Over 2,000 people were In attendence
at the Amherst-Blyrla football game,
which was staged at Brandt's park
last Sunday. Blyrla played a losing
game from the second quater until
the end of the game, much to the dls-
guest of the many Blyrla fans, who
made the trip here Sunday to see their
team win.
Blyrla kicked to Amherst, Wheeler
bringing the ball to the thirty yard line.
Two long plunges netted a first down
The locals fumbled on the next play
which the visitors took advantage of
and kept the ball in the locals territory throughout the first period. The
locals started their march late in the
second quater and a forty yard pass
—Jenkins to Wheeler put the pig skin
over the goal line for Amherst's only
counter. Jenkins drop kick was blocked. V
The visitors pulled off several good
passes In the second, halt but never
were able to come within acoring distance.
Long runs by Wheeler and Jenkins
were the Important features of the
game.
A summary of the first downs made
are Amherst 9, Blyrla 3.

PEARL STREET  RESIDENTS   WANT   SEWER.
Several residents from Pearl street
were present at the council meetin Mo-
day night asked for a sanitary sewer
on their street.
The council was further unable to
give ilii'i'n any decision on the matter
as they lack the funds to make any
further Improvements. They were Instructed to meet with the council aw'
in the event that the Amherst voters
passed  the  two mill   levy.
At the time, of course, the passion
of the levy was doubtful and In view
of the fact that the measure was turned
down Tuesday, indications are that
Pearl street will he without a sani
tary sewer.

WORK8 A8 FARM HAND TO
LEARN OF OUR PURE
BRED 8TOCK.
It has been noticed at aeveral high
school games that many fans have
been flourishing a big wad of currency
and have let other fane believe that
they were betting on the outcome oi
tho game. Whether they were really
betting, of course, is not exactly known
hut the principal of giving other people the Impression that they were
betting gives us the moat concern.
Scholastic athletics are of a different feature from all others, In that
none of the players on a high school
team, receive compensation for their
services. Their only pleasure which
comes from such sports is the winning
of honors for their school and themselves.
If the players, are willing Ur to
through hardships for Just the honor
of It, why is It that the fana are not
satisfied with the honor of their school
winning, and persist in betting money?
Betting might not be a crime and It
might be alrignt In its place, but we
feel that on a school athletic field or

Kansas  City,  Mo., Nov.   16,  1922.—
Suppose your father owned a It,
000-acre ranch ln Brazil, on which
he raised cattle. Would you travel
20,000 miles to a country whose people and language you did not know,
and work there as au ordinary "hand"
on a farm—In order to learn how to
breed and raise pure bred live stock?
That is what a twenty-six-year-old
Brazilian is doing. His nanio ll Ju'.lo
Palx Cortes and he came all the way
from Bage, Rio Uran do Sul, Brazil,
in order to leurn how cattle are handled by the leading breeders of the United States.
The young Brazilian gets up every
morning at Ave, helpa feed at Cedar
Croft Farm, near Kansas City, and
then after breakfast, puts in a strenuous day. At night he records his observations In his ever-handy notbook.
Pretty ambitious, don't you think,
for a rich young man who owns 1,
400 acres of Brazilian ranch land lu
his own right—and whose father has
ten times as much more?
Yet young Palx Cortes enjoys It,
because he is learning new experience
at Cedar Croft Farm is the climax of
several months' training ln thia country, during which he attended the animal husbandry classes at the University of Illinois and Iowa State Agricultural College.
"I came to the United States to learn
the best strains of Herefordu here,"
he saya. "Brazil already has thousands
of Hereford cattle, brought in principally from England and Uruguay. In

SOUTH AMHERST HI
HUMBLED SATURDAY
LOCALS DEFEAT  NEW   RIVALS IN
THE FIR8T GAME BETWEEN
THE   TWO   8CHOOL8—6-0
South Amherst high school's football team played "North" Amherst
high school's grid outfit at thu Hani.,
street fleld last Suturday, the outcome
of which proved that the local gridders were Just one touchdown better
than the visitors. It was a dlssapoint-
ed team from the little village south
of here that went to the showers after
Saturday's game.
The game was one of the best staged
on the local field this seuson and two
epual teams battled for honors. As
for weight, the locals played at an advantage, but as for experience, the
South Amherst lads had an edge on
the locals. The visitors have played
together for the past two yeurs, while
there are only four veterans on the
local outfit.
The two teams buttled even until
the second quarter, when Neumelster
and Leimbach started to gain through
the,, line. Several ten yard plunges
through the line put the bull over for
the locals only acore. Neumelater
failed to kick goal.
The plucky South Amherst outfit did
not give ln until the final whistle blew
and threatened only once to score,
they having tho ball on the one yard
line.
The South Amherst lads represent
pnly a small school but they had the
spirit and fight of a large one Saturday. Reports are that they had practiced hard to beat the locals and ln
view of this fuct the game was a hard
one to loae.
In years to come the South Amherst
football game will probably be a football classic It the little town and Its
school south of here starts to boom.
The "drys" in Amh-erst as well as
throughout the entire state were victorious Tuesday when the light wine
aud beer amendment waa defeated
by an overwhelming  majority.

WHO IS TO BLAME
It was reported Tuesday that a
mock election took place at one of
the Junior high school claaBea and
that tbe outcome was nothing to be
proud of.
It appears that about two thirds
of the votes cast, were for light wines
und beer, both boys and girls voting
for it alike.
It Is u sud stute of affairs when the
boys und girls express themselves
us being In fuvor of something that
wus abolished for their benefit.
Where ure their minds cramed full
of such thoughts? It is certain that
their school teachera do not teach
them to think that way and there are
only two other places; tlie home and
ou the street. Which is it and who
Is to blame?
