CIV. Gets Arkansas Off Guard
Razorbacks, Thinking More of Tulsa Battle,

Longhorns and Aggies, cannot af-
feet the title scramble, as both are
out Of the running.
Arkansas was disappointed be-
cause the Razorbacks were held to
a scoreless tie at Little Rock by
George Washington. This ended
for the Razorbacks streak Of 80
consecutive games in which they
had scored The last time they had
been BANKED. prior to Saturday,
was in their game with Rice In
stitute in 1884, the year the Owls
won their first, and to date, only

Chilling temperature and a Slip

aerial attack that had produced an
average of 1894 points in eight
previous games this season. But
overconfidence and the focusing OF
too much attention on an expected
terrific battle with Tulsa's Hurri-
cane Thanksgiving Day also were
contributing factors.

BY JAMES PHELAN,

University OF Washington Coach.
SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 23.-
When $4,000 Californians will
sit through a irst-half downpour,
1t proves oonclusively the bigness
and importance Of the Stanford
California big game" which
started back in 1892.
Holding California on even terms
for the first quarter, 1t looked last
Saturday as if Stanford might have
chance. Two slashing thrusts in
the second quarter put the game
on ice, however, and made the Sc
lection Of California to play in the
Rose Bowl matter OF routine.
Sam Chapman of California was
the outstanding back of the day.
His kicking average of As yards
with wet ball was a feat for the
football history books. He is the
greatest back in the West.

Dupre Verdict BOoed.

A GALLERY of approximately 1000
customers booed Justify for the
second time in as many weeks last
night at Turner's Arena when officials
awarded Tony Dupre. New Hampshire
featherweight, a decision over Armando
Stella, Chicago Italian, in one of
three eight-rounders.
The voting for Dupre oddly was
unanimous, but what stirred Boxing
Commission officials was the wide diff
ference of opinion expressed by the
Judges in the final fight involving Baby
Manuel and Ray Ingram, who also
swung for eight rounds.
Judge Charley Dunn, who has been
noted for his competence in scoring
fights, disagreed by wide margin in
that bout with the opinions Of Referee
Denny Hughes and Judge Dr. Bob Ell

the fight to Manuel by 10 points. Dunn
favored Ingram by a gap of points.
nUPRE, undoubtably smooth
fighter in condition, lacked timing
and although landing occasionally
with authority, generally was out

WIND IS PESK|EST

Pointing to Scores.
BY w. K. McCALLUM.

TINE biggest hazard in golf Of any
kind from the 9O-shooters
down to the par busters is
4 wind. A high wind cuts down
distance, carries the ball all over the
lot, and shoots scores sky-high. It's
the one big hazard in the game, ac-
cording to Horton Smith, more to be
dreaded than rain. Cold weather
doesn't affect the game a great deal
among the loW-scoring gents, but wind
is the one stooge they can't laugh off.
Take the recent Mid-South tourney
at Pinehurst, as an example, and the
pro-pro affair in particular. Harry
Cooper and Lawson Little, playing on
a good day for golf knocked the ball
around with a better-ball score OF

Explains British Open Scores.

THE next day they shot up to 70,
in high wind Where there
were % combinations under 10 on the
comparatively calm first day of the
tourney, very few of them broke 10 on
the windy second day. And among
them were the finest shot makers of
the land, barring only three or four
who didn't get to Pinehurst.
The first day of the individual tour
ney was a fine day for golf. Three
men scored 70 and half a dozen were
par or better. On the second day the
wind came up and par remained invio-
late. That's the reason, said Smith,
that the scoring in the British open
championship is so high, and why
the winning score in the United States
open title tourney usually is so far
below the top score in the British open.

With 100000 More

WEDNESDAYS SALE
is MIDWEEK RECORD
All Grades and Every Sale
Included in Statistics;
Many Kind Expressions
Have Come from Farmers
Who Have Sold on Hend-
erson Market So Far
BY II. w. MCFARLAND,
Henderson Sales SunerViSOr.

BY the time this paper goes to press
the Henderson tobacco market will
have sold, during its 16 selling days
this season., approximately 100000
pounds of tobacco. This will be around
10 percent more than it sold last year
for the same time, and the best part
of it is that it has paid out to the
farmers 100000 more than it paid last
season for the same time.
During Henderson's glorious history
of nearly three score years as to-
bacco market, yesterdays sale of 549,-
SIP pounds was greater than on any
previous Wednesday of the past years.
For farmers as a rule in every belt in
the past seem to have brought more
tobacco to the markets on Mondays
and Fridays than on any other day.
While the average CT yesterday
which was $27.13, was not as great as
the average of Monday, which was
$3O95, yet this average was due en-
tirely to quality, as grade by grade
prices were just as high as on Mon
day.
Official sales for the season, as IS
sued last night by the statistician OF
the market, were O,OSf,VuO POuIiua
which sold for $1,524, $1,000, making an
average for the whole of $28.27.
In the poundage constituting this
average, no grade was eliminated.
Henderson's way of doing business,
in Justice to the farmers, is to count
every leaf sold regardless of what it.
brought. Without throwing any re-
Election upon any other market, it is
very questionable whether this rule is
followed on all of them.
From the farmers who have been
selling on this outstanding market
this season many kind expressions
have come, not only as to the cour-
tesy and efficiency of the entire ware
house and buying force, but the eff
forts to serve them in kind and
businesslike manner by the banks and
all of the merchants of Henderson.
Monday, Tuesday, and wednesday
sales were 1885, 42 pounds, sold for
S4OO, 41O17, an average for the whole
of $29.12.
