Coach Alfred Kilgore of the West
Texas Military Academy football team
has one of the severest pains in
town. ~ 10
He discovered, some "a hours be-
fore scheduled starting time, that Main
Avenue High School. did not intend
to play his Cadet eleven on Satur-
day afternoon.
Coach Tim Griesenbeck Of Main
High and Thomas Abbott, head Of
Mains athletic committee, announced
after lengthy conference hastily
called with Kilgore at noon Friday,
that the Saturday game would not
be played, Main Highs squad being
too crippled from the Houston Heights
game of Wednesday in, Houston
FOCUS ON HIGH GAME.
I'VE are not after city Academic
League hOnors," Mr.. Abbott said.
Our whole attentions are focused on
the Thanksgiving Day game with
Breckenridge High and we must put
every regular into that game if we
can. No injury alibis will go that
day. Therefore, Tim has decided he
does not want to play West Texas
until after Thanksgiving. b.
"Mr. Kilgore asked that we forfeit
to him, but we do not want to mar
our record with forfeitures if we can
help il and Tim refused. -.
I'VE have a game scheduled for
next Wednesday with San Antonio
Academy but / think the Academy
will agree to postpone that until after
Thanksgiving, ~ =
NO CHANCE TO CHANGE.
KiIgore objected TO postponing Sat
urday's game vehemently on several
counts but principally because he was
not informed of Mains plans until
too late 70 arrange for another game,
Kilgore's eleven was keyed up for the
game. Besides, the West Texas coach
believes the Thanksgiving Day climax
will kill interest in football here and
be has his own interests to look after,
since he receives percentage of
gate receipts as remuneration for his
todIHAHS at Tic aidulO l1clEulS MA
deny. llH Llf BE- -,-'
He said he was considering asking
the Academic League TO forfeit the
game to his team. which is now lead
ing the league with two victories and
no defeats. He said, however, that
he hated to win games that way!
His Cadets will meet Breckenridge
High next Wednesday, a game both
teams intend TO go through with.
AGREED TO POSTPONE.
KiIgore and Griesenbeck originally
agreed to play last Saturday but
Kilgore agreed, On Griesenbecks sug
gestion, that, if it was raining al
10 80, he was willing to postpone thc
game to this Saturday. Rain fell al
40 80 and the game was postponed
although the weather cleared immed
lately afterward and the Afternoon
was ideal, though the gridirons vert
The matter probably will rest unit
after the misunderstanding 'Thanks
giving Day game If Main wins
West Texas probably will be willin,
to play if Main loses, Kilgore see'
no use in playing.

water OF the English Channel proved COO
much Tor AlSS Lillian HARRISON, - the
young Argentine swimmer, who started
from Cape Grls-Nez early this morning
to swim to the English coast, and alter
s hours 81 minutes, when within five
miles of Dover, she had to be taken from
the water. She was brought back To BOu-
lOgne on The tug Alsace, which accom-
panied her.
1t was al l.3U this afternoon, while re-
ceiving food, that the swimmer stItfened
from the cold, the temperature OF the
water being SO degrees Fahrenheit. Only
the Quickness with which the man who
was feeding her caught hold OF her Jer-
sey saved her from sinking like a stone.
After a brief rest Miss Harrison de-
clared she felt none the worse tor her
experience and said she would try again
in August.
Accompanied by her trainer, l.. w.
Burgess, she started from GriS-Nez Beach
at 4:35 O'Clock this morning. Her classic
graceful stroke remained regular, 70 TO

Game Rooster
Keeps Vigil Over
Drunken Master

Poets and sentimentalists
would have the world believe
that dog is mans most faithful
friend.
Death watches at the grave
and heroic battles for the caress
Of a grateful mans hand have
been the dogs garlands in verse
and prose.
But Thursday night q creature
hitherto unconsidered took the
laurels completely away from
the canine.
He is an unusually large game
rooster.
Perched on the breast Of his
master, who lay drunk and half
submerged in the mud at Ceyal-
los street and the Katy tracks,
he gave a lusty crow as Emer-
gency Officer Anderson and
Mounted Officer Miller stopped
TO pick up the man.
He was at them both with
purs and beak as soon as they
touched the drunken man.
1t was necessary TO catch and
imprison him in the patrol
wagon before the officers could
drag the owner from the mud.
The rooster went to Jail with
his master, but was imprisoned
in the garage while the man was
sent TO n cell.
Throughout the night the cock
crowed as longingly as any dog
might howl.
