PLANNING To
PLAY GAME
NEXT WEEK

Chickasha's football busters" are
still in the swing with a whack at the
state championship. The champion
ship will be played off at Oklahoma
City at an early date, possibly next
week. For several days during the
earlier part of the present week it
looked as though the game might be
either staged for today or Saturday of
this week, but delays in the matter Of
deciding the question which the state
high school athletic association now
has under consideration, the question
which involves the playing by Cher
okee and Norman of ineligible men,
has caused the date of the final or
championship game to remain unde-
cided.
1t now seems certain, however that
Chickasha will be on hands when the
final struggle comes. Eliminating
Cherokee and Norman the contestants
will be Oklahoma City, Chickasha and
either Pawhuska or Tulsa. Should
the game played by Pawhuska and the
oil metropolis be decided soon. the
winner by that decision will have the
right to challenge the winner of the
Oklahoma-Chickasha team.
Coach Reeds stated this morning
that the Chickasha boys, who had bro
ken training some days ago when 1t
looked as though they would not have
a whack at the state championship,
were training hard and were again in
the pink of condition. Mr.. Reeds said
that the Chickasha warriors all had
their war paint on, their hatchets
sharpened and had taken their wal
bonnets out Of the moth balls with the
intention of going to Oklahoma City
after the Oklahoma City scalps. "And
they win get them too" said Mr.
Reeds. 'Give the Chickasha boys foe
men who are in anything like the
same class as they themselves are
and they cannot be beaten

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Interven-

among Democratic senators arising
over the reelection of Senator Clark
of Arkansas as president pro-tempore
and over the cloture rule, is said today
