POWER OF REPENTANCE.
Rev. Father Brosnan Speaks at the
Sacred Heart Church.

Rev A. p. Brosnan, professor of phil
osophy in Georgetown University, spoke
at the Sacred Heart Church, Fourteenth
street near Park road northwest, last
night on Repentance and mercy"
He developed the two elements in true
sorrow against the teachers of reform
and the followers OF Luther Afterward
the sources Of repentant tears were
dwelt upon. Illustrations were taken
from the despair of Judas Iseariot in
Scripture.
Father Brosnan called attention TO the
effectiveness of repentance. THAT it has
power 10 win pardon from God is an
absolute certainty" he said, and l may
say not one soul is lost TO God that did
not have ample opportunity TO repent
Repentance is remunerated with mercy"

Dashing, Registering PetruchiO

MANAGER Butler has given evidence OF
his desire to please the best class of
theatre-eoers in this city by booking Chas
B. Hanford in the scenic revival of The
Tanning Of the Shrew' which will be seen
at the Auditorium on Tuesday Nov, H..
This play is regarded by authorities as
the most amusing of Shakespeare's come
dies. There is no modern force which
can equal it in respect of genuine fun.
Nearly every line in the play conceals a
laugh and every situation is a mine OF
merriment. As the dashine. registering

v|N|TA MAY PLAY
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
Norman High School Puts Oklaho-
ma City out of Running for State
Trophy-Will Play at Norman

The Vinita high school will probably
play Norman on Thanksgiving Day to de-
termine the state championship, as Nor
man Saturday defeated the Oklahoma
City team that decided the championship
of the west side. Vinita will probably 60
10 Norman, as the Norman team cannot
come here, and the local boys would rath-
er 80 there than lose the opportunity to
contest the state championship.
The following is the Oklahomans ac-
count Of Saturdays game;
In a heart-breaking game Oklahoma
City lost the High school football cham
pionship Of the state at Norman Saturday
in the college town by score of II to 6,
Norman scored the winning touchdown
with but minute left to play. The Ok
lahoma boys protested the decision which
allowed the ball to be carried over and
finally left the field, forfeiting the game.
The local team swept the o. U. under
studies off their feet at the opening OF
the game and scored in the first six min
utes, York being pushed over for the
touchdown. Martin kicked the goal. Nor
mans weight then began to tell Playing
mostly through the line it carried the ball
the length Of the field. only to lose it on a
tumble. In turn Oklahoma City got close
to Normans goal line but was unable to
score. With the ball once more in the
center of the field c. Geyer broke through
Oklahoma City's line, blocked punt and
tore SO yards for a touchdown from which
no goal was kicked.
The second half was one long desperate
struggle on the part of the local boys to
stave off Normal score. Norman's SUI
perior weight finally prevailed and in the
last few minutes of play Collins was push
ed over for the winning touchdown. He
fumbled just as he went over but had the
ball down on the line with one hand on II
and the score was allowed to stand. Ok
lahoma City left the field as protest
against the decision.
A big gcrowd of rooters that accompanied
the local team to Norman on a special
train were bitterly disappointed at losing
the game and the championship after both
had so nearly been won. Oklahoma City
on the whole put up the cleverer game
but Normans weight was an advantage
not to be overcome.
