FLAKE CAKE has the same percentage
of Protein that nut cake has—43 per cent
or better. However, it is superior in that
it is softer and young cattle learn to eat it
sooner; owing to its flexibility, Flake
Cake does not crumble so easily as other
forms and thereby eliminates considera-
ble waste.

period was half over when the Lobos
started an offense that could not be
stopped. With Alford, Grady, and
McNeil alternating as ball-toters the
Lobo pack started a steady drive to-

a sizing on the finished material.
This sizing is gelatine, starch, para

losing their lustre, crispness and

Grady, Lobo quarter, made two pret-

yards. Every Lobo was fighting;
their second chance had come. The

The beautiful little cottage being 1
built by the Sul Ross faculty is near- 1
ing completion and should be occu- 1
pied within a week. During the 2
summer session, some of the mem- 1
bers of the faculty decided that 1
there should be a smaller cottage .
than those now owned by Sul Ross, 1
hence the new building. 1
The cottage will have only four .
rooms, a living room and a bedroom; 1
however the living room can be 1
changed into a bedroom in the sum- .
mer months. In addition to these 1
two rooms there will be a small 1
kitchenette and a modern bath. The 1
base of the cottage is of cobblestone 2
which extends almost halfway up 1
the sides of the building, forming a 1
very striking contrast to the modern .
many-colored roof. Another incident 1
of interest is that a large part of 1
the building is being done by stu- 5
dents of Sul Ross combined with the 1
help of Mr. Young. 3
The cottage was built at a cost of 1
about $800, but it has been stated ,
that it will rent for less than one of .
the Sul Ross cottages. The cottage 1
has been rented in advance to Mrs. 1
Burleson. :
This small cottage which promises! :
to be both artistic and sound eco-:
nomically, will serve as a demon- 1
stration building for those who wish |,
to see it in practical usage. If the | 1
diminutive building meets with pub-11
lic approval, several more of the 3
same type will be constructed before %
next summer, it is rumored. /

real turning point in the game, for
the Lobos crashed through the de-
fense at will. With Alford flashing-
through tackle for ten and fifteen
yards at a time the pack made their
second score with a rush. McNeil
crossed the line with a short six yard
dash off tackle. Alford added the
extra point to give the Lobos a 13-
6 lead.
McNeil Heads Drive
Ray McNeil led the next drive,
Following an interference which
could not be stopped, the fleet Sul
Ross backs twisted, dodged, and
plunged the ball to within twenty
yards of the goal. Here Grady call-
ed for a fake spin play; after faking
the ball to two halfbacks, Mc-
Neil pivoted and dashed through a
hole big enough for a wagon; he
was downed after a pretty fifteen
yard run through the center of the
line. With only five yards to go for
a score the same play was called;
McNeil crossed the line for the third
and final score. The try-for-point
failed . The score stood 19-6 with
Sul Ross on the big end. At this
stage of the game Coach Graves put
in every man who had not played.
The Aggie backs were sorry to see
the rangy Ford and Townsend leave
so “late” in the game. During the
entire game the Farmers did not ex-
ecute a single successful end run;
Ford and Townsend stopped every
attempt. The game was about over
when Crow passed to Cowan, who
ran to within three yards of the Ag-
gie goal. The whistle saved the Ag-
gies a greater loss, for one more play
-would have given the Lobos another
score. The game ended with Sul
Ross 19, A. & M. 6.
A. & M. attempted about twelve
passes; two were completed for no
gains; four were intercepted by Lo-
bo backs; six were batted to the
ground. Sul Ross attempted three
passes. Two of them were complet-
ed for a total of 23 yards; the other
was passed far over the receiver’s
head.
Sul Ross made 12 first downs to
Fort Worth, October 18.—Cattle
receipts the first two days of this
week have been the heaviest of the
season. Good to choice fed steers are
fully steady, while common stockers
and half-fat killing steers are 15
to 25c lower for the week. There'
have been no good fed steers on sale,
the bulk of the killing steers here
being common in quality and flesh.
Several cars of good to choice, de-
horned, white-face 2-year-old stock-
ers here today sold at $8.75, while
the medium to good kind are selling
from $8 to $8.25. Good to choice red
stocker steers, $7.25 to $7.75; fair
kinds, $6.75 to $7.25; common and
Jerseys, $5.75 to $6.50.
Butcher cattle are fully steady
with the good close last week, and
we think are selling at the high
time since the War.
There were no real choice stock
cows here this week, but all classes
of stock cows are about 25c higher
than a week ago, and could be good
enough to sell for $6.50 in carlots.
Bulk of the red cows and aged white
faces, $5 to $5.75. Very few stock-
er heifers here, but would sell fully
as good as the very best time this
year. Good, dehorned, white-face
heifers quotable up to $8. Bulk odds
and horned heifers, $7.50 to $7.75.

bounds on the Sul Ross 5 yard line.
Standing behind his own goal line
Townsend had to bring the team out
of a hole. The ball was snapped.
Townsend was about to get off a
good kick when an A. & M. man
plunged through left tackle and suc-
cessfully blocked the punt. The ball
rebounded behind the goal, and there
was a mad rush for the pigskin.
When the bodies were untangled, an
Aggie lay on the ball. They had
profited by the first break of the
game. The extra point was a fail-
ure; the score was 6-0 for the Ag-
gies.
Score Tied
The Lobos received on their
own 20 yard line and returned the
ball to their 40 yard line. The Farm-
ers had begun to tire. Time out was
‘ taken for A. & M. During the rest
passed from one Lobo “back” to an-
other—the Aggies could not follow
the ball; all at once the entire A. &
M. backfield shifted toward the op-
posite side of the field where Bob
Clark was racing toward the goal
line 60 yards away. One by one the
fleet Lobo back passed the Aggie
backs; the play was executed with
such clock-like accuracy that a de-
fensive “back” never touched the
man carrying the ball. Clark’s dash
gave the Lobos a 6-6 tie with the
Farmers. The try for point failed.
Fourth Quarter—The last period
had hardly begun before the heavy
backfield replaced the Sul Ross light-
er backs. Alford, Cowan, McNeil
and Grady came into the game, fresh
and ready. This seemed to be the
plays. Sul Ross punted to midfield.
Aggies Start Drive
The Aggies started their first and
last drive down the field. Quick, de-
ceptive plays netted down after down
until the Lobos were backed into the
very shadow of their own goal. Here
every man stood his ground, and the
first two downs did not gain for the
Aggies. With a knife-cutting line
plunge the A. & M. fullback carried
the ball to within reach of the Sul
Ross goal. It was the last down with
about a yard to go. Bing! Half. 0-0.
Aggies Get Break
The third period started with a
light, fast backfield representing Sul
Ross. Clark, Baggett, Bardin, and
Allen entered the game for the first
time. The Lobos kicked off to A. &
M., who in return, punted out of
sold up to $9.60 today. Veals stea-
dy, choice veals quotable from $10
to $11.50. Bulls steady. We sold
two cars of bulls today, averaging
1215 pounds at $6.00.
Sheep steady. Fat clipped mutton
around $8. Fat yearlings around
$10. Choice fat lambs, $12.50 to
$13.
