NORMAL LOSES TO
JONESBORO 6 TOO
Hard Fought Contest Won by
Arkansas Eleven in Fourth
Quarter.

JoNIASBORO, Ark, Oct. 1S--The West
Tennessee normal football team of
Memphis went down to defeat here
Friday afternoon before the Jonesboro
Aggies by the score Of s to 0. The lone
score occurred in the final period only
a minute or so before the final whistle,
when Tankersley went over for a touch
down. He failed to kick goal and the
score ended 6 to 0 for the home lads.
The contest vas a rough and tumble
affair with mtxups being frequent. Ow-
ing to the intense rivalry between the
two elevens both squads fought hard
for the decision. Rollin Wilson, normal
quarterback, was the most brilliant star
for normal, along with Berry, who
played right end. Grantham also had
his share of the spotlight.

ENGLAND SPENDS so MILLION
Grants to That Amount Will Be Dis
tributed for Reconstruction of
Roads and Bridges.

Grants amounting to $50,0OO,000 will
be distributed by the British road
board for the reconstruction of roads
and bridges in England in 1919. De
modified army units will be used to
do the labor. Local highway authori-
ties will be required to match this
appropriation by at least as large a
program of road work as they carried
out in the year before the war. Area
taken into consideration, England's
program is thus far in excess of that
Of the United States, including both
federal aid and state funds.
