MOST AUSPICIOUSLY
Ministers and Others Extend Welcome;
Classification Of Students Proceeds;
Regular Work Begins Tomorrow

It was in voice trembling with
emotion, at the opening OF the Oklaho
ma College for Women this morning
that President Austin said, "My heart
is deeply touched when tell you that
we have been compelled during the
past few days to turn away scores OF
girls who wanted to enroll with US.
We were forced TO tell them that we
had no room for them. The dormito-
ry is already filled to overflowing and
girls who came to enter have already
gone home"
In the rush Of the opening day it
Was impossible for the presscent to
state the exact number of students
now here, but it is known that the en-
rollment Is far in excess of last year.
Efforts are being made to find places
for more students in the homes Of the
city and larger number than usual
Will be accommodated in this manner.
Following his rule, President Austin
opened the first chapel exercises of
the year promptly at 10 o'clock this
morning, the auditorium being well
filled with students and visitors. The
exercises were brief ana informal, in
Guiding the customary devotional pro
gram, two songs, a number Of short
talks and announcements. Classifica-
tion of students has been under way
the past three days and by tomorrow
morning it is expected that the stu.
dents will report for class work. The
first faculty meeting was held at 4
o'clock this afternoon.
After the scripture lesson had been
read by Rev. Il. b. Teis, prayer was
offered by Rev. Lawrence Cohen and
then President Austin called on the
ministers and others for five-minute
talks. Rev. John A. Wray. pastor Of
the First Baptist church. gave the stu
dents some practical suggestions
which he summarized in the words,
appreciation, appropriation, applica-
tion and achievement" Rev. Mr..
Teis who followed him, stressed the
thought that the work before the stu
dents was serious one and that they
are here to prepare for service. DR..
Cohen contented himself with extend
ing to the girls an invitation to attend
his church and Sunday school, telling
them that he was ready to serve them
and be their friend at all times. J.
w. Kayser urged the students to assist
In bringing more girls to the school

good time by doing hard work. Sena-
tor ONeilI predicted a great future
for the school and said the next legis-

eral appropriation for dormitories.
'We need three times as much dormi-
tory capacity as we have and there is
no economy in denying il" he de-
clared.
President Austin made the closing
talk in the course of which he thanked
The citizens Of Chickasha for their co

Washington, Sept. 5.-The railroad

President Wilson signed Sunday but if
the courts deem it unconstitutional

In One Sided Game Sunday Blash Strikes
Out Thirteen Visitors aud Game
Closes StOl
(By KlIbourne.l

In a one-sided event at the ball park
Sunday afternoon, the locals swamp
ed the classy Lawton aggregation BY
score of to l. There was never
a dull moment on the locals bench
while there was considerable loaf
in" around the visitors side OF the lot.
Credit for three of the Lawton clubs
five miscues must be given to the
shortstop, Amspencer, who booted
them all around second base.
In the third inning Hunter, pitching
for the visitors, managed toiput one
over on the home bunch by making
the batter foul two and swing like a
rusty door at the third. While Hun
ter whiffed only one batter Blash,
twirIing for the Chickashas, had thir-
teen strikeouts to his credit. Some
record for an amateur, eh?
Strong at the at.
During the time the locals we're
gathering ten hits and fattening their
batting averages the Lawton nine
managed by the hardest kind Of try
ing to gather exactly half as many and
very scattered they were, too.
Blass Stingy With Hits.
Blass was stingy with hits, allowing
no two to come in Immediate success
sion, while at the same time Hunter
was pounded all over the field for sin
giles and doubles, then doubles and
singles.
The loyal and faithful ones turned
out in fair numbers to see and help
their "old home town" boys win.
The visitors had team which, un.
der proper management, could be-
come one Of the fastest amateur base
ball aggregations in the state. But in
this they are lacking. But we should
not worry when we had only one Of
the best in the state in the box. How
are we going to pull through with a
guy in there who can only strike out
thirteen men, an errorless infield hack
ing and several guys who couldn't hit
any better than 500 or $50 do for the
day?
