INFANTRY TEAMS ARE
VICTORIOUS In TWO
SOLDIER GRID GAMES
First Infantry Beats Engi-
neers, Twentieth Downs
Artillerymen.

Infantry teams came out ahead in
both of the football games played in
the Post League at Fort Sam Hous-
ton Wednesday afternoon. The First
Infantry, 1922 champions. showed
the Second Engineers under, 40 TO
o, while the Twentieth Infantry won,
Is to 0, from the Twelfth Field Ar
tillery. The third scheduled game,
between the Mounted Service and the
Ninth Infantry, was postponed in
definitely because the Mounted Ser
vice players were out of the camp
on duty.
In the First Infantry-Second Engi
neer game, the Infantrymen broke
through the Engineer defense. for
seven touchdowns in the last three
quarters after being held scoreless by
the lighter but scrappy Engineers in
the first quarter. Plummer made
three of the touchdowns for the In
fantrymen, going around end for 80
yard run to goal at one time, con-
Meeting up with a pass at another,
and pushing the ball over again when
kthe team was close to the Engineer
goal line. Rattan also starred for the
Infantry with two touchdowns and
III hohinS cAtid poiilS. poWSiSVSh
and McGrath made touchdowns.
The Engineers wonderful defense
in the first quarter was featured by
the brilliant work of Wigs who was
forced out Of the game through ex-
haustion in the third period.
Williams and Mannix made the
two touchdowns against the Twelfth
Field Artillery for the Twentieth In
fantry. A long end run by Williams
brought the first touchdown and Nam
nix made the second when he re-
covered a tumble. Williams did good
work both in line bucks and runs
around the ends. Whetton did good
work for the Artillery, and Ogden and
Mlynczak were successful in stopping
many of the Artillery plays aimed at
their line positions.

Not to Be Questioned
Before High Contest

Quarrels over the eligibility of
players which have marred the last
few days before the annual high
school football struggle between
Breckenridge and Main in the last
two years have been forestalled
this season by action on the part
of the coaches of the two teams.
Names of the Main High squad
and the Breckenridge squad were
presented at a meeting of coaches
the other day. Bobby Cannon, act
ing for Breckenridge High. sur
veyed the Main list. checked off
the men, and announced that
Breckenridge High would not
question the eligibility of any Of
them. ."Spitz" Clarke did the same
for the Breckenridge squad, alter
being assured. be says, that one
or two men he was at first IN
clined to veto were not ineligible.
Thus. unless players do some
thing in the meantime to make
them ineligible for the big game on
November 10. the coaches of the
rival high school teams have en-
tered gentlemen's agreement not
TO bring up the question of intli-
gibility to mar the sportsmanliSe
atmosphere which should surround
the high school championship tilt.

For the fifth consecutive month

Motor Car corporation broke all pre-

when 4,327 cars were sent out to dis

by o. C. Hutchinson, general sales

Incomplete preliminary reports
from sales agencies scattered through
out the world also indicate tina May
vas the greatest sales month in the
history of Hupp distributors and
dealers, exceeding April, which had
set up n new high record.
There is no indication of any let
up in the demand for H~upmobiles,"
declares Mr.. Hutchinson. I'VE re.
Gently informed all distributors that
their allotments for June must be
cut 40 per cent. through inability of
the corporation to make up untitled
back orders.
Sales throughout the south are
surprisingly heavy and in tho big
agricultural districts they have beer
better for the last seven or eight
weeks than at any time in our his
tory. We expect continued heavy
business from both regions. Dis
tributors r likewise reporting un.
usually heavy sales in cities where
their headquarters are located"
Hupp started out the year with the
intention of producing 10000 cars.
Shipments for the first five months
were 20, 1913, which means that the
corporation is well ahead of its
