Las fall the Golden Hurricane
won in succession from the Arkansas
Aggies. Southwestern the Texas Az
gies, Baptist University, the UnlVer-
Efty of Arkansas, Texas Christian
University, Southeastern and Cen
trail College. The last outfit was the
champion Of Oklahoma for many
years
Tulsa has piled up an impressive
record in the last seven years. From
1916 to 1921 the team went through
stiff schedules without losing game.
Before the close Of the 1921 cam
paign two contests were dropped, but
the eleven came back strongly last
year and swept through strong ser
of opponents without single set
hack.
The TuISans are coached by III.
M. Acher, an Eastern product, who
made his debut last fall by turn
ing out an all-VictOFiOus cOmbina~
ton. He is as listed by big Jim"
Braden, of Yale, Camps all-AInert-
can selection in 1919; Dinsm0re,
old Nebraska star, and McMan-

at Princeton. The team Is wei. !

This year squad is captained by
James Chief Herndon,. a Choctaw
Indian chief. He is guard, and is
generally regarded as one of the
finest forwards in the Southwest.
Another performer of note is Bat
Shunatona, known in the Southwest
as 1.-THE Flying Pawnee." He is a
fun -blooded Pawnee and has taken
to the game with all the natural ver-
natility of his race. His broken field
running is accomplished in spectacu-Y
lar fashion, and one of his most re-
cent performances was to snag The
ball on the kickoff and race the
length of the field for touchdown.
The Tulsa eleven is wildly anxious
10 break into the national spotlight.
For some years they have been run
Eing wild in their own territory, and
now, naturally, hope to make con-
quests on Eastern fields that will at
tract the attention of the country to
their prUWeSS. Throughout the
Southwest they are regarded as an
other Centre College, and their per-
formances fully justify the loyal

10 on the upgrade after an appalling
string of defeats. The losses OF the
season have not had discouraging
effec.. instead, the Blue and Gray
appears to have found itself in a
large degree and may be depended
upon to go at its best gait against
the Oklahomans. The outstanding
feature of Saturdays game, was
the fact that a number of the
green men in the Hilltop lineup,
whose pay heretofore has amply
exhibited their inexperience, appear
to have hit their stride.
Jack Hegarty, the HiIItOppers'
flying haIfback, was not as seri.
0usly injured in the BuclxneIl
game as was first believed. The
x-ray shows a shoulder strain and,
with a weeks rest the brilliant
half may be able to get into the
Tulsa conflict.
Jackie Maloney gave his varsity
athletes a day off yesterday. A
Hight workout is scheduled for this
afternoon. with a scrimmage pos
eible on Wednesday.
2 Powerful as the Bucknell offense
proved to be, the Blue and Gray
line came through the contest in
good shape. Here and there are
stiff joints but they will be limbered
up during the week and Georgetown
expects to start the same Lineup
next Saturday that was on the grid
iron against BucknelI.
