Somerset High School defeated the
Alamo Heights High School. II TO o.

of the season for both teams.
Somerset relied on old plays. win

off-tackle slices. Both teams were
fairly heavy for their class and showed
good teamwork for this early in the
season.
Alamo Heights played practically
the same brand of football as the
Somerset eleven with the exception
that they used the pass. Two passes
were completed but the team was un-
able to score during the game. They

Although insect activities have in
creased, the crop shows general i'm.
provement over the August report, 1t
is said.
Bolls have filled out better sincs

ESTIMATE TOO BIG.
Government Cotton Figures Will Not

? New Orleans, La, Oct. 4.-There
are hopes everywhere throughout the
South that government cotton crop es-
innate of a yield of over IL 100000
bales will materialize, but there is very
little expectation that it Will be-
cause the crop in the northern section
of the belt is so late that production
of any consequence is dependent on

The fact that the report Showed
losses of 4 to II points in condition
in all the principal cotton states ex-

slight increases in those two, is gen.

New York, Oct. A psychologist,
not a statistical dopester, is what We
need to PICK the winner of this on
rushing world series.
The DOPE" always unsatisfactory
enough in prognosticating n world Sc
ries, means perhaps less this year
than it has ever meant before. The
Yankees and Giants are meeting for
the third time with pretty much the
same players. On paper the actual per-
fCrmances Of the two clubs have
varied but little in the aggregate. The
big factor in the coming struggle is
state of mind-that and physical con
dition.
So far as state of mind is con.
cerned. you can take it for granted
right now that the Giants will walk
on the field with their backs arched.
They came from behind in their first
series against the Yanks and beat
them out. Last year they got the Hug
gins clan by the throat and never let
go. They have very stronghold

which they had come from behind to
tie the score, these observers think he
gave the Yanks an "inferiority COM
pick" stifled their ambition and put
the clamps on them.
Now the Ianks may be surer OF
themselves than they were last year
and the year befo,c, because they ar,
confident that they are better ball
team than the Giants. But the Giants.
