team Into camp Wednesday for a.
7 to 0 defeat. It was a fast und In-
teresting game tho. boys displaying
much pep and ability.
The tackling of Harris Woolen
and Vernon Jewel was among the
features. A drop kick after touch-
down by William Bird was anoth-
er outstanding stunt. J. B. Oliver's
long end runs with a flock of the
opposing players swinging to him
also featured.
Following were the line-ups.

Won First Game
of Basketball
The foot Wall feature of tho cel-
ebration of Atmlstlco Day will be
tho fjame at the Too Pee Park at
1 p. m. Monday November 12th
between tho Abilene Christian Col-
lege Wildcats nnd tho Wayland
Collcgo Jackrabblts from Plain-
view. These teams have met once
this season the Wildcats having
been tho victors by the score of IS
to G. Tho first gamo was played
In a sea of mud and amid a down
pour of cold rain and neither team
received a fair test. Coach Cau-
dell has a wealth of malnrlsJ nml
although some of his men have
ueon slow In rounding Into shape
tho eleven has been nlavlnir a
much better brand of football of
late. The Clarendon Collpce Bull
dogs were nblo to nos them out
only by tho score of 6 to 0 and it
was all that the Wildcats could do
to defeat the Bulldogs by tho mea
ger margin of tiireo points.
Payne's cloven has been work-
ing hard since the field has been
dry enough for practice. At Wed-
nesday's workout tho Coach in-
formed the mon that he hnd been
easy on them throughout the sen-
son but thai hn meant lo really
put uiem through until the end of
tho Season.
Although undofeated tho Wild-
cats aro by no means suro of fin-
ishing tho season ih that condi
tion and tho utmost caro Is bolngl
laKcn io prevent tno Jackrabblts
irom slipping ono by the Chris
tians it must be romembered
that tho Wayland tram is tho only
team that has scored on Payne's
elevon this season. This touch-
down was made by moans of a
triok play nnd Coach Cnudell has
plenty moro of thorn in his bag.
Ono or two of tho stars of the
Christian team may be put of tho
gamo Mondny duo to spholastic
difficulties which must bo removed
before they nro allowed to repre-
sent tho collcgo.
Tho fans of the city Who have
ucon waiting lor tlio onnortunltv of
seeing Payne's flclltlntr C.ntn In nr.
tlon will bo amply satisfied It thoy
attend tho Armistice Day celebra
tion game which will bo tho onlv
ono piaycd In tho city on that dav.
Tho team may havo slipped back
since its defeat" of tho ClarondiM
Bulldogs but thcro aro npno who
nro in closo touch with events
around Wildcat Park each after-
noon who think so. Payne seems
to havo ono of tho strongest ag-
gregations jn all West Texas th's
season.

Strawn Eleven
And Cleburne
To Play Monday
Football fans of this section are
manifesting much Interest In the
gamo which is to he played next
Monday starting at 2 p. m. al
Strawn between tho dleburno high
school and the Strawn high 'school.
The game will decide the cham-
pionship of tho southern half of
Section 4 of the University Inter
scholastic League nnd the winner
has n good chance to go Into the
State contest
The record of Strawn high for
this seasort has been tho outstand
ing feature so far. Tho team first
attracted state-wide attention When
tt defeated ihe sir 6tig FoTt WTJrth
Central high team nnd sinCo then
has been undefeated Tho Strawn
Greyhounds' nro determined to
keen the Section 4 title in West .
Texas nnd tho gamo is expected to
draw on of tho largest crowds i
ever to attend a grid contest In
this part of the Slate.
Cleburne will go Into tho con-
test umlofeated by any Texas high
school but with a smashing defeat
rung tip against them by the Steele
high school of Dayton. Ohio last
week. Cleburne will therefore go
Into game Jfonday with her morale
weakened a hit.
nut Strawn need expect no easy
game. Ablleno knows tho kinds
of teams that como from Cleburne.
And Abilene knows that tho Cle-
burne high fights to tho death as
viz the gamo hero last yonr be-
tween Ablleno high nnd Clobunfe
which Coach P. E. Shotwell's Pro-
teges won handily but on after
a great battle. And Ablleno high
has not fftrgotten entirely tho de-
feat handed them by ClebUrno 1"
1921 on Rltomo Field.
Of course. Abllerto fans want the
title to stay In Wost Texns and
Abilene high would also like to get
a chanoo at Strawn since that
team has nprung tho biggest sur-
prise In Intcrscholastic football
circles this year by swooping ev-
erything before It having played
one of the hardest schedules of
any team In the State.
