Feature of Divisions
Defeat.

All the nice things that were ssfd
this fall about the football team Bar
~ Holton has given Trinity Universf
ity, OF Waxahachie, Texas, In his
first year as coach there, evidently
were deserved.
The Trinity Tigers, despite the al.
sence from the lineup Of Quarterback
Lowe. End Elms and Tackle Allen,
Saturday afternoon gave an exhibition
of the grand old college game in thu
Fort Sam Houston stadium, that was
as clean-cut and thorough as could
be desired anywhere, and, in so do
ing, pitched a large and powerful
Second Army Division team on its
collective back for its first defeat of
the season.
The score was convincing-H TO 3.
While it was fresh, the Division
team matched the 4. I. A. A. boys
play for play on offense and defense
and the score in the middle Of the
third quarter was tie, 3-3.
IRRITATES WHITAKER.
But that army field goal by Pete
Heffner that neutralized the boot OF
General" Whitaker of Trinity in the
first quarter seemed to get under the
Generals" hide.
The teams lined up hastily for the
kickoff, the Division dispatched a
long kick almost to the Trinity goal.
General Whitaker let the ball set
tie comfortably in his arms and then
pointed his nose--or rather the funny
nose-guard he wore attached to his
helmet-for the Division goal and
scampered right down the middle Of
the field, through everybody and every
thing for % yards and the first touch
down of the struggle. The soldiers
were never the same after that. Whit.
aker place-kicked goal TO top il Oft
and make the score 1913.
