have the opportunity of witnessing
this season. There is little, if any,
love lost between local football fol-
lowers and the Muckers, due to the
mess over the would-be game of last
year, and members of the Lobo squad
are free to admit that the Miner
schap is their “pointed” game of the
season. They’re willing to commit
anything short of murder to bring
back their fourth consecutive victory
for the year. And that victory at the

up almost to the stage of cockiness
this week, after holding the strong

including tomorrow’s go, will be wins
for Stewart’s men.
All in all, it looks like a tough bat-
tle, and fans making the trip are as
sured of an interesting scrap. The
Lobos will need lots of backing in the
enemy territory. It is the hope of
chamber of commerce officials and
Lobo backers that a large crowd will
take advantage of this opportunity,
and make the trip to El Paso.

teams were fighting like the animals
whose names they bear. Both teams
were punting and punting well over
the average, Wicker for Sul Ross
and Stevens for A. C. C.. Many punts
spiraled 50 yards and more. Wicker
had a shade the better of the duel.
The last quarter featured sensa-
tional runs on both sides. The ball

the close of last week, bulk of the
good killing calves selling today from

yearling order around $11. Medium

lambs today at $11.50. Clipped year-
lings selling from $10 to $10.50; wool

The only Essex point in common with cars in its price
field—is price. There is little in either appearance or per-
formance to distinguish it from many a costlier car. -
In size, it possesses the advantage of compactness without
sacrifice of passenger quarters or riding comfort. It steers
as easily as any car you have ever driven. Won’t you
examine and drive the Essex, whether as a prospective
6 buyer or as one interested in knowing why it is the
choice car in its price field as proved by sales?
the third quarter. Beginning the last
quarter the Bucks began to tighten
up and outfought the Stockton boys
during the last period. On the last
play Allen pulled a Stockton pass
from the air and raced fifty yards
before being overtaken. The final
score was Stockton 25; Alpine 0. '
The Bucks take on Marfa Satur-
day and hope to redeem themselves. |
When the smoke of the battle cleared,
the ball was again on the 12-yard
line. “Ox” Cowan, crippled halfback
and line smasher de luxe, came into
the game with his right leg in a
makeshift cast. He hit the line on
the first down and was never slowed
down until he was over the goal
line. Ox could have gone 112 yards
as easily as the 12 yards on that
play. He also played a bang-up game
for Sul Ross; he got loose for a 40-
yard gain later in the game only to
lose it because of Gray bringing a
penalty to the Lobos. Gray, stocky
guard, 'redeemed himself, however,
smothering innumerable plays on the
line.
The first A. C. C. marker came ear-
ly in the second half. A Lobo fumble
on their five-yard line put A. C. C.
in scoring position and they went
over the line, Cheeves carrying the
ball. Stevens added the extra point.
Stevens kicked off to Sul Ross af-
ter the touchdown, Buddy Withers
returned the kick 70 yards through
all the A. C. C. team but Stevens. This
run was the most sensational of the
game.
Fort Worth, Oct. 30.—Receipts
were considerably lighter the first
two days this week than the first
two days of last week. Receipts were
estimated yesterday at 6,000 cattle
and 3,000 calves, and today dropped
to 1,800 cattle and 700 calves. What
few steers were offered this week
sold at steady prices, one car of good
cake-fed steers weighing 1210 lbs.
sold today at $12.50. Some fleshy
Brahma steers in the Quarantine
yards sold today at $8.75, averaging
790 lbs.
Fat cows ruled slow and a little
lower yesterday, but regained that
loss today and prices are about steady
with last week. Strictly choice cows
are quotable from $9 to $9.50, but
very few of this kind coming. Bulk
of the good fat cows offered selling
from $7.25 to $7.75, a few up to $8.
Medium to good kind of cows, $6.75
to $7.25. Cutters selling mostly from
$5.50 to $6, a few up to $6.25; can-
ners, $5 to $5.25 with carloads of
strong canners $5.50. Grass heifers
selling about steady.

week, and despite the bad weather,
has been putting them through stiff
workouts. The game won’t go to the
Miners through any lack of work on
the mentor’s part.
The little argument with the Muck-
ers will be far from a set-up. The
boys answering to Doc Stewart’s bid
nurse a somewhat open hatred for
the Alpine team themselves, due to
the fact that the Lobos are the only
good-sized barrier beteween them and
the championship of the Southwest
section.
After a disastrous start for the
Miners’ expense would be doubly
glorious.
From all apearances, Graves has
his squad in the best fettle it has been
for any game yet this season. With
the single exception of Bozarth, who
is out for all year, the squad is in
top form. Cowan, who by the way,
looms up to the Miners as about nine-
tenths of the Lobo squad, and is
a marked man for tomorrow, has
worked his leg back into good shape,
and is ready to start the game. Crow
and Terry, both out of the A. C. C.
game, will be able to play in El Paso.

Following an argument over a
domino game in Little Mexico last
Sunday afternoon Adolfo Ogas, age
about 15, stabbed Manuel Rodriquez,
another Mexican youth, in the abdo-
men with a small knife, inflicting a
bad, though not necessarily serious,
wound, according to Dr. J. E. Wright
who was called to treat the injured
boy.
Young Ogas was placed in jail by
Deputy Sheriff Boss Miller following
the altercation but was released Mon-
day on $10 bond to await charges
which will probably be aggravated
assault, Miller said.
Rodriquez had just recently been
released from jail where he had serv-
ed a sentence. He was formerly em-
ployed at the Owl Cafe.
