Oklahoma City. o. T., May 3.-okla-
homa City entertained the colleges of
the territory Friday. The annual ath-
letic contest between the students OF
the University at Norman. the two nor
NAL schools at Alva and Edmond and
the UNCONVENTIONAL college at Kingtish-
er, occurred. Heretofore the Agricul-
tural college at Saltwater has been rep
resented in this meet and ii was with re-
great that the oratorical exercises OF
the athletic association were compelled
to deny this school q place in the con-
test, but since the students of this
school persisted in refusing TO accept the
decision Of the judges last year or TO
abide by the final decision of the Terri
torial Athletic association. therefore the
expulsion Of this school from the asso-
citation. In spite of this bit OF unpleas-
antness the contest was a spirited one
and was well attended. The Edmond
boys came over yesterday afternoon and
secured the Lee Hotel for their head
quarters and at once covered the halls
and corridors with their colors, so that
when the University boys arrived this
morning the town was to all appearances
an Edmond affair" Before the day
was over, however, all of the contestinS
schools had to recognize the university
as the victor of the day. Each school
was well represented by some very good
men. but in every event the boys from
Norman showed their superiority in
physical endurance and swiftness Of foot.
The records made. owing TO the heavy
rain last night, were not world breakers
yet they were such as the university
boys may look upon with pride. The con-
test was held at Colcord Park and an
immense throng OF the people of Okla
homa City turned out to thee the battle
for suprefacy. After four hours of ex-
citing contest the following results were
