Business men of Minden Friday night tendered a banquet to the local High school football team in appreciation of the team's unbroken line of victory achieved this season, and to encourage them and arouse public interest in other garnet yet to be played in Minden's struggle for the State High school championthip. J. I'ltrher was tho master of ceremonies and the following speakers congratulated the team and made pleat for moral and financial support for the boys: K. S. Kichardson, parish superintendent; Thos.

Con-ncll, J. B. Snell and L. 11. Deman, principal of tho High school.

The response for the football boyt was made by M. Hough, team coach. Miss Marjorie Ogden led in a song The Minden Hifh is now in line for ttate honors, their latest victory being over Shreveport High school at the state fair last Saturday by the score of 17-0. A game on the local field with Warren Kaston, of New Orleans, is scheduled for next Friday. with Homer and Winnfield will follow soon and if victorious in these battles a post-season contest with the winner of the forthcoming Baton Rouge-Morgan City game for state gridiron honors in the High tchool contest will be arranged.

WIXNF1ELD WIN'S. Winnfield, Nov. 3. Winnfield high school defeated Dubach high school here this afternoon, 7 to 0. A steady downpour of rain fell during the entire game, and the contest was marred by many fumbles.

The field wat a sea of mud, making passing and open field play impossible. Parker, Winnfield's big fullback, finally carried the ball over on a line plunge 'in the first inert of the final quarter after carrying the ball down the field for a driving 40-yard run. The Winnfield team was weakened by the absence of Custer llol-comb, Drewett, Neal and Captain Buck Sewers, all "of whom were out because of Bickness and injuries. The Wasson brothers, Newton. and John Sowers played strong defensive ball for the home team.f Winnfield and I was glad to get a chance to sign him." Smith is the young Oklahoman being just 21 years old who has been making such a hit in the north in the last year.

One of his recent victories was over Jack Palmer, a well-known 148 pounder. He also gave Cowboy Padgett a neat trimming, and easily won the decision from the cowboy. He has had many other bouts. Foster had been dickering for the Murphy-Smith bout for some time, but a difference over weight kept the boxers apart. Realizing that he would have to arrange a show at once in order to give the fans of Shreveport time to see the boxers in training he got in touch with the glovemen Saturday and patched up the difference between them.

They will make 145 pounds for the mill. In closing for the show the promoter informed both Murphy and Smith they must be in Shreveport not later than Wednesday and must appear in workouts at the Pierre avenue arena every afternoon until the day of their meeting. The fans have been invited to attend the workouts in order to pass on the merits of the boxers. As an added attraction Foster is after the services of Grady Franklin, local middleweight, for the eight-round event. If Franklin accepts terms he will match him with Young rStaniey, who recently won from Billy Brown a boy whom franklin defeated in Alexandria several weeks Squad Easy For Homer Gridders Speelal Th Time.

The littU play earn In ths closing minutes of ths last quarter or the Centenary-Ktntueky Normal game, at ths local college stadium Saturday afttmoon, and it tent 2000 spectators homeward bound in a happy and eon-tented mood at seeing two victories fought and won In a single contest, They taw Bo MeMlllin's crew triumph over their foe in masterly fashion, 75 to 6, and add another link to the championship chain they are welding together, ard they saw a Cam little crew of Kentuckians ac complish a iarht to cross the Cente nary goal line at least once during the game. The Kentuckians never got a ehanee to taste of this pleasure until near the close of their day's work fcut when this single victory cam thetr way It brought satisfac tion to every person at the game. There waa not one who did not re-joice when Kentucky scored a touchdown after heart attempts for them. Even the followers of Centenary rejoiced and the members of the Gentlemen squad, though they fought hard to deny the privilege, said later they do not begrudge the viaitora their little reward.

With the sounding of the stsrter's whistle, Saturday, Kentucky Normal started out with one big purpose in view to cross Centenary's goal. Outweighed almost 20 pounds to the team they realized their chances for a victory were small but they were determined to leave their brand on local toil. They made their game an aeria ono. They tried forward passes practically all the way. At every opportunity, and even when within their own 25 yard lina they hurled the pig-akin through the air.

Almost a dozen timet their passes were intercepted and resulted in scores against them. They continued as the Gentlemen first piled up seven points to the first quarter, 21 to the second quarter, and 28 to the third quarter. Then In the fourth quarter they succeeded. The score at the time was 76 to 0 against them. The crowd realized tho viaitors' purpose, and their game fight, and all were with them.

The fans wished that Normal would complete on of their passes heyond the range of a Centenary player, and run for a touchdown. With the wisfl on the lipa of the spectators. Ward, the captain for Kentucky, dashed past the local's line of scrimmage and Frazier, a diminutive backfield sub stitute, hurled the pigskin. Ward waa there to receive, as he had been on several other occasions, but this time, though, there was but little op position, end he stepped down the mid for 30 yards for a touendown. The crowd cheered, Coach "Bo" Me.

JHimn smiled and Dr. George Sexton president of Centenary college, said: "I'm glad they did it. They certainly tried and it will make them happy." Dobaon Save) Score. Before they completed the pass for the touchdown, the Kentuckians had missed almost twenty attempts and completed three. After their six- point score they completed another pass, Kraiter to ard, that looked like a score.

Ward took a 10-yard paaa and started for his goal with three Centenary players after him. He stepped off BO yards and then the hand of Robert Dodson, former Shreveport High school player, reached out and caught him. It was a pretty race between Dobson and Ward, and as Dobson caught Ward at the top of his Jersey and hauled him down, two other local players tumbled on the heap to hold Ward there. Th visitors never gained after that. They tried another pass, but Dobson stepped into the path of th ball and speared the pigskin Just as the game ended.

With the exception of the effort of Kentucky to make a score, there was little to choose from in the game. Centenary scored in rapid-fire order. Th game was only a minute old when the locals put over a touchdown on less than a half-dozen plays by Farrell, White, Letter and Miller. After th kiekoff, and Centenary had mad aeven yards on two downs, Fer-rall'a punt on the third down was blocked and Freshour recovered. Centenary was penalized when Weaver was offside and it gave Kentucky a first down.

It was here that the visitors started their passing. Two passes failed and then one was completed for yards, Cartwright to Ward, who waa downed by Bennett. Kentucky tried th line and found Hogue making nlc tackles, and then Cartwright missed a field goal. After getting possession of the ball. Centenary held to it until the end of the first quarter halted play, with th pigskin on Normal's five-yard line.

Hogue and Ferrall had previoualy made nice line plays and end runs and Ferrall and Wearer had completed a 10-yard ass. On th first (play in th second quarter Ferrall went seven yards for a touchdown and Weaver kicked goal. McMilUn started making changes then, tending in his light men. From then until the close the Gentlemen rapidly added to their count. Ferrall in Form.

"Bard" Ferrall showed probably his fettt form of the season, lie repeatedly mad long runs that brought bick memories of Me playing of last year. He intercepted passes and in all cored four touchdowns. It was Ferrall' first game on home soil in ev-ral weeks at he was out with an injured shoulder. "Red" Lawrerre, wiio obbed for Ferrail. proved a capable ubstitut for "Mexico." He followed In Bard's footsteps with lorg runs and in Intercepting passes.

Twice Lawrence crossed the enemy's goal line. One he paved the way for Whit to teore a touchdown by Intercepting a pass and cirrying the 11! fir yard to the 20-yard line. Whit went 20 yards through a broken field for a teore. Another time Lawrence th ball out of the air and run 15 rardt through a broken field he.oi-e he wi downed on the o-vard line bv Pitchford.

The bout may result in a stepping stone to put Franklin back in public favor, and as Grady has always been welt liked by the fans many will be glad to have him get a chance to perform for them. Foster will have the customary three shows on the program and is now working for a preliminary bout lhat will fit in well with the other attractions. It is his plan to have all of the boxers appearing on the card to workout daily.

He is having his club painted and a few repairs made and for this reason put training time back until Wednesday afternoon. Murphy is expected here Tuesday night. Smith is making a little farther journey than Murphy, coining from Chicago, and will not be here until Wednesday afternoon. Johnny McCoy, the Skeeter, is being kept on the local ground by Promoter Foster in order to close a contract for an engagement as soon as a suitable opponent can be obtained. It appesrs that Griffin will be the opponent signed, but in tho meantime Foster is putting out lines for other 112 to 118 pounders.

At present McCoy Is the big favorite with the Shreveport fans. He came here practically unknown and fought himself into popularity, beating Kid Williams, Pascal Colletti and Claude Wilson. time losing the decision.

Joe Cans was one colored fighter who was highly esteemed hy boxing devotees of all shades. The Baltimore oyster fiend whose reassuring message to hit mammy, apropos of the outcome of an impending fight, "I'll bring home the bacon," now occupies an exalted place in American slnng, was not only a remarkable boxer but a quiet, well-mannered man.

His white competitors conceded his rare skill and many ring authorities of uncommonly sound judgment insist today that (ians was the greatest lightweight of ail time. But John Sullivan, the Boston heavyweight, never thought so. John had a positive dislike for Cans, and spent much of his time trying to unearth a man to beat him. Sullivan was always on hand when Cans battled always in the hope that he would seo the colored man punched lifeless. On one occasion Sullivan even went in the corner of a Gans opponent.

This was when Spike Sullivan met the Marylandor before the Broadway A. C. at New-York. John L. was in a particularly snarly mood and his instructions to Spike were thickly buttered with vicious invective.

Spike, however, was hopelessly outclassed and the lato Charlie White, who was refereeing, stopped tbe fight to save the white boy from serious punishment. John L. was furious. A Boston alderman at the ringside, stirred on by the old heavyweight's prolonged protestations, climbed over the ropes and took a healthy punch at Keferee White. A general free-for-all followed and quiet was not restored until plain clothesmen had literally dragged John L.

out of the building. well and Sam York, who acted as relief ends man, showed fine. York took a 30-yard pass from Ferrall and ran for a touchdown. He was a stone wall on the defense. Hogue was taken out of the line early in order to be saved for the Boston game and Letteer had to retire from play when kicked in the eye.

His injury is not serious. McMillin worked Hubbard at end during a part of the game and Cal and Ferrall completed a 10-yard pass. Cal was heading for the goal post when tackled by Cartwright. When the Gentlemen became aware that Kentucky was relying only on passes they all began looking into the air for the pigskin. As a result many heaves were intercepted.

Those making catches were: White, Farrell, Lawrence, Pobson, Rebsamen, Bennett, B. Bush and Zahrobsky. Hill, the diminutive1 quarterback, showed plenty of skill in broken field running and made several long gains, once going for 30 yards. Miller hit the line hard. Weaver showed considerable skill in placing his kicks for points and Farrell drop-kicked two over the boards for added points.

Hill and Farrell each missed a field goal. Centenary's biggest opposition was furnished by Ward. Ha managed to get in on several of the local's plays and was always dangerous in taking passes, cartwright tne Dacmicm showed well and Frazler was kept busy in the final half trying forward passes. Glenn, a relief man, who broke into play in the second half, was hard to stop at times on ine offense and figured in quite a few tackles, once saving his team by stopping Lawrences march toward the goal. McMi lin used all or his players except Hilden and Captain Wafer.

Hilden was anxious to get started, but is being saved for Boston College. Wafer was sick Saturday and HY not put on his uniform, Weaver, 'jbbard and B.

CARTER. Warnie Smith, the Oklahoma Flash, and Frankie Murphy, the Denver Wildcat, will be the principals in the main event when Promoter Frnnk Foster throws open the doors of the Shreveport Athletic club Monday, November 12, for his first boxing show in this city. The match was closed Saturday as an alternative for a meeting between Johnny McCoy, the Cleveland Skeeter, and Dandy Dick Griffin, or Johnny Buff, failed to answer an offer made for his services, and later Griffin wired he could not leave the Pacific Coast for the next ten days, so Smith and Murphy became the choice. Smith and Murphy are welterweights and rugged battlers. They will go 15 rounds to a decision.

Murphy has boxed in the south frequently and is well known in this locality. Twice he contested George Kuhn, Shreveport middleweight, in El Dorado. In the first bout he was awarded the decision. In the second show the contest was stopped in the eighth round, Promoter Foster announcing that Kuhn Was not doinjr his best work. was not to blame in the Kuhn bout," Foster said, "and waa winning by a big margin when I stopped the mill.

He made several good shows for me in El Dorado and 1 am Fure the fans here will like him. He is mixing it all the time, Dempsey Invests His Earnings in Realty on Coast Rr PTVYON. (ralversal frvk Stuff Corrnpondfnt.) (Ci'nKh', by t'nivrflal Barvlee.) New York, Nov. 3. Dempsey and his manager, Kearns, are putting their money into Los Angeles property.

A dispatch states that they have completed the purchase of a big apartment house. Dempsey, with several years of activity before him, ought to retire the richest man the ring has ever known. Kearns, splitting Dempsey's income on a fifty-fifty basis, with the champion, ought to quit the game with an equal fortune. Seven years ago Dempsey was a hobo, penniless. Kearns was flat bvoke, trying to get "Red" Watson, tho California lightweight, into condition for one more fight to ce' enough money to pay rent.

The rise of Dempsey ard Keirns, financially, is a remarkable story. One of the richest fighters that ever lived was John Gully, called Gully the Great. He was one of England's early heavyweights. However, Gully made most of his money after he left the ring. He opened a big racing establishment and when he died he left a considerable fortune.

He probably did not approach the money Kearns and Dempsey have made since Dempsey won the title. In the last year they must have groised mors than STSO.OOO, a record unequaled in the centuries of pugilism. They are apt to gross much more In 1921, unless Dempsey should lose his title.
