MASON BEATEN
SECOND TIME
! BY JACKETS

SO far as the Mason Mavericks are
concerned, the Grayjackets are the
independent football champions Of the
world. For tie second time this
season the big Gray eleven has
stampeded the Mavericks. handing
them a 10-to-0 licking at Schwab
Field Sunday afternoon.
In an early-season encounter the
Grayjackets defeated Mason, IL TO
o, at Mason, the first time the trick
had been turned in three years. Sun
day they simply proved it wasn't an
accident.
The Grayjackets, only slightly ham
pered by the muddy field, started
scoring early in Sundays tilt.
Schweitzer intercepted Mason pass
in the opening minutes of play and
raced 40 yards to a touchdown.
FRY GETS LOOSE.
Their second touchdown came in
the third quarter, when Bert Fry
broke through the line for a pretty
15-yard run across the goal. A long
pass to Whitman over the line ac-
counted for the third marker.
Mason made its only serious scor-
ing threat in the second quarter after
one of the visiting players had recov-
cred a tumble on the Vineyard line.
After getting no results in three tries
at the line, a pass over the goal-line
was incomplete.
The Grayjackets were threatening
to score MS the final whistle blew.
BULLDOGS AGAIN.
Next Sunday the Jackets will de-
fend their "city title against DOC"

A VICTIM
St. Johns Keeps Game in
Doubt Until Closing
Minutes.

The Second Division soccer eleven
definitely established itself as the out
standing team in San Antonio Sun
day by defeating st. Johns Semi
nary, 3 to 2, on the slippery Fort Sam
Houston Stadium field. The week

Sundays battle. despite the muddy
condition Of the field, was one OF the
best exhibitions of soccer seen In San
Antonio since the game was inaugu-
rated in earnest several months ago.
The members of both teams were in
fine condition. and the teamwork dis
played through portions Of the game
indicated that both eievens had spent
much time in practice.
ST. JOHNS OPENS 1T.
st. Johns got AWAY to lead early
when Ordner put n near shot by tho
Army soalie. Following this, the two
teams milled desperately for several
minutes. neither able to penetrate the
strong defense Of the other.

handed, or rather single-footed. drew
the ST. Johns goalie to one side, and
then shot the ball over to Lavery, who
sent it through. Fox scored again
for the Army eleven just before the
half.
SCORE TIED AGAIN.
The last two goals were the result
Of penalty shots. st. Johns again
tied the score when free shot was
completed. but Courtney sent through

very difficult field, and yet,
among the vast army of film

turns to the variety stage with
a light heart because to her

1t is not very many years ago
that Gus Edwards produced a

the young ladies who appeared
in that act, there were two who
won success. The first was Eli
nor Mansfield, ~no later became
Mrs. Thomas Fl. Ince, and the
other was Lillian Walker, who,
not long after that. became the
famous "Dimples" of movie promi-

all of the Ziegfeld chorus girls

Sam Harrison, manager of the

Eddie Cantor, the horse, ran

Mr.. Harrison was asked why he
was so confident the horse
would lose, he replied:
"In twenty-five years of the

that whenever a horse named
