Louisiana State University's prospects
for the Southern championship in foot
ball were shattered last Saturday when
Auburn defeated the Tigers 10. In their
crippled condition and with the strong
Auburn eleven, the Louisiana men put
up good game to hold the Auburn eleven
to such a small score.
About two hnndred students attended
the Fair at Shreveport Saturday. The ag-
ricultural students stayed over until, We'd
nesday, but the majority returned to Bat
on Rouge Sunday. The Arkansas-Louis-
lana football game is the chief feature
which attracted them. The band organi-
zation was one of the most attractive
things in Shreveport and at the Fair Sat
urday In complete uniform, they paraded
through the streets and played at the fair
grounds all day.
The fourth moot court was held We'd
nesday, City Judge Cline, presiding. The
attorneys for the trial were Reynaud and
Loret defending, Voltz and Whitehead
prosecuting. 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 preside at the
next session. The States Chief Executive
has expressed himself as highly pleased
with the moot court practice, and he is
glad to aid it in any way.
The report which has been spread over
the State that there is typhoid epidemic
threatening at the University is deplorable
Only one case has developed at the Uni
versity hospital, and that over month
ago. Although no danger is anticipated,
yet owing to the fact that there are sever
al case in Baton Rouge, every precaution
is taken at the University. The drinking
water is thoroughly boiled and the stud
ents are given the privilege of being in
oculated to prevent the disease should
any danger arise.
The campus and City OF Baton Rouge
are already beginning to feel the thrill Of
excitement incident to the coming of the
Tulane-Louisiana game on Nov. %. This
is easily the great sporting event of the
year in Louisiana, and every alumnus or
friend of either institution should make
an earnest effort to be here at that date.
Special trains will be run over most of the
roads leading into Baton Rouge. These
to the city in which they were
crowds games have always brought great
played, and from the present indications
for great contest, there is no reason
why Nov. % should not be gala day in
the Capital City. The management this
year will put on preliminary sale of re-
serve seats in New Orleans and Baton
Rouge in order that people from dis
lance may be assured of securing seats.
These tickets will be on sale Nov. IL.
One feature Of this game is that it Of
fers an excellent opportunity for the par
ents 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 yells, the moleskin clad
warriors, the turf-coated gridiron, the
pretty girls and the keen rivalry evident,
a tingle goes up your spine, and when
you hear the thud Of the first kick -off the
fellow behind you will have to pull your
coat to make you sit down, and when
the final whistle blows you'll find your
self wishing you had to go over it all again
