LACK OF VIM SHOWN
BY Y|A|TA HIGH SCOOL

Although outweiged by Vinita high
school by several pounds, the Wago-
ner high school football team put up
game against the local team yes
terday afternoon that could not but
arouse the admiration of all true low
ers of football Vinita played with
out the usual vim and in the last quar-
ter the Wagner boys by sensational
forty yard run and a neatly executed
forward pass crossed the goal for
touchdown, the only one they made
in the game This team ought not to
have scored had Vinita been playing
up to form. Considering their weight
the Wagner team played the best
football seen here this season and
time after time able to hold the heav-
Ter local team for downs, Weight
and speed were in favor OF the Vinita
boys, however, and they we're able to
pile three touchdowns and drop kick
for goal In the first half. That was
enough to give them the game. Dam
eron, Carter, Bailey and Beard were
consistent ground gamers as usual
and to them is due Vinita's score In
spite of the listless manner In which
Vinita seemed to play there were
some exciting plays and sensational
tackles Several times Wagner play.
ers got away for long runs with an
open field only to be run down by the
speedier vinita players Final score
Vinita %, Wagner z
If vinita is to win against Musko-
gee and Tulsa and again bring the
eastern Oklahoma high school cham
pionship to this city the players will
have to get into the game with more
life than was shown yesterday The
material of the local team is of the
championship calibre but it will take
more hustle.

Gentlemen AS representative OF
the taxpayers of this city, your at.
tention is directed to the urgent ne
cessity of the employment of an as.

time ago, and in order to substantiate
my position in this matter. your at
tention is respectfully directed to a
number OF civil and criminal matters
in the county court and district court
of this county. | find that a number
lof cases have been appealed from the
police court to the county and to the
district courts, and among all the
cases appealed have found that only
one case has been tried. find that
two cases have been dismissed in the
county court, and that four have been
dismissed in the district court, and
that motion to strike has been sus-
tanned in three in the district court.
To this | attribute lack of the proper
preparation of criminal complaints in
the police court, and vigorous prose-
cution of these causes after they are
appealed Such procedure is held up
to ridicule, and is regarded as farce
and travesty by the taxpayers OF
this city.
On today Judgment was taken
against the city of vinita by default in
the sum of $500 and in this case ]
personally prepared a demurrer with
in the proper time to plead, and plac-
ed it in the hands of Mr.. w. NJ. Simms,
the city attorney, with instructions to
file same, and the records of the office
where such pleadings are filed do not
disclose that this demurrer was ever

squah. A large crowd of students were
at the station to give the team send
off and a number of the most ardent
of the Sooner boosters accompanied
the team.
The student body here is expecting
a good, hard game and will watch
with much interest the telegraphic re-
ports of the game. Those who re-
member the history of the past games
with Texas are inclined to take rather
lightly the reported poor condition
and the lack of fighting spirit of the
Texans; for it has been but seldom
that the game with the Longhorns has
mot been the hardest of the schedule
Last year arter winning from Mis-
souri, and Kansas, it was the judg-
ment Of the Sooner players that the
game with Texas was the hardest of
the entire schedule
Though they are expecting a close
game there Is no question in the minds
of the loyal Sooner fans that Bennie's
proteges will subdue the Longhorns.
In the lineup that win face the Texans
there are missing but two men, AS.
sistant Coach Capshaw and Bill Moss.

last year. There are but siv or seven
veterans on the Texas team The new
|men on the Oklahoma team are w.
Clark, brother of Captain Glenn Clark,
a husky sophomore, weighing 1870
pounds. Wits his stocky build and his
Exceptional speed for his weight, he
should play his opponent off his feet
Weeden, at fullback, another man who
did not play in the Texas game last
year, was given his letter last year
for his consistent playing in all the
minor games and was dubbed the
''plunging" fullback. This year, he is
expected to be one of the teams SEN
sations. The other man, new to the

ed by the Oklahomans last year and
the year before.
Equally eager are the visitors from
the north who arrived Friday night
and went directly to their hotel where
they retired early. Coach Owen ex-
poets to have his men out early Sat
urday morning for little warming up
practice on the gridiron where they
will battle in the AFTERNOON. Owen
refused to be interviewed Friday night
as to his predictions concerning the
outcome of the contest. He stated his
men were in good condition and that
the morrow would tell which team was
the best.
That he would rather have had the
big game week later in the schedule
was the statement of Coach Alder
dice of the Texans, for he does not
believe they have had the proper
amount of hard playing together as a
team to bring them to their full
strength
CASTOR park, where the struggle will
be held is an ideal field for the grid
iron contest Soft, cushiony grass will
make severe injuries to players very
improbable, yet is not so soft as to
retard progress of the runners. Heavy
rains of the past few days also has
softened the field Fair weather is
promised for Saturday
With, twenty-six men on the Texas
squad and twenty on the Oklahoma
aggregation, the coaches said Friday
they were not positive of the exact
lineup of Saturdays contest. But it
is believed that five Dallas men will
be on the Texas eleven when the
teams line up for the kickoff. In all
probability Sellars will start the game
at left end for the Texans; Berry at
left tackle Knauer, left guard Muir
ray, center; Keck. right guard; Jor-
dan, right tackle; Woodruff (capt)
right end; Pruett, quarterback; Bar
rell, left half; Nible. fullback; Brown,
right halfback. The center men in
the line are uncertain, for there are
many strong men for center and
guards Pritchett, Harold, Halbert
and others may be started at these
positions
OF the eleven men who will start
the game for Oklahoma, eight Of them
were on the team which opposed the
Longhorns last year These men are
Spears, center; Meacham, left guard !;
Hott, right tackle; Clark, right end :;
Rogers, left end; Courtwright, lef half
back; Reeds, righ halfback and Am
brister, quarterback.

James Mcfarland appeared befo >
the Judge on the charge of drunken
ness and he maintained that he had
not touched a drop of liquor for 20
days. The evidence of the officers,
however, was that they had found
him lying intoxicated on slab pile,
and that so profoundly was he under
the influence of liquor that a convey
ance was necessary to take him to
the city jail The Judge doubled the
sentence for him for falsifying, CIV
ing him five days.
