black object on the surface and i'm
mediately warned the officer of the
watch, who recognized the periscopc
OF submarine. This timely warning
enabled US to get up speed and pro-

maneuver saved us from the torpedo
which was fired at us shortly after

SECOND TEAM WINS
GAME FROM PALMER
SCORES FOUR TOUCHDOWNS
AND KICKS TWO GOALS TO
VISITORS TWO.
Game Was Exciting and Demonstrate
ell That Palmer Has the
''Makings' OF Fast Team.

The Waxahachie High school stu
dents are hard ones to get down and
out. This fact was eXemplified Fri
day afternoon when they had two
foot ball games going at the same
hour. While the first team was
fighting a losing battle on the Sher-
man gridiron the second string team
MAS giving good account of them
selves in battle with the Palmer
team on the local gridiron, The
second team was outweighed by
The visitors, but a superior knowl-
edge of foot ball brought success 10
the green and white colors. The
game was an interesting one from
the very start, and but for lack
of training the Palmer team would
have mixed matters considerably
more than they did. The final score
vas 90 and II.
In the first quarter the two teams
scored a touchdown but failed to
kick goal leaving the score .
and 6. The second quarter was
started with a rush, the WaXahachle
team playing in good luck by re-
covering a punt within few yards
of the goal line. The ball was
forced over by stiff line bucks.
On the kickoff Waxahaehie sent.
the ball to the Palmer 20 yard line,
only to be rushed across the field
for score by the Palmer team III
three plays. The big full back for
the Palmer team slipped through
the line for a 40-yard run and scored
a touchdown. Like Waxahachie the
Palmer team failed TO kick goal
and the score was II and IL
After a kick off By Palmer the bali
was worked back and forth across
the field until Palmer finally punt
ca. and then the second team began
10 work end runs for good gains
sweeping across the field rapidly Tor
a touchdown and kicked goal max
ing the score 10 and ~. On the
next Kickoff the WaXahachie team
worked a pretty fake play that net
ted 80 yards around end. At the
beginning of the fourth quarter the
locals continued their end runs ana
scored another touchdown. Score
