The Football Game.

If Ell Paso people had known what 8
hard fought battle was to have been
fought on the gridiron at Fort Bliss
Saturday afternoon, GLere would have
been q general Zebra from this ciSy
to the big mesa. The heavyweights
from Las Cruces agricultural college
and the Egarrison team met, and the
score was nothing to nothing.
There was no smuggling, or foul plays.
Everything was fair and square, the
game was played on its merits. The
Aggies had an Interference that saved
the game from going a. ainst them, but
their average weight was thought to
be considerably below that of the
garrison team. The Agges were on
the aggressive, thefr.t7 halfrand kept
the ball well up towards the Fort Bliss
son teams superior strength weight
and powers of endurance was evident
enough. The ball was kept down in
the Las Cruces field, and for the last
fifteen minutes 1t was all the visitors
could do to keep the home team from
scoring touch down at the Las Cruces
goal. The steneth Of the sAggies was
about gone when the umpire's whistle
nothing to nothing.
The struggle was mass play from
start to finish, and most OF the time,
the two teams we're one pyramid OF
writhing, wiRRliuq legs and arms. It
was wonder that more were not hurt.
Captain Llewellyu of the Aegies had
leg wrencbed. the wind pounded out of
his "annards,' and his head hurt At
