‘Oliphant plaid” is a combination of

‘ Bold Evarywbere
The annual gridiron clash between
Sherman and Denison high schools was
staged on the field at League Park in
Denison yesterday afternoon and after
nearly three quarters of spectacular
play Intermixed with not a little quab-
bling, during which time spectators
crowded freely on the field, the game
was called on account of darkness, by
agreement of the coaches. At the time
the score stood 64 to 0 In favor of the
Sherman team.
The result was but the logical out-
come of a game between two unevenly
matched teams, and In justice to the
Denison lads it may be said that they
were outweighed by at least ten pounds
to the man and that their defense
against the driving power of the local
backs was neoesarrlly very weak while
their offensive strength against the
Sherman line was almost nil. The
game was notable for the spectacular
individual work of the Shermau play-
ers. Lee Jones was the particular
bright star of the afternoon, distin-
guishing himself by scoring half the
number of points made by his team.
Jones went over the line for five touch
downs, made two broken field runs of
fifty yards each without Interference,
two runs of twenty-five yards for
touchdown and scored a safety behind
Denison's goal line. Cobb carried the
hall across for touchdown from mid-
dle of the field after receiving Deni-
son's punt, running the distance
through a broken field and without in
terference. Ramsey on end featured
by crossing Denison’s goal line on the
end of a twenty yard line on a fake
left end and booted eight for goals out
of nine trials. Touchstone deserves
credit for the manner in which he
pierced the Denison line for gains of
from five to ten yards.
The game for the most part was an
exhibition of the old time football.
Sherman resorted to the forward pass
hut once, Evans successfully passing
to Ramsey twenty yards and Ramsey
scoring touchdown after running ten.
But few end runs were tried. Sher-
mau failed to make their required dis-
tance but once, while their opponents
gi|lned their distance but twice: Once
on n penalty inflicted on Sherman for
holding and again on a successful pass
for tweuty yards.
The entire Denison offensive was
built up around Captain Tone, who
played on full. Practically the only
gains made by the Denison team, with
the exception of the pass from Glass
to Thomas, were made by Tone.
First Quarter.
Sherman won the toss and chose to
receive at the west goal. Cobb reeelv
ed Tone’s kick on the fifteen yard line
and returned the ball fifteen yards.
Jones gained ten through Blades'
tackle. Touchstone, Evans and Jones
each advanced the hall five yards
through the line. Turner for Detil
son reeovered the ball when Sherman
fumbled. Tone kicked out on the
fourth down, the ball going out of
houuds on Denison’s fifty-five yard
line. The Sherman hacks then com'
menced their drive and without losing
a down carried the ball to within 25
yards of Denison’s goal, from where
Cobb carried the ball over the first
touchdow’n, skirting Captain Wendt’s
end of the required gain.
Evans kicked to Denison, Tone re-
ceiving on the ten yard line and return-
ing the ball ten. Tone and Glass
bucked the Sherman line for inconsid-
erable gains. Jones broke through the
Denison line and carried Glass behind
I he Denison goal line, on au attempted
forward iwss, scoring a safety.
The ball was put in to play on Deni-
son’s twenty yard line with Denison
in liossesslon Falling to make their
distance, Tone punted, and Steen for
Denison recovered. Tone, Glass and
Steen attempted t<5 pierce the local
line, but falliug, the ball went over on
the fourth down. Sherman again
worked the ball straight down the
field, Touchstone, Cobb and Jones ad-
vancing five yards at a time, to within
six yards of the Denison goal line,
where the quarter ended.
Score—Sherman ft, Denison 0.
Second Quarter.
Changing gouts, Jones bucked over
the line in two downs uud Evans kick-
ed goal.
Tone received Evans’ kick on the ten
yard line and returned the ball ten.
Turner and Tone made yard advances.
Glass passed to Quarterback Thomas,
Thomas catching the ball near the
ground and running for a net gain of
thirty-five ysrikt, -Denison failed on
Jine plunges and nil hall went over.
Cobh, for Sherman was forced to punt
when the local team for the first time
failed to make their distance. The
hall again came into possession of the
Sherman team when Denison again
failed to make their distance. Touch-
stone advanced five through guard.
Jones and Cobb worked the ball up the
field to within striking distance of
goal. Evans crossed from twenty-five
yard line on a fake left end run, but
failed to kick goal.
Tone received Sherman’s kick. The
first half ended with the ball in pos-
session of Denison near the middle of
the field.
Score—Sherman 22, Denison 0.
Third Quarter.

broke up an attempted pass from Glass
to Thomas on the first down. Evans
returned Tone’s punt ten yards. On the
first down Jones took the ball and ran
fifty yards through a broken field for
touchdown. Evans picked goal.
Jones again scored when Denison
fumbled ufter receiving Sherman’s
kick and patting the hail into play on
the twenty-five yard line. Jones re-
covered on the first down and scored.
Evans kicked goal.

The result of the Terrlll-Hardln
game played at Dallas yesterday
sheds some light on the local football
situation. Terrill eliminated Hardin
for the prep school title by defeating
their rivals by a score of 30 to 0
Both teams were retried to be in
good condition and neither side at a
disadvantage, so far as players being
out of the gaaie ou account of In-
juries. et Terrill's score over Hardin,
a school in the prep class, was greater
than that scored over Sherman high
when the latter team met Terrill last
week, and came out defeated by a
score of 20 to 3. Early in the season
Terrill defeated Denison 61 to 0 and
yesterday Sherman trounced their old
time rivals by the goodly score of
64 to 0. Only three quarters were
played, the game being called In the
third on account of darkness. The de-
lay which necessitated the calling of
the game was caused by the 'frequent
squabbling of the two teams and the
substitution of a number of players
who were put out of the game.

“The Only Girl”
Of the many musical comedies pro-
duced In New York City recently, none
pleased the critics better than did "The
Only Girl,” which Joe Weber will pre-
sent at the Sherman opera house
Thursday, Nov. ft.
"The Only Girl,” Is the Joint work
of Henry Blossom and Victor Herbert,
the former having contributed the
hook and lyrics and the letter the mu-
sic; while it was produced under the
stage direction of Fred G. Latham.
This combination has before proven to
be a happy one as was evidenced In
“The Red Mill,” and “Mademoiselle
Modiste.” both of which were great
successes, hut neither more so than
lias liecn “The Only Girl.” Much of
the charm of this latest musical play
is due to the excellent book furnished
by Mr. Blossom, which is true comedy
and not a collection of slap-stick
vaudeville stunts, so often masque-
