we simply stood up and let them
run over us" This was the eXplana-
tion OF the Tulsa hi5h school football
players who went dOwn in defeat, -
10 0, at Partlesville ast saturday
afternoon. II was quite surprise to
the local followers of the team, since
the Tulsa eleven had won all It's pre-
v'ous games and had not been scored
on by any OF their opponents.
But all the men were ready To ad-
NIT that BArtlesville has good team
and one that no apologies need to be
made for being beat by them. How
ever. Captain Hopping. leader of tn"
locals, was staunCh I'm the belief that
nervousness beat his men and that
they could 20 back ana take the meas
ure of the Washington county boys If
given chance. They don't look BAD
To me-" said Hopping, who was prac-
tically the only man on the locals that
could show "A consistent gain against
the Bnrtlesvile boys. Cramer and
Itoop also went down fighting, playing
as good "a game as their captain on
the defense.

ball during the first three quarters.
fun bling II nearly every time we got
started" said Hopping. For this rea-
all the time and by tackle smashes
worked the ball over four times on us.
In the final quarter we jerked our
selves together and held them to "A
sta ndstill. and ! believe If We would
have worked that way most of the
time in the game they would never
have scored.
"It looked like we would wipe them
up when the game started and Cramer
went thru them for twenty yards. we
continued to- take them right up the
field until we fumblcd and they re-
covered and smashed right over for n
touchdown. 1t was the first time that
we had ever been Apred on, and T.
! seemed to take our p,\ away. Agnin'
they have one man, Wrinkle the full
back, who Is mighty good. lie is the
strongest we have had TO play against
this year. He would charge over our
tackles and go for a big gain every
time
Hendricks, our quarterback and

we should have trimmed them. We
are going to try hard to win the rest
of our three games and II we do
think Bartlesville should give us an
other chance for the eastern honors,"
Hopping stated.
Coach Gracey lost no time In getting
busy on his line when practice for the
squad opened yesterday. This indi-
Gated what he believed to be the rca-
son Of their defeat at Bartlesril'e. All
the team members worked with de-

Inability of the Sooners to hold the
ball. marked first in the game with
Illinois and again last Saturday AGAINST
Kansas. the unexpected strength eN-
hibited by the Aggies against the
Univerity OF Texas last Saturday when
the saltwater men held the LonghornS
to to score and the remarkable
showing of the Presbyterians on the
same day against Denver university
has started the dope pot boiling.
Very plainly the showing of the three
teams last week indicates that the
Sooners are erratic, probably already
at their maximum strength, while
both the kendallites and the Aggics
are just beginning to find themselves.

For n team that hasn't won a game
this season to begin now to talk about
the state championship looks. on the
face OF IL, like brazen piece OF pre-
sumption on the part of the McBirney-
Mefford adherents. In reality II is
not. In the first place none OF the
games played by Kendall to date has
had anything to do with the state
championship, all being with out-of-
state teams. In the second place, a
team that was absolutely green at the
beginning of the season has been
gaining in power so rapidly that its
effectiveness against such sttong COM
binations as the all-star team at Camp
| Funston and Denver university were
astonishing even to those who have
been the most optimistic. In the third
place, the man-power OF the team has
/ been conserved for the very purpose
OF throwing the greatest possible force
| into the last three games of the sea-
son, the only ones with state schools.
The prospect OF the Aggies is far
| less promising than that OF Kendall.
Already they have been beaten by
Phillips, a team the Sooners swamped.
1t will be fight for them to finish
better than third or fourth. Kendall
is confident that 1t will not finish
farther back than second. Next Sat
urday comes the Aggies. After that
on November "a at Norman Is the all
| important scrimmage with the SOoners
and then comes the final game OF the
season, that with Phillips university
here. This game will decide at least
the secondary school championship.

The report asserted that the med

He said the charges. first receiving
