Ocals WIN DECISIVELY FROM
I VERNON BY SCORE OF TWEN-
TY-SEVEN TO NOTHINO.
WAS WELL PLAYED GAME
Wichita Team Won With Considerable
Ease, But Visitors Played Hard
Throughout Game.
Wichita Falls 27. Vernon o.
The local football team got away yes-
, ., terday within clean cut xietorxcover
the Vernon eleven at the baseball park
yesterday afternoon. In the presence of
a substantial crowd of rooters, the
acorn being as above. Wichita Falls'
combination of forward passes and
tackle plays was too much for the vis-
itors and the result was never in doubt
, after the first few minutes of the play.
After Vernon kicked off to Wichita
Falls at the start, a few line plunges
took the ball to within forty yards of
‘of the Vernon goal and Capt. Huff
plowed through tackle and across the
field for the first touchdown, which
was made in about three minutes of
play. On the next kickoff the ball
was carried almost to the goal line
on forward passes and Talley bucked
the line tor the second touchdown. Fil-
go kicked the goals on the first two
touchdowns, making the score 12 to 0
at the end of the first six minutes of
the game. Two more touchdowns
. were added in the first half and when
the intermission came the score stood
22 to 0 In favor of the locals.
During the second half Vernon brac-
“ed nicely and held the locale to one
touchdown. Near the end of the game,
Vernon was playing good football, hit-
.ting the locals for several good gains.
L90 Wichita's five touchdowns. Huff
(made two, Clopton one, Talley one
and Clapp one.
Wichta Falls attempted eighteen for-
ward passes and fifteen of them were
successful. Line plunges were usu-
ally made for good gains. Vernon
probably did not gain more than twen-
ty yards on Wichita Falls throughout
the entire game.
The entire local team played well
and their performance was a brilliant
one, especially when it is considered
that their only practice has been by
moonlight. For Vernon, Capt. Grey
did the best work.
Plans are under way for a return
same st Vernon next month.
The attendance at the game, while
F not as large as the occasion demanded,
s was sufficient to pay all expenses. The
Vernon hoys were a nice set of fellows
and there was nothing disagreeable to
mar the game. About thirty Vernon
rooters accompanied their team. The
lineup follows:
Vernon—right end, Capt. Grey; right
tackle, Hagnn; right guard, Williams;
center. Bill Btines; left guard, Ben-
ecke; left tackle, Staloup: left end,

SCHOOL TEAMS LOSE AT
ALTUS ANO HENRIETTA
While the Wichita Falls team was
having things it own way on the local
gridiron yesterday, things of a decided-
ly less satisfactory nature were trans
piring at Altus and Henrietta, where
the first and second high school teams
were playing.
At Altus the Wichita Falls high
school second eleven was defeated by
of 25 to 0. The Wichita boys were
stiff from lack of practice and were
heavily outweighed by their opponents,
in spite of which they gave a good ac-
count Of themselves.
Yesterday at Henrietta the high
schol second eleven was defeated by
Henrietta’s first eleven by a score of
26 to 5. The defect was probably due
to two causes; first, the Wichita team
had not practiced together before yes-
terday morning, and second, Henrietta
averaged folly fifteen pounds more to
the men.
Henrietta received the kick and
steadily advanced for a touchdown by
Prof. Moors. Moors kicked goal.
Wichita received the next kick, and
Sommerville, on recovering the ball
from Henrietta, ran thirty-Eve-yards
for a touchdown. Mathis failed to Mok
goal. In a few minutes Wichita was
forced back for a safety. During the
rest of the game Henrietta made three
more touchdowns, and Moers kicked
all three goals.
Long end rune and center bucks
were the only distance gainers. The
forward pass waa tried three times, but
failed each time. -

Above is a list of the counties in the
Twenty-Ninth Senatorial District and
their assessed valuations.
Most of these counties are standard
Texas counties, (900 square miles
each) but the counties of Clay, Wich-
Ita, Wilbarger and Hardemta, being
border counties are irregular in shape
and either above or below the stand-
ard. Clay county having 1125 square
miles, Wichita 590, Wilbarger 1025 and
Hardeman 680, approximately.
As will be seen, Wichita, white the
smallest in the list of forty-four coun
ties, in third in point of assessed valu-
ation, and, considering the size of
the county, stands head and shoulders
above them all, aa Clay and Potter,
the only two conuties which exceed
her, are much larger counties. Wil-
barger county, while having nearly
twice the area, falls short nearly a
million of coming up with Wichita.
St. Mary's Academy will remain
closed until next Wednesday for
Thanksgiving and many of the puplis
have left tor their homes to spend the
short vacation with relatives.
