The student body here is expecting
good, hard game and will watch
with much interest the telegraphie 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
not been the hardest OF the schedule.
Last year arter winning from Mis-.

meut OF the Sooner players that the
game with Texas was the hardest of

Though they are expecting close
