cause of the great superiority of the
Sooner team, Oklahoma university
Monday afternoon overwhelmed the
Central state normal football team by
an 81 to 0 score.
The Sooners so far outclassed their

ers around the ends for long runs and
working the forward pass time after
time. the ''varsities" had the teachers
completely at their mercy and were
always masters of the situation. Not
once during the kick-fest was the
Sooner goal in danger.
The contest served to show that OK
lahoma is in the pink of condition anC

month at Joplin prepared to fight on'
of the greatest battles for football
supremacy that has ever been witness
