Louisiana State University's pros
poets for the southern championship
in football were shattered Nov.
when Auburn defeated the Tigers,
10. In their crippled condition the
Louisiana men put up a good game
to hold the strong Auburn eleven TO
such small score.
About two hundred students at.
tended the fair at Shreveport Satur-
day The agricultural students stay
ed over until Wednesday,. but tbs
majority returned to Baton Rouge
Sunday. The Arkansas-Asouisiana
football game was the chief feature
which attracted them. The band or-
ganization was one Of the most ats
pactive things in Shreveport and at
fhe fair Saturday. In complete uni-
fbrm, they paraded the streets and
Alayed at the fair grounds all day.
I The fourth moot court was held
"wednesday, City Judge D. d. Cline
presiding. The attorneys for the
trial were Reynaud and Loret defend
ing, Voltz and Whitehead prosecnt-
| ing. That the moot courts here are
becoming important in the eyes OF
! the bar of Louisiana is evidenced by
| the fact that Governor Hall will pre-.
| side at the next session. The statesa a
CHIEF executive mas expressed hIan-
Iself as highly pleased with the moot
court practice, and is glad 10 aid In
any way.
| The report which has been spread
over the state that there is a tye
phoid epidemic threatening at the
University is deplorable. Only one
case has developed at the Univer.
sity hospital, and that a month aso.
Although no danger is anticipated.
yet owing to the fact that there are
several cases in Baton Rouge, every
precaution is taken at the Univer4
sity. The drinking water is thorough
ly boiled and the students are given
the privilege of being inoeulated to
prevent the disease should any dana
ger arise.
The campus and city of Baton
Rouge are already beginning to feel
the thrill of excitement incident
to the coming Of the Tulane.Louis-
lana game on Nov. %. This Is
easily the great sporting event OF
the year in Louisiana, and every
alumnus or friend of either Institu-
ton should make an earnest effort
TO be here on that date. Special
trains will run over most OF the roads
leading into Baton Rouge. These
games have always brought great
crowds to the city in which they were
played, and from the present indi.
cations for a great contest, there IS
no reason why Nov. % should not
be a gala day in the capital city.
The management this year will put
on preliminary sale Of reserved
seats in New Orleans and Baton
Rouge in order that people from a
distance may be assured of securing
seats These tickets will be on
sale Nov. II.
One feature of this game Is that
it offers an excellent opportunity for
the parents of the students at
either institution to get smack of
college life and at the same time see
their boys. 1t makes them kids"
again for a day. With the excite.
ment, the band, the flying colors,
the college songs and yelIss the
moleskin clad warriors, the turf
coated gridiron, the pretty girls and
the keen rivalry evident, tingle
goes up your spine, and when you
hear the thud Of the first kickoff
the fellow behind you will have
to pull your coat to make you sit
down, and when the final whistle
blows youth find yourself wishing you
had to go over it all again.
People Should Demand Their Rights.
That the dam across Bayou Ia
fourche is not q permanent one is q
fact, and that it must sooner or later
be supplanted with substantial locks
is bound TO come, and If the national
government finds the people are de-
manding that these locks be built at
this time, it will readily order the
leVee boards to get busy.
When we realize what vast bene-
fits and advantages locks will bring
TO the entire Lafourche section, it il
surprising that We should quietly subs
nit to the Vacillating tactics OF the
levee boards in this matter.
According to the laws of the state
and nation, as well as the moral side,
the people are entitled to locks, and
they can get them il they demand
their rights.-Assumption Pioneer.
