SI, Texd U. 17. A triple-featured auto race card, with a field of championship calibre and the pilots matched to insure close and fast racing, is slated for the Louisiana State Fair track this afternoon, starting at 8 p. m. Mile.

Joan LaCosta, world's champion girl race driver and the dainty little daredevil who smashed all feminine sneed marks by hitting 145.4 miles per hour at Jacksonville Beach, will attempt to howl over her own speed record for mile dirt tracks as one of the triple features. A twenty-mile sweepstakes run, divided into two well-matched preliminaries and a final that should out-thrill any run ever seen here, is a second feature, with eight drivers scheduled to go to the tape Ray Lampkin, dirt track champion, and the man who last week smashed the World's mile record for half-mile tracks, will attempt to lower the world's mile record in the third feature. He will wheel the giant, powerful three-mile-a-minute Wisconsin Special in his race against time, the same machine with which he set the new world record: the same machine which hit 180.2 miles per hour on the beach to smash all world records; the same machine which holds more dirt track records than any other ear ever built. i As if this were not enough, there will also be a novelty race, the nature of which will be announced on the track, and other events, an addition to a full program of circus and vaudeville acts on the grandstand platform. Lamkin, who has practically cinched the world's dirt track title for ths year, will start a favorite in the sweepstakes, when he pilots his dynamic little Miller Special.

Ha needs only one decisive win to aasure the giant trophy, emblematic of the championship, and if he takes the Shreveport events he will have clinched the title Oscar "Swede" Anderson, pilot of the first Baby Fiat imported to America and built along the same lines as the powerful Fiats ef other years, Is Lampkin's clostest competitor in the championship, and will also start today. If there were no other entries worth while, the starting of Lampkin and Anderson would assure speedy, thrilling events, according to race critics. The field, however, boasts many more hcadlincrs; winners in events through a season crowded with racing upsets. Emory "Spunk" Collins, the little fighting Canadian, who has won the championship of the northern neighbor for three years, is here with a Yale Special. Johnny Waters, well-known to all southern fans for having twice won the championship of Dixie, will be here with one of Louis Chevrolet's powedful Frontenacs.

Swan "Petey" Peterson, another Norse pilot, rated a singlar daredevil in his own mid-west, has one ef the Frontys and should be up in front. Arch Powell, Iowa champion, will have a Wisconsin, a machine with one of the powerful big-cylin-dered Wisconsin motors. Bobby Green, Florida beach champion and voungtest of track stars, will wheel his own Florida Special, while Bob "Red" Maley, the Iowa challenger, will start in a Mitsi Siecial. Rains of the last few days have put the track in record shape even if no work were done on it, and with the rolling, floating and dragging which ha been going on preparatory for the races, race and fair officials predict one of the greates1; snecd programs ever run for a southern race crowd. six yards on line plays as the game ended.

Kramer gained three yards and on the next play advanced to midfleld with the pigskin.

The Teachers here started their forward march. Centenary was penalized five yards and Kramer was stopped by Hamel with no gain. Van Noy skirted his right end for three yards and Kramer went over over for first down. It was Oklahoma's ball on the 42-yard line and Dennis went over 'center to the Cents' 23-ynrd line. Kramer failed to gain but Dennis picked up three yards.

Courtney and Kramer worked a 15-yard pass, putting the ball on Centenary's five-yard line. Kramer went over tackle for a touchdown and Roach kicked goal. Schrock went in for Johnson for the Teachers just before Rebfamen kicked to Dennis who carried the ball back to the 40-yard line. Jeffries threw Dennis for a 10-yard loss and Kepke and Beam cut off an attempted end run. Roach then dropped out of the line and punted to Centenary's 40-yard line, where the ball was downed by Scott.

All-day and Beam found the enemy's terminal berths hard to eircle and a pass was tried, Allday to Smith, but it missed its mark. Allday punted to Oklahoma's 20-ysrd line, Oklahoma returned the punt after a few plays and Allday took the ball in inidfield. Centenary lost the ball when All-day fumbled, but they were unable to make any headway and were forced to punt. The ball went to Centenary on the 20-yard line and the quarter ended after one play. Beam passed 23 yards to Ilamel for counter when Hogg carried the oval through the line for one yard, after Slay had covered a free ball, the pigskin being thus as a result of Millsaps breaking through to block a try for field goal under tho shadow of the Majors' goal.

The Bulldogs se-. cured the winning touchdown a few moments later when Pryor picked up yard line and wont 85 yards down a open field. Millsaps scored its only touchdown of the day when Francis passed to Blount over the goal line, after Francis had returned a punt to the 15-yard line, and bucks by Crawford and Wascom, together with a five-yard penalty, placed the ball en the one-root line. The game was marred by frequent fumbles, but despite the wet field the game was a hotly contested one, Hogg and Hair showed best among the visiting backfield men, while Ycldell starred in the Polytech line. Francis, Crawford and Wascom did well in tho Major backfield, while McManus at center, Peevy at tackle, and Blount at end showed up well in the Millsaps line.

MULE OF ARMY KICKS OLD ELI, 75,000 ATTEND New Haven, Oct. 80 The Bulldog was no match for the Mule Saturday and the Army gridiron stalwarts ran rough shod over Yale to the tune of 33 to 0. A capacity gathering of 75,000 in the Yale bowl including the corps ef 1,200 cadets, saw the powerful West Point eleven continue its unbeaten march by overwhelming the Blue In a battle punctuated by the erratic play of th.

Elis and a steady stream of penalties. It was the first time the Cadets have conquered Yale on Eli soil and the first victory for the soldiers since 1911 when the Blue met defeat on the plains of West Point. It was also the most decisive triumph recorded by either team in the series' which began in 1893 and had its twenty-fifth revival this afternoon in a colorful setting. The Army won because it profited by Yale's mistakes and in Spite of its own penchant for being penalised. The Cadets were penalized 14 times for offside play in the first half COLUMBIAGOES WILD AS TEAM TRIMS CORNELL New York, Oct.

30 (Universal Serv. ice). The shock of defeating Cornell for the first time in history was too much for Columbia students this afternoon. Their celebration, which -started with uprooting the goal posts, turned into a riot shortly after the whistle had blown on a 17 to 9 victory. Riot calls were sent out and phnlanxes of the brawniest Micks on the New York police force sought to suppress the uproar.

one of the best drilled and cleanest playing teams seen in Shreveport year. Pcnsltics on both sides were few and far between Saturday afternoon, only four setbacks being made throughout the evening. Getting within striking distance of the opposition's goal and unable to make any headway with a running or forward pass attack, the coach invariably falls back on his kicking specialist and rushes him into the game with a hope that his trusty toe may score three points. Last season and this year as well, the drop kicker is in highest favor. There are any number of players who excel in this department.

When the forward pass fails and the running attack flivvers in the crisis, the goal from field is always a last resort. This feature of play was well illustrated in Michigan 10-0 victory over Illinois. The two teams were more evenly mstched thsn the score shows. Captain Friedman of Michigan, unable to ret away with his passes and having his running attack stopped, stepped back and booted two goals from placement, the first one bsing enough to insure a Michigan victory. Not only is the kicking specialist a most valuable asset in scoring goal from the field but equally important in the try for a point after touchdown.

It is really surprising how many games this year have been decidad by a one-point margin. It is this great uncertainty now existing in modern football that makes th sport so popular. The underdog alwars has a ehaac. AGGIE ELEVEN OF MISSISSIPPI GETS HARD LICK Starkville, Miss, Oct 20 On The University of Tennessee Volunteers were masters of the gridiron stalwarts of Mississippi A. and M.

in rain and mud here Saturday and triumphed over the Maroons, 33 to 0. The visitors exhibited the finest brand of football seen on the Farmers' field in many years and easily earned their victory in line charging drives and end skirting sweeps which eluded mud-veneerd tacklcrs of the Maroon squad. The Aggies were on the defensive throughout. The Tennesseans scored in the first period by consistent drives right down the field and added to their total in every quarter, Thirteen points were piled up in the second division of play. The Farmers made only four first downs against their conquerors.

Fumbles by A. and M. backs and the great defensive combination of the invaders kept the ball in Aggie territory. Rice, Elmore and Young staged a startling exhibition of line plunging and broken field running which lasted until the final whistle. Burnhill, giant Tcnnessean, proved hi risht to consideration for the mythical all-routhern squad by his smashing tactics on the offensive.

SIDELIGHTS The Gentlemen-Teachers game Saturday afternoon, was "anybody's game" until tha final whistle. One minute the Gentlemen had the hall in Central's territory, and the next it was in Csntenary's half of ths field. Everybody was on pins and needles throughout the contest. The 3,000 rooters went wild In the last five minutes of the fourth quarter when the score stood 10 to 7 in favor of the Teachers and when the Gentlemen developed a kick from placement Into a forward pass of 35 yards from Charlie Smith to Hamel for their second touchdown and the winning points. Centenary's student body left the stands on the Smitb-Hsmel feat and took to the feild.

It was all that Doctor Sexton and the many "coppers" could do to keep the field clear, TW Gentlemen won the toss and chose to start on the defense by kicking off. Central defended the east goal. Cap Rebsamen did the "booting" for Centenary. It didn't take Letteer long to run 45 yards, to within several feet of the uprights in the first five minutes of play. When, after several attempts to skirt left end failed, he finally got around Woods, Central's stellar left end.

On the next play Letteer took the ball over for the six points. Centenary presented another co-ed cheerleader in little Miss Evelyn Norton, daughter of Coach Norton. Evelyn was In on every yell and showed as much pep as her senior, Miss "Dutch" Henderson. The Gentlemen's band was out in full bloom Saturday afternoon, giving the crowd almost continual music. Between the band and the cheering led by Cheerleaders Higginbotham, Bango and Miss Henderson the noise making never ceased.

The Teachers had th crowd almost breathless in the second quarter when thev worked the ball down within a few feet of the Gentlemen's roal. They were held for three downs in their tracks and then attempted a forward pass which if completed would have given them a score. The rain which threatened for a few minutes before the game failed to make its appearance. A semi-cloudy sky kept the hot sun off the players and helped to hasten the game a few minutes. Cheerlesder Higginbotham's tumbling team from Centenary's gym gave a demonstration between the halves with a nnmbcr ot new tumbling stunts.

The team kept the anxious crowd thrilled and gave them plenty of laughs. The Teachers from Oklahoma brought to Shreveport to tackle the Gentlemen one of the heaviest teams Centenary has tackled this season. Central showed the State Fair crowd trifle In defeating Dartmouth, ws scored on, the final count being 11-7. Cornell was twice scored on by-Michigan State, while Johns Hopkins crossed the Pennsylvania goal line. In "Big Ten" circles Wisconsin alone kept its goal line uncrossed in the first three games of the year.

Incidentally, Wisconsin also figured in one of the unusuAl sort of games, a scoreless tie with Purdue. From three points to 40 have been scored on the nine other members of the Big Ten in the same number of games. Northwestern is low with three, a field goal by Carlcton, while Minnesota is high. East, west, south and north the same conditions prevail. Ort tha coast California, made famous by the late Andy Smith, already has been twice beaten.

Little Sr. Mary's college and the Oregon Aggies both overwhelmed the Bears. A good place kicker or drop kicker is now a most important factor on every football team. As a matter of fact, a great many coaches have gone so fsr ss to develop specialists in the kicking line. Very often these players have no particular qualities other than their ability to boot tha ball across the bar either from placement or a drop kick.

They play a part very much like the substitute batsman t. baseball, their big chance usually coming in the old pinch. Baltimore, Oct, 30. Defying forecasts that made Michigan an overwhelming favorite, the Navy defeated the Western conference football champions here Saturday, 10 to 0. The winning points were made through a goal from the 25-yard line by Hamilton in the third period and a touchdown by Caldwell and point afterward by Hamilton in the fourth period.

1 More than 1,000 wild-eyed and hoarse midshipmen were telling the world Saturday night that they have forgotten all about a 54 to 0 defeat suffered at the hands and feet of Michigan about this time last year. The Navy earned its victory Saturday. The Sailors stood the Wolverines off in the first half, although the Westerners threatened in the second period. The Navy guns got the range in the second half when a' nautical atmosphere prevailed throughout. The winners outplayed the in the last two periods.

The Wolverines came close but the target shooting was being done by the navy. VanderbUt Commodores Romp Upon Southwestern Nashville, Oct. 30 (JPh-VanderbUt raced away with Southwestern university in the third period today when four touchdowns were scored. The final score was 65 to 0. Southwestern put up a good fight in the scoreless first period against Vanderbilt's second string backs.

Hendriz made three of the third period touchdowns while. Creson grabbed a pass from Farnsworth and went 20 yards for the fourth. CHAMPIONS PLAY IT DRIVING FROM TEE Brassie MAY BE IttEO oh Fairway aiso Is It good practice to use a brassie driving from the tee? If so why? not, why not?

Once released the dog will put on all speed and run to his master. After each race, the owner takes his dog to the kennel and dips his four feet in bucket of wattrr to remove dirt from under his clawi and between his toes. He then Inspects the animal, making a careful examination to see that he is not injured. Feeding time usually is about midnight after the races, the hour making it possible to feed all at the same time regardless of whether they ha7e raced that night. Morning finds the trainer again at the kennel where he takes a knife or manicure file and goes over each nail, removing the dirt and any infection.

Most trainers use a solution for washing the feet to prevent infection and to harden he skin against breaks. then takes a stiff brush and gives his pet a brisk rubbing. The greatest danger to the health of dogs is disteatper, an infection of the nasal passages similar to colds and catarrh which annoys the human race. Ever since greyhound racing assumed a national scope veterinarians have been seeking a cure for distemper, but none have ever found it.

The International Greyhound Racing association which issued a sanction for the meeting of the Jewells Kennel club has offered a reward of 5,000 to any scientist who can concoct a remedy for this malady. Usually If an owner is able to save a deg after an attack of distemper he considers it more a matter of luck than anything else. The treatment is usually similar to that prescribed for humans. Young and inexperienced greyhounds give their trainers the most trouble. It is necessary to put them through a schooling process during which they are taught to get out of the box, run near the inside rail and disregard the other dogs in the race.

This often is a alow, tedious busi I AS 3 Racing Greyhounds Must Be Given Same Attention That Mother Gives to JHer Babe Captain Paul Bebsamen of the Gentlemen had the privilege of kicking after the Bronchos had won tho toss and chose the goal they desired to defend, Rebsamen's boot went to Van Noy on the 10- yard line and he carried It back 20 yards where Rebsamen mada the tackle. The Teachers tried two plays and then Roach cunted to Letteer on tho 35-yard teer picked up the ball In the op position's territory and Hamel dropped back and punted to Okla homa 35-yard line. The Teachers had their first real chancs to run a play and they started on the attack that made them a dangerous foe here for the past two season a forward pass. It was from Van Xoy to Dennis but was incomplete. Dennis fumbled and recovered on the next play, and with van Noy gained only three yards at the line.

Roach was called out of the guard position to punt and sent tho oval to Letteer on the 20-yard line. The "Man-O-War" stumbled and was downed before he could regain his feet. The heavy line held and namel then punted to Oklahoma's 45-yard line. Van Noy was stopped after a two-yard gain by Rebsamen and Van Noy tried a pass that Beam pulled out of the air in midfleld. Just for a change the Gentlemen went to the air routo with Smith passing to Letteer but the heavy was incomplete.

The line failed to hold and Prudham tossed Smith for an eight-yard loss. The line again failed to hold and the Centenary passer was smother snd a loss of ten-yard was suffered. Hamel punted to Oklahoma's 45-yard line and the ball carrier was ness as the dog must he shown what it is all about before he enters into the game. Most trainers like to walk their young dogs around the track a couple of times before they are schooled. Much depends on how the training is begun and the wise conditioner of dogs will soothe and pet the nervous youngster the first time he goes on the track to remove some of his fright.

After running five or six times, he begins to understand what it Is all about and his development thereafter is quick. Thousands after seeing the dogs run at the Jewells track have asked the question: "What makes them run?" The answer depends on the dog. If it is a youngster he runs because he thinks he can catch the hare and have a good feast. If it is an older dog he runs partly by instinct and partly by mob spirit. After awhile he leans that he can never catch the rabbit, but he grows to like the the game very much and enters into it a spirit of competl tion.

He runs to get ahead of the others. Some of the older dogs such as Louie Big Pinky, Ilnmbino, Mysterious Stranger and Husky Whis per pay no attention to the median leal bunny. They wouldn chase it if placed on the track by themselves. But with seven barking competitors around them they are all business and always try their hardest. Many of the trainers transport their kennels from track to track in specially-built automobiles.

In this way they are able to stop whenever they desire, gire the dogs a little ex ercise and reach their destination with the whole outfit in good eondi ine objection to shipping in carload lots is that the run on the railroad does not give them a chance to exercise the dogs for 24 hours, thus getting most of them off their feed. It takes about a week to get them "feeling gooa again. The dogs like racing about as much as the fans of Shreveport, which is plenty. down by Kepke In midfleld, with Rebeaiuen helping out on the tackle. On right end runs Dennis and Van Noy pained nine yards and tho Teachers were in a position to score a first down when Kramer fumbled and Price was on the ball, giving Centenary tho pigskin on their own 46-yard line.

Letteer started on a sweeping c-nd run and then cut back to dodge a couple of tackier gaining an open field. He passed the safety man and raced 62 yards to Oklahoma two-yard line when he was downed from behind. On the next play he dove over center to score a touchdown and Smtth added the extra point by kicking goal. There was an exchange of punts after the kickoff and on a return boot Letteer signaled for a fair catch. The ball was put In play by short kick by Rebsamen but It was called back and Oklahoma penalized for beine off-side.

The next kick went to tho enemy's 10-yard line and it was returned 20 yards. The Teachers went rlsht back to the forward pass game on receiving the ball and Van Noy completed a pretty heave to Courtney for 20 yards and he ran to Centenary's 40- yard mark before being downed.
