With the exception of one or two dates.
When next season opens the gridiron
warriors Of Oklahoma win find . big
piece Of work before them.
Coach Bennie Owens has been busy

thlz work. he says. we will have by
far the heaviest schedule We have
ever had and the dates and places for
our big games are. with but one ex-
csption, in our favor. circumstance
that heretofore we have never been
able to arrange. The 1910 season win
mean more in football to Oklahoma
than any season since ! have been
here. and I might say. since the game
was started in the school This shows
that Oklahoma is rapidly advancing
in this branch Of athletics.
The season opens Sept. 80, when the
Sooners go to Edmond to meet Cen
ural State. This Is always the initial
game on the schedule. On Oct Z,
Klngfsher college appears on Boyd
field. Following this game. Oct IA,
Oklahoma A. and ~ holds the boards
at Norman Saltwater can never be
rated and they may spring the unex-
pected on the varsity. It is said that
their 1910 team will be a strong ones
but it will not be able to regain Still,
waters old time form These three
games VII! act as preliminaries tol
knock the rough edges of the men
when these have been played the men
ought to be hardened from the sum
mer's vacation and ready for the hard
and important games Of the season.
Nov. 5, comes the first big game Of
the year. when Oklahoma's old enemy.
the Texas 'Long-horns," journey TO
Norman. Football fans are already
figuring out the dope for this game
and they say there is no way that the
Texans have chance to win. Texas
had sweet revenge last season by
hanging a 80 to defeat on Oklahoma
at Austin. Texas. This Offset the
worst defeat Texas ever experienced
when, the year before. Oklahoma stung
them 50 TO o. and now the rub is at
hand Oklahoma Is bound to win and
has all the dope her way. Owens and
his men want to show their followers
that the game last season was all a
mistake

if she wins. that she has been lucky,
very lucky
The date for the game with the
University Of Missouri has not been
definitely settled but it will be played
some time during the latter part OF
October at Joplin. Mo Here again
Oklahoma meets a big one. but the
sooners are not very well acquainted
with the Tigers and consequently
can not rate their strength.
Nov. is, the Durant college team
viii play at Norman and this team
viii serve as tonic for the team in
preparation for the Thanksgiving Day
game and viii kill any staleness the
team may have suffered.
The Thanksgiving Day game is yet
to be arranged and one or two other
good games viii be booked to complete
the schedule. The games with Kansas
Missouri and Texas will be the big
cards for 1910. A game with Epworth
university win no doubt be arranged
but the date has not yet been select
ed. Coach Owens is going to work
out a system Of new plays for next
season. Another departure from local
athletic rule may be an attempt at a
training table.
