ARDMCRE HIGH SCHOOL
WINS BOTH CAVES

Friday night was indeed a gala
occasion for the Ardmore High
school. The girls basketball team
faced the hitherto undefeated Mariet-
ia aggregation while the boys faced
the team of the Oklahoma School for
the Deaf. which took the laurels from
\. II. 5. in football last fall.
The girls game started at 7:i5
and for the next fifteen minutes was
neck and neck until the whistle blev
for the end of the first half. The ball
was kept passing continuously, neither
team having many chances at the
goal. At the end of the first half
the score stood 10 to IL in favor Of
Ardmore.
After the short ten-minute inter-
mission, the A. H. S. girls went back
into the fight with all the pep and
determination for which the school
is noted. without exception, the A.
II. S. girls played with the old do
or die spirit. The Marietta girls were
also playing fast and hard, striving
10 maintain their records. Slowly
but surely. however, the score in
creased for both teams, but by dint
Of hard lighting and sunerior team
work. the 4. H. S. managed to forge

blew the score stood: 4. H. S. 90;

GIRL 5! HAVE WAW,
THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM OlNDRUFF
Save Your hair! Double its beauty
in few moments
Try This!

If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an incompatible soft
ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try
Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it i'm
mediately dissolyes every particle Of
dandruff. This destructive scurf robs
the hair of its lustre, its strength
and its very life, and if not overcome
it produces a feverishness and itch
ing of the scalp; the hair roots fam
ish, loosen and die; then the hair
falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected
and is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or
too oily, get a 25-cent bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine at any drug
store or toilet counter; apply a little
as directed and ten minutes after
you will say this was the best in
vestment you ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless OF
everything else advertised, that If
you desire soft, lustrous, beautiful
hair and lots of it-no dandruff-no
itching scalp and no more falling
hair-you must use Knowltons Dan
derine If eventually-why not now?

STREET AND
BRIDGE FUND
EXHAUSTED
BONDS ARE VOTED, THE
STREET CLEANING AND RE-
PAIRING GANG WILL BE DlSCON-
TlNUEO UNTIL JUNE.

The street and bridge fund of the
city is practically exhausted and un-
less some stringent measures are
adopted to raise money the citizens
will have to clean their own pave
ments and repair the streets until
the beginning of the next fiscal year.
Mayor Mullen issued a statement
yesterday morning, in which he sets
forth the facts very clearly and until
funds are available, the street crew
will be all retired Monday morning.
The mayor, however, has issued call
for a mass meeting for Monday morn
ing, in order to get the sentiment of
the citizens on a bond issue to con
tinue the work.
Following is the signed statement
issued by the mayor Saturday:
"A mass meeting will be held at
the city hall at eleven o'clock Mon
day morning, January 81.
"There is in the street and bridge
fund eleven dollars and nine cents,
this amount to run until the 31st
of June of this year. 1t will be
necessary to lay off all street EN-
ployes, even the street sprinkler,
and the people who clean the paved
streets unless we get some money,
and the only way this can be done
is to vote bonds, and this will have
TO be done AT ONCE If you are
in favor of the bonds, be present;
if YOU are against the bonds, be
present. NOW LISTEN. the 31st day
of January this year. WHICH is MON
day, all street men will have to
CEASE WORK because ther is no
money to pay them and we cannot
get money except by subscription or
voting bonds. With one or two more
rains like we have Just had, the
streets. instead Of having little
trenches will have large bitches. It
is up to you to be present, and say
something. Especially should the mem
bers of the Ardmore Automobile as
sociation be present.
"REMEMBER, | have not the mon
ev to fix your streets, and the boys
cannot work without pay. This is not
a town of nine thousand people as

ticuar exhibition of playing, but that
of Cora Dyer, at running center for
Ardmore is especially worthy of men
tion-playing with a tireless and un'
waverirg determination, she was ey'
erywhere on the floor, and never
faltered in her play. For Marietta,
the excellent guarding of Nora Pitt
man and the basketshooting of Lille
Mae Davis, were the features Of their
team play.
The teamwork of the A. II. s. was
a wonderful exhibition of head-work,
and the combination of Dyer-Holland
and Daniel was unbeatable. The
lineup was as follows
Center-Verna Freeman, Ardmore,
Ida Pruitt (Capt) Marietta.
Guard-Gertrude Cunningham and
Elizabeth Dyer (Capt) Ardmore;
Willie Askew, Nora Pittman, Marietta.
Forward-Ossie Daniel and Gladys
Holland, Ardmore; Vivian Pittman,
Lille Mae Davis, Marietta.
Running Center-Cora Dyer, Ard
more; Lou Ella Davis, Marietta.
After the girls game, short in
termission was allowed before the
boys game started. From the be-
ginning the Ardmore boys proved
that they were more than a match
for the visitors. Within a minute
after the game was begun, "Ffsh"
Williams at forward began his ma
chine-gun basket-shooting, and from
that time on, the Ardmore goal was
never in serious danger Fired with
a desire to wipe out the defeat Of
last fall, the boys rushed the ball
up and down the floor with excellent
teamwork, making goal after goal.
The visitors failed to make a single
field goal and only managed to cap
ture two foul goals. The final score
stood Ardmore %; Oklahoma School
for the Deaf, 2.
The Ardmore team has shown quite
an improvement since their contest
with Wynnewood two weeks ago. Sew
eral new faces have appeared in the
local lineup and every man is fighting
to hold his place. The teamwork is
rapidly developing, and the bdvs are
looking forward to a successful sea-
son.
The lineup was as follows:
Center-Colbert (Capt)
Right Forward-Williams.
Left Forward-Trice, Lacy.
Left Guard-Woodward, Coleman.
Right Guard-Carpenter Ratliffe.
The management wishes to express
its appreciation for the excellent
spirit and loyalty shown by the stu
dent body and patrons during this
season. We cannot but feel that we
are indebted in a large measure to
them for our success. With such
backing we look forward to a most
successful season in A. II. S. athletics.

BUSINESS MEN OF THIS CITY

AGREED UPON.

Twenty-Five progressive business
men of this city have affixed their
signatures to a contract, binding them
selves to guarantee the New York
Philharmonic orchestra the price ask
ed for two concerts, namely, two
thousand dollars, and the contract
has been signed, which guarantees
the appearance of this great organi-
zation in the city the afternoon and
night of April rs.

the subject was first broached Ard
more has suffered some fearful re-
verses within the past year, and when
Mr.. Ellser, the representative of the
booking agents, first proposed the
subject it seemed an impossible task.
However, a trial was made, with the
result that a few business men, who
are also music lovers, got behind the
proposition and agreed to be person
ally responsible for the cost.
The Chamber of Commerce will
make arrangements to have eXcur-
sons run here from nearby cities in
order to give the people of southern
Oklahoma a chance to hear the third
oldest orchestra in the world
The New York Philharmonic Or
chestra is the oldest organization of
its kind in America, and the third
oldest in the world. The Philhar-
monte society of New York enters
upon its seventy-fourth season this
year. Founded in 1912, the playing
of this institution has each year kept
pace with the highest ideals and aims
of the men who founded it three
quarters of a century ago.
This season finds the Philharmonic
so equipped that it is today regard
ed as an orchestra without superior
in the world. The careful changes,
thirteen in all and principally among
the violins, that have been made since
last year, are the consummation of
Josef Stranskys constructive ideas.

that followed one of last seasons
concerts. "Stransky's conducting is
remarkably virile. brilliant and in
spring" the critic continued, "and he
has succeeded in making the Phil
harmonic second to no orchestra in
the world" This is an example of
what one city thinks of the Philhar'
monic Orchestra and its conductor
Josef Stransky is one of the great
est conductors of the present genera
ton. His work with the Philharmonic
is notable because of his interpreta-
tative genius and notable because of
the mastership over the musicians.
But this mastership, this complete
control. is never apparent; the music
ians seem to anticipate the will of
their leader.
Stranskv is not only a great or
chestral commander, but a prince Of
programme makers.
A mighty thrill awaits a vast au-
dionce when the New York Philhar-
monte Orchestra, Josef Stransky,
conductor, visits this city in April
next.
