 Ernest Peixotto, in Scribner's.
 How comparatively little we know. in America, of the charm of the Span ish garden. Yet the exuberant quin- tas of Valencia, the gay, tiled courts and fountains of Seville. the hanging gardens of the AIhambra, the TO- mantle and melancholy groves of Aranjuez, and the majestic vistas of La Granja might well serve as models for the settings of our country homes in Florida or in California or in the growing southwest. SC Hispanic both in color and in character.
 The gardens of Spain. with a few notable exceptions, were laid out on the grand scale of those of the Italian villas near Rome. nor of the more magnificent of the French chateaux. but they have romantic flavor Of their own and charm that is quite unlike that of any other European. gardens-a charm that, in no small measure. can be directly traced to the influence of the Mocrish occupation.
 This Moorish influence is .particu larly apparent in the gardens of southern Spain (and they, after all, are the most characteristic), where the vegetation is semi-tropic in char acter, and where palms and myrtles and thickets of citron and orange trees give a truly African quality to

CENTRE IS FORCED
 TO LIMIT TO WIN
 FROM U.P.I. ELEVEN
Virginia Tech Scores on Col onelS and KentuCklans
 Forced to Uncover

Richmond, Va. October 1.--Centre college of Kentucky defeated the Virginia Polytechnic eleven here to- day, 10 to 6. but not until atfer their goal line had been crossed for the first time this season. and they had been forced to unoovsr their entire game with Harvard next week.
 The virginians scored in the first period of consistent attack at Cen tres left. Tech got the ball on the Kentuckians' 4s-yard line when Rob erts missed pass, Wallace making a run for 26 yards gain. Plunges at Centres line then took the oval to the one-yard mark, from where Get tie took 1t over. Wallace failed to kick goal.
 The teams played to a standstill during the next two quarters, but 8 moment of oarelessness In the final frame cost V. P. L the game.
 Snowday, who was left uncovered, took forward pass from Covington and carried the ball to Techs 12- yard line. Four smashes at the Vir- ginians resulted in the first down. and four more plunges tied the score. Lemon, by placement kick, put Centre ahead. A few minutes later Tech again erred, Lemon recov- ering the ball on the Virginlans 30 yard line after Sutton fumbled. The Praying Colonels gained nine yards on three plunges, and with a minute to go, Covington lifted perfect drop kick over the bars for the three ad- ditional points.
 The Kentuckians were outplayed throughout virtually the entire game, penalties against Tech on two oc- casions probably keeping the Vir- ginians from winning. On one oc- casion Tech had the ball on Centres four-yard line when they were pen alized 15 yards, and again when within 10 yards of the goal, and only one yard needed for a first down, they were penalized 20 yards.

Woodlawn Wins $50
 Victory Ouer Disque

Gadsden, October 14.-(Special.) )- Disque had another run of miserable luck yesterday. when they went up against the fast Woodlawn team Disquo put up a good scrap but, was entirely outclassed by the fast team work of the Woodlawn aggregation. Whitehead, Disnlukes. Sutherlin and Rltchey played consistent ball for the Disque bunch. but they were not the whole team and when the last whistle blew the score stood 35 to 0 in favor of Woodlawn.
 Disque has some of the best material for good football team of any high school in the south, and the way they took their initial game from Center gave evidence they would put out a winning team this year. Last week they went to Rome and dropped a game and again yesterday they did the same thing to Woodlawn and to a team sconsid erably lighter than theirs. With hard work and sbetter team work they still have a chance to put out a winner but this cannot be done by three or four men on the e@A@AAs -1 tsSf st.ee p 7tfi

Georgia Bulldogs Win When Bennett
 Blocks Punt, 70

Greeneville, S. C., October 14.-Joe Bennett, Georgia tackle, blocked a Furman punt in the final period of the annual Bulldog-Purple Hurricane game here today, and Georgia won. ' to 0.
 Furman had held the Bulldogs safely for three periods in spite of a wet field and slippery ball. Soon after the fourth period started Ben nett slipped through the line and blocked Poteat's punt. Grabbing the ball on the run, the Georgia tackle raced 35 yards for a touchdown. Null vihih went in for Collins at this juncture and scored the point from try after touchdown by a place kick.
 Georgia had a close call at that. Furman got the bah with six minutes to go and opened up an aerial game that all but blocked the Bulldogs. When the timek eeper's whistle blew Furman had the ball on Georgia S one-foot line and Poteat was calling the signals for the second of the four trials they had in which to make it.
 Carter and Bradley. Furman ends and Mason and Butler, Georgia wing men. broke Np play after play that looked good for gains.
 Georgia gained 220 yards from scrimmage and Furman 210.

 Alabama defeated Oglethorpe, 4l to 0, a couple of weeks ago. while Sewanee was able to win, only l9 to yesterday. Still, Tech was able to win over Ogle- thorpe by narrow margin, yet the Jackets mauied the Crimsons unmercifully yesterday. So that's the value of comparative scores.
 Crimson stars
 Crimson stars are plentiful this year Coach Scott seems to have gathered together sturdy set of blacks, led by County Oliver and Stumpy Bartlett. Oliver is the chap who raced the length of the field for touchdown against Tech yesterday. while Bartlett smashed the Oglethorpe line for five touchdowns q week ago.
 Sewanee and Alabama should stage as hectic struggle this year as ever in the past, and, as Birmingham's first major game of the 1922 season, Is expected to be feature of the week in Dixie footballdom.

Howard uHdogs Hold Miss. A. & M. to Tie
Light Bulldog Eleven Out fights and 0utcharges the AggieS to Get Scoreless Tie in Great Battle

Starkville. Mss. October It. Special. )-Ifome town fans should do honor tonight to their scrappy lit tie eleven, the Howard College tBull- dogs, of Birmingham. Magic City fans could scarcely hope to send a worthier crew on gridiron invssions than the one that Invaded Mississlp- pi A. and M.s campus this afternoon, and came off with colors flying.
 Battling as they probably have never battled before. the Bulldogs held the Aggies to a scoreless tie and thereby made gridiron history i'll record or athletic relations be- tween the two schools.
 The Bulldogs, after weak showings in their three previous games of the season. were doped to lose the A. and M. game by wide margin. Instead, outweighed though they were, they fought the Aggies tC a standstill. and took advantage of every break to gain their tie.
 outfOught Maroons
 Coach Cope's aggregation out charged and outfought the Maroons, and the fact that the Aggies had the ball On Towards 6-yard line when the game ended distracts nothing from the glory of the Bulldogs' vir- tual victory over the MaroonB.
 Fumbling and ragged interference were costly to A. and Ms chances of victory. The Bulldogs were hit ting them hard and hitting them low, and McGowan. the Maroons star fullback. sustained a broken finger early fin the game. His retirement from the struggle seemed to disor- ganize the Aggy offense, and the Bulldogs stepped In and added fur ther Reorganization with stonewalI resistance.
 Coach Cope started seven men on his line against A. and M. and those seven men battled gamely through out the contest for the Bulldogs. The only substitutions made were in the backfield, Coach Cope using four quarterbacks In an effort to start a winning offensive against the Ma rooms.
 major portion of Towards sue cess can be attributed to Stevens great bunting. his lusty boots time and time again sending the ball far down into Aggy territory and out of danger.
 1t was a light crew Coach Cope brought to A. and NJ. but MissIssip- plans have found respect for the Bulldogs, due to their great show ing this afternoon. Lineup:

Dallas. Texas, october 1.-The
 Southern Methodist University Mus

 Tigers today, 51 to O.
 While the Mustangs victory was
 due to the long runs of their backs.
 these runs were made possible only by the perfect interference of their mates.
 The Tigers were outplayed, out generated and outfought. They tried hard to overcome the Mus ustangs
 impregnabie line and then resorted to forward passes. In the third | quarter, they completed several but
 no big gains resulted.
 The Tigers had the ball in South

 There was no scoring in the first period. In the. second the Mustangs pushed over three. The third period
 netted another and the fourth saw
 them romp away for 25 points.
 Southern Methodist University defense was likewise too much for the Tigers. The score shows that the Tigers made but five first downs, one on a penalty.
