Meyers Of the North Fort Worth
team is aggrieved at the officials OF

had every right In the world to

the game, but when it comes TO
casting slurs and misstating facts, IL
lis entirely a different thing. The
charge that indignities we're offered
the young lady visitors is ma
licious claim. made for the purpose
iof prejudicing the minds of the
home people. Coach Meyers knows
there is no truth in this claim. and
he knows that any self-respecting
citizen of Waxahachie will resent
the statement Football in Waxa-
hachie is patronized by the very
best people of the city. and man
who says these people stood by and
permitted defenseless girls to be in

of protecting himself.
Let US consider for moment
that part of the interview which
justifies the Fort Worth coach in
taking his team off the field He
complains that the officials we're all
Waxahachie men. The officials were
all Trinity men, but one makes his
home in Waxahaehie. Mcmillan was
put out of the game for demanding
10 be shown the rule. He refused
point blank to accept the decision
OF the referee, and when called to
play refused to play under the
referee. The Fort Worth team was
penaiized often. 1t is true but be-
fore a penalty was inflicted the field
captain was warned time AMI again
that he must not have more than
one OF his backs" in motion be-
fore the ball was snapped. It seems
that the backs" had formed a
habit OF starting just before the ball
was snapped and even when Me
MILAN warned his men of the
threatened penalty they did not
heed the warning Attention OF
Prof. Tarleton, member OF the
North Fort Worth faculty, was cali
