"Oh. yes Those fellows are high
school boys all right-with the em
phasis on the boys. You see, they
have a good lineup OF moonlight
sc,iedls up at Cherokee and in order
10 keep the moonlight division filled
they go out in the hedges and bitches
and stone quarries and farms and ma.
chine shops and manual training
camps and round these huskies up
and run EN- down with dogs. Cher
okee is long on moonlight schools.
She has to have 'em in order to keep
her football camp filled"
So spake a Chickasha Junior yester-
day as the lines of chickasha withered
and fell away from the giants OF Cher
okee like waves dashed to pieces and
disintegrated when wind-driven on a
rock-bound shore. "Say. I'm going to
play in the Chickasha team next sea
son. but I'm going out on some farm
during the summer and get me a JOB
splitting rails added the Junio-.
When the game ended the score
stood 3s to Z in favor Of Cherokee.
One thing that may be said about
the chickasha football team--they are
eood losers.
And. with a grim determination they
fight TO the last ditch and hf.ng on
with bulldog tenacity even when they
know they are whipped-no, not
whipped, for the Chickasha lads have
never been whipped. but overpowered.
In yesterdays contest with the
giants from Cherokee, II was fight
OF pluck and skill against beef,
muscle and science. The Chickasha
Says were outweighed and stood no
earthly show from the start Of holding
in check the avoirdupois which hurled
and hurtled and crashed and crushed
through their lines The home team
had science; the home team had skill;
the home team had the advantage OF
playing on its own gridlron. but 1t was
an unfortunate case of scienced Cen
tleman jim Corbett boxing the oppo-
nent with the heavier weight, the
longer reach and ample skill. The
Cherokee boys were not high school
boys Of the ordinary type-they were
huskios, they had age and muscle and
weight. They came against the Chick
asha boys science like the tidal wave
of the limitless ocean came against
the science-built sea wall at Galveston
and by main strength swept aside all
that science had builded.
But, say. Give the rush and the
crush and the Bull Moose and all that
dope to Cherokee, but don't forget,
whatever you do. to hand the noise to
the Chlckasha high school rooters.
The girls and boys on the hurrah line
did more in the boosting line than has
any other bunch championing any
other team this season.
If the Chickasha boys had have had
the muscle to have backed their own
science and the lung work of their
supporters of the high school, they
would have won the game hands down.
They certainly had the moral support
Why. even the grass and the fences
caught on fire, actual fire. in real
boosting for the home team. And
when the score had gone so far against
the home boys that the tide OF defeat
could not be stemmed and turned to
victory. the very sun, the great King
of Day, blushed with anger and hid
his face for the span Of twelve long
hours.
Commenting on the game one OF the
high school boys said;
eIf rep could have won a game the
victory would have surely been ours.
University park was alive with the
deaf rendering yells that came from
the excited threats of a multitude OF
,oval rooters that were for our team,
win or lose. Purple and gold flags
and pennants waved to and fro in ner-
vous Jerks as the two teams clashed
for highest honors. Both teams played
great football. Chickasha tried their
