POLYTECHNIC WINS FROM Y.
M. C. A. IN PRACTICE GAME
BASKET BALL.
FOOT BALL!!
Annual Thanksgiving Game
POLYTECHNIC vs. FORT WORTH U.
HAINES PARK, NOV. 24
GAME CALLED AT 3:30 P. M.
Lots of College Spirit and a Good Game
BE THERE!
Polytechnic 22—Y. M. C. A. 14.
In a fast practice game. Polytechnic
won from the Y. M. C. A. of the city
Tuesday evening by the score of 22-14.
The game was played on Poly’s gym
nasium court, and was both fast and
furious, with the odds in favor of the
basket ball Panthers. Both teams
played practically all their men at dif-
ferent stages of the game.
The first half ended with the score
12—5 in Poly’s favor. In the first few
minutes of the second period, however,
the Y. M. C. A. picked up and icd ine
Panthers by one or two points, later
weakening so much as to give Poly
the lead again.
This was the hardest work-out so
far for the boys and they made excel-
lent showing. Caver at center played
good hall, Cox and Gilliland will soon
be in their old time form, and you
know what that means. Barker, Baits
and Young are always in the game.
There is no reason why with such
men we may not expect the State
championship in basket ball this year.
Coach St. Clair knows how to hand'c
the men to make a winning team of
them. With the close of the football
season there will be additional men
on the court for practice. In fact Poly-
technic can expect a second team this
year of no mean standing.
Those participating in the game at
different stages of the game were:
For Polytechnic — Caver, Payne,
Young, Gilliland, Cox, Barker, Baits,
Brigham, Blume and St. Clair.
For Y. M. C. A.—C. Be van, Ingram,
White, Lang. Miller, H. Bevan, .Spen-
cer. Bush and Welsh.
PANTHERS DEFEATED
BY DANIEL BAKER.
Fast and Heavy Back Field of Brown-
wood Eleven Too Much for Poly.
Last Saturday afternoon Daniel Ba-
ker defeated the Poly Panthers in one
of the hardest fought battles of the
season, by a score of 8—0. Brown-
wood people proclaimed it one of the
most magnificent struggles that has
ever been pulled off on the local grid-
iron.
Poly played somewhat at a disad-
vantage on account of the fact that

before because of a breakdown Friday
afternoon near Scotland. Phis threw
them in Brown wood at 3 o’clock Sat-
urday morning when they should have
gotten there at 9 o’clock Friday night.
They seemed to lack their old time
vim on account of this; but neverthe-
less. the game was close enough to
make it one of tin* most interesting
games that the Daniels have underta-
ken this season.
Poly was held for downs while with-
in only 6 inches of her goal line. Ila\
ing made this shortly after the kick
off by Daniel Baker. By the end of
the first quarter the ball had been
worked back to the center of field.
Daniel Baker’s touchdown came in
the second quarter after a 'brilliant
triple pass in the back field, which
terminated in a forward pass of twen-
ty yards to Vinson, who was downed,
within a few feet of the goal line.
Halfback Jones carried the ball over.
The kick was a failure. Score, end < s
first half, 5—0 in favor of D. B. (.’.
Poly kicks off in beginning of third
quarter. Ball was brought back to
center and the battle surged back and
forth. Neither team seemed to have
the advantage during this quarter. In
the next quarter Quaiterback Low
made a beautiful droo kick from 35
yard line, which left the score 8—0 in
favor of the Daniels.
Neither side used forward passes
successfully except in a few instances.
Polytechnic made good gains bv her
delayed line plunges. While Daniel
Baker never failed to make good gains
by the end runs of Jones, who ;eemcd
to be Daniel Baker's star. For I). B.
Vaughn, Low, Pinson and Young also
played good ball. For Polytechnic
Henderson, Claunch and Mill**** were
more conspicuous with all the hovs
playing consistent hail for their crip-
pled condition.
'The game was wed attended hv lo
cal supporters of Daniel Baker. The
boosting of the students was a nn,;ce
able feature of the game. The night-
shirt parade through the principal
streets of Brown woo i, hv the D. B.
students, at night was v’ewed by large
and enthusiasti crowds.
Officials—Referee, McF.achrrn, if
Wisconsin; umpire, Gaunt of Baylor;
field judge, Irvine of Ambers:. Time
of quarters, 15 minutes. Touchdown.
Jones. Drop kick. Low.

O. U. FRESHMAN.
I stood upon the mountain
And gazed adown the plain,
I saw a field of green stuff
That looked like waving grain,
1 took another look at it
And thought it must he grass.
But goodness! to my horror
It was the freshman class.
In his closing sermon Sunday morn-
ing. Rev. Long told of the progress of
the church during the year. The mem-
bership has been very materially in-
creased, the work of the church along
spiritual lines has made excellent prog-
ress, and in addition to that the work
on the new church has been carrie I
forward to the point of occupancy,
'I he members of the church have raised
during the year something more than
$6,000.00 for building purposes, mi ad-
dition to to enlarged contributions for
the other needs of the church.
Much credit is. due Pro. Long for
his untiring efforts in behalf of the
new church. When the building com-
mittee had reached its limit, and the
church was still not complete enough
to he occupied, he took the burden
upon his own sohulders and by con-
tinued efforts kept the work going till
lie was able to conduct services in the
chtrreh. ,
Elegant pews have already been in-
stalled by the ladies of the Home Mis-
sion Society. So successful have the
ladies been in their work that they f
were able to pay a deposit of half on
the purchase price of the seats when
they were delivered.
When completed the church will seat
1500 people, and will be one of the
most magnificent churches in the city.
The final cost will approximate
$45,000.00.
POLY SECONDS WIN FROM
NORTH FORT WORTH
HIGH SCHOOL.
•Scor* 3—o
The Panther Seconds won from the
North Port Worth High School Mon-
day evening in a fast game. The only
score of the game was a field goal by
Quarterback Pope for the Poly hoys.
Those who saw the game pronounc-
ed it one of the cleanest and best
played games of the season for the
teams of their class.
The game was played on the North
Side hut a return game will probably
he played on the local gridiron.
THE SEAT OF THE PAIN.
Judge.
Little Natalie had a sore throat and
complained to her mother of the pain.
Fearing an attack of diphtheria, which
the child had never been through, the
anxious mother looked into the little
girl’s throat, but saw no untoward sign.
“Arc you sure your throat pains
you?” asked she. “Tell mother just
where the pain is?"
“My tongue hurts me where it was
put in,” was the answer.
