INDIAN END SHOWS TALENT
Captain Hopping Goes Bril-
liantly; Woods Snatches
Some Hard Passes.

Displaying an attack unedualed this
season the Tulsa high school football
team made an impressive comeback
yesterday afternoon when they met
the Haskell eleven at Association
park and smothered them under |
score of SO to o. Captain Hopping led
the playing for the locals, performing
I In Il superlativc manner by dashing
thru the opposing lines for ten touch
downs.
Haskell fought hard to the finish,
but with the exception OF two or three
times they did not hold the .ocals or
make first downs. Bruner. an Indian,
at left end, did the stellar work for
the visitors. He made the majority
of tackles for Haskell and his block
ing in the line against Frank Woods
was one Of the features of the con
test.
Makes Good on Passes.
Tulsa showed power both in the
aerial rs well as the straight football
tactics, making II touchdown on an
average of every four minutes out
of ten forward passes attempted by
the locals they completed eight. which
were all for a gain of twenty to thirty
yards. Hopping and Woods were on
the receiving ends OF these, while Hen
bricks, the quarter back, had a per-
feet day i'm his passing after his pitt
ful showing at Bartlesville last Sat
uIday.
Haskell only attempted four for
ward passes. their efforts bcinS crude,
ard were unable to complete any Of
them. Hopping intercepted che IF
them and took ii back for a COOL
gain. Tho visitors confined their at
tempts to gain ground mostly to line
iucks during the time they had pos
session of the ball, which always
proved brief. They had heavy back
field and pounded hard. but the eff
fccts OF the dcfcnre drilling that the
local coach has been giving his squad
all week gave evidence when they
hurled them back, often for pig losses.
Tricks Work.
Two of Tulsa Highs touchdowns
were the direct result of trick plays.
Haskell fell for both of them, one
being the old whiskercd stun If lay
ing out near ;hc side line and taking
Il long pass which was successfully
executed by Captain Hopping on two
occasions. Hendricks, the quarter

Poor Kicking.
The only weak spot which ap-
peared in the playing of the Tulsans
was their attempts at goal after
tuuchdowns. out of their fourteen
attempts they made only four, Jake
Roop, the left end. who was assigned
tc this task. being the offender. lie
succeeded I'm kicking two of tis sew
cral attempts. while the other two
were made by Cramer and Hopping.
BY brilliant interference Tulsa,
which won the toss and chose to re-
ceive with the wind at their backs,
started instantly, after Frank Woods
had received the kick-oof, fast
march toward the Haskell goal
Woods brought the ball. which he re
ceived on his twenty-yard line, to the
middle OF the field before he was
downed. Cramer, right half, who gave
n number of sensational broken field
runs during the game. then took il
for gain of twenty yards. Hopping
moved II another ten and Shurtliff,
the full, plowed to within a few feet
or the goal, wherl the captain took it
over on the next play. Mixing for
ward passes and trick plays, they
crossed the goal twice moro in the
initial quarter, six times in the second,
once In the third and four times in
the final period.
During the third quarter Gracey
took out Shurtliff, Cramer, Roop,
Hendricks and Colson, sending in sub
stitutes. This weakened the machine
of the locals considerably since they
made only one touchdown during the
period, altho they kept the ball in the
opponents territory during the quar-
ter. In the final period the regulars
were returned to their places.
