OLE MISS TEAM
OUTPLAYS S. P. U.
ALL VISITORS WERE GAME
Five Touchd0wns Stacked Up Against
OvsrcOnfident Southwestern
Eleven.

The unexpected has happened. At
least it was unexpected to the Ole
Miss eleven. S. P. U. was beaten
Saturday in a remarkably clean game
of football 800. They came Friday
night eighteen strong and confident
of winning the game. Heavy, old, and
quietly assured of taking the game
they gave the team night of I'M
easiness and it was only when Santa
Claus" robertson went over Tor the
first touchdown three minutes after
the game started that the boys teit
better about the game. Then after
the third touchdown they felt that the
game was so "sewed up" that they let
down for nearly two quarters. S. r.
U. held them and threatened their goal
several times. However, in the last
quarter Red and Blue scored again
and from then on the game was in
Ole Miss favor. The visitors played
good, clean football, fighting all the
time but were out-classed entirely.
The touchdowns were made as fol-
lows: Robertson over tackle; Robert
son over tackle; Jiggetts around left
end; Lake intercepted pass and ran
twenty-five yards for the last score
of the game. Barbour played his
first game at quarter and showed that
he was as good at running the team
as he was at running the ball. Rob-
ertson at full ran exceptionally well
gaining all the time and never SEEM
ing to show the effects of the run
ming and rough treatment he was re-
ceiving. The whole team was in con-
dition and played good ball, though
loosening up little in the middle Of
the game.
For the visitors, Cobb, the quarter
back starred Fast as streak Of
creased lightning, he circled the ends
two or three times for good gains.
Moore, at half, also ran well through
the line. The center's defensive work
was remarkably good. He got pretty
badly knocked about the first of the
game, and was hurt several times but
refused to take time out and stuck to
it, seemingly playing better ball after
each disaster.
A well-played, clean game Of foot
ball was the verdict of all who wit
messed the defeat of the overconfident
Southwestern team.

We are not making any special eff

GOOD ROADS.

Lafayette county can boast OF hay
ing the best country roads Of any
county in the State. This by no means
should mean that our people should
cease to make further efforts along
the line of road improvements. Every
effort should be eXerted to improve
our roads more.
With good roads comes prosperity;
good roads make life worth while, then
why should we lag in our efforts to
get better roads and more of them?
The Government is offering us aid
to build good roads; the money is ours
for the asking. If we play the act Of
slackers, other counties will get the
money that we should have. Then it
stands US in hand, to reach out and get
al that is coming to US. We are go
ing to be taxed just the same, whether
we get the benefits of the Government
a,3 or not.
The people of Lafayette County
say this because it is time. Our pro-
should organize a Good Road Associa-
ton, and do it at once. Without con-
certed efforts we can not accomplish
as much as we could through organ
ICED efforts.
Call a mass meeting at once. Let's
get together and boost and pull for
better roads and more Of them.

TOWN IMPROVEMENT.

There is a great lacking of the
proper interest with the people of Ok
ford toward improving the town. Civ
ic pride seems to be foreign with most
OF cur people. Why should this be :?
We have one of the best towns in
north Mississippi-the best people in
the world live here in Oxford. We
pie are busy people; they are up and
doing all the time. They have for the
past two years devoted their entire
time to helping others, and have neg
lected the interests that should now
have our immediate attention-town
improvement.
1t is now time Of the year for plant
ing trees. This winter should find
every family, whether renters or own
ers of the home, planting trees about
their premises, making some improve
ments about the home. A Civic I'm
provement League to cooperate with
the mayor and commissioners, would
be of much benefit to the town.
Let US turn our attention to matters
of home interest and town improving
for the next few months. Plant trees,
bulbs, paint your house, whitewash
your fowl houses, reset fences, paint
up, and let's see if we can't make the
old town look better.
