high school. Guthrie" liz the advice OF
those who have seen the team practicing
at tho athletic field on Park place and
the Santa Fe tracks every afternoon
since school began. Coach Barnes
thinks the Oklahoma CITY high school
the fastest team In the conference. Tho
average weight la about $50 pounds. but
they rival fun grown cyclone In speed.
There are many new faces In the first
team this season. the coach. too. is with
q. III. s. for the first time He comes
here from the University OF Missouri,
where he coached the freshman team last
year Mr.. Barnes Is primarily track
man, but is whirlwind In football as
well.

The probable lineup for the opening
game is. Lawrence, center; Schier. right
guard; White, leftguard, Beattie, right
tackle; Cole. cfttackle; Tyler tcaptain),
rightend; Garner leftsnd. stub" Hardy,
quarter, and for halves there are several
possibilities. waite Kerr. Julian Kerr,
Graham and Moerschal. and Swatek. fun
back
Waite Kerr is an Indian who has fea-
tured in Pauls Valley football. Gra-
ball and Is showing wonderful speed.
Sol SW2tfk Is the brother OF Mike
Swatek who endeared himself to the stu
dent body OF the old school by making
b-yard run to a touchdown that broke
tho Jlnx with Norman high school In
1918, For ten years previous to that
event Norman high had considered the
q. II. \. team a Joke Last year Nor
man was defeated. which shows that the
name Swatek is necessary to football
success In Oklahoma city, Cole did some
notable work for the Oklahoma City
eleven at tackle last year. Moerschsl.
too, is a fast and sure man.
