'Sacjre-rU S. S. A. 8. Touchdown.

Uuidry. One the fiercest games of football ever witnessed on a local field and at the name time one of the prettiest resulted in the defeat of the Shrevepct Athletic association eleven yesterday afternoon by Captain Kennedy's eleven of the Louisiana State university, It was the first game of the season for the S. A. A. and it was the first defeat that the team has met with in the two seasons since it was organized.

The eleven put up an extraordinary fight, however, and not only were the spectators surprised by the showing but toe L. S. U. men discovered before ftve minutes of play that they were up against the hardest proposition that they have met with this season. Had it not been for two accidents, if what happened may be so described, the final Score would have been very different fini victory would have perched upon the purple and white instead of the purple gold.

After about eight minutes of. play. in the half Sebastian Went around the L. S. V.

end tor forty yards, but ran out of the line, probably before he knew it, when "within good falling distance of the Sxml line. It was amagniflcent dash across the field and a splendid evasion of tackles, but in trying U. man who came from some where in the field who was evidently guarding his goal line, Sebastian ran out of the line. Then it was that L. S.

U. rallied and managed to hold the line and get the ball on downs, thereby saving the day. A few iminutea later Brown attempted the name sort of play around the right end and advanced five yards, but was tackled while trying to avoid the crowd that had encroached on the field. But for the interference of the crowd he could have avoided the field, and if he ould not have made a touchdown the "ball would at least have been taken frar. enough for a touchdown to have been made with the successive gains that were subsequently made.

In offensive and defensive playing I S. U. had the advantage. In strategy and interference for end plays the advantage was on the S. A.

A. side. The two teams were evenly balanced, all things being considered, but the S. A. Al team showed a lack of proper training as compared the opposing eleven that was particularly noticeable towards the last part of the second half.

The teami weakened perceptibly and as the L. S. V. backs pounded away at the line it gave way again and again. In fact, this was the strongest feature of.

th. playing of the state university fleveru They tried no other play quite as successfully as hammering away at the S. A. A. line and always pearly there was an advance of from two to ten yards It is not surprising, therefore, that the S.

A. A. team was defeated. It has had what practice it could get at odd times, mostly at night, and has had no team to play against. L.

S. on the contrary, practice daily, have a scrub eleven to play against ana. nave already played in two sched uled contests. Neither team scored In the first half of twenty-five minutes and Shreveport had the advantage throughout, keeping the ball in L. S.

U. territory and coming within striking distance of a touchdown more than once. In the second naif of twenty minutes it took Baton Bouge exactly sixteen minutes to carry the pigskin across the S. A. A.

goal line for the first and only touch-dawn of the game. Had Shreveport held the line and gotten the ball even once after Baton ftouge had invaded the 25 yard line, the game would have resulted in neither side scoring, as only four 'minutes of play was left when CTBidry bucked the line for the two yards necessary for a touclidown. After thin the university eleven seemed to paHier force -and came within a few-feet of adding another touchdown to tJi by successive rushes during the our minutes that were left. Shreveport made a great effort, how'. ever, and held the line like a wall, finally getting the ball on downs when only eight seconds of play was left and when another rush would have glvt-n IT.

a second touchdown. The active plays on both teams were confined, a. Ihdced, they almost always arc, to the men back of the line. Brown, Sebastian. Evans and Mills bore the brunt when it came to taking the ball forward and each behaved ftpfandidly.

Brown, particularly, at-trcted the notice of the crowd by his success In getting around the ends or through the opposing tackles. Hi an- (treasive work all round playing was the feature for the S. A. A. Kvans bitting the line f.nd the end plays ot MUlsAnd He bast lan was a revelation to the visiting eleven as well as the spectators.

The men In the line their fiart' right noldy, as wan "abundantly proven by the condition of ttieir fa There was a Rood crowd present, but riot as many as should attend a game of this kind. The Colors of the respective teams were very much in evidence, there being quite as muh purple and Isold Jn the crowd as there Wis purple an3 white. But the crowd was unruly. People gwarmed pa tthe barbed wire harrtem onto the Meld and it was almost Impossible to restrain them or to git tbm to move back out of the way of the players. FIRST HALF.

Cornell was helpless when Bhe had the ball, and succeeded In retaining It until the second down only twice. Princeton kicked off, and when the ball wua returned rushed It back by steady gains, until Dewltt failed on a drop kick from the 25-yard line. Cornell punted out of danger.

By sending Foulke around the end and M'ller through the center, Princeton reached the 4-yard line, and Kafer scored. Cornell's line was weakened and a uecond score followed end runs by Kafer and center plunges of Cooney and Miller. On the next kink off Rice skirted left end for 43 yards and touched the 30-yard line. Dewitt made futile efforts to kick at goal, but aftef Burke's long run of 42 yards he scored a field goal from the 27-yard line. The first half ended 17 to 0.

In the second half the task was still easier for Princeton. Kafer and Cooney scored In succession and Dewitt drop-pped a kick from the 27-yard line. Foulke made still another touchdown. The game ended with the hall in Cornell's possession in th middle of the field. By Associated Press.

Cambridge, Oct. 31. In an intensely exciting and decidedly 'eensa-itional football game Harvjard defeated the Carlisle Indians today 12 to 11. The closeness of tbe score was made possible by one of the most unique tricks tried or a footbaai field for many years. at the second half, received the Harvard kick off on his five yard line and then hiding the ball under his Jersey back of his back ran the length of the field empty handed for a touch down.

There is apparently no rule covering this trick so the play stood and the sore was 11 to 0 in. favor the Indians as they had already scored goal from the field dn the first half. Harvard ithen took a brace and pushed the ball down the field for a touch down. The second Harvard score came a few minutes later and was also made by straight football. Marshall kicked both goals, Carlisle made desperate but unavailing efforts for another score in the darkness.

The run of Dillon was the feature of the game and will undoubtedly give rise to a vast deal of discussion. The instant he caught the ball the enAire Carlisle team clustered about him so that no one could see what was being done. Harvard threw themselves on the mas.ed Indians Just as the latter had begun, to move down the Held well bunched. While the crimson players were searching for the ball Dillon! came out of the crowd entirely empty handed and had gone thirty or forty yards before any one realized that he had the ball. Texas A.

Agricultural and Mechanical made a touchdowin and goaJ within he first eight minutes of play and that was the otvly score made. Tbv Travelers braced up and held the Farmers down for the remainder of the half. In tho second half the visitors from Arkansas were making a good gain on every buck, but when they reached the Agricultural and Mechanical twenty yard line, dllitory tactics were engaged In and the Arkansas people were kept from scoring by darkness. Claims set up that Agricultural and Mechanical players were disabled were not proved and no one was hurt. There was a squabble over the authority of the referee to call the game at the time he did.

but ft was so dark that the players could not be seen. Score to 0 favor Agricultural and Mechanical. THE CANDIDATES. (Continued From 1.) this Mate, Ihen I will retire from the race."
