Makes Many Changes.

Coach Brannan of Ottawa university
is doing some experimental work this
week, trying out some of his players
in new positions from the ones they
have been handling this year. The
most radical change made by the OF
tawa mentor is the switching of Coch-
rane, an all-state end to quarter
back. This is good headwork on the
part of the coach and a number of
other coaches, whose teams I have
seen in action, could make some
switches in their Hneups without doing
any harm.

Oklahoma City, Feb. 10.--In spite
Of cloudy, threatening weather. Gener.
al John j. Pershing and his staff or
12 were given an enthusiastic but
rather serious welcome by Oklahoma's
capital city. The city was out to
welcome the general but its welcome
was marked by an undercurrent of
gravity rather than shouting merr;.
ment
General Pershing began his day
here by standing in the parlors Of his
hotel from 9:45 o'clock to 1895 o'clock
grasping all who could reach him by
the hand and murmuring some appro-
pirate phrase of greeting.
How do you do? l remember yon
here many years ago." he said to
many acquaintances.
After a long line had spent itself
General Pershing was taken 70 the
Chamber Of Commerce building where
he was entertained at n public lunch

The parade Of former service men,
with General Pershing ut their head,
winding through the principal streets

Governor J. Il. A. Robertson and
state officials terminated by the Am
erican legion posts here with n large
program at the fair grounds.
