THE FORMAL FAREWELL

Edgar Peixotto. who spoke the for
mai farewell to the southern guests
said in part:
The genius of hospitality is not
to bring people together, but to
make them part happy We extend
our hospitality to guests from for
eign lands and foreign parts, but
when our own kin and our own
brothers come among us it is truly
the time for the fatted calf and the
choicest of our wines. For what
are we all but citizens of one state?
The man who raises his hand
against that is disloyal. 1t is our
lot to live in the promised land
Los Angeles is the garden spot. and
san Francisco, by virtue of its l.
cation. is the commercial center of
this coast
We welcome none more than you
of the southland. We may have our
differences. but honest differences
make strong communities. We
must have our rivalries to main
tain our greatness, but let not these
rivalries descend to petty envy or
jealousy. Let US have them, but
let us tight them out in the manly
way.
The hosts and guests parted at Oak
land with ringing cheers from eacl
for the other.

Allen S Waco o.

The Allen Academy team was given
run for the money on Saturday aft
ernoon by the Waco High School team.
The two teams were evenly matched,
and both played excellent bali, but Al
len had slightly the advantage in team
work. The only touchdown was made
on straight play, end runs and line
bucks. Hamilton, Lovejoy and Herring
were easily the stars for the Allen
boys, while Edmonds of Waco deserves
special mention. The game was a
great deal like old-time football, as
mass plays, long end runs and fake
plays through tackle were used almost
throughout the entire game with very
few forward passes. On November IS
Allen will go to Waco for the second
game between these teams.
