Norman, Okla, Nov. 2G.-That the
near a thousand students who attend
the state university might be accord
ed the happy privilege of spending
the festal day with father and moth
er and telling their friends back home
the experiences of a youth away 10
college, President A Grant Evans, IN
pursuance OF a custom long observ-
ed at the big educational institution,
declared a holiday for almost week.
Classes We're suspended Wednesday
noon and will not be resumed until
Tuesday of this week. All day We'd
nesday and Thursday morning stu
dents were leaving the college town
for their homes over the state ana
every train leaving Norman was
crowded with jolly undergraduate
throngs, who made their presence
known by singing the university
songs and keeping the coaches In an
uproar in divers ways. Many parties
were made up and students who live
at a distance will either spend the va
cation with friends or remain in Nor
man, which will enjoy a week of fes-
tivity since everything is closed out
campus way and the books have been
for the time being cast aside. While
many departed before Thanksgiving,
others remained until the next day in
order to attend either the Thanks
giving bali given by the students or
the monster reception by the young
mems and young women's Christian
association of the college. The fact
that detailed reports of the Oklaho-
ma-Texas game would come in from
Austin Thursday afternoon also kept
many in Norman, while others stay
ed in Oklahoma City 10 see the game
on Colcord field between Epworth
and Texas Christian University
The Thanksgiving holiday is al
ways hailed with glee by the plod-
ding and .he indifferent student alike,
for it gives much needed rest af-
ter over two months of hard study
and prepares the student to enter up
on the final weeks of the first seme-
ser with renewed energy. To no one
is il more welcome than the youth
full freshman who is away from faith
ers domicile for the first time in his
life and often finds life a lonesome
enough proposition as he works away
at his books far from home and
frie,eds. He generally returns after
the holiday much more cheerful and
in great measure reconciled TO his
fate.
With a record for the season that
might well be the envy Of any team
aspiring to gridiron honors in the
southwest. the Oklahoma SOoners
continue hard training determined 10
vanuuish both Texas and Epworth
and wind up their great season with
only the defeat by Missouri at Jop-
lin against their record. While they
lost to Kansas by . TO 0 score. the
battle was as told by the press a
virtual victory for Oklahoma since
the Sooners We're the masters in all
departments of the game and of
course they do not count that fight
lost when reckoning the score for
the season. Since the team that left
last week to face Texas at Austin
on Thanksgiving day is far stronger
than the most formidable aggregation
which held the husky Jayhawkers In
check the fans can figure nothing but
4 vic-ory for owens prides when
taey cash with the wearers of the
0~anzs and white. To be sure the
