HIGH SCHOOL AWAY
TO A GOOD START


Tulsa high school football team
made a good start Friday for a fine
finish this season, when they played
the strong second team Of Kendall
college to q scorelcss tie game. This
lis much more than they had expected
for three Of the college men are cA-
pcricnced players.
The one great thing needed on the
high school team at present IS speed.
This was sadly lacking in their first
game, and il may be that they have
not had time to develop that po.u..
Setser, at ~fullback, is the only con-
sistent player on the baCkfield and
the only one who mas showed au.-
bursts Of speed. Miller at quarter Is
q fast man but he does not get
chance to show his speed when play
ing c.osc behind center. He is of Use
in that place only when a line buck
is played.
The line was very noticeably weak
in the first game. Time after time
the backfield charged into the line
only TO be pushed back by the OPP
%ponents. Burton was the only line
man who played a good, consistent
and strong game throughout. Failure
to charge low was another great fault
of the heavy men. These faults can
be worked with this week so the mon
can go into the game mex Friday

Of the two, and showed up well in the
game Friday. Becaus" the line was
not holding, forward passes were hard
to complete, Setser having to throw
before the ends could get down the
field.

heavy line and the markings of q fast
backticld there is no reason why the
local high school team cannot win
the eastern Oklahoma championship

school schedule for games within the
next few weeks.
The team has been picked for the
rest Of the games this year, and will
be the same players who opposed the

and Sands comprise the backficll.
The average weight Of the entire team
is estimated at 100 pounds.
Coach Baker has been drilling his
men on the defensive for the last
week, and he was well pleased with
the result Of the game Friday. Bel.

was the defense.
