So0nerS Loose Chance to Become the
All-Victorious Champions of Missouri
Valley When JayhawkS Hold Them to lie

Norman, Okla, Nov. 2O.-Bennie
owens 1920 Sooners lost their chance
Of being the "all-victorious champ
ions of the Missouri Valley confer
once, when the fast Kansas state
agricultural eleven held them to a
Z to Z tie on Boyd field, here this
afternoon,
The Oklahomans played good foot
ball but could not put forth the nee
essary punch when an additional yard
or two would have meant a touch
down and additional points for the
Owenites.
a strong south wind made punt
ing dangerous and White, Oklahoma
half, averaged only is yards on his
boots that have averaged around the
45-yard mark, in preceding games.
The Aggies scored first, just be-
fore the end of the first period of
play. White punted 20 yards TO
Kinds, who signalled for fair catch,
1t was the Aggies ball on their AS
yard line. A pass from Cowell to
Sebring, netted IA yards and first
downs. Goerke made eight yards
through the line and then plunged
through for one more. Kinds went
around right end for five yards and
first down. AXline failed to gain,
but Cowell passed to Randels for
10-yard gain and first down. Goerie
went through for five yards, then
for two and first down, with the goal
to go. Swatek was off side and Ok
lahoma was penalized half the dis
tance to the goal line.
II was the first down again for
the Aggies but they were penalized
five yards for off side. Then Kinds
passed to Cowell for six yards and
the second touchdown the Kansas
Aggies have made this year against
a Missouri Valley conference team.
Huston kicked goal.
The second quarter started with the
ball on Oklahoma's 37-yard line. Hill
went around left end, for eight yards.
Marsh had been sent in to relieve
Captain Luster and Pott Johnston
had been appointed acting field cap
tain. Swatek went through the line
for two yards and first down, plac-
ing the ball on Oklahoma's 47-yard
line. Then White heaved 3S-yard
pass to Marsh, who advanced the
ball 12 yards further before being
downed, placing the ball on the Ag-
gies' 10-yard line. Hill plunged for
three yards, and Marsh went around
right end for four more. White
bucked center for one yard and the
ball was on the Aggies one yard
line. Swatek was called upon to cross
the line, and followed Paul Johnston
through left tackle. Davis kicked
goal Here the scoring ceased.
But it looked as though the heavy
Owen machine had really started its
usual travelling after the opponents
had made the first touchdown The
Sooners were able to push the ball
to the Aggies' 11-yard line, but they
could push it no farther and the
allies were given the ball.
The Sooners third opportunity to
tally came in the middle Of the third
period, when they worked the ball to
the Aggies' two-yard line and were
held for downs. Huston kicked out
of danger for the Aggies, who were
able to advance the ball only once
into Oklahoman territory in the third
quarter.
In the final quarter both teams

the opinion that the citizens should
themselves take up the matter OF op-
posing the proposed increase in rates,
and referred to the recent decision
of judge of the supreme court who
ruled that cases such as proposed in
crease in rates of public utilities were
the fight OF the citizens and not OF
the city. The various civic organiza-
tons of the city will be asked TO
take up the matter.
Commissioner Young requested the
opinion Of the commissioners regard
Of Police Chancellor, the salary which
he has not received since the i'm
peachment hearing, held some time
ago. At this hearing the chief was
ordered removed from office, but
the district court issued temporary
injunction restraining the city Off
cials from interfering with the chief
and his duties until final decision Of
the court on the matter was handed
down.
Commissioner Shores, referring to
the matter of the chiefs salary, eX-
pressed the opinion that the board
might be held in contempt Of court
If they paid the salary.
Mr.. Young stated that he believed
that the commissioners would be more
in contempt if they did not pay the
salary than If they did.
City Attorney Mason, in rendering
his opinion Of the matter, stated that
the district court cannot compel the
commissioners TO recognize Jim Chan
ccllor as chief of police, because the
records of the city show that he is
nos chief Of police, and advised the
commissioners to take no action in
The matter and to let things rest as
they are.
Chief Chancellor, who was present

that he did not desire them TO bring
themselves in contempt Of court on
his account, and suggested that the
commissioners save the money which
was due him ito get his successor. "
The meeting then went into eXecu-

Donner. after which the board ad-

that he had accepted part of $4,000
which was paid by Downey, Of the

Mr. Boiling requested Mr.. Thomp-
son to make very thorough inVes-
tigation because of the fact that he
was charged with a serious crime and
if he was guilty, he should be pun
ished; if innocent, his innocence
should be established. The letter, IT

New York, Nov. 20. - Allegations
tending to implicate men now and
formerly Connected with the United
States shipping board with alleged
collusion in securing contracts for the
Wallace Downey Shipbuilding Com
pany of New York were made here
today, by Tucker X. Sands, witness
before the Walsh committee investl-
eating shipping board affairs.
The men named and alleged to have
participated in a distribution of more
than $4,000 were r w Boiling,
brother-in-law of President Wilson,
and now treasurer of the shipping
board; Lester Sisler, former secretary
of the board John Cranor, repre-
secretary of the Downey Ship Build
I itf1Cplf
He testified that he received the
money in the form of notes" some
of which he discounted and at differ
ent times described payments to Boil
ing and Sisler as both payments
and "loans." In another part of his
testimony he asserted the money was
to be understood as q commission to
him for obtaining a loan from the
bank to the ship building company
with which the witness was then con-
nected.
The testimony of Sands was preced-
ed by that of Alfred w. McCann, a
reporter of the New York Globe, who
swore he had obtained from Sands
an affidavit detailing the entire trans
action. McCann further testified that
when he took the affidavit to SANDS
/ for him to sign, he declined to do sc
| on advice from his attorney. Previ-
GUS to submitting the affidavit, for
Sands signature, however, Mccain
! said. he had taken the document tt
the shipping board and had it pho
tostated. One OF these copies carry
| ing notations in what was testified
to be Sands handwriting, and when
Sands afterward testified to being
correct except that some of the
| facts may be little different was
/ presented by Mccain in evidence. the
document, however, was not made o
part of the stenogTaphers' minutes
of the hearing.
In the course Of questioning by
Chairman Walsh and Congressman
Kelly, Sands said he did not think
Boiling ever got a cent from anybody
| for aiding to get a contract-money
made by him was a loan" At an
other time, he stuck to a statement
that Boiling was to get his share
of. the transaction-"thath he gave Sis
Ter ,000"-and that he had loaned
Sisler, for one of his companies, So,
900 on his note, which note he still
has, He said he had never had any
controversy with Boiling and was OF
friendly terms with him. He als'
mixed into his testimony details of
purchase by him from Boiling Of
