get in shape for this hard battle and |
hope to be able to hold the Sooners
down, altho the Owen squad has de- |
feated both Kansas and Missouri uni |
versities by one-sided scores, Coach
Owen has the greatest team, according |
to the experts, that has ever repre- |
scented the southern institution of
learning. His line averages well ever
200 pOu ids from END to end. and the |
backfield is not only big and fast, but
also has the weight, allowing Coach |
Owen to change his style of attack at
any time during the conflict. He. also

years, shoot the EorWard pass down
the field with deadly accuracy, and
have two wonderful ends that are al
ways under the ball. The writer
