The University OF Tulsa and
Northwestern normal OF Alva teams,
disputants for the oklahoma collegi-
ate title, represent this state in the
annual national basketball tourna-
ment of the American Athletic
union, which opens tomorrow Vat
Kansas City. Both the Presbyth-
rans and Rangers are expected tor
give good account of themselves in
their games with leading quintets OF
tho country which are entered in the
national tournament, which includes
such teams as the University OF
New York, 1920 champions, the IA
nous Kansas City Athletic club and
others.
Tulsa and Northwestern each
claim the state championship and as
they will not meet this season Gum
less at Kansas city, neither can lay
clear claim to that honor. How
cvor II is possible that fair line
on their play may be obtained at
the amateur title tournament and
1t is possible that they might even
meet.
Both Have Fine Records.
Northwestern claims an undeteat-
ed record of 10 straight victories
10 offset this, Tulsa points to its ad-
mittedly harder schedule Of lS
games, with only one reversal.
Tulsa has played every leading
quintet I'm the state with the eXcep-
ton OF the Aggies and Southwestern,
while Northwestern met only South
western and Phillips university.
Iulsa defeated Central three out OF
TOUR, Chilocco twice, and won four
each from Phillips and Baptists.
Their four defeats of Southwest
