No One Beat Oklahoma Football
Team This Year.

Norman, Ok, Dec 13=Winning
every game on its 1911 schedule, fin
ishing the season the champions of the
southwest and conquering two of the
strongest teams in the Missouri valley
conference the football team OF the
University of Oklahoma, made the
best record of any team of college
rank in the United States. It was the
only high class college eleven which
went through the season winning eV-
cry game and its comparative scores
also were much better than those of
any other team.
Following is the record of the eleven
during the season:

homa 8. Kansas O.
November 20, at Norman-Oklaho-
ma 81, Northwestern Norma1s. s.
November 80. at Austin-Oklahom
s, Texas 3.
In the three big games of the sea-
son with Missouri, Kansas and Texas
but thirteen players were used in the
contests, one change being made at
while the Tigers replaced
eight of their regulars with fresh men,
no change being made at Kansas,
" lille the Jayhawkers sent in eight
new men, and but one change was
made at Texas, as compared with six
changes made by the Longhorns.
In the scoring Of points the Car
Isle Indians have a record nearest to
that of the Sooners. That school piled
up count of 2S6 points. four points
more than the total count of Okla
homa, but it took part in eleven con-
tests, while the Sooners had but eight
games on their schedule The average
score of the Indians per game was Is,
that of Oklahoma IS 4. The oppOn-
ents of Carlisle combined scored 43
points while those of the Sooners reg
istered but 10, Carlisle lost one game,
