By covering UMj mile in 48 minutes. Clifton won flrt tlm prise In the Thanksgiving Day bicycle road race given yesterday morning by March Cul-more, ona of th local dealer. Th course lay over only fairly good roads. across railroad track, through tunnels, where the eyensts were compelled to slacken speed, and over number of obstacles that were not contemplated at the outset, in view of which fact Wilson's time Is looked upon as especially good. The mark et yesterday is one that bids fair to be of long standing.

Oscar Chance arrived second, in minute 60 seconds, which Is considered highly creditable. Five seconds later Kd-ward Sullivan pedaled In on the time of 46 minute S6 seconds. Adding honor to distinction Is the fact that each of the three place winners were scratch men, starting at the corner of Prairie avenue and San Jacinto street under a fifteen-minute handicap. FORTY-EIGHT STARTERS. Those in position to know with one acclaim pronounce yesterday's roed race the largest event of the character ever pulled off in the State of Texas.

There were forty-eight starters, and all but two completed the full course. The value of the prizes, about two dosen In all. Including four new and expensive wheels, probably totaled 1:00 or 1300. The evciC attracted wide attention and hundred of spectators crowded along both sides' of the street to witness the start, necessitating the work of four officers keap the road clear. The collision with the bicycle of Flank Page was the only Incident that approached a calamity, wheel was wrecked.

THE ROUTE. Leaving San Jacinto and Pralrla streets, the route led out Prairie to Crawford, thence on Crawford to Pres- ton avenue; out Preston to Mllby and vr over to the Telephone road, and out the Telephone road to Crystal Springs. From Crystal Springs tlie riders continued to Harrisbui'K. completing the last stretch of the race over the Harrisburg road, and finishing at the starting place. There were twenty scratch men at the start, and all were pretty well bunched as thev passed the post at Harrisburg.

Wilson's power of endurance came to the front on the last five miles over the Harrisburg road. The latter Is a member of the Young Men's Christian Association and Is hardened from frequent practice In the gymnasium. YQUNOEST COMPETITOR. Special credit Is due John Morrlsey, 11 years old and the youngest contestant In the race. Morrlsey rode second In th Stawana class, and, clad In regulation bicycle trunks, the lad attracted well merited attention.

Several offers of a tow from motorists who accompanied tl a riders were stoutly refused and the youngster pedaled the entire thirteen and a half miles on good time.

(Houston Post Special.) IJRENHAM, Texas, November 25. There was a very Interesting and hotly contested game of basket ball played this morning at o'clock between the Bren-ham high school team and a team of six from Bllnn Memorial college on tha campus of the Brenham high school, In which the score was IS to 15 in favor of the Brenham high school. Both of these teams are composed of girl students, and there was a large crowd In attendance and the cheering was frequent and enthusiastic. For the Brenham high school team the lineup was: Forwards, Misses Dozler and Florence Stuckert; centers. Misses Margaret Bosman and Adelaide Barnett; guards.

Misses Ethel Collins and Mamie Schniki. while for Bllnn Memorial college the guard were Missel Helen Rhein-schlld and Katie Pauls; centers, Misses Gertrude Wehmeyer and Susie Lipscomb; forwards. Misses Ava Dozler and Elisabeth Pauling. The scorekeepers were Misses Adela Watson and Emily Sallls; timekeepers. Professor Kopp and Raymond Meyer.

Blinn college failed to bring a referee, after a consultation Miss Esther Pennington was chosen, and considering that was her first experience, her decisions were very good. There was good playing both sides and quits a good deal of fouling. Bllnn's team outclassed the high school girls In sis and but tha latter war exceedingly watchful, and very quick, and these two qualities won the game for them. While It I very hard to decide which player were the best on the two teams, Ml' Ava Doiler, forward, and Helen BJieinschlkl, guard, on the Bllnn team, were noted for their star plays. The work tha high school girls was so very good that It I hard to determine who mad the best play.

Seldom hag there been seen In Texas as hard a fought and 1 spectacular frame of football as was seen on Clark field this afternoon hy over 000 people Seldom have Texans ever seen two teams more evenly matched and two elevens with more perfect team work. confidence and spirit. It was anybody' came from the start.

During the first half neither eleven scored. Five times during the first half Texas had the hall within striking distance of the A. and M. Itoal and could not score. Three times did Kirkpatrick try for drop kirk goals and missed them, while lialejui missel one from the a-d line.

Moore and Ramsdell to tear up the A.

Barnes. Dyer Leonard and Jones consistent ends. Bailey. Feldhake. Persons.

Steiler. Bland and Barclay were sources of great strength in the line. HAMILTON STAR OF GAME. A. and M.

had a team equally as regressive and as able to take care of m-selves. Ward was In the game all toe time. Kelley, the plucky Indian qua--' seamed a man of iron. 'While Hamilio i was thrown for losses a number of tlrns he played a steady game and made beautiful run in the first half. Texas had carried the ball to A and It-yard line.

Here it went over. Hamilton ctreled left end for yards, making what every one thought a touchdown. However, he had run outside on the 32-Tard line and was called bark after he had broken through the whole Texas team, distancing his own interference. Balenti played a good game, though not so good as many had anticipated. Hooker nf Barnes were in the game al: th? time, working together splendidly.

Brown and SMppe were also steady plavers. Ruge) made several nice plavs at full, as did Holliday. Both teams wnt into the game to win. Texas used line plays, forward passes, and gained much ground, playing her opponents to a standstill from start to finish. The strong interference by the Farmers was smashed when it seemed most effective, and hi-ky Indeed was the man who got away from the agile Long-horns.

However, at the most critical points the strong A. and M. line held and Texas failed to score. A. AND if.

MHELP IN CRISES. A. and with Hooker and others, gained nicely at times through the Texas lie. However, this was not done steadily, and, like Texas. A.

and M. was forced to kick time after time for failure to Sain her distance. The line held at the most critical moments In spite of the charges that the Texans made. and M. ran splendid interference and played a plucky game.

Altogether the teams were about as aqoaUy matched as any ever seen here. Th number of penalties In the game --mm very noticeable. The officials gave very freely, and this detracted somewhat from the game. Had It not been so fast and aggressive at all times, they would have been far mora noticeable than they were. Texas, perhaps, had the most penalties to her credit.

A. and M. kicked to Massingall. who returned the ball 25 yards. Texas worked the bafl Into A.

and territory steadily, making 6 to 10 yard at every exchange of punts. Moore had the ball on the A. aad M. iO-yard-line on a forward pass, but Texas lost the ball on a penaltv, the ground being that the pass was' made A over the line of scrimmage. Hamilton received a punt and was downed on his a-yard-Une.

A. and M. attempted to kick the hall to safety and Massingall return-ad It to the 12-yard-line. Kirkpatrick tried a field goal which failed. Texas re- covered the ball but was forced to kick A.

and M. got the hall on her 20-yard-line and did likewise. Masslngai returned the punt to the 2S-yard-line. Kirkpatrick tnlssed another drop goal after Texas had failed to gain A and M. lost the ball on her 6-yard-llne on a fumble.

Texas failed to gain her distance and Kirkpairi. tried his third field goal, wiib-h failed A. and M. after an exchange of punts advanced the ball to Texas' 25-vard-line Balenti tried a field goal, which failed. HAMILTON' WONDERFUL RUN.

The ban as worked back to the middle the field on exchange of punts, in hich Texas always gained. Here Texas recov. red It on a fumble and by the playing by Kirkpatrick. Moore and Ramsd.ll worked It to the A. and 20-yard -line.

It was here that the ball went over nil Hamilton made his wonderful run. When the ball was brought back A. and M. was forced to kick. Kirkpatrick tried an on-sMe kick.

Dyer ran Into the ball, helping It along, and Hamilton recovered it on his 2-yard-llne. A. and M. kicked to Massingall. who brought the ball back to A.

Umpire, Jack. Time Twitora keepers, juaca ana cemena Thanksgiving Hunters A disconsolate lot were th Thanksgiving Day hunters who returned yesterday afternoon and last night front China, Eagle Lake and the lower bay shore. Full of the expected sport, their heart beat high, as with Impatient steps they made haste to reach the favorite resort Wednesday afternoon by rail, auto and motor boat. By dark Houston sportsmen had spread over many counties, and every Indication pointed to one of the biggest Thanksgiving day In th annals of the city from a sporting view point, for the attendance easily eclipsed that of previous years. To the contrary, however, the gun men brought bark only talea of woe and fruitless deprivation.

That grand old organisation, the Hot Air club, presented a distressing spectacle last night as one by one.

Karly yesterday morning there were veral hundred ducks flying at one time. but as the day advanced the number gradually diminished till the horizon waa practically clear before noon. Many who remained till some time after o'clock yesterday afternoon state that the evening flight had not begun and suppose that the fowls left for the bay or open prairie.

The principal sport at China yesterday was snipe shooting.
