Dayton. Kenns and Carlsbad TO BE

Short Time

The Pecos valley, In eastern New
Mexico, especially the southeastern
part. Is coming In for more and more
attention from oil men, many Of whom
prophesy that that district will be the
worlds next great oil field. OIL has
been known to exist there for years
and well IL actually operating at
Lakewood. near Dayton, near which
point the excitement seems to be cen
tering. According to all the experts
who have visited that section all that
is necessary to get the oil Is to put the
drill down, for they are positive that
the whole country thereabouts Is un-
derlaid with oil, and most OF them
prophesy gushers, OF the sort that
made the Texas field famous.

Dartmouth Winner
Over Penn State by
Score of 10 to IL

HANOVER, N. H., Oct. 1s.-Dart-
mouth football players aided in the
celebration of the 150th anniversary of
the college to-day by defeating Penn
State 10 to 10, before the largest crowd
Of Dartmouth men that ever gathered
in the oval
The Penn State eleven led Dart
mouth 13 to at the end Of the first
period. Way, halfback, caught the
first kickoff on his 1O-yard line and
eluded the Dartmouth tacklers.
few minutes later he picked up a
fumbled ball on Penn States 15-yard
mark and dashed over the Green's line
for the second time
Dartmouth scored a touchdown in
each of the first two periods by ham
mering holes in Penn States line. In
the third period Holbrook broke
through the Penn State defence at mid
field, pushed off three tacklers and
went over with the winning touch
down.

in the last half Of the fourth period,
and when bucking the steel-like line
of the Williams team did not bring re-
turns, resorted to a punting duel. in
which Boynton had the better Of Shaw
and Thornton.
Following punt Of forty-five yards
Of Boynton's to Columbias 25-yard
line, there was "a mix-up on the Blue
and White signals and Columbia
gone in at right half for Burger in
the Williams lineup, smashed his way
through the opposing interference and
picked up the ball. Half a dozen Co.
lumbia men were after him, but Beckett
shot over the chalk marks and scored
the fourth and final touchdown of the
game. Lasell kicked the goal, and the
score was Williams, Is; Columbia, 0.
Columbia had one splendid chance to
score touchdown in the middle Of the
third period, when Canapary, at mid
sharp angle across the field to Vein
stein, who had dashed down the field
to catch it on the l5-yard line. He
dld. and dashed his way past the Will
Jams men FOR the goal line.
Touchdown is Dilallowed
Weinstein planted the ball safely be-
mind the last chalk mark, but, to the
gloom of the Columbia rooters, the ball
was called back, and it was explained
that Canapary had not been standing
five yards behind the line of scrimma9e
when the pass was made.
In the last period Columbia was
penalized Is yards for rough work, a
Columbia man jumping on Boynton
when the Williams captain had the
ball. 1t was right after this that Boyn-
ton passed to Codding for Williams's
third touc hdown.
Summing it up briefly, the Williams
team was the superior of the local
eleven in almost every department.
The line smashing of tho Purple backs
tore great holes consistently in the
Columbia teams left side; the Will
! Jams men tackled lower and more
effectively; Boynton's punting was dis
tinctly better than either Shaw's or
Thornton's, and their interference was
UNNECESSARILY superior.
Next to Boynton the work Of Hib-
hard and Krieger stood out on the
Williams team. and Fargo was a bea,
at interference. Quigley and Shaw
were the best in the Columbia back
field, Quigley's running being particu-
larly good, even though he had little
| protection from his team mates.
