WEST TEXAS TAKES
HARD-FOUGKT GAME
FROM ST. ANTHONY
Yellowjackets Hold Grip.
pied But Heavier Cadets
to 1910.

West Texas Military Academy's
crippled football clever defeated the
fighting st. Anthony College Yellow
Jackets, Is TO 0, on st. Anthony's
field Saturda yafternoon in game
which was even more closely con-
tested than indicated By the score.
West Texas made touchdown
within the first minute of play on the
first down Of the st. Anthony team,
which fumbled the ball. Keller, right
end for the academy, scooped it up
and ran twenty .ards to touchdown.
West Texas failed to make extra point.
The second touchdown was made by
Townsend of West Texas after steady
gains down the i:eld with st. An
thongs giving up ground only after
hard fighting. :.
West Texas was crippled through
the absence of several first string men
from til, lineup. -.
The beginning of the second half
marked the period of the hardest fight
ing in the game. The ball changed
hands several times near the Yellow
Jackets goal-line before West Texas
finally pushed it over for a touch
down.
The Yellow Jackets showed up par.
ticularly well with shift play off
tackle which rarely failed to gain.
Fox. Yellow Jacket end. played n
good game in the line with several
good tackles. Kaler was the best
ground-gainer for st. Anthony's with
Right Half Powers coming in for a
share of the territory taken from the
Academy.
Right End Keller for the Academy
played, hard ta"kling game. Town
send was nearly the whole of the West
Texas power in the backfield with
Smith and Bilhartz doing some good
work occasionally. Vaughn at center
was : little erratic in passing the ball
back and caused some fumbles thGt
might have proved costly.

Montgomery, Ala. Jan. Is


From justice of the peace to gov.
ernor of Alabama. This is the terse
political history of w. w. Brandon,
who took the oath of office as chief
executive of this state at noon Mon
day. And this history was written
in 81 years.
In 1892 William Woodward Bran
don was appointed a Justice of the
peace in Tuscaloosa county. In 1928
he was inaugurated governor of Ala
bama. The lowly office of justice
entered Governor Brandon's name
into the history OF the states poll
tics. 1t was during his work for a
law license at the University of Ala
bama that he received his first po-
litical honor. During the same year
he won the right to practice in the
courts of the state. He began the
practice at Tuscaloosa during the
same year.
Surrendering the position of Justice
of the peace, Governor Brandon was
elected city clerk of Tuscaloosa,
position he held for three terms. His
next step in politics was taken in
1896 when he was elected member
of the house of representatives from
Tuscaloosa county He was reelected
in 1897 and 1898, serving three terms.
About this time he began his service
for the democratic party by member
ship in the state democratic execu-
tive committee for two years.
In February, 1899. he was APP
pointed adjutant general of the Ala
bama national guard by Governor
Johnston. He made such a success in
the reorganization of the militia at
the close of the Spanish American
war he was reappointed by Governor
Sanford in February. 1901. He held
/ this office until 1907.
He was elected state auditor in
1906 and served in this capacity un-
til 1911. In 1910 his home people of
Tuscaloosa county selected him as
their probate judge for a term of six
years.N He was given the same po-
sition again and Tuscaloosa people
say he could have held it during his
life.
In 1918 Judge Brandon was a can
opponents were Gov. Thomas E.
Kilby, Charles b. Teasley, John Fl.
Wallace, Jr, and John Purifoy. He
ran second in this contest. losing the
democratic nomination to Governor
Kilby by about 5000 votes.
His Choice Apparent
The moment it was apparent that
the nomination had gone to another
Judge Brandon issued a statement in
which he said he would be a candi-

great mercy vouchsafe. we beseech
! Thee, SO to direct, sanctify and gov
ern them in their work, that the
laws which they may enact may be
after the pattern of Thy law; and
that. the principles of eternal right
shallh govern both our state and our
country.
Grant that the course of this
world may be so peacefully ordered
by Thy governance that Thy people
may Joyfully serve Thee in all Cody
quietness; that we. may walk in the
way of truth and peace, and at last
be numbered with Thy saints i'm glory
everlasting. These and all other
things which Thou seest we need, we
ask in the Name and for the sake of
Thy Blessed Son, our Savior. Jesus
