Tho Denton Eagles sorta

ter the twenty yards in penal-
ties put thorn back to tho
thirty they scored again.
Trinity lpst her captain last
Frlduy night in tlfo game wltlt
McMurry when Prultt received a
broken log. Reports from tho
game tell us that the Tlgors play
ed tho Indians off their foot after
tho uccldont. So no doubt they
will be battling their heads off
for Prultt and tholr first victory.
About sovonty fans followed
the team to Denton last week.
Sovonty fans catho back in
. ' ft f tr
the most disgusted mood pos-
slble after witnessing ono
such game.
When they don't play football
they not only "rat" on tho school
but they are "ratting on them
selves and on Coach Morris. And
anyono who can lay down and quit
on such a follow as "Dugs" Mor-
ris Is no moro n man than A rat.
Plouso understand not ull the
football boys are loafing on tho
Job but thoso who are know it
nnd so doos ovcryone elso.
I'll just toll you fellows.
These students havo backed
you for ono two or three
years and you havon't shown
them you appreciated It.
Now thoy'ro ready to quit.
Neither you nor I blnmo them.
It you who play don't care
enough about wlnn'ng to
hustle then thero's no uso
for them to bog you to play
just a little harder.
Take this fp. Put some of
that fight h tj $amo' that Is ex-
pended In tho bus and stop sleep-
ing In aifuJl p'ractlpo.
It's an JI-jO bet tbnt Denton
won't try to got any of our foot
ball players.
