The CHAMP. HONORS
In GRIDIRON BATTLE
Defeats Oklahoma City by Score 20 to
7---Norman Victor of Shawnee
Puts Locals at Head Of List---
Scrubs and Purcell PIayTie

With ideal football weather on tap
anu before one Of the largest crowds
OF the season, Chickasha high put the
skids under Oklahoma City Friday
afternoon on the University gridiron,
and sent them flying down the ladder
t5 a point called elimination" in the
race for the high school football
championship. When the smoke Of
battle cleared away the score stood.
chickasha 20, Oklahoma City 6.
Even at that Beachs squad did not
put up a true Chickasha game and had
there been three more days Of such
inactivity as the team enjoyed last
week, the result might have been vast
II different Over confidence exuded
from every pore Of the home tribe to
which was largely due Oklahoma's
lone touchdown Had the squad pat
up the battle they did against Norman,
the lads from the metropolis could not
have gott5 close enough to Chicka-
sha's soal % zee it with pair of field
glasses, and Chickasha's score would
hare reached so.
While Chickasha was trimming Ok
lahoma City here, Norman and Shaw
nee were engaged in bitter struggle
at Norman, Shawnee fighting against
elimination from the race and Norman
to maintain her reputation Of never
having been defeated on her home
grounds. This reputation Norman
sustained when after battling to an
apparent standstill with the heavier
Shawnee squad, WALES kicked field
goal from shawnee's p yard line and
won the game for Norman. This vie
, tory for Norman coupled with the
Norman defeat by Chickasha, elm
mates Shawnee and places Chickasha
at the top OF the ladder, with the state
scholastic championship tucked safely
under her arm, and it is not necessary
that Shawnee and Chickasha play off
their scheduled game The local squad
