AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 7.-(Special) That bening and bountiful goddess of football, Lady Luck, smiled on the eight teams of the Southwestern con ference last week, brought them through undefeated, giving an unexpected tri- umph to one and last minute victory to another, and bestowed her blessing upon them for the hard week that is ahead. Saturday will find them all having harder sledding, but attention will focus on two games. Texas A. and M.. de- fends the Lone Star soil against the Tigers of Sewanee at Dallas in what promises to be one of the hottest inter sectional games of the year, and Okla. homa A. and M., fresh from her to 0 victory over Kansas university, be- gins the conference season with the Horned Frogs of Texas Christian uni versity.
 Aggie-Sewanee Clash
 That Texas Aggie-Sewanee game is causing more speculation in the south west than any other one subject in the sport field right TOW. A victory for the Aggies is what all the conference wants, as it would not do at all for one of the southwest's strongest teams tc be dumped by an invader. The Az eies will bring veteran team to the field, handicapped by the absence of their greatest star. They won from the Southwestern Pirates, 54 to Q, last Friday, but the one-sided victory cost them the services of Louis Miller, full back and captain, who was carried out of the game with broken leg.
 The. greatest cause for celebration over the weekend in these parts was Oklahoma Aggies' triumph over Kan sas. That 3 to victory was as wei come as it was unexpected, and the Az gies. hitherto considered out of the race at the start, are being watched warily. They tie up with T. c. U., this week and are doped to win. The Horned Frogs, by rallying in the last l quarter, won their game with Daniel Baker, a small and weak school from | west Texas, 13 to 12, and the narrow | margin seems to justify the early sea son predictions that T. c. U. will gn through another miserable year. They | beat the Aggies last year, however. and Matty Bell may have something up his sleeve to repeat the trick.
 The Razorbacks -Of Arkansas con tinued their majestic march over insig. nificant opposition by beating Spring field Normal, A to 0. They invade Tevas on October IS to play Baylor. and until that time they remain an un- | known quantity. The showing of the Razorbacks last year was such as to make them respected, and the tilt with Baylor will be eagerly watched by T. c. U., Oklahoma A. and M., and s. M. U., who play them later in the season.
 J Though they played brand of foot ball which caused their followers to tear their hats in despair, the Univer- sity of Texas Longhorns, tucked through to another 2 to 0 victory, the victim this time being the Phillips Haymakers The Longhorns, playing team so weak that it could furnish no consistent op- position at all, looked like 2 squad of schoolboys. They have another week of grace and another set-up game, How. ard Payne being on tap for this week Then begins the grind, for on October IS, they play S. M. U., conference cham pions. and on October 25 they meet

.CRIMSONS WORK
 FOR CHOCTAWS
Wade Pleased With Work Of Team Against
 Furman

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Oct. L--lSpe- will meet much stronger foe Saturday than furman was this past Saturday, according to dope reaching the Capstone.
 The Choctaws are sending one of the strongest teams of years here Saturday to battle the Crimsons. team bulit around the speedy Cy Parks and the powerful Jones. These two backs trou- bled Tulane Saturday and will trouDie Alabama this coming Saturday.
 Cabstoners say it is true that Tulane walloped the Choctaws but they point to tbe first period when the Mississip- pians scored a touchdown in the first few minutes of play and held thelr iead the rest of the period.
 Harder To Beat'
 .sThey'll be harder to beat than Furman was," Coach Russ Cohen vol unteered Monday morning, when re- view of all the games played Saturday was being made at the gymnasium;
 The Crimsons returned from their South Carolina jaunt in the best or con lition. Bruises, skinned places and otber slight ailments featured the com plaints of the youngsters as' they par ticipated in a slight workout Mond9s afternoon. Harder work, as soon as their fatigue of the all-day ride Sunday is over. was the plan of the Crimson mentors.
 Alabama's team showed some improve mont in the Furman game over the work of tbe nreyious weekend against Union, but the team has not yet developed the offense and defense that will carry them to a southern championship this year if they reach such point.
 The games to come wilt test the Tides men to their greatest. With the Cnoc- tawS this Saturday, and Sewanee tne following Saturday in Birmingham, the Crimsons should be at their highest sneed for the annual setto in the Cracker Citv against Georgia Tech. From the Sewanee game on, the Crimsons must keen at top sepeed for games with Ole Miss, Centre and Georgia.
 Coach Wade expressed himself as be- ing well pleased with the work of the Crimsons against Furman. He said the work of the men on the Hanks was sat isfactory, but stressed the football knowledge of the men on the field. The action of the Crimsons in calling at- tention to the rules showed to what ex- tent the Crimsons are paying attention to the rules.
 The team had barely arrived Sunday evening when a mud-splattered cutdown anchored in town. Very few students undertook the trip to Furman. Those staying, however, attended the matinee at Denny field and cheered for their eleven away from home.
 The workout this afternoon consisted chiefly of signal running, bunting and pa ssing and a review of the faults noticed this past Saturday.

BROWNIES AND
 TIGERS CLASH Bessemer Vs. Jones Val ley Will Be Prep.
 Feature

Bessemer and Jones Valley will stage the headline attraction of the prep school gridiron menu for the coming weekend, when these two rivals clash in the new athletic stadium at Bessemer Friday afternoon.
 It will be one of the big prep battles of the season, and probably the most headed argument will result of the prep slate thus far. The Tigers and Brownies are gereat rivals, being situ- ated not so very far apart and having followers who are even closer together Added to this and the fact that both have been represented by strong com binations in the last few grid campaigns. The Jones Valley Brownies journey down to Bessemer and pulled very un- expected stunt and incidentally consid- erably hurt the pride of the Tiger outfit last year by efeating Bessemer z to 6. Therein lies chiefly the reason for the all the enthusiasm being stirred up by the coming battle Friday, and furious conflict will undoubtedly rage.
 A Bessemer Year
 Bessemer has the strongest array of grid talent in years, according to the present dope, and that means lit. The Tigers have always played an important role in prep school football in the state. and this year seems to be n Besseper season. Red Harris has gathered to- gether formidable machine, composed chiefly of talent from last years eleven, and they look like they are going to be hard to stop.
 Doc Newton, at Jones Valley, has similar situation. Doc has the big ma jority of his letter winners of a season back with him again this year, with added strength from scrubs and a vete- ran two years ago. The Brownies were mighty good combination last year, and should have a combination which will be among the t0p-notchers this season. . The valley can are ex- ceedingly anxious to duplicate their feat of last season and added another Tiger pelt to their list of victories.
 Bessemer ran wild over Alliance last ,Friday, while Jones Valley had harder the Gamecocks 19 to 6 after a hard battle.
 Several Changes
 Several changes may be made in the Jones Valley lineup when they face Bes- semer. Hardy, playing left tackle, may be shifted to guard, while Doran. Ak ridge or some other line performer may be placed at the tackle berth. This position seems to be the lone place in the combine which is worrying Newton at present, as the right side of the for ward wall, composed of Wood at guard, Allgood at tackle and Brill at the wing, is holding up in fine style. Wood is expected to go good at guard, while All good is one of the best tackles in prep circles Skews will be at the other end while the backfield will be composed of Martz, Edney, Fox and Gardner. There are several scrubs showing well, and may get their chance against the Tigers Friday afternoon.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Oct. 7.-In for the intersectional bat tie at Indianapolis Saturday with the Louisiana Tigers, Coach Ingram sent his Crimson first team today through one of the hardest scrimmage sessions of the season. The first and second teams opposed the varsity, using black board signals. Following were the freshmen with variety of Louisiana plays which gained little ground against the Indiana defense.

Why America Must Have More Paved
  Hi g1sways

Almost every section of the United States is confronted by a traffic problem Month by month this problem is be- coming more and more serious. Hundreds of cars pass given point every hour on many of our state and county roads Downtown city streets are iammed with traffic.
 Think, too, how narrow many of our roads are. and how comp ratively few paved highways there are in propor- ton to the steadily increasing number of cars.
 If the motor vehicle is to continue giving the economic service of which it is capable. we must have more Con- crete highways and widen those near large centers of population.
 Every citizen should discuss highway needs of his community with his local authorities
 Your highway officials will do their part if given your support.
 Why postpone meeting this pressing need?

intendent Wadsworth and he asked
the Indians after it was read to
take a vote on it either by stand.
irg up or raising the hand. 1t was
decided to take a standing vote
and the result was it failed to get
single vote in its favor. Then
he got up and made an extended
speech which failed to make any
impression on his hearers. Then
DR.. Wooster got up again and
made an extendeds speech on the
Act which also failed to make an
impression. A number of Indians
got up and made speeches but not
pertaining to the Act of May %,
1908, and it looked to me like they
were only fillibustering, stating
among other thing that the Gov.
ernment had failed to fulfill its
promises as set forth in the Treaty
1889. The council then adjourned
to meet at 8 P. M.
After supper I was walking on
the street among the Indians and
came upon a group with Indian
Agent Wadsworth in the center
talking to them on the Act of May
%, 1908, and l listened and formed
my opinion that he was trying to
influence the Indians on this Ger
tain Act. l stepped up to him and
asked him if there could be some
amendment to this Act. He an
swered, No. Mr.. Wadsworth, |
said, You realize that the Act reads
that the Indians receive $1.25 per
acre for agricultural lands and
So 90 per thousand for pine. Now
this Act is IA years old, and feel
at the present time that this prop.
erty has become more valua BILE and
that it would be an injustice to the
Indians to ratify the Act in it's
present form. Then the Agent
