A HARD FOUGHT Came

entire game the Oklahoma Aggies went
down to defeat by the narrow mar
gin OF one touchdown here today,
when Reeds, fullback for the Okla
homa university eleven went over the
! goal Line and Courtright kicked goal.
This game carried with II the cham
pionship OF the state and was Incl
| dentally the lowest score that the ok
/ lahoma Sooners have ever been held
to by the Aggles. The dope had Il
that the Sooners were more than forty
| points stronger than their opponents,
! but the lighting spirit exhibited by
the collegians Offset the heretofore
sensational playing of the present
champions,
The only score Of the game came
in the second quarter after the uni
versity eleven rushed down the field
with the wind to their backs and sue
cecded in crossing the goal line OF the
Aggies, thing that had never been
accomplished before this season. The
struggle was fierce and hard fought
throughout and until tho final whistle
blew 1t looked like anybody's game.
After the touchdown by Reed the ball
was kept practically in the middle Of
the field with one side or the other
in possession. Twice the Aggie had
splendid opportunity to score, when
passes, which If held would have Civ
en- the runner an open field ahead,
were fumbled. The Sooners got with.
in striking distance Of the Aggies' goal
in the final quarter, but were held on
the three-yard line and had to give
the ball to the locals.
Three times the Asgies took the
ball on downs from the Sooners, while
the reverse happened only once. Reeds
and Weaver engaged in a punting
battle in which the former, the yeter-
an booter from Norman, had a slight |
advantage
The game was clean throughout, al |
though the Sooners were penalized
three times and the Angles twice. No
spectacular playing was evident, the
nearest to a feature was Reeds 30
yard run around end for the longest
gain of the game.
The straight football tactics emf
ployed by the Aggies, gained as much
ground as the fake and open plays
frequently used by the Sooners.
Only three times did the a. 4 M.
team try passes and not one was sue
cessful, while the university resorted
to having the pass for nearly half
their plays, but only made three
count for gains,
The individual players who showed
to advantage were Campbell Hager
Kite, Marker and Woodson for the
Aggies and Reeds, Courtrght, Cap
shaw and Lowery for the Sooners.
