Sooners to Close Score at
Norman Saturday.

With both teams facing crucia!
games the local high school eleven
and the Kendall squad played their
second practice game of the week
yesterday afternoon on the Presby-
terian's field. The high boys seemed
less afraid OF their older opponents
yesterday than on the previous day
and made a number of good gains
thru the collegians line besides com
pleting several long forward passes.
Kendall has been greatly handi-
capped this season on account OF not

! Speedy Englishman Has Trou-
BILE Finding Local Boy in
15-Round Fracas.

Earl Puryear increased his popular
tty among .he local boxing fans last
night when he gave Benny Mcneil.
bantam champion of Canada, five
pounfs yet won Il Well-earned de-
cision over the fast Britisher in fifteen
rounds at the Crescent A. G.. Puryear' s
work against Mcneil was highly pleas
ing TO the fans ana showed him 10
be constantly improving as glove
artist
Mcneil on the other hand fought IN
ragged but desperate fashion. Tho
greater number Cf the rounds he
forced the milling but Puryear's clever
blocking and ducking as well as his
superiority in the infighting gave HIM
the edge Of the biggest number Of the
periods. Mcneil also had poor judge
of distance and missed many OF his
swings which he started.
Mcneil became considerably peeved
before the bout opened when he was
forced TO weigh IN or lose q tl0O
weight forfeit. He contendcd that the
$50 o'clock in the evening but finally
got on the scale. He tipped them at
1913 pounds while Purycar weighed
III.
Mcneil won only the first round
while Puryear won six--the third,
seventh, eighth, tenth, eleventh and
fourteenth. The Englishman succeed
ed in getting break In the other
eight frames by his aggressiveness and
speed. He showed a willingness to
mix matters In every round but
seemed to be unable to find the local
boy with any of his slashing blows.
Mcneil opened the first round
cautiously leading Puryear out all he
could and succeeded in getting the
shade by several hard rights that he
sen. to the face of his opponent. Pur-
year Immediately evened II up in the
second and ducking the hefty blows
OF Mcneil and In return landing n
hard right uppercut among the blows.
Mcneil slowed down in the third
round again while Puryear had the
better of the exchange Of taps. In
the fourth Mcneil started in hard
by landing a heavy right as Puryear
turned. At close range fighting in
the last part Of the round Puryear
redeemed himself and halved the
honor with the Englisliman.
They both went after each other
hard In the fifth and sixth which were
even but Puryear had his best round
in the seventh. He took the offensive
IN this round and sent many short up
percuts to McNeil's chin and body
He also won the next by shade, but
Mcneil came back strong in the ninth
and evened with him.
Puryear bcsted him In the next two
but Mcneil never quit his bitter as
snlilt and evencd again in the twelfth
and thirteenth. He appeared tired in
the fourteenth and Puryear had the
hest Of this one. but Mcneil drawed in
the final again with him, which was
one Of the fastest of the entire fight
Kid Bartles won an easy decision

A large acreage in the United States
which was planted to winter wheat and
which IL now thin and feebly green Will
probably be plowed under and the land
planted in corn or some other crop.
Secretary Houston has been proving to
the American people that while corn
is used in this country as human food
to much greater extent than in Eu-
rope, it's use may be largely increased
without the slightest disadvantage. It
is probable that the Departme Of Ag-
riculture will soon begin a publicity
campaign to popularize corn, oats and
rye as breadstuffs
While the wheat outlook in the
United States is for a smaller crop than
usual, the corn crop may save the sit
uation. There has been no official state
ment about corn, but it is obvious that
the acreage is being greatly increased.
Corn Will be grown in many of the

that a heavy increase In the acreage

SOLDIERS HORSES MAKE
NIGHT DASH ON AVENUE
Ninety.six Belonging to Signal Corps
and Battery B, National Guard,
Break Away From Enclosure.

Washingtonians on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. between the Treasury and the Cap
itol were treated to novel sight early
this morning. when ninety-six horses,
belonging to the Signal Corps and
Battery B. of the National Guard of
the District of Columbia, dashed down
the Avenue in pairs. trios and what
ever formation they chose. The ami
mails. which are stabbed at 18th and E
streets northwest were left in the yard
adjoining the stable on account of the
warm weather. In some unexplained
manner they broke down the fence hold
ing them in and were or for a ramble.
They started toward the Monument
grounds, lured by the idea of good
grass. but automobiles, in trying to cor
raj them, frightened the animals. and
they dashed toward the Avenue, where
scores of other automobiIists Joined in
resounded with the hoofbeats and auto
mobile horns.
The unusual sight in front of the Dis
trict building alarmed the detectives
on duty at police headquarters. and
they telephoned to the precincts ask
ing that q lookout be kept for the
horses. Folfce patrols were pressed into
service and shortly before daybreak
all were accounted for.
Many Of the horses were found peace
fully grazing on the lawn in judiciary
the parking on Indiana avenue. A few
others, however, did not follow the
leader and strayed in other directions
Some were found in the Speedway near
the bureau of engraving and print
ing, and FIVE were found grazing peace
fully in Washington Circle, Pennsyl-
vania avenue, near 22d street.

NICKEL AS ONE OF
IMPORTANT WAR METALS

Nickel has come to be one Of the
important war metals. It may be
possible to make cannon and rifles
without nickel, but field, fort and ship
guns and small arms to be Of the high
est efficiency require that nickel shall
be added to the steel.
el laid by at the opening Of the war.
Sne has been busy stripping the coun-.
tries dominated by her OF the nickel
that had been used In the peaceful in
Wh,eh sns or has found some
plenishing. her nickel stores. Small
supplies Of nickel may be obtained in
many parts Of the world, but the chief
sources are Canada and New Caledonia.
The use Of nickel in proportions Of
one to two per cent gives special quail
ties to steel. After the outbreak Of the
war 1t was written by a specialist on
war metals that nickel comes almost
wholly from territories under the do
minton Of Great Britain and France.
and when the Germans have used up
their stock there will be no source from
which to replenfsh It"
Few laymen comprehend the strength
which is required Of steel used in
making guns. Tho stress or pressure
put upon this steel IN the firing OF guns
is mighty. An authority on ordnance
guns cannot be built without steel
strong enough to Withstand the enor-
nous pressures. and these pressures
are 50 great as to be almost AZ far be-
yond ordinary comprehension as are the
distances Of the stars or the number Of
atoms In glass Of water"
The finished gun usually calls forth
from the uninitiated observer high
but it was the metallurgist who
brought the steel Of the piece into be-
ing and it IL the steel which enables
the gun to do its terrible work SO uni
formly and SO well. Commandant Reg
nault Of the French artillery has said
that "at each discharge Of gun, in the
case Of our field pieces. in less than
three-tenths of q second. the pressure
exceeds twenty tons to the square inch
the muzzle 10 more than $500 feet Sec
ond.". The energy developed may be
put at about half q million foot pounds,
| or considering this cannon a. q motor
working during an exceedingly short
time, its rating may be placed as about
twenty million horsepower. The steel
| must not only be able to resist these
strains time after time for an indefinite
period, but IL must do 30 under unfa-
vorable conditions such, for example. as
| the. high temperatures produced by the
explosives.
It is because Of the pressures, heat
strain and wear on gun by firing
that its life is so> short The number
of times that q gun can be ired before
1t loses its accuracy and becomes un-
safe is limited. varying with the size Of
the gun and the pressures which it is
made to bear. For withstanding these
| pressures there is no steel equal to that
| to which has been added q certain pro.
portion of nickel.
