In the seventh frame Tulsa saw all
four bases for the first time when
Smith lifted the sphere over into Lit
tie Africa. The three men following
him We're retired In order. In the
eighth the locals rallied and Young's
stock rose to par. Heatly started the
fireworks with a fast single thru short
after Balenti had been thrown out at
first. Fairchild next singled to right
but was retired at second on field
er's choice when Ohlin hit an easy
grounder to short. Brady also drew
a bingle to the right garden. scoring
Heatly and landing Ohlin on third.
Dowie was sent in to hit for Richter
but struck at the first three offerings
and retired the side. In the ninth the
locals drew blood and exerted them
selves to land a winning run. Wooley
flew out to center followed by Brewer,
who sent grounder to second and
was thrown out at first. With two
down, Balenti hit single thru short
I and scored on Heatlys double to deep
center. Fairchld brought the hope
of the Tulsa fans earthward when he
struck out, ending the first game of
the Ardmore series
Fairchild tenanted right field and
Ohlin was back on third.
The Ardmorites landed two of their
scores in the first inning when Richter
hit Henderson and Speer singled with
slow grounder to Brady. Payne,
who was next up, was thrown out at
first by Ohlin, but both Henderson
and Speers were advanced. Hayes
struck out. and then Totten sent a
grounder into Heatly's garden, scor-
ing both men.
In the sixth Hayes took Richter's
offering for a circuit clout and the
action was repeated in the eighth by
Henderson.

FRESHMAN RULE WILL
BE LIFTED IN S. W. A. C.
Members of Conference Decide
by Mail Vote to Resume
Athletics This Fall.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark, July g.
President John c. Futrall of the south
west athletic conference announced
today the result OF a mail vote Just
taken to determine the question OF
the athletic policy OF the conference
during war time. The members of
the conference are the Universities OF
Arkansas. Oklahoma and Texas, the
Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges
of Oklahoma and Texas and Baylor
university. The points decided by the
vote were the following:
|. intercollegiate athletics will be
continued and schedules will be car
ried out insofar as may be possible.
2. The rule barring freshmen from
taking part in athletics will be re-
scinded during war time.
8. Transfers from one college to an
other must, however, as heretofore, be
In residence in the college to which
the transfer is made for one year be-
fore being allowed to play.
The decision of the conference to
continue athletics is in accord with
the action of other conferences, such
as the Big Nine or western conference,
and the Missouri valley conference.
This action also has the approval OF
President Wilson.
The University of Arkansas will
probably lose Il number OF her best
football players who would have been
III college next fall except for war
conditions. Several of these men are
now In the officers training camp at
Fort Logan ii. Roots. 1t is under
stood however. that only about 25 per
cent of the men in the training camp
will be taken as officers In the first
draft army. There Is, therefore, a
good prospect that some of these men
may be able to return to the university
in the fall.
President Futrall announced that all
students engaged in athletics In the
University of Arkansas will be required
to take military training also. Here
tofore 1t has been customary in the
University OF Arkansas and in many
other institutions to excuse from drill
members Of the athletic teams.
The Arkansas football schedule as
already made out includes games with
the Universities of Louisiana, Okla

the Tulsa Engineers and who because
of the delinquency of the state in mus

periencing considerable difficulty in
making both ends meet during the
past several weeks.
Homeless Until August.
Believing they would be called to a
mobilization camp within a short time,
many of the men resigned from lucra-
tive positions early In April and since
that time have been idle waiting for
the state to take some action. II has
been announced by the state adjutant
general that he will be unable to assist
the men, who are ready to serve their
country, before early in August.
Thus he washes his hands of the
affair, saying the state is not to blame
for their condition. All OF which is
probably true. Just where to lay the
blame, then, seems much Of mystery
and while IT may be true that no one
is at this time seeking to place the
blame. IL still remains an indisputable
fact that the men need aid.
With this aim in view the chief OF
police and the chief OF the fire depart
ment have ugreed to have members OF
their respective departments battle
nine full and complete innings. the
