n LOOM spread over the Tech
VI football camp yesterday when
1t was learned that Gene Pat
ten, the former Baylor halfback, and
who is practically assured of a reg
ular berth on the Tech eleven, is suf-
fering from the breaking Of a small
artery in his knee. The injured
member has been put in a plaster
cast.
Patten has been complaining about
his knee for some time, but thought
he was simply suffering from a
charley horse" The halfback, how
ever, visited a physician last night
and was told that he had ruptured a
small artery and would have to be
out of the game for at least ten days
wv HETHER Patten will be able to
w use the knee in fierce scrim-
images when he does get back into the
game time alone will tell. Coach
Heisman held out hopes last night
Patten would come around in good
shape before long. Gene has the
makings of a great halfback and his
loss would be a severe blow to the
Tech team.
The Jackets are working like Tro-
jams these days and are coming
around in good shape. Tally John
son, the Chattanooga halfback, is sub
bling for Patten, and is doing excel
lent work. When Patten returns to
harness, Johnson will go eack to the
end position.

AGRICULTURIST
FIGHTS CHOLERA

Davenport, July 30.-An outbreak Of
cholera near Maysville and the threat
ened destruction Of the entire onion
crop Of Scott county were two import
ant matters occupying the attention
Of members Of the executive committee
Of the Scott County Farm Improve
ment league at meeting held at the
Commercial club. ~.
The cholera outbreak at Maysville is
extremely serious according to report
made Saturday by County Agricultur-
list Bliss. Mr.. Bliss and veterinarians
inoculated the herds Monday. Otto
Prien, who has herd of 200 has lost
only twelve since treatment with
serum and it Is expected to save al
most the entire herd.
Mr. Bliss was called to Pleasant Val
ley to investigate threatened destruc-
ton Of the onion crop, which is valued
at thousands of dollars. The agricul-
turist found many fields afflicted with
thrips or onion lice The field Of J. w.
Davis company is almost entirely de-
stroyed.
Mr.. Bliss ordered the immediate
spraying Of the fields with a nicotine
solution. He will personally superin
tend the work. The dry weather is re-
sponsible for conditions, according to
the agriculturist. A good rain will stop
the spreading of the insects.
