e. - ven playing
with all the right
and dash characteristic OF the man
who coached them and who at one
time was a great player, an eleven
which In 1919 swept it's way To- the
front rank In collegiate football and
was hailed by critics as one Of the
greatest If not the greatest team OF
the year That team was the West
Virginia team and its coach--W. W.
(Tubby) Mcintyre.
Mcintyre was cn route TO Enid,
Okla, where he IN to assume the di-
rection of athletics at Phillips uni
versity and though the Christian
school loses a tried and valued
coach and universally liked man in
Johnny Maulhetsch, 1t gains a mem
tor OF national reputation.
Tho greatest triumph ever re-
corded by n team coached by Nc
Intyrc was the defeat In 1919 ad-
ministcrcd by West Virginia to
Princeton by ~ score of 25 To o, a
crushing blow To the Tigers and
placing the southcrncrs In the
gridiron limclight. That defeat
was only one of other victories
won by West Virginia over great
clcycns, including the Navy, Itut-
gers and Washington and Jcffcr-

The football situation in Okla
homa for the 1921 season looms
brighter at this writing than in any
time in previous history. This is
especially true of colleges and nor
mals and great hard fought games
should be the rule and more brill
liant players developed than ever
before.
Affairs at the University OF Okla
homa are always in good shape In a
football way-trust TO Benny owen
to have formidable eleven. But
the other schools have not all been
so fortunate in the past In finding
capable mentors and as the Soon
ers are no longer members OF the
state collegiate conference and not
considered in the state title race.
( it is in the outlook at the other
schools that the grid fans are inter-
ested.
A survey OF the field shows that
q majority of 1920 coaches will re-
! turn for the coming campaign,
though three or four changes have
been made, two Of especial i'm

Mcintyre. as written above
