Especial Correspondence TO Morning Journal
Roswell, n. NJ, nov. lS,-At this
writing it looks very much as If the
championship football game to have
been played between the Military in
stitute team and the boys OF the Agri-
cultural college is strictly IN in the
air, with noor prospects of ever com
ing down. Neither team has lost a
game this season and this game has
been locked forward to as the big sen
satlon. The cams now, however, are
in an apparently hopeless wfangle
over the date and place,
The cadets side of the dispute is
| set forth as follows in the Roswell
Record:
IN has beer understood hl along

Thanksgiving and to be played in I'll
ever. that suitable arrangement
could not be made for the park on
Thapksgiving day, the management
of the Agricultural college proposed
tina the game be played in III Paso
the Saturday following Thanksgiving,
November %. This plan was pro-
posed In the early part of october
and was at once accepted by the
adets who proceeded to make their

game. A contract was made With the
Roswell Auto company and the lei
Paso & Northeastern railroad for
transportation, and everything was
considered final.
Farmers Get Cold Feet.
Immediately after the game be-
tween the cadets and the University
of New Mexico team, nouces began
to appear in the Ell Paso papers 10

pose of getting 'Roswelrs goat THESE
clippings stated clearly that the game
had been arranged for Ell Paso, but
owing to the fact that 1t cost too
much to transport the 'g~oat-gettins
clubs from Las Cruces TO lei Paso,
they had decided to have the game at
the college.
IAN this was done. however. with
out consulting the manager OF the

was given the institute hat the game
he'd been changed or that the college
desired to change it, no attention was
paid to these notices, the cadets
quietly going ahead with their prac-
tice and preparing themselves to win
the championship. A few days ago,
however. a letter came from the
Farmers, officially stating that they

whether the adets approved OF the
plan or intimate hat the cadets had
any rights in the matter whatever,
but simply stated that final arrange

that a paying crowd could not be had

1t is a fact, however, that the col
leee suggested this date themselves
and seemed entirely satisfied with the
cate. and the arrangements until the
cadets made such a wonderful snow
ing against the miners of Socorro, ana
the varsity teams. Immediately atter
the latter game, they began to ar
range to have the game on their own

very determined goat getters,' ltos-
wells goat is evidently looming up
very large in the distance and the
Farmers have decided that the only
chance to do anything with thai goat
is to get it within their own corral
IT is hardly probable, however, that
the Roswell goat could be handled by
the Farmers even with this handl-
cap. The cadets are, therefore. anxious
to go to the college in spite Of pre-
yious arrangements. The trip Is "
very hard one and the management
OF the institute is opposed to the
cadets going beyond El Paso. Ftnal
arrangements will no doubt be made
today or tomorrow. or else the col
