The Hammond Hoosiers
The Hammond team has made al
enviable record this season and should
rank high in national honors. whei
tie season closes. They have won two
games, tied one and lost one. Perhaps
the most noteworthy feature of the
year was their tie with Canton, Ohio
one of the best teams in the league
and for years the worlds professional
champions. The Cardinal team is led
by Driscoll, the greatest player ever
turned out at Northwestern. .Driscoll
has surrounded himself with many OF
the western stars, who will undoubt-
eddy give Hammond a great battle on
Sunday, October 80, when the two
teams meet at 61st and Racine streets.
Williams A Marvel
Ink" Williams, the genial colored
lad, is star OF the first magnitude.
He is as swift as an antelope land as
strong as a bull. This boy is one OF
the fastest men who ever .donned a
Uniform. He was champion of New
England in the 50-yard dash and in
the 100 has been clocked at 94-5 sec
onds. He shared honors with Pollard
while at Brown and some, including
the writer, believe he would eclipse the
mighty Pollard if he was played at
half. Thousands OF the South Siders
will get their first opportunity to see
Ink" in action Sunday. and it is safe
to say that the willy Paddy Driscoll
will be foiIed many times by the speedy
Williams.

HAMPTON BEATS
SHAW, 7 TO 6
By Charles II. Williams

HAMPTON. VA, Oct. 19.-Al-
though Hampton and Shaw began
playing football in 1907, Hampton
played its first game in the League
Park at Raleigh on Friday, October
q, 1921.
Under clear skies and with weather
made to order, the two teams battled
Ter three quarters Without either being
able to score. The Shawites entered
the game with considerable confidence,
a. they defeated Hampton last season
Is to 0. Hampton had two chances to
score and Shaw one chance in the
three periods. The defensive work OF
both teams was effective. Poor gen.
eralshlp and a penalty for Hampton
aided Shaw, but she could not score.
The punting OF both teams was only
fair Chamberlin for Hampton and
1oung for Shaw received and ad-
KaHeed kicks well. Dabncy OF Iiamp-
ton at center played in old-time form,
while Lyon at full Tor Shaw played
stellar ball.
The last quarter was sensational. 1t
opened with both teams trying to
srore. Hampton appeared 10 be get
ting the advantage until Williams OF
shaw made a dash of Is yards around
IIampton5 left end for touchdown
His Interference was perfect, taking
every Hampton man out OF play. The
goal was missed. The Shaw rootcrs
were wild with JOY. As there we're
only eleven minutes remaining to play
victory seemed certain.
Hampton received the kickoff In
the next four minutes OF play they
planted the pigskin behind their goal
line without once losing H. Goal was
kicked and the score stood 7 to in
Ilampton'5 favor.
Both team, displayed some OF the
old-timc fighting spirit that has made
their schools famous. The game was
one OF the cleancst and hardest fought
games ever witnessed IN Raleigh. The
craftsmanship exhibited added much
to the pleasure OF the spectators.

iqI WISH I.coULD HAVE BEEN THERE

But my heart would have just went humping
Like hammer on nail;

Bout how the people shouted
And the hats that went sailing high,
And folks forgot your color -,
On that 23rd Of July.

Just to have your glorious face,
Knowing that your personal victory = -
Was another for the race
oh, how I'd love to have been there,
And pictured other clean clean, bronze lads
Who will follow in your footsteps
And gladden. the hearts of their dads
Because such fellows as Pollard,
Sol Butler and clean-cut Drew
Went through with colors flying
In the same fair way you.
Yes, I'd love to have been able to have you
Do just what you did on that day,
When you jumped that twenty-five and three
And wiped the old record away.
I'd love to have seen your comrades
Raise you high in the air mid their cheers
I'd love to have seen you smiling
As the echoes smote your ears.
| couldn't be there to you, my lad,
But some day hope to grasp your hand
And smile--not as Negro to Negro,

Came Home for Better Things.

OrviIIe Wlnton, who has been work ing in the oil fields at Breckenridge, Tex, arrived in Mena Friday for a visit. with relatives and friends. He has been driving a truck and reports that the price of crude has dropped to a low price, causing a showdown in production and consequent reduction in the demand for labor. But the big reason for the young mans return to Polk county is the lack of good drink ing water, and the fact that it hasn't rained at Breckenridge for several weeks. As result the dust is almost uncomfortable and the strong wind that blows over the Texas plains makes living there all but pleasant.

What happened to the high school baseball team at Heayener Friday afternoon is shrouded in mystery, tho it is evident that during the after noon the local lads received an awful trouncing on the diamond. The re- port that came to Mena via wireless or grapevine or something of that sort was that Heavener amassed IS scores to 8 for Mena.

If all the stations on the Kansas Ciy Southern can show as good a monthly business as Mena, the rail- road will not be one of those that can justly claim loss of business. The monthly report of Agent A. Mitchell shows that during April the Mena station increased it's business total of $4.O00 over the same month the preceding year. During that month the local freight department shipped out 900 bales more cotton than it did in April, 1920. The total increase in cotton shipments from Mena for the season was 1,500 bales.
