Once again the indicator begins to
point to the dope that chickasha high
is again to come into her own as the
champs oS the southwest and in an
enthusiastic moment one is almost
prone to issue the statement that our
heroes" will bring the laurel wreath
home and place 1t at the feet Of Chick
asha, establishing this berg at the
crest Of the highest pinnacle on the
scholastic football map.
The aspirants for championship hon
ors among the high school teams have
fallen one by one before the deter
mined onslaughts of the indomitable
Chickasha spirit, the spirit that is not
to be denied, and the home warriors
have LETT every bloody gridiron this
season with the wreath OF victory rest

scalps Of their luckless opponents
dangling weirdly from their belts.
Many and fierce have been their bat
ties, none Of which have been more
picturesque than the FL Reno invas-

alike, though the coming out was amid
veritable maelstrom of abuse ana
flying missiles from the side lines.
Lindsay, Anadarko, Apache, all fell
easy victims before the prowess Of the
locals who reached the height Of this

scholastic football world, namely, Nor

bers, was one of the most grueling con
tests ever staged in Oklahoma, with
the betting odds all in Norman's
favor, bu Chickasha registered a close
but clean victory over them and there
by, as was later demonstrated, cinched
The state championship. After the
game, the doubling Thomases said
"Chickasha won luck game over
