REVIEW OF FOOTBALL.
Oklahoma Came Through the Season
With Hioh Honors.

Norman, o. T., Dec. with the
Thanksgiving day game between the
''Terrible Swedeso and the ''Okla Cow
hoJs'' closed the most successful year on
record for Oklahoma.
1t has been commonly said that the
score does not show the strength of the
teams, and from Oklahoma's standpoint
this has been quite true. Also the games
won do not always show the seasons
success or failure Many things are to
be taken into consideration in determin-
Ing whether or not season has been
good one or a bad one for a football
team.
This season is really the first in which
Oklahoma has been recognized in foot
ball circles, but it is generally believed
that Oklahoma played such ball this sea-
son as will win for her a standing place
among the teams of the southwest. To
understand fully the progress that Ok
lahoma has made it would be necessary
to compare them with the two seasons
previous. Oklahoma university has held
the championship of the territory for six
years. Oklahoma played two games with
Texas last season, resulting in almost
complete shut-outs for her. She played
Win hlSSOuf1 ScHpOl bI hlItS, WHICH
team defeated her in score of % to 6.
These were practically all the games
played at that time. There were prac-
tically all the games Oklahoma played
at that time. This season The schedule
has been ful, to the limit and is as fol-
lows:
Oklahoma University SS, Chilocco Indi-
ans, 5.
Oklahoma University. 0; Kingfsher Col
lege, 0.
Oklahoma University. G; University of
Texas, 6.
Oklahoma University, G; 4. and N. Col
lege of Texas. 0.
Oklahoma University. II; Fairmount of
Wichita, 5.
Oklahoma University, 6; Kansas State
Normal school, 6.
Oklahoma University, 5; Kansas Uni
versity, II.
Oklahoma University. 3; University of
Texas, IL.
Oklahoma University, y; Missouri
School of Mines. 6.
Oklahoma University. 10; Bethany Col
lege. Kan, L.
Kansas University scored against Ok
lahoma II to 5. Oklahoma considers this
good showing for her first appearance
with one of the best teams in the west
and when The length of time each college
has played football is considered it does
not seem very bad after all.
The Bethany game resulted in i score
of 10 to II in favor of Kansas. That was
good score for Oklahoma against such
team, as the Swedes have played bail
along with the Kansas University.
The games matched for next season
show that Oklahoma has at least won a
recognition for herself if nothing else.
The schedule is not complete as all
dates have not been arranged, but the
following games will be played:
one game with Bethang College at Ok
iahoma City; one with Fairmount: one
with Missouri; one with l<ingnsher Col
lege one with the Chlocco Iidians. one
with Texas University at Dallas and one
at Oklahoma City; one with the 4. and
NJ. College of Texas in Texas, one with
Kansas University at Lawrence, and one
st Oklahoma City.
The past season Oklahoma had twenty
i've men to pick from The colleges she
has played against had hundreds to pick
from. Oklahoma had equipment barely
SufnclenI Ior one tSdih- Siie was mann
capped by finance. Indeed TO say the
least, she had labored under circum-
stances most distressing.
Next season is very promising. The
university is larger this year. II will be
larger next in all probability and thus
more material will be at hand to select
from. McCreary, who served as quarter
back. has been made captain for nex'
season. Mcmahon. who served as coacf
this season, states that he will not re
main for another season. The boys have
discussed having an eastern coach nex'
