GAME GIVES HENDRIX
 LEAD OVER REDDIES

By defeating Henderson Brown last night, Ouachita put Hendrix one game Tn front in the association race. count ing the thorough trouncing which the Bulldogs gave College of the Ozarks on the local court. Philadelphia sport writers in chronicling basketball standing by percentage have been prone to omit the Hendrix Ozarks game, although the Clarksville school IS a member of the same association as the Big Three"
 Coach Dale Jones, who is at Pine Bluff with the Bulldogs, is willing to send his team against the Reddies for a series which will decide the champ lonship. Regular games have failed to eliminate contendeTs or to clearly establish one as the winner. If the standing by percentage is not accept ed as deciding the winner, the only recourse would be a tournament as suggested by the Hendrix mentor.

 The stars recognized ability as an acress of what is termed the sympa- thetic type is given full play and her fashionable wardrobe more than proves her right to the title of "The Smartest Dressed Girl on the Screen" :"
 Miss Stewards career in Her Mad Bargain" ranges in social strata from the inner circle of society to the humble position of artists model. The role is admirably suited to her natural beauty and grace and in it she is given opportunity for dramatic scenes that fairly hold one spellbound.

AWARD WITHHELD
 ON CADRON BRIDGE
SEVERAL BIDS RECEIVED
Oliver Construction Company Claims Right to Construct Bridge Under
 Original Contract.

The commissioners of the Conway and Damascus road district adjourn ed yesterday without taking definite action toward letting the contract for the building of bridge across East Cadron. Bids for the construction of this bridge were filed by the Mid land Bridge & Construction Company of Kansas City, the Vincennes Bridge Company of Muskogee, Okla, Blodgett Construction Company of Shreveport, La, Hansen Constructing Company of Blytheville, Ark, J. P Jones of Conway, Farmer X Burgett Bridge Company of Memphis, St. Louis Structural Steel Company, and M. K. Orr of Harrison, Ark. The board at the same time received bids for the construction of new bridge across Clifton branch, north of Wooster, and r. L. Scull submitted a separate bid on this bridge. It was stated by mem bers of the board yesterday that an allotment of $25,000 had been made by the federal government for the construction of this bridge, and that the bids received indicated that the bridge could be built within this al lotment
 R. B. Oliver of the Oliver Con struction Company, which has the contract for the construction of the Conway and Damascus road, was present at the receiving of bids and stated that his company would claim that it had the right to construct this bridge under the original contract. The board, however, took the posi- tion that this bridge was not a part of the original contract let to the Oliver Construction Company. The prices fixed in the original contract for bridge construction, which was let in August, 1920, it is said are very much higher than the prices now prevailing. No announcement was made by the board as to when the contract for the construction of this bridge would be formally entered in- to, but it is expected that the mat ter will be closed up in the next few weeks so that actual work on the bridge may be started as soon as the weather permits.

JONES SAYS DOGS
 DEFEATED Y BOYS

Hendrix defeated Pine Bluff Y. M. C. A. at Pine Bluff last night by the score of 20 to 19, according to Coach Dale Jones, who called the Log Cabin Democrat over long distance this afternoon to correct the score inac- curately given in state papers to- day. Referee O'Connor disallowed a basket tossed by one of the Pine Bluff boys and it was omitted from the of- ficial score, but the boy at the score board let the two points stand and the spectators, including the Gazette representative, left the gym with the impression that Pine Bluff had won by one point, 21 to 20.
 It was anybody's game, Jones said, and was closely played from start to finish. Hawley and Schisler started Hendrix on the road upward with a basket and point from foul, but Pine Bluff did not lag. The lead al- ternated from team to team and the outcome was in doubt until the last minute.
 Coach Jones stated there was no doubt as to the referees official rul- ing on the basket, which was accepted on the court and by the scorers, ap- parently by everybody except the boy at the score board, who failed to hear it. As consequence, the two battled through, Pine Bluff thinking it's team the victor and Hendrix under the i'm pression that it was being defeated until the score was checked up and the error found
