800 per cent season.
Their hardest defeat came at
the hands OF the Oklahoma City
college here this week, Losing
by only one point. and Dhaving
fought the visitors for 10 extra
minutes. the men were disheart-
ened. They are looking forward
TO February Ia and 10. however.
with a view of getting a double
revenge on Durant Teachers for
a double defeat there last week.
Coach Thompson's men are
holding eighth place in the inter-
collegiate conference. He hopes
to boost his team standing sew
eral noJches In the next two
weeks. His team was weakened
by the loss Of two good PLAYERS
last week, who will. be with him
In the forthcoming games.
