HEREFORD DEFEATS
(MMRMAL
la the First Football Game of the
Sec ton Qereford Has Easy
Picking.
HEREFORD, TEXAS, OCTOBER 13. 1911
♦
The first football game of the sea-
son was pulled off at Toxela Park
Monday when Hereford trimmed the
West Texas Normal team 8 to 0.
It was the first game for both teams,
so there was no way of getting a
line on either team. When the teams
went on the field it was seen that the
Canyon team was the heavier, and
judging from the way that they ran
signals it looked as if the locals had
"knore than a job on their hands.
Hereford won the toss and chose
to defend the south goal and Canyon
chose to kick. From the first down
it was seen that Hereford was well
up on offensive work and that on the
other hand Canyon was not up to re-
quirements on defensive. Relying
on straight football made up of line
bucks, tackle through tackle and
runs, Hereford succeeded in the first
nine minutes of play to carry the
ball to Canyon's one yard line with
one down to go, without having last
the ball. At this juncture a penalty
for pushing the man with the ball
last the locals five yards making *ix
yards to go in one down. A (Aace
kick signal was called and Estes
scored three points with a kick from
an angle on the twenty yard line.
Canyon kicked the ball and Here-
ford returned fifteen yards. First
quarter up score 3 to 0 with the ball
in Hereford's possession.
In the second quarter the ball
changed hands several times with
the play in Hereford's favor. At no
time during this quarter was Here-
ford's goal in danger while Hereford
had the ball on Canyon's four yard
line where it was last on downs.
In the third quarter after the ball
had changed hands several times,
Hereford forced it to Canyon's fif-
teen yard line. A second place
kick was attempted, but was blocked
after the ball rolled across the goal
line and was covered by Estes and
Elliott, thereby scoring a touchdown.
No goal was kicked. Score 8 to 0.
Quarter ended with ball in Canyon's
possession.
Fourth quarter was a repetition of
the second as no scores were made
and at no time was either goal in
very great danger.
Final score was 8 to 0 in favor of
Hereford.
Referee, Rowan of Canyon; Um-
pire, Thomas of Hereford. Time of
quarters, 10 minutes.
For Canyon, Cowling at center
played the best game of the team,
and is one of the best offensive and
defensive centers that has been seen
on the local gridiron. Canyon's
backs had the speed and her line
plenty of weight, but team work was
not in evidence. The backs would
not follow their interference and on
line Ducks did not go low enough.
The Hereford team had much better
team work and her interference was
good. During the game the forward
pass was tried six times and was
successful onlv once. Estes, Price
and Steiger ulere the spectacular
players for Vocals, but their work
was a las. Burmjure due to the as-

FOR CONTEMPT
Editor Gaston of Wichita Falls
News Given Short Sentence.
Abilene, Tex , Oct. 9 —In the
contest case against H. W Gaston,
editor of the Wichita Daily News,
Judge BUnton of the district court,
today sentenced the defendant to
serve a thirty-minute sentence in jail.
The judge stated that he could
impose a $100 fine and a three days'
sentence, but that he admired the
spirit in which Gaston backed up his
convictions, and for that reason
would not be severe.
Bail in the sum of $.100 was given
and appeal taken by Gaston, who is
charged with contempt of court in
connection with the publication of
matter in connection with the Ales-
ander trial recently.

The Agricultural & Mechanical
Sugar Beet Factory.
Plainview, Texas, Oct. 5th.—
Plainview is being promised a $600,-
000 sugar factory, as the first result
of a test proving that beets grown in
this territory contain 17 per cent
sugar against only 15 per cent in
the far famed Wisconsin products.
An investigation made by an ex-
pert representing the Sugar Beet
Factory at Chippewa Falls, Wis.,
resulted in the discovery that the
possibilities of Plainview beets ex-
ceeded those of Wisconsin, out of
which great manufacturing profits
have been made. He reported his
findings to his employers, and they
have beguR plans for the erection of
a big plant in Plainview. It is be-
lieved the industry is assured and
that the acreage in beets in this dis-
trict will be increased. The expert
reported that Plainview is an ideal
location for a sugar beet factory, as
the soil is suitable, the climate par-
ticularly adaptable and water plenti-
ful.

Some Potatoes.
j The rivalry between the sweet
potato growers around Hereford is
becoming quite keen. O. E. Thomas
' exhibited a half dozen good sue
tubers all from one hill and the lot
weighed exactly 10 pounds. Aroused
by a friendly spirit of rivalry, A. W
I Gregg comes forward with "some
'potatoes and two in a hill." He is
displaying two large potatoes both
from the same hill and both together
weighing ten pounds and about evenly
divided in size and weight, and there
1 were no other potatoes in that hill.
The amount of sweet potatoes
grown around Hereford each year
snould induce the Truck Growers'
Association to find a market for this
! fine and edible tuber. There is no
better food and if the folks who
never did have the pleasure of tasting
yam were given a chance to try their
tooth on them, a market would be
forthcoming.
