Local Institution VIII Re
main in Oklahoma School
Association.
PROSPECTS ARE GOOD
School Opens Monday With
Big Group of Huskies
Ready for Play.

Seven games, tho first of which IA
the Tulsa high school football team,
II the plans OF authorities materialze.
No contracts have been signed yet, but
negotiations arc cn with several
schools in the eastern part of the
state.
Tulsa high school Will stay in the
oklahoma High School Athletic asso-
citation, PLAYING under its rules ana
regulations With the withdrawal ot
Oklahoma city II Is expected that
Tulsa will be one OF the leaders in
the conference.
Oklahoma city announced about a
month ago that 1t would not be a
member of the association this year.
The capita, city will form an alliance
with three other cities on the northern
side of the state
This does not affect Tulsa in the
least as the school authorities have
mapped out policy by which the
Tulsa team shall stay In the east side
OF the state exclusively. This eliml-
mates lcng trips and insures a good
financial standing.
Muskogee. Bartlesville, Pawnee, Sa-
pulpa and Okmulgee have been writ
ten by Harley Aitkin, temporary man
aRer, who Is acting in conjunction
with f. j. Katz. principal, In the for
nation OF the schedule.
Cities from over three states have
asked Tulsa high school for dates, but
1t Is probable that the above five will
have first choice on the schedule. All
OF them were played last year. Vinita
Claremore and Pawhuska, who were
played last year, have not arranged
dates as yet
With the opening set for October D.
Coach Baker will have plenty of time
to whip his green line into a machine
Having started the first Of this month,
the squad will have five weeks train
Ing before game.
Many New Men.
When school opens Monday IL Ia ex-
peAted that fully a dozen men will he
added to the already large squad. At
this time II also will be known
whether few "doubtfuls" will be on
the lineup this year
One of the ways in which Coach
BakeS Is planning to bolster up his
line ~ by using his overflow of full
backs. Up TO the present time about
20 per cent of the big hulking young
sters who have reported have an
nounced their intentions of monopo-
llzing the fullback duties, even when
Captain Miller is slated to work in
this capacity.
Jim Mckee is one of the likely
looking fullbacks and II is possible
that he may oust his captain, with his
kicking and passing. 1t is probable
that one of them Will be used at half
back Sands, should he return to
school, will make good running
mate for this pair. Hawkins, SMASH
ing half and Price will break in
somewhere and are being counted on
heavily
McWilliams and Kiefer are two of
the likely-looking candidates whose
prowess may be diverted from back
field to line.
Todd. center. Young, guard, and
Lauteret, tackle, form the hope OF
Coach Baker. All of these are crack
Ing good men, judging from past per-
formances. The other half of the
line must be recruited from green
material. Bailey and Brown are the
two best bets from present indica-
tons, unless some of the fullbacks are
shifted.
Aitkin, Stark, etc, are candidates
for end. Heavy on the etc" since It
looks as If Aitkin will have to carry
the whole burden
