]. Il N. CONDITIONS THAT MUST
BE REMEDIED.

The New Orleans Item is of the
opinion that the hearing of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad
Company before the Louisiana Rail
way Commission to show cause why
an order should not be issued to
compel the building of adequate
bridges across Rigolets and Chef
Menteur will result in nothing, "un-
less the people who are concerned
assert themselves" The same pub
lication is also of the opinion that
for further and more effective pro-
lection ''the Gulf Coast travellers in
New Orleans should form an assoc
iation of their own"
The Item has been very active in
the premises and is performing a
public service that cannot be lost
sight of. In its issue of Saturday
it contained the following article,
worthy of perusal and consideration
ton and-action.
'sWe are not surprised" that jour
nal says, ''that the Louisiana Rail
road Commission, acting on COM
plants from the people, have cited
the Louisville and Nashville railroad
before it to show cause why an or
der should not be issued to compel
the building of adequate bridges
across the Rigolets and Chef Men
teun The toothpick-and-grape-ar-
bor construction of these grand out
lets for the continental traffic be-
tween New York and New Orleans
would not do credit to the Tooner-
vile Trolley Company, or to any
jerkwater branchline through an I'M
poverished countryside.
"When you reflect that these
flimsy trestles go down under every
hurricane that periodically sweeps
up from the Caribbean, and that
the whole transport of thousands OF
people in New Orleans and Missis-
sippi is abruptly stopped for weeks,
and one of the most important ar
teries of through-trafic between
New Orleans and the East and
North is closed-the condition is
seen for what it is grotesque.
when you reflect that these
bridges have now taken to falling
into the water-with the same des-
tructive, annoying, and damaging
consequences to the public at large
whenever a breeze rises above 4O
miles and a few extra feet of water
come in at high tide-the condition
has become intolerable.
The hearing, however, before the
Railway Commission will result IN
nothing unless the people, who are
concerned assert themselves. The
railroad will be there with its usual
brigade of agents, lawyers, lobbyists
and whatnot, visible or in the back
ground. They will talk everybody
else's undigested testimony out OF
court, and nothing will eventuate.
The Louisville and Nashville, by
age-long policy, prefers to ease it
self ssby" with lawyers, lobbyists,
and subsidized politicians and news

put it over for their first and last
touchdown. Gardner kicked goal
making it z to 0 in favor of the
Navy.
THIRD QUARTER.
During the half rest period Forster
terminated the fighting spirit of the
Rock-a-chaws and when the third
quarter was three minutes old the
Navy men knew their chance of
scoring was over and their only
hope lay in trying to hold us back.
Four times in rapid succession we
made first downs On the seven
yard line tumble costs US the ball.
The Navy kicked out of their half
of the field but few well executed
forward passes and an end run
brought the ball back within striking
distance. On third down Hippo
tossed forward pass, it crossed the
goal line but was missed by inches.
The Navy then took the ball on the
20 yard line but lost possession on
attempted line bucks. The quarter
ended with the ball in our posses
sion on the 32nd yard line.
FOURTH QUARTER.
In the last quarter Hippo un-
corked a dazzling array of trick
plays that kept the sailors guessing.
Repeatedly, Chauffe or Glover car
ried the ball around end or off tackle
for a few yards. Twice we came in
distance of the goal and were
thrown back on penalties. Finally,
with IA yards to go Hippo elected to
wear himself out Or bring it over.
After successive line bucks the re-
feree sorted out the players and
found Hippo on the bottom of the
pile with the ball eight inches over
the line He kicked goal and the
score was tied. Then the scoring
ended With darkness closing in,
the ball seesawed from thirty yard
line to thirty yard line of the other
goal, but nothing was accomplished.
When the timers whistle sounded
there was not enough light to see
the players but the crowd remained.
The College had the ball and were
down field again.
Perry Roehm oficiated with Leo
Seals. Both officials are to be con-
graduated for their splendid ham
ding of so difficult a game. Decis-
ions were questioned but the officials
were found to be always in the
right,

The 1920 Football season closed
on Thanksgiving Day with the
greatest game ever seen on the
Stanislaus Field. The Jefferson
game was a great one, but in that
game S. S. c. played with caution
and reserve. In Thursdays game
the throttle was wide open and the
boys played with abandon. The
Navy brought over the team that
showed Jefferson under by a 27 to
o score. They had experience to
add to their weight. Undefeated
through the whole season except by
the local team they were determined
to recoup.
The team led by Captain Hippo
Phillips realizing, that this game
marked the last appearance in a Col
lege jersey were as fully determined
to pay him the tribute of ending
his splendid record with a glorious
victory.
Side-line odds of seven to five
were freely offered by the Navy
men. Local Bay st. Louis covered
all money in sight. The game
ended in to tie. This is tan
tamount to victory when playing
with such a team.
FIRST QUARTER.
The Navy won the toss and cleo
ted to receive. Phillips kicked far
down to their goal and they ran it
up about ten yards. Their first at
tempt failed and the ball went over
on four downs. A few forward
passes and a few ends runs with lit
tie real gain for either team kept
the ball back and forth and the
quarter ended with the College in
possession of the ball on the SO yard
line.
SECOND QUARTER.
The Navy held S. S. c. for downs
and then started a march down the
field Four first downs brought
them within the shadow of our line.
The splendid line work and perfect
physical condition of the Red and
Black then began to show. We
held them for downs on the six yard
line. Hippo punted out of danger
but the ball went off the field at the
forty yard line and the same march
began again. Again we held the
Jackies with goal to go and for the
second time Hippo booted the ball
back. On the third march with but
forty seconds to play the Jackie:

HANCOCK COUNTY WINNERS
AT STATE FAIR.

Checks are being mailed out by
the Hancock County Fair Associa-
ton to the individuals winning
premiums at the State Fair at Jack
son.
1t is interesting to note that these
premiums were not won by any par
ticular section, but were well distri-
buted throughout the. county. This
seems to indicate that Hancock
county as whole is getting the
''fair" spirit, and, If continued,
should mean much for the future of
the county.
The winners are as follows:
Wool Display-Green Brown and
J. j. Stewart, contributing wool and
Miss Annie Koch, contributing mo-
hair, to make up wool display, first
premium. All the above are from
Logtown.
Cane-Luther Lee, Caeser; first
prize.
Potatoes-James Rester, Caeser
second prize.
Cotton Charlie Thigpen, Nichol-
son; first prize.
Pecan Display. E. Saucier, Bay
ST. Louis; H. Weston Lumber Co.,
Logtown, and a boy from Sellers
(name unknown), contributing to
make display; second prize.
Largest PearSanford Banks,
Fenton; first prize.
Native Pecans. E. Saucier,
Bay st. Louis; first prize.
This undoubtedly shows good
work, as well as a splendid spirit on
the part Of the people contributing
to our State Fair exhibit. We see
no reason why this record should
not be excelIed next year. Plans are
already being made for the County
Fair next fall, and the Fair Associa-
ton expects to have the revised
catalogue In the hands of the peo-
pie in early spring. The premiums
will be approximately the same as
last year, and the association hopes
to make our next fair the best in
the history of Hancock county.
