NOT LIKE TEXANS

THERE is one thing better than a good
winner-a good loser Governor Ross
Stirling of Texas might do well to re-
member that.
The governor was beaten for reelec
tion by Mrs Miriam (Ma) Ferguson
who will succeed him in office this week
According to newspaper reports from
Austin, Governor Stirling plans to re-
sign his office tomorrow so as not to be
present when Mrs. Ferguson is installed
in office
This is certainly not in keeping with
the traditions of Texas. 1t is a large
state and does everything is large way
There is nothing small about the state
or its people, but the governor is taking
very small attitude in sighting Mrs.
Ferguson in this manner.
Many persons have poor opinion of
Mrs. Ferguson as a governor, but not
withstanding this, the majority of the
people of the state of Texas voted to
place her in office In sighting her by
stepping out of office so that he will
not have to relinquish the reins of auth
ority to her, Governor Stirling is slight
ing his own state.
Texans are hard fighters and good los
erS. apparently Governor Stirring does
not measure up to the Texas standard.
If he wishes to remain active in politics.
he should reconsider his action, play the
part of good sport and exhibit the
courtesy Texas gentlemen and gentle
men of any other place, accord lady
Even Texans who voted for him are
likely to remember his action if he again
comes before them seeking public office
The dignity of such high office as
governor of great state, is not en-
hanced by such a small boy act as Gov
ernor Stirling contemplates.

TAMPICO, Sept. % dN.S0.
When the hurricane hit Tampico
Sunday night, 1 was trapped in
the Imperial Hotel with approxi-
mately 200 persons.
AS the velocity of the wind in
creased to an estimated ITO miles
an hour, pieces of houses, signs
and glass rained on the hotel,
breaking windows and causing the
entire building to sway.
Soon entire houses were lifted
from their foundations and hurled
to destruction, carrying many VIC
Tins with them.
A flying section of metallic roof
came hurtling through the air and
completely decapitated an expect
ant father who was hurrying to
get a doctor for his wife.
A few hours later, at the height
of the storm, a child was born to
the widow.
A torrential rain caused floods
in all parts Of the city. Many

The hurricane ceased almost
as suddenly as it came upon us,
and with the coming Of daylight
we looked out on a mere skeleton
of what was once a city. Thou
sands were left without homes
or shelter, and the city was with
out electric or water service and
its sanitary system was badly
impaired.

Thousands of refugees are
being housed in theaters, public

News Service)

TAMP1CO, Sept. % G.N.S0.
Shortage of food became acute in
Tampico today as relief workers
Bkgove to restore order in this
once-rich oil port, ravaged and
laid waste by a hurricane.
Exploration of the inundated
sections continued and the num-
ber of bodies of victims discovered
Increased. Estimates Of the dead
varied from 800 to more than
300, while the toll of injured was
estimated at about 5000.
Four More LOOters Shot
Strict martial law remained in
force. Four more looters fell be-
fore firing squads, bringing the
number of persons thus executed
to ten.
One conservative" estimate
listed the damage done to Tam
pico at more than $4,000, 900.
AS far as can be ascertained, no
foreigners were killed by the
hurricane or the floods that fol-
lowed.
AS a result of cooperation of
military authorities, lighting has
been restored in part of the city,
but sanitary conditions are dan
Eerous.
The flooded area is increasing,
carrying threat Of further loss
of life, suffering and damage.
Ehe port is still kept closed by
authorities, who have been unable
to determine the depth of the
river.
Many Piers Destroyed
Raging currents destroyed sew
eral piers, which will add to the
difficulties of bringing supplies
to the stricken city. Many ships
broke from their moorings. Air
planes can land only at one point,
on Camper Hill, and this entails
great risk.
Properties of oil companies suf-
fered incalculable damage. At
the Hausteca company plant at
Mata Redonda, II huge petro-
geum tanks almost disappeared.
It is feared that many vessels,
surprised at sea by the storm,
went down with all hands.

Albert Allen Is
No. | In BohanOn' S
Tennis Rankings
By Leo Bohanon

Naming the first 40" in any sport
is a dangerous business. The Eek
pert" who takes it upon himself to
do so finds himself the author of a
thankless bit of effort. Nevertheless,
I shall give you my first 40" in Twin
City tennis.
BASIS OF SELECTIONS
It must be kept in mind that we
are basing our selection on the show
ings of the players in the st. Paul
and Phyllis Wheatley tennis tourna-
ments although in the case OF two
that did not enter, we are rating
them because Of their past perfor-
mances. These two players un-
doubtedly would have ranked higher
if they had played in any tourna-
mcnt this year.
ALBERT ALLEN is NO. l
Albert Allen, the young st. Paul
tennis veteran, is the 1888 Tennis
King, and / rank him ahead of Bill
Penn for the No. position. True, Penn
defeated him in the st. Paul tourna-
ment, but since then Allen has inn
proved steadily. When he met Penn
in the finals of the Wheatley meet
a month later he wasn't the same
player. He proved this by crushing
Penn in FIVE gruelling sets to take
the trophy. Penn, without question:
of course, rates the No. 2 position.
Otis Woodland, that cagey "old''
all-around sport star who plays foot
ball, baseball, basketball and golf as
well as tennis, is my choice for No.
8 position. "Oti" no doubt would
rank higher if he could ever make up
his mind what sport he was going to
stick to, choose tennis, and then drop

Shocks Community
News of Mr.. Dillinghan1's tragic

Telephone Company.
During the Minnesota Fair he had
been employed on the fair grounds
and years ago was employed at the

RACE LAD SAVES DAY FOR
INDIANA
BY "SPECKS'

Last Saturdays football game be-
tween Minnesota and Indiana which
ended in a 6 to 6 tie placed us in a
dilemma. Trying to be loyal rooter
for Minnesota with two brown
skinned youths on the opposing
Indiana team was difficult All after
noon we were torn between conflict
ing loyalties. We wanted to see Min
nesota win on one hand and on the
other hand we wanted to see each Of
the two Indiana colored lads, Jess
Babb and Fitzhugh Lyons make a
spe acul ar play. We were
not alone in hoping and expecting
something out Of the two sepia
Hoosiers. Most of the crowd seemed
to expect the unusual from them:
Our Negro boys are so scarce on Big
Ten Football elevens that spectators
usually expect them to star. Usually
they have to play their positions just
a little better than the paleface boys
to stay on the regular teams.
BABB COULDN'T GET AWAY
Every time the ball was passed to
Jess Babb, the 161 pound back, the
newspapermen in the press box
would exclain, "There he goes" They
all seemed to think the elusive run
ming back would get away but usual
ly he was stopped by the alert
Gophers.
LYONS THE STAR OF THE DAY
It remained for Lyons, the tall
lanky end, to make US rather proud
of our sepia complexion. All through
the game we kept our spectacles
glued on this boy. We watched his
stellar play and realized that if his
ancestors had emigrated from some
other continent other than Africa the
sport scribes would right now be call
ing him All-American timber. Lyons
played stellar heady game, both on
the defense and offense. AS George
Barton, sports editor of the Mime
apolis Tribune, wrote, "Lyons spent

backfeld. Time and time again he
broke through the Minnesota for
wards to tackle the backs for losses"
To cap the climax, with Minnesota
consistently outplaying the Hoosiers,
leading them to with not over II
minutes left to play, Lyons, real
ball hawk, grabbed Tengler's tumble
and raced 60 yards for touchdown.
Your correspondent was hot and cold.
We were happy because Indiana's
black end had proved the hero of
the day and sad because his 60 yard
run was equal to a defeat for the
home team. The Gophers actually
deserved to win after playing such a
fine game all afternoon.
HARPOLE WENT IN
Our local boy, Ellsworth Harpole,
reserve guard, was sent in the game
near the close Of the contest. From
the rather selfish racial viewpoint,
there was a gratifying amount of
"color" on the stadium field last
Saturday.
BOYS ARE MODEST
A chat with Jess Babb and Fitz-
hugh Lyons in the dressing room at
the "U'' stadium after the game was
pleasantly revealing of the unassum-
ing, modest manner in which
these two youths regard their foot
ball progress. Both of the youths
hail from indianapolis. Both played
football on the same high school
elevens. This is their third and last
year of college competition. When
they were awarded their football let
ters by Indiana three years ago they
were the first Negro youths so hon.
ored since 1898. Babb said there were
two colored boys on the Indiana
Freshman squad.
