TEXAS WORSTED ILLINOIS.
,nNE STAR VICTORS IN FOOT BALL
BY A SCORE OF I6 TO o.

OItver London of Company C of the
Fourth Illinois Seriously Injured
in the Gnmc-ReceiVCd Kick ON
the Head and Was Taken to the
FIRST Division HospitaI-Game
Uas Better One Than That
PLAYED Thanksgiving Day-MOre
Ginger and Less SquabbIing-Tex-
rs showed Great Improvement.
The foot ball team of the Fourth Ill
nofs went down an defeat before that of
tbe First Texas Regiment yesterday af-
tsrnoon. The game was played at the
Bolton street ball park and resulted in a
score Of 16 to in favor of the boys from
tbe Lone Star State.
one of the Fourth Illinois players was
seriously hurt. He was one of the young
est men on the team, Oliver Loudon of
company c, and his brother Lieut.. Lou
don who also played with Illinois, held
the boys head in his lap until he was
taken off the field
Young Loudon was taken to the hospital
of the First Division. A report received
from there last night was that he had
not recovered consciousness. 1t could be
seen that he was badly hurt. It is thought
his injury was caused by a kick, as there
was bad bruse back of the ear One of
the Texans was also hurt during the game
and his place was filled. This was Spring.
er and Strauch took his place.
The game was better in many respect
than that on Thanksgiving day between
the First Texas and the Forty-Ninth Iowa,
when the teams played tie. The Texans
showed marked improvement their play
being almost free from the fumbles that
were rather too common in the Thanks
giving game. The game was also faster,
and there was not as much time lost in
dlsputing decisions and appealing TO the
referee.
There were also more star players in evil
dence Dezavala of the Texas team was
the bright particular star, though Druese-
dow. Scott and Lieut.. Keller of the same
eleven covered it with glory by their play.
Two end runs of fifty yards were made by
Dezavala. Lieut.. Loudon and Mcknight
were among the cracks of the Fourth.
The first touchdown was made by Keller
for Texas after sixteen minutes play and

were made in the second half by Dezavala
and Keller Druesedow missed one of the
trials for goal and Keller missed the other,
thus leaving the score, when time was
called, at 16 to 0.
There was a lot of roofing going on for
the teams, though the Texans were the
leaders in it. The bands of both regiments
were on hand, and they also took part
in making noise for a good play.
M @F TO- IL
ders We're a little rough at times. When
an Illinois man would get laid out tenn
porarily some Texan would shout "GiVe
him a shower BATH or Turn him over
to Maj. Harrison" The point lies, of
course, in the Fourth Illinois having been
on provost duty and having had some of
the Texans, among other soldiers, under
the shower baths.
a hospital steward was on hand to
look out for the injured players. His
trips out on the field and back were made
the subject of some good-natured badlnage.
Give him a pill, some soldier would
shout Give him two, a black one and
white one" another would call.
Tell him his is lying and mark him for
duty" would come still another shout
