Saved by Kilgore.

Capt. Blank of the visitors has been
known to kick a goal from the field at
thirty yards. but yesterday Kilgore butted
in between the goal posts and the good
right foot of Mr.. Blank, with the result
that the kick was blocked and the locals
saved from the humiliation of defeat. 1t
wasn't really Kilgore's fault that he blocked
the kick. He merely jumped into the air
at an opportune moment and happened to
land in the same portion of the atmosphere
through which the bail was passing Any
way, it served the purpose and put new
life into the jaded warriors. Lunsford
picked 1t up on George Washngtons 13-
yard line and had just made up his mind
to run the length of the field for a touch
down when some rude and thoughtless
Marylander embraced him gently and held
him glued to the spot. Just at this time
the first half was declared over. and every
body. including Mr.. Lunsford breathed a
sigh of relief.

For the visitors Hala was the bright par

less Leonard of George Washington can be
included In the stellar category, for 1t was
Leonard that saved at least two touchdowns
by tacklng Hala when the doughty little
fullback of the Baltimore team had passed
everybody else In the opposing line. And
when the dust of the battle had settled and
the why's and wherefores We're being dis
cussed it was Leonard who was hailed as
the man who saved the game.
The Marylanders made great deal more
ground than the local team, but they, too,
were troubled with weakness of the knees
at the critical moment. Twice they got the
pigskn down to within speaking distance
of George Washington's goal; once they
tried goal from field, but the Buff and
Blue We're playing a ''providential' game,
and if IL was not good playing 1t was good
luck that came to their rescue at the right

The Buff and Blue lined up against the

neither side had crossed the others goal.
Last Saturday the George Washington boys

both teams drew q blank.

The trouble was with the support. When

FIVE Supreme Court Judges.
My fellow citizens, the history OF
Tennessee has been proud one, II
tells how the heroism of the first set
tiers won the land from the wild beast
and lurking savage and dedicated it to
q civilization.
1t reCounts the early days of chivalry
and romance, woven like threads OF
gold in the texture of her sovereign
pride.
1t points to King Mountain and the
trail of fire as the contribution Of Ten
nesseans to the cause of human
liberty.
1t calls the names of long and illus
trious list who have, in peace and war,
shed honor and glory on the State.
On the scroll is inscribed Jackson,
Polk and Johnson as three Presi-
dents whom Tennessee furnished the
Republic.
What man is there whost heart does
not thrill with pride, whose pulse does
not faster beat, when the war cloud of
1861 burst in the fury of the storm
and 100, 900 Tennesseeans marched out
under the Stars and Bars to fight and
live or die for home and State?
Yes, the very soil of Tennessee is
sacred. From the highlands to the
lowlands, the foot of man can scarcely
press a spot that is not hallowed
ground.
The blood OF her sons ran in red
streams on the fields of Franklin, Muir
freesboro, Chickamauga, Shiloh and a
hundred other backgrounds and tears
of her women fell in sad baptismal
showers.

many of the Democratic weeklies oi
the State.
I take the following from an inter.
esting interview with Hon. Frank
Thompson, Chairman of the State
Executive Committee, published in
the Nashville American of Jan. 6, in
commenting on the election laws oi
the State.
He said:
81 think, for another thing, that the
appointment of Election COMMISSIONS
should be taken out of the Governors
hands and placed in the hands of three
men to be elected by the Senate.
think they should be given sufficient
compensation and expense allowance
to permit of their making o thorough
investigation in each county, and act
ing with an eye to the general situa-
tion and each county's needs.
'"rhe imposition of this duty upon
the Governor has this result. It brings
him into the petty factional fights OF
every county. No matter how small
the fight, no matter how little inter.
ested he may be, nor how insignificant
the issue, the Governors appointments
cause dissensions from which the party
suffers when next election time rolls
round"
l now read part of an editorial com
ment by The Nashville American Of
Jan. 10 on this interview:
"The law giving the Governor power
to appoint Election Commissioners for
each county is not to be defended. II
cannot be defended from Democratic
standpoint, for it is essentially undem.
ocratic. 1t places too much power OF
authority in the Governor, and makes
it possible, if not sometimes tempta.
tion, for him to build up political
machine for either partisan or personal
purposes. There are other reasons

Governor should not be given this

There is no report of the amount Of
