LONE STAR ELEVEN HAILED AS UNBEATABLE TEAM
Texans Crush Picked
Eastern Team, 69 to 0
infantrymen of Lone Star State Sweep New
Yorkers Off Feet at Start and Pile Up Score
by Brilliant Football Throughout.
TH.. discovery 3y Old Father Knickerbocker last November that west of
the Alleghanies there existed sufficient votes to elect a President ■
over the head of the Empire State yesterday was followed by another dis- I
covery—one to the effect that Texas has the greatest football -.earn abroad
in the land. When the Second Texas Infantry crushed the First New York
Cavalry, 69 to 0, there went dow n in defeat an eleven recruited from the
elite of Eastern footballdom—men whose names are household words !
w herever football is talked. And the team that did the trick left nothing to
the imagination. For once extending themselves, the Texans swept around,
through.and over the gallant New Yorkers for ten touchdowns ana nine i
goals from touchdown. They beat the Cavalrymen at e'ery turn, defensive-
ly and offensively, in open football and in the straightest of the smashing, ;
driving game. Every backfield man and each of the ends aided in piling up
the points, which were acquired on direct line plunges, swinging end runs |
and forward passes. Even as the genuine old gunman of the Southwest i
beat all comers to ths "draw," so Texas yesterday beat New York to it at
every turn of the game. When the last whistle bltew all the Gothamites had
left was their reputation for gameness of the finest sort in the face of a
gridiron avalanche.
THE NEW YORK SQUAD AND SOME OFFICERS
Close t<> l.'.OOO people saw the game. Gen-
eral Frederick Funstou wan the ranking
officer where officers of all ranks were*
it* plentiful us colonel* at a Kentucky liar*
nesw meet. Every one was net for a hard,
grnciling game, with either Hide likely
io win. but Texas a slight favorite on it*
reputation gained in month* <>f victory.
That the Longhorns of the Southwestern
plains would pile up ku< h a monumental
store was entirely unexpected, though ev-
ery one now can see how it was done.
The New Yorker* had mapped their cam-
paign carefully and curried into the game
u well trained crew with wonderful re-
serve streugtli, planning to rush the Tex-
ans off their feet, drive them to a call on
the subs and pound them into inglorious
defeat. *
It was New York that called In the subs
by legion, and the Texans who went deep
into the final quarters before giving their
reserves a chance to show that there were
others at home Just about as good.

rather than a part of the destructive
forces of war. How long the Germans had
been experimenting with the win* tractor
previous to the outbreak of the European
conflict apparently is not known on this
side. However, they made it apparent that
it has ample uses.
Advices were received at Fort Sam Hous-
ton yesterday that the equipping of Hat
tery C, Fifth Field Artillery, with traeiors
would begin in HI 1'aso tomorrow. This
is a --lege battery equipped with the new-
est "four-seven" guns. the insist powerful
the army now has. Five tractors, of sixty
horsepower each, will be supplied in ad
dition to five trucks of two tons capacity
each and a small automobile for the bat-
tery commander. These eleven gasolliu
propelled vehicles will supplant 211 horses
and the personnel of the battery will be
cut down from 105 to 1 'JO men.
A your ago the Field Artillery Board
estimated that a battery equipped such as
Hatteiy (' will be would result in a saving
o, $45,000 annually, not inclusive of the
amount of pay saved, by a reduction in the
number of men. It also was pointed out
that fifteen miles would be a good day's
march for the eight animals drawing one
of the siege guns. The new type of trac-
toi with which the experiments will bo
made is capable of covering six miles an
hour and can be operated tweuty lour
hours without stopping, covering thereto**
in a full day's march 144 miles over fairly
good roads. This is almost ten tlmes%the
distance that would be covered by horses.
Each of these tractors will null a com-
plete section of the battery. Four of these
feel ions consist of a siege guii and caisson
and the fifth is the signal section. For
the signal detail and headquarters detach-
ment there will be seven motor cycles.
Mattery C is commanded by Captain W. A.

variety in this country.
flashed off thirty-three yards around left
end behind marvelous Interference—and
Texas was on her way.
Never losing possession of the ball, sel-
dom held more than one down from a
lo-yard gain, Texas smashed through the
line with Dotson lugging the ball, or seut
Watson scurrying around and and onward
In broken field work that was magnificent,
until It had the ball on New York s 4-yard
distance. Dot son It was who slashed it
through over right guard. Collins kicked
goal, and the score was 7 to 0 for Texas
after seven and one-half minutes of play.
New York could not hold the Texans for
more than a moment. A line play that
failed to net the Lone Star team ten yards
was disappointing—an end run that did
not see this team go twenty or thirty
yards was disgusting to them. The packet!
stands bellowed mingled cheers for Texas
and encouragement for New York, and the
pa<ked sideMnes ou the far aide bellowed
back In echo.
But Texas ripped, tore and ranted on-
ward. Now and then New York would
get. the ball, but each time it was forced
t<> punt. Butler would boot the ball about
fifty yards, and like as not Watson would |
bring it back thlrtv or forty, playing tag I
with the diving Gotham tackier*. This j
youngster ha^ played great ball, but never [
has he played as he played yesterday -and
never was better broken field running seen
on a Texas-field than Watson showed
aglnst New York.
Texas seldom had to punt. When it dlo,
Collins booted it high, rather than far, al-
though few of his boots carried less than
fifty-five yards, and several approximated
seventy yards.
MAGNIFICENT INTERFERE N C K
Great as was the broken field running
of Watson, Abbott, Collins and Clark, aim
the line smashing of Dotson, the Item that
made the New Yorkers sit up and blink in
sheer amazement was the wonderful Inter-
ference that seemed to spring from the
very earth to protect the Texas runners.
It was like the crop that sprang from the
fabled sowing "f dragons teeth always
a man or two in the way of h New York
tackier, ami always back of the Interfer-
ence a dodging, flashing, side-stepping,
twisting, squirming human being, fast as
a singed cat, clothed in eelskin and filled
with springs that worked around an eccen-
tric geared to dynamite. The Texas inter-
ference was not merely machinelike—It was
brainy and qulck-thlnkinf as well Even
the hundreds present who had seen foot-
ball In the big university games yesterday
yielded the palm to Texas for Its great In-
terference running under any and all con-
ditions. Even in the presence of the team's
star individual playing, this interference
loomed as the one biggest feature of the
game.
And defensively New York found the
Texans a rock. From end to end, and
backed up by a second defense that nailed
t,hem unerringly, the Texas line met and
stopped the New Yorkers. Mole, the Texan
forwards met and threw back the opposi-
tion. Terrific line smashers like Red Wil-
kinson, Fddle Butler. Granny Miller and
Walter Glass flashed luto the line, buckled

physical condition, and ever on the alert
to tackle the day's problems.
You cannot afford to permit any Im-

important part of your physical make up
I the blood supply, and upon its condi-
tion depends the proper action of every

become impoverished by ItnpuHtiei creep-
ing in, if the circulation is poor and in-
adequate, the Jlrst effects are a general
run-down and "good for nothing" feeling
that renders you unfit for the perform-
ance of your ordiuary tasks.
This condition robs you of your useful
ness. But worse than that, it renders

up and fell back for a loss more often than |
not. And from under every other scrim- t
mage was <1 ragged an injured New Yorker,
attesting mutely to the Lower of the drive
they were sending to futile slaughter at I
that Duncan to Simpson line.
GET THREE FIRST DOWNS.
The New Yorkers rushed off three < lean !
first downs. One came on a forward
pass, Butler to Duffy, good for forty yards,
the runner being overhauled i» Collins-'
from behind and tackled so hard ho was '
forced to quit the game. This gave New ;
York the ball on Texas' IK yard distance.
Wilkinson rammed the Hue thrice, and eked
out a coupel of gain;* but was forced to
retire Injured, after being thrown for a 1
loss by Duncan and Berry. A fumbled
pass gave Texas the ball then, and the last J
real New York chance to score had gone - j
a great chance, had not Texas again shown I
a marvelous defensive in the shadow of its I
own goal posts.
Another first down came for New.York
later, when Walter Glass ripped twenty !
yards through center. That was all. The '
balance was all Texas. But New York i
never quit. Even with the score 48 to ol
against them In the fourth quarter, tue
New Yorkers held hard and fast thrice
right at their goal line, only to have Texas
shift the attack and send Watsou worm
ing over outside of right tackle.
In forward passing, aside from that one
successful attempt, New York had no luck.
Every time they would start one it either
would be broken up or It would be inter-
cepted by Diller, Collins or Turner and
curried back for a long gain for Texas,
('nee Turner gathered in an aerial and •
raced It through the New Yorkers for a
touchdown, a run of thirty-five yards. This
brought the second touchdown. And a
touchdown generally meant a goal to fol-
low from the toe of Collins or Hendricks.
It was the biggest football day the State
of Texas ever saw in the size of the
crowd and the makeup thereof and the
class of the teams engaged. It was not
so much that. New York was weak, hut
that Texas has brought out into the lime-
light of deserved publicity the greatest
team ever assembled in the South -one of
the greatest the country ever kn#w. This
was the cheerful and voluntary verdict or
such men as Hamilton Andrews of Prince-
ton, Eddie Butler of Cornell, Red Wilkin-
son of Syracuse and others of the New
Yorkers last night after the smoke of bat-
tle had drifted away. And they are in a
position to know football from all Its
angles.
FIRST QUARTER.
Receiving the klckoff on its five-ynid
mark, Watsou carrying it hack from that
point fifteen yards, Texas marched just
eighty yards to a touchdown, inain 1 >
through the great end running of Watson
and the line hammering of Dotson, never
losing the ball until it was nicked off
after the touchdown. The balance of thii
quarter was scorelesa, featured for New
York by the run-hacks of Butler and fo:t
Texas by the work of the whole team in
defense and that of ('lark, Collins, Dotson
and most of all Watson in offense. Texas
could not get Its forward passes going
here. Hcore, 7 to 0.

CHICAGO, Jan. U0. Ban Johnson's
"are In the bole" In the strike situation
was disclosed today, ills latest proposi-
tion with which he hopes to knock
thoughts of a strike out of Dave Fults's
followers Is a home for broken down base-
ball players. He is sincere in it, too.
The old home Idea Is the outcome of
much thinking as to what to do with the
huge amounts that have been rolltag in
at the world's series gates in recent years.
Johnson is determined to cut down the
amount allowed to the playars, also what
goes to the Commission, and even the
amount turned Into the major league war
chests each season. The hitter is an as
sessuient on the net earnings and goes
to pay salaries and expenses of league em
I ployes.
Bnn probably will pot the matter up to
the (dub owners and the ether members
of the National Commission. There Is no
way of telling Just now what the »iuallfl-
cations will be. It Is probable that n
player will have to show a certain period
of service to get In.
Ban evidently Is not frightened by
Fult/'s threat to put the Players' Fra-
ternity under the protection of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. From what
Johnson says, he has an understanding
with PresldHiiiOompers. made some years
ago. when differences arose over the labor
question in the construction of the Cleve-
land ball park. Part of the agreement
iit (lie time was that the American League
thenceforth would respect union labor und
It has done so. Hence, Johnson feels there
Is little chance that Oompers will en
courage Fults In a move that Is unwar-
ranted.
Johnson said today that as far as or
gsnised basebsll Is concerned the Players'
Fraternity does not exist. The Comutls

according to Johnson. Is persona non
grata and his communications to the Com
mission will only serve to keep the waste
basket filled. If an Individual player ha*

"Comlsh," but hell not get anywhere, say-.
Ban, if the fratetnlty Is brought Into the
a ran men t.
"The strike move will die out because

BALL PLAYERS' HOME PLANNED
By Associated I'rcss.
CHICAOO, Jan. 20. Establishment of a
home for aged baseball players probablv
will be proposed to club owners of the
American and National Leagues, B B
Johnson, president of the American League!
announces.
Such a home could be established easily
and maintained, he said. "It might be
feasible to give a part of the world's series
receipts to such a cause and club owners
probably could be indited to contribute.
Several benevolent organizations have
homes for the uged and I think baseball
players should have oue."
'I he subject, President Johnson said, had
been discussed Informally by certain
major league club owners, but ne action
had been taken.

Show Crowd—Actors Are Par-

Time was when our stars of the stage

made to a noted star of either the legiti-
mate stage or the silent drama—there was |
forthcoming enough publicity material to |

But that Is an oln story now. That is.
certain events which occurred at the re-
cently held New York Automobile Show
ttnd to strengthen the conviction that the
day when the automobile manufaetuVer
promotes the actor or actress has passed.
It li now up to the stage folk to do a
little boosting for the maker of motor

From the opening of the New York show
and up until the closing night the Stude-
hsker booth was surrounded with a tui"».„
of Interested and enthusiastic spectators.
