lie-feated by two touchdowns, outgeneraled and, saving in that last despe.r-ate period clearly outplayed, the Gentlemen from shreveport were force! to pay tribute to the Eagle aggregation mostly through mistakes that rave tha locals their two biff opportunities. A line of tremendous strength, a fceckfield of singular brilliancy and a combination that needs only longer aeasoning to become one of the dreaded elevens of the country, had to take the count when over-eager linesmen and nervous backs committed faults that McMillin had coached them to avoid. And yet these Gentlemen went down fighting, even with the score standing 14 to 0, these southerners, refusing to admit defeat and hoping ven in the eleventh hour to stage a comeback that would wipe out the heavy handicap, give a etriking illustration of the strength and resourcefulness that has made them the most colorful aggregation in the south-" west. Undismayed by the crippling ef the giant, Hubbard, their "big ce on attack and defense, and persevering in spite of the tremendous loss of yardage accrusing from Chuck Darling's mighty kicks, this McMillin coached outfit, exuding wonderful powers and contributing flashes of an attack that came very near attaining the desired objective, had the Eagles with their backs against the wall in this final period, with only a tactical error between them and touchdown. The Centenary Gentlemen, coached to play Centra College football, and tutored by the man who did most to make Centre College started an offensive that had the Boston line at their wits ends to check.

But for the singular selection of an ill-advised play by Quarterback White, the Centenarians might have left Braves' field defeated but not whitewashed. In the final chapter of a game that had been featured by the magnificent punting of Captain Chuck Darling, as well as by Kaslowsky's grand tackle play, a combination that went towards allowing the Eagles to triumph, this fighting aggregation from the South, staging the most spectacular offensive seen in the entire game, carried the ball to the Eaglce' 2-yard mark only to lose it on downs, and with its surrender their one great chance to reach a touchdown. On a march down the field, a battering, amashing attack and the accomplishment of a series of successful forward passes, the Gentlemen had taken the oval from their own 28-yard line. Only one more yard wan necessary for first down and this would have allowed the visitors four tries to gain the three feet necessary to score. The Boston College line, exhausted by tha terrific drain on its strength, outweighed in some cases more than SO pounds to the man, beaten and buffed by the mass of bone and brawn that had pounded them nearly Into helplessness, and with tie great Koslowsky forced out of the line-up with successive injuries, was almost passive in resistance.

They had done their best, but the pile-driving attack of Centenary had begun to take its toll. One more savagfe phinge at guard er tackle, one more onward heave of that ton of sinew and bone would almost certainly have carried everything before it and allowed Ferrall or any of his mates to place the oval behind the goal line. But while, either through lack of ronfidence in his backfield, or figuring that the forward pass, which had worked so successfully nearer mid-field, would catch the Eagles unawares, at this juncture and make the path to a touchdown easy while elected to try one more forward heave and the effort ended in dis aster.

Tha Lisbon high i-chool football team played the Taliulah high Friday to a 6 to 6 tie. Botn teams were about evenly matched as to weight, but Lisbon easily out-j layed their opponents, making 21 first downs to their opponents' 8. Tliree times Lisbon carried the ball to Tallulah's five-yard line, but each lime was pena.izecl 15 yards for holding. This is the first time that Taliulah has been scored on this year and Lisbon has lost only one game, that being to Haynesvi.le high, and each team played brilliant ball throughout the entire game. End runs and passes were features of the Taliulah team, while line bucks und end runs constituted most of Lisbon's offense.

About 500 spectators saw the game. The whole game was marred to a certain extent when, with five minutes to play, a free-for-all fight between the eleven Lisbon men on the field and the Taliulah team and followers of both sides. Claiming they were tired of the slugging and rough playing they said they were receiving several of "the Lisbon players began fighting their opponents; this broueht about 200 Taliulah supporters on the field, the result being that several of the Lisbon boys were badly bruised.

The Gentlemen's chances vanished, with it went the surrender of the ball, and crestfallen by the loss of a great opportunity the Centenarians practically gave up the ghost as the closing minutes of the fray saw the Eagles staging an 'offensive of their own that might have resulted in a third score, but for lack of time.

The Gentlemen were defeated yes- tcrday but they tried every second of the way. Their gameness was proven when they arose in the closing minutes of the first quarter to battle their foe within only two feet of a touchdown. An incomplete forward pass from the two yard line spoiled their chances of a score.

Many of the folks at home expected that the Gentlemen would hit the line for the two yard gain and the touchdown, and were surprised when the "air route" was resorted to. It wis probably one of the "surprises" that tho McMillin men had figured on but could not be worked. It is easy to account for the fumbles and "off-sides" of the Gentlemen when it is known how they worried over their big battle for so long. They were anxious in fact over anxious and this anxiety probably caused "Mig Clyde" Wafer, captain, to step into his opponent's territory before play was started, and thus draw for his team a penalty. The penalty came at critical time and was followed with a touchdown.

A fluke kick off that travelled only a short distance also worked to a disadvantage for Centenary. Fate is a fickle worker.

Beat Padgett.

"In the training camps I got plenty of time to improve my new trade. When I came out I knew quite a few points about the boxing game. I went back to the ranch and started to work, filling in as a boxer when ever I could get a date. I have been at it a couple of yeurs now, and have found out its a pretty good paying business. Many of the boxers in the East knew but little about me when I reported there, but I had a good lino of them.

I had plenty of ring expeVience, starting as a kid, and believe I surprised a few of them." Smith waa one of the first men in the middlewest to stop the winning streak of Cowboy Padgett. He met I'adgett about one year ago when the latter was creating a sensation. He gave Tadgett a trimming. Just before that he won from Roy Con-ley, a stablemate of I'adgett. Both Conley and Padgett have fought before a Shreveport audience.

Smith continued on In the West, winning from Harvey Thorpe, Morris Schlaiefer, Tommy Lux and a few others until he was induced to take his cowboy hat, chaps, and rode to Chicago, where he could be in the center of boxing activities. He stepped out quite a bit in cities just outside of Chicago, and won so frequently that he got a match with Jack Palmer, the Philadelphia sensation, and the boy credited with giving Mickey Walker a tough battle. Palmer was on the receiving end of a beating. That contest made Smith in the East. He has had no trouble getting work since.

For the bout SfuticTay flight at the Shreveport Athletic club with Frankie Murphy, of Denver, Smith has worlrrd hard. He arrived here Wednesday and within an hour after arriving was in the gymnasium training. He has had the assistance of George Kuhn, local middleweight, and Frankie McFarland, featherweight, in getting into shape. The mill is scheduled to go 15 rounds and Smith is working against the chances of tiring over the long distance. Murphy is a rougv, tough fellow and practically the same type of miller as Smith.

He depends on his wallop to win, and his record of bouts shows the names of many good 142-pounders. On two occasions he met George Kuhn. In the first contest he was the winner. In the second bout the bout was stopped by the referee, who said Kuhn was not doing his best. Foster Says Good Show.

Tromoter Frank Foster, of the Shreveport A. is basing his hopes for a good show on the slugging ability of both boys. "I've been keeping sm eye on Smith's work for some time," Foster said, "and have been watching him as an opponent for Murphy. When Jimmy Dnvant, manager of Tillie Kid Herman, was in tl Dorado recently I asked him to make Smith an offer for a show. Davant boosted Smith highly.

A few days later I received Manager Alvis' terms for the Cowboy, I am counting upon him making my opening show a big succes and from what he has shown in training I feel certain he will. Murphy has Bhown that he is a willing fighter a mixer." Grady Franklin, the pride of newspaper row, and Shreveport's offering for 118-pound honors, will meet Young Stanley, of Youngstown, in the semi-final. Franklin will find Stanley a tough customer, one who keeps crowding and inviting slugging bee. The boxers will windup their training program this afternoon. In addition to tha main event and semifinal there will be a four-round preliminary Monday night.

Washington U. Fails for First Down on Kansas Lawrence, Nov, 10. The University of Kansas won a lopsided football game here today, defeating Washington University of St. Louis S3 to 0. From the opening of the game until the final whistle, the Kansons were on the offensive.
