SOONERS READY FOR BATTLE
WITH KANSAS JAyHAWK

Columbia, Mo, Nov. 1O-Bennie
Owen, coach of the Sooner football
team of Oklahoma, which has been
training here this week, has many
things to be thankful for, he says, and
because of them he figures his band
of fighters is going to do something
to Kansas Saturday.
Here is the list he has figured up
since he arrived here with his team
last Saturday morning: A victory
over Missouri, a speeding team, some
new plays, confidence of victory over
Kansas, and greatest of all, team
trained on good Missouri cooking and
blue grass.
That last came after he had been
asked the condition of his team. "The
food we've been getting up here is
several hundred per cent better than
we did at Norman, and it's put the
men on edge to play the greatest game
of their lives. This Missouri blue
| grass we've been practicing over gives
touch of joy to the work that we
never got down in Oklahoma. I've
got gingery squad just now, but they
know they have an awfully hard game
Saturday. The fight against Missouri
taught us some real football, and the
hard signal work this week makes the
squad much better We have a few
plays and a speed We didn't have Sat
urday."
Owen left with his squad of nineteen
men at 8 O'Clock last night They went
to Centralia to spend the night, and
then to Kansas City this morning. In
the afternoon they will run signals on
the field of the Kansas City Athletic
Club. Saturday morning it will be for
Lawrence and the big game-the big
gest on the Sooners' schedule-that
afternoon.
Comparative scores award Oklahoma
the best of the argument against Sher-
wins fighters. Two weeks ago they
trounced Washburn, 81 to 0, and the
best Kansas could do last Saturday
was IA to 6, although Washburn's team
was then much stronger. Delaney's
kicking is given as the chief cause of
Washburn's defeat, and it is likely that
he will be big figure in Saturday S
outcome. To meet that, Owen has two
good kickers who should be able to
boot out few scores. Reeds, the tall
fuilback, handled all of the punting
against Missouri and he got away with
any number of good, high spirals that
were easy TO get down under. Cap
shaw, half-back, made one pretty field
goul and his drop and place kicks in
this weeks practice have been excel
lent.
The Oklahoma lineup will be the
same that went against the Tigers,
Ambrister, Reeds. Captain Capshaw
and Courtwright playing the backfield
The entire squad is in almost perfect
condition, not having gone through a
scrimmage since the Tiger game. Each
Afternoon this week it has been three
hours of running down punts, signals
and forward passing Owen had ex-
pected to engage the Tigers in a
friendly scrimmage before he left here
but after thinking the matter over
again he decided not to risk it.

ANSWER Of SCHOOL
BOARD IS FILED
Commissioners in Reply to Treasurer
Dunlop Before Supreme Court
Make Showing of Funds.

Oklahoma City, Nov. 10.-Answer of
the state board of school land commits
sioners to the suit of Attorney Gen
eral West in the name of State Treas
urer Dunlop for custody of state school
land money has been prepared by
Judge James H. Chambers, attorney
for the land department, and was filed
in the supreme court yesterday.
State Treasurer Dunlop alleges that
the law makes the state treasurer the
sole custod an of state funds and that
the land commissioners may possess
no more than $500 at one time. The
department now has on deposit with
banks in the state total of about
100000. The boards answer admits
that at the time the enabling act was
adopted there was law providing that
school money shall be delivered to the
state treasurer as rapidly as collected,
but that it was repealed by law of the
first legislature known as Art. II of
chapter 76 of the 1907-08 session laws.
It further AYERS that money derived
(as we'll as the land itself from Sec
tions 16 and SO, and all land taken in
lieu thereof and the $5,O00,000 donated
the new state by congress, constitutes
permanent school fund and that the
law referred to authorizes the land
commissioners to loan, invest and de-
posit the same"
The answer also states that bills
were offered in the last legislature hav-
ing for their purpose the conversion
of all money held by the board of land
commissioners into the state treasury,
but when it was explained to the leg
islature how the board managed and
kept the state funds the bills failed of
passage, save the secretary and all
employees of the department were plac-
ed under bond. Both bills, the answer
says, were advocated by the state
treasurer.
Answering that portion of the peti
ton charging that by reason of the
money being held by the board of land
commissioners the state has lost an
income on daily balances, the answer
AYERS that the department since state.
hood has collected $120,712 in interest
at the rate of 8 per cent on daily bal
ances, all of which has been placed in
the school fund whereas had this
money been handled by the state treas
urer, the answer says, that sum would
have been placed in the general rev
enues and therefore lost to the school
fund. The answer also shows that a
total of $4,936, ,6S9.71 school money is
invested in farm loans and county and
public building bonds.
1t is contention of the commits
sioners that they are proper custodians
of other funds now held by the state
treasurer, and in asking that the suit
be dismissed requests an order of ac
counting from the treasurer, partieu
larly as to funds known as Sec. 13
state educational and institutional
fund, public building fund, new col
lege fund, Greer county, Sec. 33, knowr
as union, graded and consolidated dis
trict fund, the amounts of which are
not known.

The newspaper men OF tho state
are beginning to give some evidence
OF possessing back bones. At meet
ing OF the officers and executive com
mittces OF tho three state associa-
tions held in Denver Monday. IL was
decided to take firm stand against
tho passage OF any Legislation having
for its purpose the reduction OF fees
for legal printing. Bills have been in
troduccd beth in the senate and
house. providing for fec OF about
one-half the present legal rate for
the printing OF initiated and referred
laws. AS the rate for legal printing
in Colorado is already much lowor
than thct OF any other state, the
newspaper boys decided that they
would let the Legislature know that
they would not accept printing for
any less than they arc now receiving.

the United States As our readers know the
crowding of the cattle out of many section OF the
range by the sheep has been attended by much
bitterness and controversy There are three prn-
cipal species of range sheep. The old Mexico
sheep the direct descendants OF the original
Spanish Merinos. brought over two hundred years
ago by the Spaniards in Old Mexico. They nave
long legs; long. thin body. and the wool is fine

driest of ranges. Often they outsell all other
sheep for the meat has excellent flavor and
the hide is thin. firm and soft. These original
Mexican sheep have been largely graded with Me
rino rams In New Mexico and southern Colorado.
The New Mexico sheep, as they are denominated,
are smalbodied sheep, and although they never
grow very large they get very fat. They bring
good prices, for the same reasons that obtain In
