LITTLE ROCK GOES
AFTER STATE FAIR

Little Rock, Dec. 29.-The people OF
Little Rock are preparing to go after
the state fair IN definite way. Pat
riotic business men of Hot Springs
have kept it up for several years, but
the prospective sale of Oaklawn is
bringing about a condition which may
mean the removal of the fair from
Hot Springs. 1t has long been realiz-
ed that Little Rock is the logical To-
cation for the state fair. The success
that has crowned the work of the Pu-
laski County Fair Association for sew
eral years is proving an incentive to
attempt the greater undertaking. The
association is working on a plan to
spend $50, 900 on the fair in 1914, and
in 1915 to take over the state fair.

CAR WITH Three men
FALLS into RIVER
FALSE WORK OF FRISCO RAIL-
ROA DBRIDGE AT VAN BU-
rem GIVES WAY.

Van Buren,, Dec. 26.-The second
serious accident to occur on the draw
span Of the Frisco railroad bridge
since the work of replacing it with
new and much heavier steel began
four weeks ago, occurred at 1880 yes
terday. The huge derrick car fell in
to the Arkansas river from the false
worw in midstream, carrying three
men imprisoned in the cab of the en-
CINE room.
James Kelley, the engineer, suffered
a fractured skull and badly bruised
and lacerated back, and was hurried
to Fort Smith hospital on trolley
car.
The cab of the derrick car was prac-
tically submerged when the heavy
piece of machinery fell into the river.
1t quickly filled with water and, by
the prompt action Of the motorboat
patrol that is maintained at the point,
the engineer was rescued through a
window of the cab. The other two
men, Joe Dilby, fireman, and George
Turner, derrick foreman, were able to
climb out of the cab window upon the
drift and from that to the broken
false work, from which they were re-
moved by other workmen. Dilby re-
ceived several painful bruises, while
Turner escaped without scratch.
After he had secured dry clothing he
returned to work.

CHRISTMAS HERE
SAFE AND Sane

Christmas at Conway was one of
the quietest in many years. Condi-
tons both overhead and underfoot
were distinctly unfavorable to outdoor
pleasures Of any kind, and few people
were to be seen on the streets. The
number of visitors here for the holi-
days is unusually large, and many en-
joyable Christmas dinings and enter
tainments were given.
Only one accident has been reported
and the cases of drunkenness or disor-
derby conduct were remarkably few.

AN ALL ARKANSAS
FOOTBALL Team
From the Hendrix Bull Dog.


AS an indication that the cold
weather has not killed the football
bug we have been asked by some of
the more rabid followers of the grid
iron sport to name our selection of an
all-state team. Despite the fact that
we realize that no two men ever
agree on any kind of a sporting prop
cat to the choice of an all-American
football team, nevertheless, we are
willing to oblige our friends by sub
hitting the following NEUROLOGICAL
eleven which, in our opinion, could
easily take the measure of any like
organization in the state:
Left end-Croswell, Henderson.
Left tackle-Estes, Arkansas.
Left guard Wingfeld, Henderson.
Center-Posey, Henderson.
Right guard-B. Toland, Ouachita.
Right tackle-Bland, Henderson.
Right end-Harton, Hendrix.
Quarterback-Cook, Arkansas.
Left half-back-Holmes, Hendrix.
Right half-back- May, Arkansas.
Fullback-Jackson, Ouachita.
One is confronted with a problem
at the very outset in the selection of
a pair of ends. The season failed to
develop a single great end. In fact
The log cabin Democrat. [volume] (Conway, Ark.) 1901-1982, 1914-01-01

there was only one end in the game
this season who played that position
last year-Lewis of Ouachita, who
with Kinney of Arkansas and L.
Wade of Henderson, played consist
ent but not brilliant game all year.
So it is necessary to shift two veter-
ans with end experience out of the
backfeld and place them on the wings,
Croswell of Henderson and Harton of
Hendrix getting the call. Both
started their football careers at end
and neither has forgotten the defen-
sive tricks of the trade.
At tackle the selection is relatively
easy, Estes of Arkansas and Captain
Bland of Henderson topping the field
Other strong tackles were Wingfield
of Henderson, Butler Toland of
Ouachita and Young of Hendrix. The
two former have been shifted to the
guards on this mythical team where
their 100 pounds avoirdupois each
would prove a bulwark hard to pene-
trate. The guard material was good
this year but none of the regulars at
this position showed sufficient strength
to get place over Wingfield and To-
land. Muller of Henderson, Mills of
Arkansas and Bishop of Hendrix were
the best guards in the state.
The center position goes to Posey
of Henderson by virtue of his weight,
experience and head. A bad knee
destroys his effectiveness in some de-
gree and many would prefer Valen-
tine of Arkansas or Shinn of Hendrix
to the burly Henderson passer.
