ball fandom are turned on th'
Chickasha high school.Tulsa higl
school battle to be staged next Sat
urday afternoon in the Oklahom;
oil metropolis.
Although dope favors the locals
Dutch" Strauss warriors are handi
capped because the game Is to bc
played on the Tulsa gridiron. Early
in the season, the Strauss aggrega
tion decislyely outplayed the okla
homa City eleven and won by a II
to verdict Only a few days ago
the Oklahoma City machine, which
has been eliminated by crushing de.
feats at the hands of the c, H. S.
and Muskogee Hi teams, won in a
close game with the Tulsans.
Tulsa, it is conceded, has one of
the strongest gridiron machines
that has ever represented the eastern
Oklahoma school Coach Strauss ex.
poets fierce battle when the two
teams clash next Saturday after
noon.
Adams viii Play.
The purple and gold pigskmners
have been strengthened by the re.
covery of Capt Chilli Adams, quar-.
terbaek Adams was out of the big
end OF the Ardmore game because Of
injuries. He has practically re-
covered and will pilot the Strauss
aggregation on the oil city gridiron.
Prospects for strong Chickasha
showing were frightened with the
announcement that Chancey Gam,
fighting guard, would be able to
participate in the Tulsa fray. Gann's
offensive, as well as defensive abil.
ity has been one Of the valuable as.
sets of the local line. With Schlot.
terbeck in almost perfect trim for
the left guard job, Strauss guards
are not giving him much trouble.
Green On Sideline.
Whether or not Stats" Green, de-
pendable Chickasha center, will be
in condition to hold down his pivot
job in Saturdays contest remains to
be seen.
For several days Green has been
suffering from an infected hand
This injury forced him to remain on
the sideline In tho Ardmore game
last Friday. The infection is not
healing as fast as was expected and
Green's ability to play against the
east siders is in doubt
In the event that Green is not
able to hold a berth, Strauss proba-
bly, will use Ed Duncan, heavy,
hard tackler, but who has had diff
Guilty in passing the ball accurate
ly. His passing, however, is improv-
ing daily
Depend on Toe.
Mentor Strauss is depending much
on Roach's educated toe to win the
pre-Thanksgiving game and thus
pave the way to meet Muskogee to
decide the big Ten" championship,
providing Muskogee wins over the
Tulsans in the Turkey day game.
Should the fast Strauss machine
win Saturdays game and Muskogee
lose the Thanksgiving contest, the
local outfit would be the indisputed
champs of the conference.
The Indian fullback is now work
ing his educated toe in wonderful
FORM In practice recently, he drop
Kicked the ball between the goa
posts from the 25-yard line ten con-
aeicutive times. With line support,
Strauss believes Roach can win the
Tulsa game via the drop kick route.
"Red" Is Rearin'
Red White, the fighting halfback
is recovering from injuries sus-
tanned in the Ardmore game and is
anxious to stack up against the
cast siders.
White probably will be one Of the
local high school Representatives on
one of the mythical all-state teams.
Strauss is vesting much hopes in
"scrappy" Whites playing.
