| This comparison summed up means that
ten of the Dallas team earned positions on
| Austin-qu;te different from last year.
Comparisons are always hard things to
read, but they must be made, aud are Tor
the best In the end, anyway; but putting
them aside and figuring on what the game
of last Saturday means we find that it Is
the best thing that ever happened to Aus
tin. They have been inclined to think that
nothing could defeat them, but now that
they find they are mistaken and that 1t
takes good hard work to win a game they
may more closely follow Coach Kelly in
his efforts to perfect them and again re-
taliate Thanksgiving day as a year ago.
The best team is bound to win always.
According to Coach Field the treatment
given by the Varsity to Add Ran Tuesday
was not of the kind one is expected to get
from a college team and the work of Parker
as a referee was anything but fair.
He says: II had the ball on their five
yard line, my men f,ambled and
one of our men fell on it fair
and square and the referee yelled
"Austin's ball" Austin got the bali. FUN
bled it, my man fell on 1t again and we
got the same decision as before. Another
case, my right tackle went through their
left tackle for ten yards ana fell on his
back with his face towards the goal we
We're defending, passed the ball TO one OF
my men---a backward pass, understand
who made fifteen more. Parker gave the
forward pass, then he said it was penalty
for a double pass and who ever heard OF
penalty for double, triple or quadruple
pass? To excuse this rank decision he
said that my man made a wrong decision.
My men left the field. but brought them
back again"
This looks like pretty rough treatment
and Coach Field certainly has a kick COM
Ing to him. 1t is surprising that one OF
the Varsity team would stoop 10 this TO
prevent a tie which was inevitable.
Coach Kelly has admitted that the ee-
cisicns were wrong in an open, manly FASH
ion. but the game Is ever now.
The st. Edwards second team has been
formed and they will meet local football
teams in the vicinity of Austin, besld S
giving the regular team little ran from
time to time just for practice.
b. Lawrence. who Is coaching the first
team gives them the benefit OF his work
also and they make very creditable show
Ing, though light in weight.
They played the second eleven rom
Austin high school the past week and de-
feated them-2+-0.
This in measure reviYes the interest
in the game at St Edwards, where 1t has
Jagged somewhat since the first teams de-
feat by the deaf and dumb team.
TOUCHDOWNS.
Great game yesterday!
Finest football grounds in the South.
The University OF Texas has learned
great deal on their trip, but there won't
be any time lost at Austin between now
and the game here November IL.
Tho record of games played this season
in these columns gives one an idea OF the
uncertainties in football
AS prophesied in Ils.s Sundays Post, the
University team did not win in their game
with Dallas.
Football is forging to the front in Texas
and in another year every local team Will
be able to make the showing that Dallas is
making this year.
Coacn Fields has done great deal for
Add-Ran the past two months and it is
safe to predict that If he has them in hand
another year they will do even better.
Tho annual games between Yale Harvard
and Yale-Princeton are near at hand and
the supporters of those teams Will await
the final struggles with much impatienre.
