Hurricane from Tulsa University

The warning is being taken

the fact G. w. has a perfect rec

for it wcs made against stiffer
teams.
To date Tulsa has scored 66
points to nothing for its three
opponents, the victims being
Hendrix. Henderson, Texas
Christian and Oklahoma Bap-
tist. Their victory over Texas
Christians is most impressive
for the Texans have long been
one of the standOut teams in
that section where football is
as tough as anywhere in the
country.
Tulsa derived it's nickname as
the Golden Hurricane after big
victory over the Texas Aggies
back in 1922 when it scored an
unexpected upset by sweeping
through their more highly rated
foes. It looks like they've made
a habit of it ever since, for their
record shows many surprising
victories over major opponents,
which includes the taking over
of Texas Christian this fall.

his men long and hard in daily

over-confidence as a result of last

the Bison rolled up the score of
69-6.
1t has been estimated that

William Harris of the Lin- coin House Makes
 Announcement
NEW WORKSHOP PLAN

A workshop plan." whereby old men and women physically handi- capped in such a way that they will be unable to resume their re- spective places in industry and be- came self supporting, will be fi- nanced by a monetary donation, the amount and the donor to re- main secret, it was announced by William H. Harris of the Lincoln House association.
 MT Harris made this announce ment yesterday afternoon at the meeting of the board of directors of the Lincoln House yesterday af- ternoon.
 He stated that a sum of money has been contributed. This is the first step in the work. Rodney Chase, president of the association, will name a committee of three men to organize the work.
 Only those persons who have no means of livelihood will be given consideration. This includes a group who are being taken care of by the Mutual Aid and who will have no other means of support when the fund no longer provides food, fuel and clothing.
 This will start to operate when Mutual Aid ceases to function. In the meantime, the work will be or- ganized. There are now in the files of the Mutual Aid 50 or 60 men who will have little opportun- ity to earn a living when the Mu- tua1 Aid fund stops.

ities. Even, under normal condi- tiOns the public suffers much in- convenience" MT Colgrove said. However, the mailing public can reduce this inconvenience by talk ing the sensible stand. The solution Is to do all .stamp-purchasing at once, and to do all possible mailing at once.
 Every year thousands of peo- pie wait until Christmas week be- fore doing their business with the post office. Consequently the facil- ities of. the office are choked by ab- normal crowds. Service is slow. Hundreds of people wait uncom- fortabiy in slow-moving lines out side stamp windows. Toes are crushed. Bundle-laden arms are sprung from their sockets. Backs and legs cry out in misery" Every year the post office staff observes this Condition, and we see how unnecessary it is. Right now, to-day, is the proper time to stock up with stamps for Christ mas cards. believe the patrons of the post office are realizing this fact in greater numbers every year, because they see that in this way
 they escape the bugaboo of last minute crowds.
 Patrons can get instant service
 if they buy Christmas postal SUD- plies at once. They can entirely es- cape the rush conditions if they make sure to procure a plentiful
 supply of stamps now, especially for Christmas cards. Make Christ
 mas mailing easy for yourself by
 getting your stamp supply to-day while you can do 1t comfortably. Buy your stamps in booklet form for convenience. Mail those pack ages now"

Man Facing Arson Charge Has Long Record of Law
 Violations

A fight to save himself from states prison or from deportation looms for Anthony Vernale, 48, of this city as the result of his arrest here last week on the charge of been engaged in scrutinizing his re- cord in Middletown, Bridgeport, Wethersfield and Waterbury and are reported as being convinced that the accused by his violation of major criminal laws has forfeited his rights to citizenship.
 Vernale is being held for super for court under bonds of $5,0OO. Originally the bail was placed at $10,000, but following a plea that a long confinement in jail would im- peril his health, Judge T. V. Meyer cut the amount in half. Anthony Vernale, 23, son of the accused. is also implicated in the affair. He is at liberty under bonds of $3,000. Both are accused of plotting to col lect insurance by setting their homes on fire. The residence on Gates avenue was completely des- troyed on october 9th. The case has been investigated by members Of the local detecive bureau and the state police.
 The arrest of the elder Vernale was followed with the statement that he had served time in Wethers field when convicted in Bridgeport on the charge of arson and also served nine years for his part in an attempt to wreck train in
