Little Rock, Nov. 14-(SpeciaD--
 After fighting fiercely for a score for
 three full quarters and ten minutes
 into the last quarter. the Pine Bluff High School football team was eli
 minated from the championship con- test at Little Rock yesterday when
 the High eleven by neatly executed fake end run, scored touchdown, registered the only score made in the game and won. The Little Rock
 lads, after making the touchdown
 failed to kick goal. But six points were enough to win and it brought sadness to the Pine Buff aggrega- tion and a large bunch of loyal rooters who accompanied the grid- iron heroes to the capital city to cheer them on to victory Coach
 Bassett shed tears-real salty tears but there was no use crying over
 split milk. The awful deed was done.
 But the Little Rock High knew they were in fight They experience ed the hardest battle they had ever figured in and the boys from down the river made the capital lads sweat real beads of sweat" through out the contest. It was first on Pine Bluff territory, then on Little Rock soil and back again, only to be re- peated without a score being made until the whistle brought relief to the tugging. slugging, pulling and sprinting opposing factionsAof High School youngsters. The hunrdeds who attended the game cheered the visi- tors even more than their home idols for they realized that the Pine Bluff High eleven were fighting a clean fight, one that many thought deserv- ed to win, and one in which true sportmanship and admirable courage
 was featured from the start to the finish.
 Bassetts boys were unfortunate
 That may be the way to sum it up. They cannot be charged with cowardice or lack of determination to win and win fairly Every ad oa the
 Pine Bluff High team starred. As much can be said for the Little Rock
 High, for they had to "star" and fight to keep off victory for the visi- tors. It was the cleanest hardest
 fought and most spectacular game ever seen between high school boys in Little Rock.
 1t was rather hard luck to the Pine Bluff team that it went down to de- feat, for during the first three quar- ters, and all of the time but the brief period in which Little Rock won, the
 visiting eleven had the better of the
 argument. Most of the game was played in Little Rock territory. and but for an incompleted forward pass. Pine Bluff would have been the win ner. In the third quarter Pine Bluff
 carried the ball on long forward passes, to the Little Rock five yard line, and then tried for a goal with a pass, but Little Rock blocked and took the ball.
 At the start of the game the Pine
 Bluff team showed supremacy, but
 continually tried the strong Little Rock line, or the end runs. Several
 times the forward pass was resorted to. and the ball was passed cleanly to the Pine Bluff forward, who fum-
 bled. The player was in the clear. and had the pass been successful. Pine Bluff would have scored, not once, but several times.
 In the last quarter Little Rock flashed for about five minutes. but in that short time it took the ball through the Pine Bluff line. to the twenty yard line, where a short for
 ward pass tore off another ten yards. Pine Bluff expected another forward pass, or a straight line plunge, but Harris skirted the left
 end for a wide circle which ended with the ball behind the Pine Bluff goal. Martin failed to kick goal. With seven minutes still to play. Pine Bluff returned to the forward pass. but this time luck was all against them. It cannot all be count
