Oklahoma City Game.
From First Quarter Contest Was
Battle of Weight.
WILHELM NOT THERE.
Unable to Boot Ball Between
Posts in Three Trials.
Two Made From 40 Yard Line,
One From SO Yard Line.

Oklahoma City, Ok, Nov. 14-Okla-
homa sprang a surprise on Kansas Sat
urday. Had it not been for the lucky
tumble of Price, a Kansas end, in the
last part of the fourth quarter the
Sooners would have held the Jayhawk
ers to an to 0 game. Eight minutes
before the game ended Johnson called
for a forward pass from the Oklahoma
25-yard line. Price darted ahead 10
yards to receive the pass from Johnson.
As the short Kansas end reached for
the ball 1t struck the finger tips of his
appraised hand and bounded across the
goal line. NJ. Woods, left half of the
Sooners, recovered it and was thrown
back. Kansas being given two points
on the safety.
From the start of the first quarter
the Oklahomans fought fiercely, throw
ing every pound of their weight against
the Kansas line. Once during the first
period of the game they held Kansas
on the 15-yard line. A few minutes
later during the same quarter the Jay
hawkers pushed the sphere to within
10 yards of the goal and again the
Sooners held. Then they started
piercing the Kansas line and before the
quarter had ended had placed the bail
on the Kansas 25-yard line
OI1lahomans Improve in Second.
Romans did even better, carrying the
ball to the Jayhawker 10-yard line and
not allowing it to fall within the 80
yard zone on their side of the field.
In the third period, Oklahoma weak
ened slightly, but held twice on her 10
yard line. Three minutes before the
game ended Kansas again forced the
sphere to within 10 yards Of the Okla
homa goal line. Johnson rounded left
end for five yards but the Sooners
held on a final brace and punted out
of danger. In punting Johnson held a
lead of 10 yards over NJ. Woods. Kan
sas attempted a dozen forward passes,
making several long gains In the
third quarter a pretty one from John
son to Lynch netted 30 yards. But half
of them failed and practically discount
ed the ground gained.
Wilhelm. the Kansas drop kicker,
was unable to boot the ball between
the posts. Three attempts were fall
ures. Two were made from the 40-yard
line and a third from the 36-yard line.
His other work in the game, however,
was strong. Johnson played one of tho
7 st games of the season. His punts
were all long and his carrying netted
many substantial gains. Ammons.
Cowell. Davidson and Lynch worked

How Wilson G. Hunt, Alarmed by

in Yellow Money in Bank
Vault for Many Years.

Up to the time of his death in 1902
Frederick d. Tappan had been for half
a century one of the leading bankers
of New York city, and for years he
was the head of the metropolitan
clearing house.

banker when Commodore Vanderbilt
and Daniel Drew were strong men in
the financial destinies of the country.
1T was the so-called Bland silver
bill which was passed in 1878. and
which provided for the coinage of not
less than two million dollars worth
of silver bullion a month, that gave
Mr.. Wilson his great scare. But that
you may have a good understanding
of the incident, | want to say first
that. beside Mr. Wilson, there were
good many oldfashioned bankers and
men living upon their capital. or the

Why, do you know that even as

was enacted into law. Governor TIL

his fear that the country was going

thought that meant the cutting down

was to convert that exchange into

Tilden got over this scare earlier than
Mr.. Hunt did: at all events | never

But it came within my personal

Whether he bought exchange and con-

BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA

When my boy was six years old. he
suffered terribly with eczema. He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly in

would irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread. 1t
started in a small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until 1t very nearly covered the back
part OF his leg TO the knee.
