ST. CHARLES ELEVEN
DEFEATS NEW iberia
College Boys Play Brilliant
Game And Come Out Vic
torious By Big Score.

Playing brilliantly throughout
the four twelve minute quarters
the St. Charles College eleven
sent the New iberia High School
into a crushing defeat on the
College Campus, at Grand O.
teau, on last Saturday afternoon
by the score Of 81 to @.
For the first time this year the
College eleven played like a well
oiled machine, showing eX-
perience and considerable know
ledge of the game. The two
teams weighed about the same
and only superb knowledge Of
the game on the part Of the
Grand Coteau boys gave the col
lege a victory. The New iberia
backs and ends played splendid
ball, often coming through the
St. Charles line for excellent
tackles.
For st. Charles the entire team
played star ball, but Troy, Bar
ret, Billeau and Dunkleman were
the undisputed masters Of the
sport; Troy and Dunkleman
plunging through the New Iberia
lines for repeated long runs,
while Billeau and Barrett broke
through the line at all stages OF
the game, throwing the visiting
backs for losses. Wallet, for st.
Charles, also deserves consider
able praise, often times making
long end runs; his only defect
was making a few costly fumbles.
AS a whole the College boys
played a SPLENDID game and the
team bids fair to put it all over
the Lafayette Industrial Institute
eleven this afternoon, on the
Campus.
St. Charles was defeated last
week by the Lafayette boys, but
lack of experience was the cause
Of this downfall. Since playing
the Industrial, however, the
Grand Coteau team has greatly
improved and the many admirers
of the College eleven expect tosee
Lafayette team go down in de-
feat.
1t is expected that a large
crowd from this city will witness
the game at Grand Coteau this
Saturday. evening at three
o'clock, as there are many foot
ball lovers in old 0pelousas.

LITTLE KNOWN OF VAST LAND
immenss Tracts In Empire Of China
That Have Never Been Surveyed
or Even Explored.

A large tract OF the great Chinese
empire has never been surveyed OF
even explored. Al . result. all sorts
OF varying estimates a. to the size OF
China have been given. Any estimate
can merely be an approximation rep
resenting the last guess. This last
guess Ii estimated to be about 1000
600 square miles for China's area
about 100000 miles larger than the
total area OF our United States. While
n of the eighteen provinces Of China
is several thousand square miles small
or than III own state of Texas, yet
within the borders Of this Chinese
province there have been dwelling
20 times as many Chinese inhabitants
as there are Americans who dwell In
our great state Of Texas.
The size Of our own state Of In
diana corresponds approximately to
the size Of the very smallest Of all
the 18 Chinese provinces. There are,
however, mor than five times as
many Cinnamon dwelling within their
native province as there are Ameri-
cans living in our Hoosier state.
The ratio OF five to one applies gen.
orally when making population COM
PARSONS between any locality of China
and America Usually when the Chi,
nese empire is referred to what is
meant is China proper. This latter
is composed Of 18 provinces. There
are In addition to this certain depend
encies Of China, known as territor-
les. These are overrun with noun
tains, vast stretches Of desert land,
high plateaus and varying densities OF
population.
Manchuria Is one of these depend
encies, and its size is about three
times the size Of the British islands.
Mongolia is another vast territory ly-
ing to the north and measuring near
ly 100000 square miles in area. To
the south and westward lie the de-
tendencies of Tibet and of Turk
estan, a locality of severely rugged and
desolate country. Less than 1000, 900
Celestials. roam within these two ter
ritories.
II you wish to travel from Picking
In Northern China to Hongkong In
southern China, you will have a sea
voyage OF 1000 miles to cover after
you sail from the port of Tien-tsin.
You do not fully appreciate the vast
distances you have to travel in China

this strange land and are compelled to
secure transportation somehow, some

mind.
Meanwhile, evacuation of Vera
