Automobile racing was never more

its 1919 program. Attractive purses
have been hung uD, and several Of
the worlds most noted drivers will be

passed the 1919 contestants will be
compelled to drive their cars around
the circle in way that will make the
spectators breathless with excite
ment.
In addition to seeing world-famei
drivers in action, the crowd at the
| State Fair October 26 will also have
the opportunity Of focusing their

Football teams were chopped to

owing TO the fact that many players
were in the military service, and
many annual contests, including the
Observation-Disclosures meet, had to be
Cancelled. But most of the young men
are out Of the service now, many OF
them having returned to their studies,
and interest in athletics. especially
football, was perhaps never so IN
tense as it Is this year There IS keen
rivalry, as usual, between the Louisl
ana Tigers and the Arkansas Razor
backs, and when they meet on the
State Fair gridiron at Shreveport
they will lock horns with the deter
mInation to fight every inch of the
ground. They are rivals of long stand
ing, and whenever they meet the spec
tators witness a fight worth many
times the price Of admission.
Many schools ana college students
will attend the Fair on School anG
College Day, and their colors and
yells promise to make merry the
scene at the ArkansaS-LOuiSiala
game. Several bands are expected tc
take part in the demonstrations.
