CARTER CENTRAL STATES 1EACHXRS of Edmonds, who came here Friday with the avowed intention of getting revenge on the Centenary Gentlemen in their annual gridiron clash at the Louisiana State Fair for two previous defeats were all set to ride their Broncho back to the west in triumph when something happened near the close of the bootball battle Saturday to stampede their outfit and send Porkers From Arkansas Have, One Game Edge In Clash With Louisiana State Eleven WHEN the Arkansas Razorback gridders and the Louisiana Tigers clash in the State Fair stadium Saturday it will mark the nineteenth time the two elevens have engaged in battle for the football supremacy of the two states. Of the 18 contests played to date the Cardinal eleven from up in the Ozarks have emerged triumphant in nine of them, with one clash a tie, giving Coach Francis A. Schmidt's.

Cardinal-clad grjdsters a margin of one game. In the matter of points scored the Razorbacks lead by a large majority, having succeeded in amassing a total of 245 points to the Tigers 161.

The Razorbacks Meet the Tigers in Their Annual Clash et the State Fair A'exf Until last year, when tha backs administered the fourth straight beating to the Tigers, neither team had ever defeated the other more than three straight. Another interesting feature of the annual schedule between the two is that the present coaches of each team took charge of their respective squads in 1922, Schmidt coming to Arkansas from Tulsa that year, and Donohue leaving Auburn to assume leadership at the Baton Rouge school at the same time. The elevens of Schmidt hsve proved the nemisis for those of the versatile Mike's, in that Arkansas has not lost to Louisiana since the former Tulsa mentor changed his athletic affiliations. The present series between the two teams started back in 1900, when they battled to a 8 to 6 tie, anVl have continued with few interruptions.

Records show that they failed to meet on the gridiron in 1907 and 1918. Arkansas boasts of the two most overwhelming victories, scoring 61 points in the 1910 elash and 40 points in 1922, Louisiana going scoreless in the first and registering a single touchdown in the last. The biggest Louisiana victory came in mots, when the Tiger ran up a scoro of 33 points to Arkansas' four. So important has become the an-nuaL contest with tho Tiger and Arkansas that the student bodies supports the squad with the idea that the game is about the biggest on the schedule. Accordingly this year the student pep organisations have arranged for special trains to carry the large student delegations to Shreveport.

At Fayetteville booster tickets have already been placed on sale to provide for funds to carry a 40-piece band along with tho rooters. It Two Longshots Score at STATE NORMAL RUNS WILD OVER JEFFERSON COLLEGE ON NATCHITOCHES GRIDIRON them down to defeat for a third That "something" iaat came to1 tas was a 45-vard aerlsi heave from Charlie Smith, diminutive halfback, to Clarenee Hamel, diminutive end, (that floated beyond the goal line to result in a touchdown. It was just like Halley's comet out of the sky. Three thousand grid fans, on both tides of the State Fair stadium, "were momentarily struck dumb and eleven Oklahoma football players on the field of action were all out paralyzed with surprise at the happening. At the time of the 45-yard throw the Oklahoma Teachers were leading by a score of 10 to 7 and there appeared practically no ehance of the Gents moving into the lead.

For two quarters, the second and the third, the Centenary crew had failed to make any progress against the westerners, while Oklahoma had come from behind to overcome a seven point lead the Gentlemen had gained in the opening stanza. The winning play was made when only a couple of minutes remained of the battle. The spectators went wild with joy and the visiting gridders were not able to pull themselves together after the shock. The Gents were fighting with their backs to the wall when they made the desperate move that brought them to the fore, Only a few minutes before they had watched Diamond Roach, a 205-pounder. plant a field goal between the uprignts for three points that gave Oklahoma a 10 to 7 msrgin.

With play in roidfield, an Oklahoma plsyer fumbled and Leon Trice recovered. It gave Centenary the ball on their 80-yard line. Allday and Let-teer failed to make any notable gains on two plays and the Gents' opportunity was fleeing. On an end run I-etteer was downed near the sideline. The Centlemen's board of strategy met and they, lined up in place-kick formation.

It was a difficult angle for a boot, hut the Centenary rooters were hoping for the best. A well-placed kick would give them a tie tattle. Beam, Letteer and Allday jigged around in the backfield as Smith prepared for his kick. The enemy backfield spread out to knock down the boot if it came near the goal post while the linemen prepared to rush the kicker. As the ball was snapped Hamel started directly on a parallel with the sideline.

The pigskin landed in the hands of Smith, Irat there was no kick. Charlie fcaeked up to the 40-yard line to have plenty of time to accomplish his task. Hamel got set on the goal line and Smith let tha eval fly. It went directly to its mark, a touchdown. Smith then kieked goal.

It gave the Gentlemen tha lead at 14 to 7. Oklahoma went back to its passing game on receiving the ball after the touchdown, but they were not steady with the heaves. One was incomplete. Marsailia knocked down another and Rebsamen intercepted one that gave the Gentlemen possession the ball up until the final whistle founded. That long 40-yard heave was not ttis first pass that Hamel took out of the air.

The little terminal player caught a couple of throws and one time tossed a ZO-yard pass from a punt formation that pulled his team out of the danger lone. Before "Bar" Allday got into battle Hamel did the punt.ng for the locals. "Man-o'-War" Letteer gave the Gents a six-point advantage to work on In the very first quarter when be stepped 52 yards to the Bronchos' to-yard line before being downed and then went over on the next play for a touchdown. Smith brought the score to seven with a goal after touchdown. Neither team had really' warmed up to battle when Letteer started his sprint.

It earn on the first play after Price had recovered fumble on Centenary's 45-yard line. Up Until that time the teams had only exchanged The Bronchos scored their touchdown in the third quarter when thev registered three first downs in a row after Oklahoma bad taken the ball in midfield on an exchange of Natchitoches, Oct. 30 (Special). Coach Prathor's State Normal Demon ran stark wild over the Jefferson college eleven from Convent, on the Normal field Saturday afternoon, forcing the visitors to tako the small end of a 38 to 13 count, in one of the best games seen on the local field in some time and the first win of the year for Normal. Jefferson college presented only a forward passing machine and they did not Tun with the oval more than 15 times.

Out of 30 passes they completed 11, two of these resulting in counts. Normal took the ball on the kick-off from the visitors and marched on down the field for the first score after five minutes of play in the first quarter. Towards the last part of tho quarter, Normal was held for downs and the hall went to Jefferson on their own 20-yard line. On the first play Flick passed to Edmondson for 23 yards and he ran the rest of the distance for a counter and they kicked goal Just before the quarter ended. The Demons counted twice In the second quarter, the first coming after the Teachers took the oval on a punt from their ewn 43-yard line and Eastin scored from the one yard line.

The second score came when Miller completed a pass to Barham for 45 yards and a counter. A pass from Miller to Lloyd Walker netted 20 yards and a score in the third quarter, which made the, count 27 to 7 in favor of the Teachers. A few minutes after the opening of the last quarter, Jefferson scored on a 20-yard pass from Rousolle to Edmondson. They failed to kick goal. Normal followed up the visitors' score by counting ajain when Eastin went through the center of the line for 12 yards and a count.

The Teachers counted again In the last quarter just before the final whistle when Miller completed a pass with Jones for IS yards. The Teachers presented one of the best teams of the year and every Saturday. member of the squad who saw action played a stellar brand of football. In the line, Caldwell, Jones, Knight and Aiken stood out, whilo every back showed an excellent style of playing. Miller's passing easily put the Teachers out of danjer, while L.

Walker and George Eastin phowed a good vogue of broken fieid running and line bucking. The well established defense against the air attack showed by the Demons kept them on the winning end of tha count. Most of the playing was in the op. position's territory throughout the contest. Normal totaled 24 first downs while tho visitors made a total of seven first downs.

In the second quarter the visitors got within scoring diS' tance of Centenary's goal, but a missed field goal caused them to lose ground. Tha contest in the majority was a forward passing one.

The Gents' line held well against the heavier front wall of the visitors and early in the game the Bronchos went to the air route. Oklahoma made 21 passes, ten wera completed, eight failed and three were intercepted. The Gents worked four passes successfully and failed with four. Not one of their heaves landed in the arms of the opposition. The Bronchos proved the best ground gainers and scored nine first downs to Centenary's five.

Two were made in tha first quarter. They added two more in the second and then lost ground on a missed place kick. Three first downs in the third paved the way for a score. Two in the last quarter enabled the visitors to get close enough to score a field goal. Letteer scored a first down for Centenary with his long run in the first quarter.

Although tha weight advantage was in their favor, the Teachers did not Beem to care about making much use of It.

They relied a great deal on 'Van Noy's passing. The quarterback showed he was very clever and had a good running mate in Courtney. Woods on left end was in nearly every place and playad a rushing game, several times driving the Gents' ball carriers back for a loss. Captain Paul Eebsamen, although handicapped by a sore knee, played a jam up game. His work on the defense at times was spectacular.

Ted Jeffries in the backfield was a tower of strength on the defense. The outcome of the battle was a surprise to many. When the enemy grew too dangerous the Gents" lino Buckled up and Roach was forced to punt. He tore off some nice boots, but Hamel's kicking did not suffer to any extent when compared with tha man from the west, MOBILE DIAMOND FRANCHISE ASKED BY JACKSONVILLE Mobile, Oct. 30 (P).

It is made doubly so for Arkansas, since the ruling of the Southwestern conference officials that the game will count in Arkansas' official standing in tho title race. Coach Schmidt's eleven boasts of 12 veteran letter men, with several, of the 1925 reserves as a neucleu for one of the strongest teams that Arkansas has had in several years. Six veterans, three of them serving their third year on the varsity as regulars, and one sophomore comprise the starting forward wall for the Rasorbacks.

Captain Herman Boosman, center; Gus Japp, tackle, and former Captain Brad Scott, guard, are the third-year veterans. Big Glen Rose, all-southwestern basket ball guard and football tackle, is back at his post of left talkie, while Coleman and Cowger, letter men, are starting ends. The sophomore member of the line is "Firpo" Gentry, a former Oklahoma high school star. The same backfield that faced the Tiger line in 1925 is back in the harness. Cole, Chipman and Dhonau, the midget trio, along with Ox Smith, the El Dorado veteran fullback, will carry the brunt of the attack.

Reserve material Is fairly plentiful, especially in the backfield, with perhaps a scarcity of first-class men in tho erriQ urn. plays in 1926.

HAYNESVILLE HI TORNADO BOWLS MONROE ELEVEN Haynesville, Oct.

30 (Special). Haynesvilla high Tornado swept over a heavy muddy treacherous field and downed the Monroe Tigers, 25 to 0.

The second half saw more scoring, Plummcr going thoruph tho line for a touchdown in the third quarter. The kick for point failed.

In the fourth quarter May grabbed a fumbled punt and raced for a touchdown. The kick for point failed. The play of Baueum at halfback was a feature of the game, he ran and tackled and blocked for his team continually. Robert, at center, continued to outplay his opopnent, he was called on to play against. His all around play was good and in his fourth year ho has shown to great advantage over the field of centers in the statu.

Oadcnhcad, Jarrcll, A. Maddox, May, Miller and Traylor played their usually good game. The Haynesville team kept several of their regular men on the lines and developed a few reserves today, Monroe's highly praised hacks failed to get going due to the charging line. The entire Monroe squad fought hard and several times held the Tornado for downs. Monroe resorted to forward passes in the last half and mado two first downs.

The nearest they came to Haynes-ville'a goal was the 85-yard ilne. The officials were Wilbanks, referee; Clark, headlinesman; Bubcnzer, umpire. A large crowd witnessed the contest, despite threatening weather. Arcadia Hangs Up Best Score of Prep Teams Arcadia, Oct. 30 (Special-).

The Arcadia high school football eleven set a Louisiana prep school fcorins reeord here Friday afternoon when they piled up a total of 103 points Bgainst Bernice high school in a one-sided ame. The first touchdown came after one minute of play, when Rich snatched a pass and raced bO yards for a score. Bernice was held scoreless. The game was marked by a heavy air attack by the Arcadia eleven, which paved the way for an ava RECORDS THAT WILL STAND, THE fellows who witnessed that merry bombardment of base hits and home runs in the early days of the 1925 Texas league campaign will be able to sit hack in the old days and tell their grandchildren of those glorious sights "that probably will never come again." A. comparison the records made in 1925 and 1926 campaigns prove that one of those sensational baseball marks established in the year of 1925 will live on forever.

The greatest feat of that 1925 race was the home run hitting enjoyed by the league as a whole. One thousand two hundred and four circuit blows were delivered, setting a high water mark for all timet The record for the season of 1926 was but 687, cutting about forty per cent, off the mark of the previous year. In the Waco park where 234 circuit swats were knocked in the year of 1925 there were but 160 for the past season. The biggest thing in favor of the 1925 record standing is the fact that only eleven homers were hit in the new San Antonio park last year. In 1925 there were 159 homers in the small park of the Sears.

There were 142 homers hit in the old Fort Worth park two season ago and only 20 this year on the new place. There were 51 homers in the Dallas park in 1926 against 68 the previous year. Wichita Falls was the lucky spot for the long distance wallopers in 1926 for 165 homers were made there. Waco was second with 160 and Beaumont third with 148. Shreveport had 89 and Hous-, ton 33.

The days of over one thousand home runs per season are gone forever.

SO WV Pennsylvania, conqueror of three eastern foes, earns west, saw and was conquered by Illinois Saturday in a game dramatically won in the last three minutes of play, producing a climax that brought hysteria to the crowd of 6E.000 spectators, The score was 3 to 0. Frosty Peters, the mercury from the Montana plains, won the game for Illinois by booting a field Koal from the 15-yard line, after the hngo trowd was almost ready to start for the exits, believing that the contest would result in disappointing scoreless battle. For three periods and half of the fourth there was nothing to choose between these two elevens.

The lines stood shoulder to shoulders plaving an astonishing defensive battle. Illinois in particular stood off the thrusts of the pbantom-like Pennsylvania backfield, smashing up their hidden hall formations, fre- season the pennant of the Texas league might have drifted to other quarters than Snipe Conley's clubhouse. Blankenship was a thorn in the side of the present champions. He started against the Steers five times and won out four. The big young right handcr did not get much chance to show against Honus Mitze's San Antonio Bears but he finished with colors flying when he did.

He won his only tame atrainst San Antonio. The Waco Cubs were like putty in the hands of Blankenship. He scored out a defeat. Elaltkenship has been recalled by the White Sox for a trial in 1927 but the local club owners have an application for him in the event he is returned to the minors for more experience. The success Blankenship had in this league is being used as a weapon by the club owners to get the pitcher back.

They will find opposition, however, as the double A's in all probability will try to land him. 4 4 fST BARNABEE PUT NAME ON BOOKS.
