HIGHSCHOOL GRIDSTERS GUESTS
OF ROTARY AT NOON LUNCHEON
AND ALL ARE BOYS ONCE MORE


mingled and were boys together, wit
the same pride in achievements 0
the season that closed on Turke,
day and with the same ambitions 70
an all-state championship team mex
year, when the gridiron warriors o
the Chickasha high school were thu
4 guests of the Chickasha Rotary clul
today at the clubs regular weekly
luncheon at the Chickasha hotel.
There was nothing formal abou
the proposition. In fact, if informali
ty could be, by some crook of the
imagination, classed as fist fight
the Rotary luncheon to the gridsters
would have been the battle of Cha
teau-Thierry. The Rotarians started
things off by giving I'D rahs" for
the teams, headed by Rotarian
Dutch Strauss, the c. Fl S. gridsters
entered the dining room. Possibly
TIE said Is rahs were not given in
unison, and with the rythm that a
gang Of leather hinged. well trained
high school or college men would
have given them, ana the attempt
might have sounded good deal like
fitful popping of muskets along a
skirmish line, but it was noise.
B. b. Barefoot, president of the
Chickasha board of education and
T. T. Montgomery superintendent of
schools We're also guests of the Ro-
tarians. Both made short talks in
which they predicted even better
things for the team next year and
hope was expressed that Chickasha
would give the high school lads
real field before they donned the
moleskins next season.
Diamond Roach, Leland Adams
and Clint Steinberger, ] took oc-
casion to thank the Rota1ians and
the people of Chickasha as a whole
for the support that had been Civ
en- the team during the season just
closed. Roach, in answer. to the
question from Rots4an Keith Miller,
tons'master, as to how many more
touehdowns he was going to make
next year than he did during the
season just closed, declared, 81 don't
know about that but I'll be in there
fighting for every one l can put
over"
Several of the football men ex-
pressed their appreciation to Coach |
Strauss for his patience with them
and for his untiring work in building
a winning team for Chickasha. This
received hearty second from num-
Der of Rotarians and Strauss was
allied as the best highschool foot
ball coach in Oklahoma.
Coach Strauss touched upon the
charges that Chickasha had played
Ineligible men and invited the wild
est and most thorough investiga-
ton.
A riot was narrowly averted when
Jonas Cook got the floor and stated
flatly that he could lick any high
school football player that ever walk
ed on two legs" A dozen huskies
we're about to accept the invitation
when Jonas tempered his romarks by
stating that he had no intention of
loing it. He wound MP by express
ing the opinion that instead of TAX
ing on the whole football team, he
would confine his efforts to Kelley
DeBusk, assistant coach.
In his remarks, Mr.. DeBusk ex-
,ressed pity for the first string ag
yregation and invited all fans to
watch the smoke" of his string of
scrubs" when they grew to fit
heir uniforms" next year.
