The North Texas Eagles jumped
into prominence in the Lone Star
Conference derby and raised a seri-
ous threat of throwing the 1035
championship into a three-way .tie
Friday night, when they unleashed
a fourth-quarter attack that rolled
over visiting Sam Houston Bear-
cats for a 20 to 0 victory.
Sam Houston's scrapping Bear-
cats. led by Rose, a triple-threat
halfback whose work was a high-
light of the game, fought doggedly
but couldn't dent the Eagle de-
fense for any serious threat. On
the other hand, they were consist-
entiy pushed back into their own
.territory, and in the fourth quar-
ter were completely bowled over.
Stovall Breaks Loom-
Galloping little Johnny Stovall,
still not in top condition but able
to carry the ball after a three-
weeks' absence because of a hip in-
jury suffered at Abilene, was the
spearhead of the fourth quarter of-
fensive that crumpled the Sam
Houston team. On the closing play
of the third period he raced over
nine yards to the Sam Houston 46-
yard line, lacking inches of a first
down. As the final quarter opened.
Coach Jack Sisco sent in the re-
mainder of his regulars on the line
and Stovall pushed over the first
down on the opening play Hester
picked up nine more yards. Then
Stovall broke loose for a 48-yard
run, sidestepping the Bearcat lines-
man and outsprinting their second-
ary defense, to carry the touchdown
standing. Wilson converted.
Pass Efforts Smashed
The Sam Houston team took to
the air in a desperate effort to even
the count and it proved their un-
doing. Both the other Eagle touch-
downs came by intercepted passes.
The first was scored by Woody Wil-
son. who snared a Sam Houston
throw from their own 18 and sprint-
ed over to score. Wilson also con-
verted. The final tally was made
Possible by Roger Martin. Eagle

Natural Fortresses
“The most highly mechanized
army in the. world would only smash
its head against these mighity nat-
ural fortresses, which are like the
great canons of Colorado and Cal-
ifomnla," said one of the emperor's
associates.
With thousands of warriors march-
ing into the capital from remote re-
gions at the empire to offer their
services, the emperor was obliged
today to reject several thousand vol-
unteers on the grounds that all
fronts were already overmanned,
making the feeding, sheltering and
arming of .troops difficult.
Many of the rejected volunteers
broke Into tears, pleading with the
emperor that they would feed, shel-
ter and arm themselves if they were
permitted to join the defending
forces.
Halle Selassie promised to accept
their services later, to replace
wounded or exhausted soldiers.
Authorities announced that the
emperor also was receiving letters
daily from Ethiopian students
abroad, asking the government to
send passage money so .that they
might return and join the army.

AUSTIN, Nov. 2— A depression,
but not one created by the same
misfortunes that have fostered the
one of the last few years, greeted
Stephen F. Austin when he visited
the Mexican settlements in Texas
on his first trip to that province.
For the peqble of that region were
not troubled with over-production
and inadequate income. Instead, they
had plenty of money, but there
were no commodities for which they
could spend it.
In his- first trip to San Antonio
and in his subsequent explorations,
Austin traversed the region now cov.
ered by twenty-three counties, rec-
ords in the Austin papers and in the
Bexar Archives, both of which col-
lections are kept in the Library of

foand khat there were only two
small villages in this vast region—
San Antonio and Goliad-with a to-
tal population of 2,516 inhabitants.
Nacogdoches, which had been a
town of over a thousand popula-
tion before the filibustering expe-
ditions of 1812, 1817 and 1810, was
now a deserted village The missions
near Ban Antonio and La Bahia
were either deserted or poorly
managed and in a deplorable state
of dilapidation. Because of govern-
ment restriction* on trade with Ute
United States, and since the sources
of supply— Mcnterrey, saltilo, Vera
Crtiz—were so inaccessible. Spanish
Texans were living in a most
wretched condition. Austin found
that they, had an abundance of
money, but there was nothing for
them to buy with it. The ever pres-

of the Guadalupe River. From there
I shall go by land and report to
Your Lordship any observations that
I may have made, for your resolu-
tion I have permitted some at the
families now living in Nacogdoches
-where they were settled by Don
Erasmo Seguin—to move to the dis-
trict I have outlined above. I here
given this permission only to those
who have furnished affidavits at
good character I have promised
them land in accordance with the
*lan I proposed to Your Lordship.
with the only difference that I have
not promised to give them town lota;
I have decreased the acreage given
to unmarried men and hare in-
creased the allotment given them
for children and slave*. I have giv-
en each head of a family one square
mile or 640 acre*; a woman receives
only half this amount or 320 acres:
each child receives one-fourth or"
160 acres; and each slave one-
eighth or 80 acres. The land will be
given the settlers in two section*;
one of them will be set aside for
grazing stock This manner of dis-
tributing land s more acceptable
to people of means and It is more "'
like the system they are accustomed
to in the United States. The amount
of land given them is almost the
same a* what I suggested during
my visit to San Antonio, but it is
divided in a different way. Since
fareers could not, at the same time,
settle on farms and town lota, the
result would be that no town* could
be founded Therefore, I have re-
served town lots tor merchants, me-
chants and others who may wish to
settle in them.

Since I will not be able to go with
them yet. I have appointed Don
Thomas Novell, of Nacogdoches, to
lead them and to see that they are
well located and that there are no
misunderstandings among them, in
order that they may not scatter
out too much. I have assigned them'
