 day Afternoon

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. g. Especial Leased Wire. )-In the hard est fought high school tilt Mont gomerians have witnessed this season the scrapping Poets of Sidney Lanier lost their first game of the season to Barton academy of Mobile 60 thus giving their championship hopes severe jar
 The game was played in drizzling rain on a field covered with mud, but the thrills were many and the Lanier boys did not cease fighting until the final whistle blew.
 The first and only score of the game came in the first quarter when Sawyer fumbled on his own eight yard line. Then forward pass Athey to Groddick netted the winning touchdown. Athey failed to kick goal.
 Harris starred for Lanier in the backfieId, while Lipman and Mike" O'Brien played good defensive games on the line. Athey, captain of the Barton team proved to be cool and crafty field general who ran his team in jam-up style. Smith and Diamond were the mainstays in the visitors line.
 Fumbles in the first half of the game were disastrous to the locals Barton is by far the best team that the Poets have tackled this season.

". & J. TEAM PLAYS
 LAFAYETTE TO TIE

NEW YORK, Nov 3.-Two well matched Pennsylvania college elevens, LaFayette and Washington and Jefferson, battled to a 6 to tie at the Polo Grounds today before a crowd of 30,00o. Each team crossed the goal line on forward pass and each team failed in the attempt to kick the goal.
 The game was strikingly similar to last years contest between these two colleges on the same gridiron, except that then the Presidents won by single point after a touchdown, 14 to 13.
 Lafayette had somewhat the bet ter of the argument today. Twice the Eastonians were within few yards of the goal line, but on each occasion the Presidents presented a magnificent defense and the long, hard marches up the field went for naught. Washington and Jefferson never seriously threatened LaFayette after scoring it's touchdown.
 Time and again Kirkleski and Chicknowski reeled off slashing gains for Lafayette on a short triple pass close behind the line. The Presidents could not fathom the play, except when their goal line was threatened. West, negro halfback for the Presidents, although watched closely, ran brilliantly, making great gains on offtackle @thrusts.

OKLAHOMA CITY, October II.
Flood waters from the North
Canadian river which took a toll of
two lives and caused $3,000,000 dam
ages in Oklahoma City, swept down
stream today, threatening smaller
cities.
The overflow here receded so
that many of the $4,000 persons
driven from their lowland homes
when the city reservoir broke, re
leasing a great wall of water, were
able to return.
About 1900 were still being
cared for in schools and churches
and other public buildings. Row
boats were being used to transport
them to their homes, some enter
ing the second story windows.
Dealers were unable to obtain
milk from rural districts due to
high water and the supply w"s cut
short.
Unable to obtain meat from
Packingtown, cut off by the flood,
arrangements were made to rush
supplies mere from NaiisaS Il'.,
ST. Joseph and Omaha.
The crest Of the flood reached
Shawnee today. Jones City and
Spencer, two small settlements be-
tween Oklahoma City and Shawnee,
were surrounded by water.
Rock Island tracks, following the
course of the river near Shawnee

Mud and debris carried up by
the flood, covered more than 100
blocks in Oklahoma City, where the

ENROLMENT AT
SCHOOLS SHO WS
LOCAL GROW I H
High School Reaches
Highest Attendance
Point in History

Contrary to the wailings of cal
amity howlers about lost popula-
tion, FL Centre is, according to the
school enrolment, back to where
she was in her peak year, 1920.
According to figures recently given
out by Prof. j. L. House, principal
of Central Union high school and
A. Z. Shibley, city superintendent,
both institutions show Il decided
gain over enrolment at the first
week of the term.
At the present time, the high
school enrolment stands at 357,
as compared with 312 at the end of
the first week, and about $50 at
this time last year. Prof. House
states that the present figure is
the largest ever on record for the
local high, and represents the high
est point, after several years of
steady growth. The Junior Col
lege has climbed from beginning
of 80 to total of so at present.
The enrolment in the grammar
schools of this city on October 9
of this year was 1017, nearly 100
more than the initial registration.
The largest number of students ever
attending the grade schools of this
city was during the year 1920, ac-
eording to Mr., Shibley. In that
wear the enrolment on October 10
was 1924. AS new pupils are still
coming in daily, it is probable that
last week IS figure has been mater
tally raised and that the attend
ance is now equal or slightly above
that of other years. Mr.. Shibley
states that the high point in the
years attendance is to be expect
ed after the holidays.
