MAULBETSCH PREPARES
HARD FOR KENDALLS.
Phillips Eleven Believes They
Also Can Measure Pres

Special to The World
ENID, okla. Nov. 26. - Coach
Johnny Maulbetsch put his Philips
university gridders thru hard scrim-
mage today and Will put them thru
hard workouts tomorrow and Wednes-
day. determined that there shall be
no upsetting Of the dope pot when
the Haymakers invade Tulsa 20 meet
Kendall college Thanksgiving.
by comparative scores, Phillips VII
have the edge on the. Presbyterians.
But the odds in their favor via the
score route, change to even mony,
because the game will be played in
Kendalls own bailiwick. That the
Tulsans will put up great fight is
certain and no pains will be spared TO
win the game.
Phillips now occupies a place sec
ond only to Bennie owens Sooners in
Oklahoma football. A defeat at the
hands of Kendall would pull them
down from the highest niche ever won
by Christian team and then, the
championship of denominational
schools Is at stake, and also the Sec
ondary title, tho it Is probable that
Kendall and Phillips are ranked as
state elevens.
The boys are not in the best of con-
dition. but all injuries will be forgot
ten turkey day, as IL Is the last col
legiate game of the season, and the
boys are bent on avenging the defeat
administered them by Kendall last
year.
Strauss Will Play.
Strauss, one of the best backs in
Oklahoma football, who suffered a Sc
we're injury to his left arm in the game
with Central Saturday, may be able to
start the Thanksgiving battle. At
first ii was feared that the member
was broken, but an X-ray eXamina-
ton disclosed only bad bruise.
Campbell, who has played a great
offensive and defensive game all sea-
son. was on the sidelines thruout
both the East Central and Central
Tits. Mauly is taking no chances on
having his ankle, hurt in the Sooner
game. injured again. Evans suffered
a severe strain to his side in scrim-
mage last week and was not even in
uniform Saturday Myers and Loving
were also kept out of the fray.
These casualties" may not be in
the best of condition Thursday. but
they will undoubtedly play at least a
part of the game.
Because of government needs, IT
will be impossible to secure a special
train to Tulsa. but it is expected that
a large number of Loyal Robters'
will accompany the eleven on the
Frisco train that leaves Enid Thurs
day morning.
Another Game at Enid.
The game with Central last Satur-
day was not the last home game of
the season for Phillips. 1t was the
last collegiate game, however On De-
cember the Camp Doniphan, Fort
Sill, team, with an unbeaten record,
and win over the Kansas all-stars at
Wichita Saturday to their credit, will
meet the Haymakers at the stadium.
This will undoubtedly be the best
game to be played In Enid this year,
and is attracting n great deal of in
terest Coach Maulbetsch, allAmeri-
can halfback, captain of the Michigan
Wolverines in 1916, will probably don
the moleskins and play a quarter or
two. Followers of the game, who are
familiar with the exploits of the man
who ranks with Heston as Michigan's
greatest gridder of all time, will be
especially anxious to see the man who
plunged his way thru a Harvard team
time after time; who unaided nearly
accomplished the defeat of the Grim
son. will undoubtedly be on hand to
see the game, and the greatest crowd
here this year is anticipated.
Returning to the Thanksgiving bat
tie, Coach Maulbetsch did not. rely on
the open game Saturday, as was ex--
pected. but will use his new plays for
the benefit of the Tusans. The eleven
showed that they could use the new
game against East Central, and the
old game against Central. In the Ken
dall scrap combination of the two
is eXpected-with u Phillips victory
also predicted.
