WhIGH WILL WITH
Much Enthusiasm Over An
nuaI Thanksgiving Game.
FRIENDS AND PARAMOUNT
Football Teams VIII Play on
That Date.

a great deal OF interest has been man
ifested thus far this season as TO the
outcome Of the annual football game be
tween Paramount College and the Friends
University elevens. which viii be played
on the Fairmount grounds on the after
noon Of Thanksgiving day.
Both teams this year have played the
same teams and by their games a par
tai standard may be placed upon which
to judge the merits OF the two teams.
Early IN the season the Friends played
Lewis Academy and beat them by a big
score. IN fact. the Lewis men did not
score against them Three weeks ago the
Paramount team went down before the
Lewis Academy men by 2 score OF TO ..
Fairmount has not played the High
School, except a practice game The
Friends were defeated by the High
School team by . small margin Fair
mount played the team from Kingfsher
College here several weeks ago and were
defeated by z scor OF TO 0. The Friends
went to Kinghsher and played the team
and we're defeated by a score OF s. TO Q.
Monday the Paramount men played King
fisher on their own grounds and the for
ner were defeated by a score OF Is to >.
Paramount played the team OF Cooper
College at Sterling two weeks ago. They
came out winners by a score Of TO Q.
Last Saturday the Friends played the
same team on the local grounds and de-
feated them 70 0.
Fairmount was defeated at Norman, o.
T.. last week and the Friends were de-
feated by the Wellington High School
two weeks ago The team from Beth
any College defeated Paramount by a
score Of > to O. Last year neither team
played any Of the teams the other did.
FairmoGnt seems to have q slight ad-
vantage in weight Both her guards are
very heavy men, while but one OF the
Friends men IS a heavyweight The
tackles Of both teams are about the
same weight The center Of Paramount
is considerably heavier than the Friends
man. while the ends of Fairmount are
good ten pounds heavier than the men
who play the same position on the Qua
ker team. Behind the line Paramount
has fast man for quarter and so have
the Friends. Here they are about equal
in weight and playing ability. The two
halves of the Friends are sure men and
Of medium weight. while their fullback
and captain is q very big man and one
experienced on the gridiron. He is prob
abby the heaviest man on the team.
Paramount has fine lineup behind the
line as one could wish. Tie fullback is
a sure punter and their captain IS one OF
the Oldest football men IN the city. He
is not a heavyweight by any means.
but when it comes to gaining ground
he is right there. the right man in the
right place The other half IS not 50 sure
a man and does not get into the game
as he should with the training he has
had.
Both teams were taught a fine lesson
when they ran up against Kingdsher.
They were plainly shown what fast work
would do even against a heavy team
Both the friends and Faiimount team
were heavier than KingdsLer. but each
was defeated. When the referees whistle
would sound that the ball was dead the
I<ingfsher eleven was forming for an
other scrimmaEe and almost before the
