and again Miller had to make up an eight-yard loss. Miller made the first down, but the play was stricken out and Centenary was penalized for being off-side. Weaver tried a place "kick and, the ball went to Normal on the 20-yard line.

Anderson made the next first down with a gain of 13 yards, Anderson again made six yards and Miller made five yards and first down. The ball was on the three-yard line when Anderson went "over the top" for the first score of the game. Weaver ktsked goal.

Centenary took Gremillion's punt on the 20-yard line and carried it back to the 35-yard line. Here the Gentlemen showed their punch. On five successive plays they scored another touchdown. Weaver missed goal. Hubbard kicked to Turpin on the 20-yard line.

Baker fumbled on the next play, and Bennett recovered. Jnst after the second quarter started Hubbard charged down the field for a short gain. He was playing a halfback position. He moved up a couple of yards more and then charjred four yards. He was penalized five yards for "crawling." Baker and Davis threw Miller for a loss of three yeards on an end run and then Hubbard was called on to carry the boll again.

As Hubbard received the nigskin he started his drive. He bowled over three tacklers, one ot them being Turpin, captain, and jogged on for a touchdown. Hubbard dropped Turpin in his charge and time out was called while the captain rested. He limned about and resumed play. Ferrall mifsed goal.

A short while after Turpin was taken out of the game. Chauvin received the kick-off from Centenary on the 40-yard line. It was here te visitors put over a 15-yard pass, Turpin to Gremillion. Normal tried several plays without success. and then Anderson intercepted pass on the 40-yard line.

He was by Simmons, after he had reached an open field. It was here that Ferrall started a punting game, giving Normal the chance to carry the ball. For the remainder of the quarter it was Centenary punting and Xormil trying passes. Ferrall' punts were traveling far and high, and the majority landed out of bounds far down the field. Gremillion and Chauvin completed a pass, and then followed with a pRss tht failed beyond the goal, Ferrall punted to Normal's 40-yard line.

Bible's Texas Areies. with whom he i hopes to win the Texas conference championsnip tnm season, swooped! down on State Field today and played havoc with Mike Donahue's heretofore unbeaten iTiers. When the smoke cleared, the Aggies walked off the field with a 28 to 0 victory. It was the first defeat if the season for the Tigers and an espens've one at that for Steele, rijrht tackle, who suffered a broken collar Lone in the third quarter. I Breaking through the Texas defense was something beyond the ability of the Tigers.

For three periods it seemed impossible to tain through an impregnable line in which Capt. Bull Johnson, Dubois, Forgason and Dansby played a prominent part. It was not until the fourth quarter that the Tiger offense could be worked to advantage and then it was through the aerial attack short passes from Kir.er to Kdmonston that kept the ball mostly in the Aggies' territory. Texas Well Fortified. Texas was well fortified to meet the Tigers, using practically two teams.

In the second period. Coach Bible made one change, sending 10 men in as substitutes at one time'. He did the same thing aain in the fourth quarter. Neely Fiiy Wilson and Pots starred on the offensive for the Acgies, i breaking through time after time for gains. The Tigers, fighting with their backs to the wall, held the Ag-Igies for downs twice in the first period, when their goal line was ened, pi.or the 1 Aggies an advantage which counted I strongly against the Tigers.

Bour-i beois, Steele, r.wen, Mcl all and Stev ens played a good defensive game for the Tigers, but stopping the flect-i footed Necly and also Pay Wilson, who made their gains behind great "interference, was seemingly impossible. The Aggies scored their first touchdown three minutes after play begun. i They won the toss and chose to re-! ceive, defending the north goal, i hre r.son made a had kickoT nrnl fhe ran the ball hack to tho Tic'rs' ilo-yard line.
