SHERMAN, Tex. Oct. 31.-LR-
Trinity University Tigers maintained
their T. /. A. A. standing by defeat
ing the crippled Austin College
Kangaroos, 16 to 0, here Friday af-
ternoon in one of the most spectacular
college games seen on Cashion Field.
The Tigers took their first tally
early in the first quarter on n drop
kicked field goal by Lowe, from the
23-yard line.
The first half of the game went off
with the Tigers showing a slightly bet
ter offensive game than the Kanga-
roos. .r-
The last half was clearly the
Kangaroos'. The Austin College
gridsters came back fighting and
threatened several times to score with
long gains by Nelson and a sensa-
tional passing game.
NELSON STARS.
Nelson, starring for the Kangaroos,
gained on almost every play. Price
also did good work for the Kangaroos,
going down under Keeling's we'll
placed passes.
The Tigers took their first touch
down in the second quarter after a
punting duel between Hill and Lowe.
Hill was hit hard for 25-ysrd loss
when he went back after a poor pass
from center. He was taken out with
the Tigers on the enemy's 1S-yard line.
Line plays took the ball to the one
yard line and Schley bucked it over
Lowe missed dropkick attempt at
goal.
The only other score of the game
came when Lowe went through the
line and raced 20 yards for a touch
down.
TIGER LINE HOLDS.
Twice in the second half the Kanga-
roos went within five yards of the
Tiger goal, once losing the ball on
downs on me vineyard line.
Schley and Ferguson starred for
the Tigers.

ton the ball IS yards from the Brack-
enridge goal in the second quarter. +.
Fisher tried left tackle without much
luck, a pass was grounded, Fisher was
stopped again, another pass failed, and
Breckenridge took the ball on downs.
Why Mr.. Dee was not used in this
crisis is not quite clear.
Friery shortly afterward kicked out
Of danger. Friery had it on Hard

Breckenridge fight and those afore-

the Eagles.
1t was a fast game, with little
time taken out and no serious in

NEW FOO TbALL
LOOP KEEPS
HIGHS bUSY

Even though the formation Of the
South Texas High School Football
League recently caused several strong
teams. including Houston Heights,
Houston Central and Main Avenue
High School, to be dropped from con-
sideration in the state interscholastic
league race, it has had the effect Of
providing a succession Of important
games for San Antonio grid fans.
That was the real purpose of the
new organization. Although several
Of the schools which had representa-
tives at the meeting did not join the
league. they all accepted the opportun-
ity offered to make out complete
schedules against each other.
PLAY ROUND ROBIN.
As a result, the five or six more
prominent schools Of South Texas are
meeting each other almost without ex-
ception. Unlike past seasons when the
strong teams of the section sDent a
good part of their time in polishing
off smaller schools and meeting each
other in only one or two instances.
they are playing a sort Of round
robin" series this year.
An example of the salutary effect Of
this move in football circles is seen in
this weeks local high school football
card. Four Of the most prominent
and powerful elevcns in South Texas
were scheduled at Schwab Field Fri
day and Saturday.
Breckenridge High School and
Houston Heights High, outstanding
contenders for the South Texas cham
pionship. played Friday. Main Ave
nue. High meets the Austin High Ma
rooms Saturday-twO games 20 make
any football fans mouth water.
SWAP OPPONENTS.
Then. the following weekend, to
demonstrate the completeness Of the
schedule. Main will meet Houston
Heights and breckenridge will tangle
with Austin High for the champion
ship Of District Eight Of the Inter
scholastic League.
Both Main Avenue and Bracken'
ridge already have played Houston

Austin lost to Houston Heights last

U.S.F|LESA ANSWER
IN WHEELER CASE
Declares Senator's Plea of
Former AcquittaI Not Bar
TO Prosecution.

Counsel for the United States today
filed demurrer to plea OF former
acquittal recently interposed by Bur
ton X. Wheeler. Senator from Mon
tana. to the Indictment returned
against him for alleged conspiracy to
defraud the United States in connec-
ton with securing oil and gas per
mitS in Montana for Gordon Campbell
through influence with +. :. Booth,
former Assistant Attorney General.
Wheeler claimed that as he was ac-
quilted in Montana he should not be
called on to answer the present
charge, which he claimed was ident-
cal with the one of which he had been
freed by jury in his state.
The Government claims that the plea
is bad in substance and does not
state facts sufficient to constitute Il
bar or defense to the conspiracy m
dictment.
Through United States Attorney
Gordon, l.. T. Stewart, William r.
Ieahy and Eugene Y. Bullet, special
assistants To the Attorney General, the
court is told that the plea Of former
acquital shows ON its face that the
offenSe of which Wheeler was acqult-
ted is different and distinct oHenSe
from the one charged in the CunSplF-
aCy indictments The plea is made
quate. say counsel for the prosecution
in form and contains aIlegations con
Trajectory OF each oother and contain
statements that are conclusions OF law
and contradictory TO the allegations OF
fact contained n the record. The plea
is declared 10 be fatally defective IN
other particulars which will be urged
in the argument on the demurrer,
which is scheduled for November y
before Justice Bailey in Criminal Di-

the feminine public. Increasing
production will mean a more salts
factory price to the public, officials
believed.
Next Fur Sale
The next fur sale will be con-
Quoted at st. Louis, September "a.
A private corporation has a contract
to sell the pelts for the Govern
ment. At this sale 5000 sealskins
will be offered, 1000 black and
i 900 of the new golden chestnut
or chataigne dor hue.
The Pribilof Island herd conl-
prises about ninety per cent OF the
fur-seals in existence. Consequently
the Government maintains virtually
a monopoly on the product. Only
surplus male seal are killed eacn
year, leaving the remaindr Of the
herd to multiply.
With the heavy increase in the
number of animals will come ii
consequent increase in the number
of seals the Government kills. Next
year the catch Is expected to pass
22 900.
Officials said that the blue ana
white fox business is in its in
fancy, and owing to the popularity
of this type of fur for neckpieces,
eventually it will approach the I'm
POI lance Of the fur-seal trade. The
