game is to be played on the Texas
field and the Texans have an enyi-
able record since they have defeated
most OF the strong teams of the south
the terrible louisiana Tigers being
their latest victims. Nevertheless
Oklahoma expects to win and to win
by a decisive score. The team was
accorded one OF the grandest ovations
an aggregation of gridiron stars de-
parting to battle ever received, on
the day they left Norman and they
faced the foe at Austin knowing that
the high hopes of the student body at
home We're with them for a victory.
At the morning chapel exercises be-

dent body, with the president and all
the faculty combined to congratulate
the team once more because of It's
great showing against Kansas and
to assure its firm support.
Since the Kansas game the Soon
ers have kept steadily at the Cruel

they went to Texas trained to the
minute. The players all looked fit
TO enter the game of their lives and
every man of the seventeen who
made the long journey was in the
best of shape, since there was no
injured list after the Jayhawker
game Because freshmen are not
barred AS they were in the games
with Kansas and Missouri, Oklaho-

year against Texas and If the Long
horns win it will mean that their
team is among the very best in the
middle west.

follows: Rogers, left end; Coots'
left tackle; Wood, left guard; Thomp'
son Ccaptain), center; Moss, right
guard: Holt, right tackle; Clark,
right end. Ambrister, quarter; Cap

Reeds, fullback.
