BASKETBALL GAMES
ARRANGED FOR HIGH
There Probably Will BE
Three More Games
Played This Year.
Fisher,
Off.)

Tulsa high school basketball team
completed the formation of its
schedule yesterday and it was an
nounced that the local team would
have three more matches. In addi-
ton to this it is probable that the
Red and White will enter in the
state tournament to be given at Ken
dali college March 10 and II.
The high school team has been up
of games. 1t was not thought ad-
visablc to bring any teams to Tulsa
except those Of large cities on ac-
count of the great expense incurred.
The first game will be with Mus
kogee high school March 10 and will
be played at the local Y. NJ. c., A.
This is on the opening night of the
Kendall tournament and 1t is possible
that it may be relayed into the tour
nament, as both quintets are anxious
to get into the tournament This will
be the only home appearance Of
Tulsa.
The other two games on the map
are with Dewey and Bartlesville,
both of which will be played at
Bartlesville.
In the meantime the high school
squad is practicing regularly with
little change in the status of players.
1t is probable that the original line
up of Woods, Aitkens, Impey, Mckee,
Aitkens will be used for the rest Of
the season.

MANY CITIES ENTER
Winner of the Meet Will Be
Declared Champions
of Oklahoma.

Entries FOR the Oklahoma inter-
scholastic baseball tournament, which
is to be given under the auspices of
Kendall college March 10 and II, are
beginning to arrive and indications
now point to very large list.
Entry blanks were sent out yester-
day to every high school in the state
and it is expected that they will begin
to file in this week. The blanks gave
the rules and regulations of the
tournament.
The following cities have cores
ponded on the subject and are almost
sure to be in the running: Salisaw
Marble City, Chelsea, Muskogee. Ra-
mona, Tulsa, Halleck, Copan and
Dewey. These fives were unsolicited
and had knowledge of the meet only
through newspapers.
All schools must have in their entry
blanks by March 8, including the list
of players. The tournament will be
an elimination event, one defeat put
ting team out of consideration.
only bona eide students in good
standing can represent their schools.
They must bc passing the two-thirds
of their subjects and must have at
tended school all semester.
A fee of 50 will be charged every
team to prevent promiscuous enter
ing and this will be the only expense
while in this city. Board and lodging
will be provided eight men for each
team as long as that team is in the
contest Even after elimination they
will be admitted to games free.
The winner of the meet will be de-
clared champions of oklahoma. The
tournament seems to be the solution
for the basketball problem in state
high schools. The teams all over the
state have been handicapped this year
by being unable to finance separate

KIRK GOING GREAT
Pugilists Never Were in
Better Condition for
Il Contest.

Robbie Waugh now is rounding into
the best condition OF his long pugilis-
tic career. and when he meets Sailor
frankie Kirk in their scheduled 10
round boxing contest at the Tulsa
Athletic club next Monday nirht, Feb
ruary 2S the boys will he among
the finest specimens of humanity
ever seen here.
Poth are working every afternoon
at the club, where Il large crowd al
ways watches them. Waugh Is show
ing little effect of the attack of la
grippe which he suffered soon after
his arrival in Tulsa, In fact he de-
claros he never felt better in his life.
II first was feared this near cham
pion Of the middlewcight class was
doomed to a siege Of sickness here,
but prompt action on his part and
that of his physicians had the desired
effect
1t may he that there are some of
the fans here who are not aware of
who this Waugh person Is. lie has
met the best Of the division. which
includes Battling" Nelson with
whom he first got a draw and then a
decision over the short route. 1t
readily can be understood. therefore
that he is among the leaders. and If
Kirk beats him ~ the forthcoming en-
counter he will bc in demand
throughout the country.
And Kirk Knows II
There's nobody who realizes and
appreciates his position more than
does the sailor. He's determined to
win and from the tap Of the initial
gong he's going in to finish the con-
test at the earliest possible moment.
Waugh is a fighter rather than a
LoXer, something which suits kirk.
Therefore it is probable most of
their work will be mitigating rather
than boxing Both boys are the
toughest who ever drew on a glove
and there will be something doing all
the time in the way of delivering and
assimilating punishment
Waugh realizes he's going up
against . stiff proposition and II is his
intention to take no chances. 1t Will
he To win as soon as possible for him.
There has been some question rc'a-
tive to the wiunCr-takc-all PROPOSE

the only terms Waugh would listen
TO before signing the Tulsa agreement
was ON - basis Of Winucr-tlkc-all.
Therefore, this contest viii hc a sure
