Neither eleven presented Its full strength.

High, crippled by the absence of Cummlngs and Journeay, appeared far from strong. Settegast and Rockwell were not present to fight for Barnetu But both fought savagely t'rora the start. High cleanly outplayed and outclassed Barnett. however, and after the first-quarter the game wm an easy one, partaking of the nightmarish In the latter part of the battle. To say that High's goal line was uncrossed Is inadequate.

It was never In danger. The ball was In Barnett territory the entire time, and at no period was High's thirty-yard line reached by the attack. Barnett. stubbornly on the defensive, fought sanely, but the line waa Woefully weak and Dyer's men had little difficulty after they got started. That the game Was hard fought Is evidenced by the number of substitutes sent ias Each side sent In a 'hat looks Ilk a patched quilt.

Bender for High was a put out of the game In the third quarter after a beautiful run by a hard tackle from Cushman. He was unable to go In after his Injury, but at tne close of the game was suUerlng only from a bruise Barnett played real football on the defensive, the backs tackling hard and nigh, and downing their mn with force and precision. Cushman's hand Is in a bad shape today. He played the game hard all through, and his hand, broKen before In one place, was hurt again. He was neverout of the battle iinwevar Showed his nerve by staying through.

The lines suffered the most. Both back-fields plunged repeatedly and the linos bore the brunt of the game.

Blaine Is a 14-year-old end, but he has wonderful speed and lie Is jf always In the game. His consistent work on the forward pass and fast work In getting- down the field under punts, with fast and sure tackling made him a star all the way through.

Captain TayRr at half showed as he has never done befora. Llne plunges for long gains, long runs around the ends, fast defensive work and splendid Interference marked his play. He scored four of the five touchdowns his team made. Bender was easily the (Houston Pott SptciaJ.) AUSTIN. Texas.

October 29. The greatest football struggle ever witnessed on Clark field was decisively won by the Longhorns over the Alabama Polytechnics this afternoon by the score of to 0. The first three quarters of the game saw each team fighting desperately for supremacy, but wheneverelther team forced Its way Into the neighborhood of the goal line the opposing eleven formed an Impenetrable barrier, the ball going over on downs. Auburn threatened Varsity's goal three times, once attempting a place goal, but the Texas men proved equal to the emergency every time. Never have the orange and white had abler defenders, and seldom, very seldom, haa a stronger team than the wearers of the orange and blue clashed with the Texans.

Kirkpatrlck. In kicking a beautiful field goal from placement ln the last quarter, gave Varsity a score of three points, which was the first time that Auburn has been scored on this season. Tben Estill, covering a wonderful 60-yard punt by Kirkpatrlck, raced 45 yards down the Held for the only touchdown of the game, being the first to cross the Polytechnic goal line this season. Both Auburn and Varsity depended wholly on old style football, the Alabama back field pounding the line, while the Longhorns tried both line plunges and end runs. The forward pass was attempted but few times during the game, each team succeeding In effecting a pass but once.

The Auburn team averaged ten pounds heavier than Varsity and as a result of their superior work, the Texans had but scant success In penetrating their line. The speed of the ends, the steady aggressive fight exhibited by the linemen, and the heady generalship of Kirkpatrlck In directing the back field, accounts for Varsity's victory, which was witnessed by 2500 enthusiastic onlookers.

Henry Stude haa been stirring around late and early these past few weeks In the Interests -Of the big No-Tsu-Oh Carnival game between Texas university and Texas Agricultural and Mechanical. Football day will be the big day of No-Tsu-Oh, and It Is taking hard work to get matters ln shape for the affair.

There will be many hundreds, perhaps thou- sands, of the alumni of each college here on enember 14, and they are eager now to know that everything will be ln readiness when they arrive. No one can accuse Stude of going to sleep on the job. He Is wtde-wake and haa been working along on the matter all the past month. He has just returned from a trip, to College Station and to Austin in the Interests of tho No-Tsu-Oh game, and the trip accomplished results. There are minor matters which remain to be settled ln full detail later, such as the final selection and agreement of the two colleges on officials and similar matters.

But the general plan of handling the Texas-Farmer game has already been settled. Work on She bleachers that have to be constructed on tho east side of the field will be begun tomorrow morning under the direction of Frank Noyes. These bleachers will extend from the present bleachers on the north side down the length of the east side of the field 35e feet. Tickets will be placed on sale here at the office of the Trinity and Braxoe railroad on November 7, one week before the game. All persons desiring boxes are requested to send In applications at once to Henry Stude and to state which side of the field they prefer to have It located on the Agricultural and Mechanical side or that of Texaa.

Texas will occupy this year the section of the field that Agricultural and Mechanical had last year, and It will seat 100 people. The Agricultural and Mechanical section on the other side will seat 111 00. Just that many tickets will be sold for those sections no more. No section of the field Is going to be allowed to be overcrowded this year. The crowds for the Texas section, the.

Agricultural and Mechanical section and the general section are going to be handled through three different gates. The tickets for the three ill be of different colors Agricultural and Mechanical red, Texas yellow and general white. Only a red ticket will be accepted at the Agricultural and Meclian-tcai gate and so on with the other two gates.

Arkansas won from Texas A. and M. here today by the score of 6 to 0. Ideal football weather prevailed and both teams were In glltedge form. The Texans arrived Friday morning ln a special car and had been resting ever since.

The heavy visitors outweighed Arkansas' light team fully ten pounds to the man and would have made things look bad for the Raxorbacks If they had been able to make consistent defense against the new style of football. They resorted very much to the old style of playing, while Arkansas was able to vary her tactics, smashing the line for gains and using the forward pass successfully. Neither team scored a touch-down. Arkansas won by a goal from field and a touch-back. After five minutes of play Arkansas advanced the ball to the Texas thirty-yard line and Ouynes was called back and from a very difficult angle booted the ball between the goal posts.

In the second quarter Texas attempted to punt from her twenty-yard line, but the ball was snapped wild and Arkansas scored a touch-back. The third quarter was all to Arkansas' good. In that the battle was waged on Texaa territory-In the last quarter Arkansaa was prevented from scoring a touch-down by a decision of the referee Involvli.g a mere technicality. The ball had been advanced to Texas' seven-yard line when the game was delayed for a few seconds by the referee. Just as ha Jumped from the line of scrimmage Arkansas opened the playing without giving signals and Estes was sent around right end for a touch-down.

The referee refused to allow the score because the plav was made before the whistle blew. Thirty seconds later the game ended with Arkansas attempting to carry the ball over by a forward pass which was all but successful. The line up: Arkansas. Position. Guvncs I- E.

"It Is the first time they have played In the form they are capable of this season, and have run up a score really worthy of them.

The race for the football championship of Texas very likely hinges on the Baylor-State game at this place on November 5. It aeema that the race haa narrowed down to three towns, Baylor. Texas and Agricultural and Mechanical, and It Is quite likely that the latter will be defeated by Texas at Houston. If so, then whichever was victorious at this place will have an easy run for the championship. Football men who have seen all the teams ln action have all picked the Waco game as the most Important of the season.

Both schools have long since realised this and have been preparing for the occasion. It Is reported that the students from Austin will come 600 or 1000 strong. They see the necessity of their presence and support. With Kirkpatrlck likely out of the game, they see anything but an easy victory. The students of Baylor are known for their united support and their great amount of college spirit.

Never before was the student body so united upon one thing. They are dating all things "so many days before the Texas game." believe in their team and are prepared to push It on to victory In this game like they have ln all others. Baylor Is confident of a victory. She has beyond a doubt the greatest team ln her history. Ralph Gloxe, head coach, Is known all over America as one of the best coaches In football circles.

He has been ahly assisted by Coach Enoch J. Mills, a football man well known In Texas. They have developed the most progressive squad In the State, and It Is not a bunch of youngsters they have, but a squad of seasoned men. Most all of the men are not only acknowledged athletes, but they have been plaving together some for two, some three and some even four seasons. They are heavy, fast and progressive, and play the new game from start to finish.

The coaches will spend the entire week In shaping the squad up for this one game: mass meetings and yell practices among the students will occur frequently during A brief survey of Baylor's squad will show upon what she bases her claim to the beat all around squad In tha State. The Line-Up. The one man around whom the Baylor team centers and has centered tor the past two years. Is the 115 -pound Aptaln, punter and halfback, T. P.

Robinson, better known as "Robbie." He fs an old head at the game. For two years a star on Peacock's Military academy team and fourth year with Green and Gold and second year as captain. He has been playing the same position six consecutive years, and as a halfback, a punter and a line plunger he stands for above any other man In Texas. In the last two years his plunges snd runs have netted him ten louchaowns. In him the tatc university will find the greatest football opponent of the season.
