Texas OKLAHOMA GAME
ATTRACTS RECORD CROWD

The Texas-Oklahoma game at
Dallas Saturday afternoon attracted
a very large crowd and was splen-
did victory for Texas. The score
OF II and hardly represented the
comparative strength of the two
teams. AT least two of the Texas
touchdowns and the Oklahoma
touchdown were the result of fluke
plays and in game between the two
teams might not result again in a
dozen efforts, but even this does not
detract in the leaast from the splen-
did victory of the Texas team. The
Texas team put up a great defensive
game Van Gents men used only
the simplest plays, but the fight they
put into the game won a victory
Oklahoma fought hard fight but
they We're overmatehed and lost
gracefully.
Perhaps the largest crowd that
has ever seen a football game in
Texas Witnessed the Dallas game
Saturday. Every available seat was
filled and people were standing in
the aisles and passage ways to the
arena Ticket sellers had to quit
putting out tickets. 1t was indeed
the football classic of the season.

An award of $2420T has been given Miss Ida Houle by Compensation Com- missioner James J. Donohue for injur- ies received while at work in the Po- nemah Mills. The finding was filed in the office of the superior court clerk on Friday.
 The case was heard in the commis Sioner'S office in the Central building on Monday morning, Oct. 2, at 10.30 o'clock. The claimant was 8 warper tender in the employ of the Ponemah Mills at Taftville and on May IS she received an injury which caused the loss of two-thirds of the index finger, and the complete loss of the second finger of the right hand as well as an injury to the thumb and third finger of the same hand.
 On June a voluntary agreement was made between the parties. where the claimant was to receive com pensation during the disability caused by the injuries to the thumb and third pensation should be continued at the rate of $5 weekly for 58 weeks for specific injury. At the hearing 1t was found that @ mistake had been made by the person who filled out the dia- gram, which is used to show the ex- tent of amputations. which caused the insurance company to figure the com- pensation to which the claimant was entitled for specific injuries as 5S weeks whereas it should have read 55 1-3 weeks. The original agreement read Toss of index finger and two- thirds of middle finger and was ap proved and filed with the superior court. The finding made is. for the reasons given. for the purpose of de- claring void the voluntary agreement made and is intended to replace it.
 The claimant having made a re- quest for lump sum settlement and

the settlement and determination of the period of disability period and the matter having reached no satisfactory conclusion, hearing was asked for and her request granted.
 It is found that the claimant is en- titled to compensation for 55 1-3 weeks for specific injuries to index and middle fingers. It is found also that the claimant is entitled to com pensation for Il weeks for disability to thumb. the disability resulting from the injury to the third finger not cov- ering a longer period, this estimate being dependent upon the statement of the attending physician under date of Sept. 9th, in which he said:
 '"This is to certify that in the case of Miss Ida Houle. the laceration of her thumb proved to be very obstinate in healing and was not entirely healed till nearly three months from date of injury"
 Miss Houle claimed eleven weeks compensation because of the injury to her thumb and it is found that she is entitled to the same as even at the time of the hearing. although the wound had healed. it was very sensi- ble and she would even then be un- able to return to her duties as warper, because of this tenderness.
 It is also found, for the reasons given by both the claimant and her father, that it is just and necessary that the balance of the compensation to which the claimant had already received com pensation for seventeen weeks, there would be a balance due her of 49 1-3 weeks at the rate of five dollars week ", which commuted at per cent. would amount to $242.G7.
 It was ordered that the respondents pay to the claimant Ida Houle, a min or, through her father, Charles Houle, the sum of $242.07. which shall con- stitute a full and complete settlement.
