LOCAL BASKET
BALL BOYS ARE
LOSERS TWICE

Ill fate attended the expedition of
the c. H. S. basket ball team into
the southwest. AT Lawton Friday
night the Chickasha boys met defeat
to the tune of 81 to II, and at Ana
darko Saturday they were trimmed
by the Indians by a score of 80 to
Il.
In the Lawton game the Chickasha
lineup was as follows: Forwards,
Louis Gardner and Walter G. Crit
fifth; center, Oscar Harris; guards.
Dan Riddle and Geo. Snedeker. The
substitutes were Arthur Griffith and
Neil Fox, the former being unable to
play on account of a hurt knee. In
this game, it is said, the superior
science of the locals was overcome
by the weight Of their opponents. The
game was hotly contested and the re.
suit might have been different had
the game been played here. The Law
ton high school gym contains six large
pillars. which bothered the Chicka-
sha boys. but didn't seem to interfere
with the Lawton players.
The game with the independent III.
dian team at Anadarko was one OF the
hardest played by the Chickasha boys
this year The locals were weakened
by the absence of Gardner and Arthur
Griffith who had to return home Sat
urday, but they had the benefit of the
playing OF Coach Reeds. The first
half was walk-away for Chickasha,
the score being Is to 0 at one time,
but it is claimed that the Indians re-
sorted to rough tactics in the second
half. which changed the tide cf bat
tie. The Indians We're more experienc'
ed players. being graduates of Carlisle
and other Indian schools that are fam
Gus for athletics.
The Anadarko team will probably
play here in the early partof February
and the battle is expected to be one
Of the fastest OF the season.

Mr. Good owned and controlled be

of land lying mostly in Grady county
4 He was with the men who operated
these farms the greater part of his
time and was known personally and
beloved by all of them. During the

never pressed a farmer who lived upon
his land. On the contrary he is said

and depression and to have proved
himself, thereby, both man and a
brother.
In addition to his efforts in the mat

Shortly after II o'clock, noon, Mr.

experienced trouble in cranking the
car and coming TO the edge Of the ice

trouble. Mr. Good then told the boys
ho would crank the car, and started
skating toward the shores Of the lake
When about twenty-five feet from the
bank the ice suddenly gave way be.

the icy water. Without loosing his

Dy OHlJCu IICoS.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Jan. IT,
Preferential primaries, usury bill,
revenue measures, state prison indus
tries, amendment of the highway law,
further appropriations to continue the
two-cent fight and confirmation of sew.
eral appointive nominations by the
governor are some OF the things to
be considered in the special session
of the legislature, which convened this
morning. The session was called By
Gov. Williams les than two weeks
ago.
Comparatively few matters will be
taken up by the legislative body in this
session, which the governor expects
to last les than 80 days, possibly three
weeks. Several members of the legis-
lature, however, are convinced the bills
to be considered cannot be properly
prepared and discussed in the time
mentioned.
Members of the senate and house
have been cooperating for weeks on
the measures to be introduced under
recommendation of the governor. Some
of these will be started in the uppec
and some in the lower branch.
The election law, which is consider
ed the chief reason for the session, will
be centered about the question of pre-
ferential primaries. Gov. Williams
is strong advocate Of the primaries
and it is considered probable Okla
homa will be enabled to express its
preference for the various presidential
candidates this year by direct vote of
the people, as result of the special
legislative session.
Appointments by the governor which
were to be presented to the senate for
confirmation include all the members
of the state board of education, board
of agriculture, Industrial commission.
mining board, board of pharmacy, elec-
ton board, secretary of the Insurance.
board. highway commissioner, fire mar
shall warren of the Granite reformatory,
members of the corporation commits
sion and possibly others.
The appropriation of $4,000, made
last winter for legal talent in the two
cent fare cases is exhausted. About
S25, 900 more is required to complete
the trial of these cases, and this
amount is expected to be appropriated.
Several senators and representatives
have pet measures they desire to
push and if the more general PROPOSE
tions are disposed of in good time It
is considered probable some Of these
will be considered.
