Admorc Logical Opponent.
The general opinion among foot
ball followers and sporting writer's
seems 10 be that Ardmore and Sa !
pulpa should play the post season
game TO decide the title. Ardmoro
won every game on It's schedule, and
won most OF them by heavy margins.
For instance. Ardmore closed the
season with 77-d victory over Me-
Alester, the only Central conference
team u met Among Ardmore's
other victims was Lawton, last years
Central champions. defeated by IS III
o, which COMPARES well with Sa-
pulpa's 400 victory over the same
team.
An effort was made to line up n
Sapuipn -Ardmorc game Yesterday,
but so far II has not resulted success
fully, Ardmore officials are anxious
TO play Sapulpa and are willing to
meet the Jonosmen ON neutral
grounds" but they want TO play In
Oklahoma city or Norman, while
Sapulpa officials want TO play In
Tulsa because It Is believed the at
tendance here would he much larger
than In either OF the other places.

Tulsa fans also want the game
here. The sporting editors ot ths

TO this proposition tho Ardmort
high school officials replied that
they would be pleased To play IL
Tulsa only for the distance OF 2S(
miles,
They thanked us for the generou,
Offer but said they preferred tC
meet Sapulpa half way so each team
would have the same distance I,
travel before tho game.
while the attendance OF cours,
is very important, yet IT'S the cham

fectly willing to take on Ardmore. but
