Long Time

Oklahoma, although 1t usually
finishes in the first division, hasn't
had Missouri Valley Conference
champion since Bonnie owen de-
veloped his great undefeated team
in 1920.
Captain Jones refuses to COM
ment on either Huey Long or Me-
braska.
Oklahoma has repealed Nebras-
ka only twice in history-14-7
in 1924 and 20-7 in 1930-and
its students, alumni, and follow
ers want to see a Sooner squad
that can hold it's own with the
Cornhuskers long the lords of Big
Six football. Oklahoma plays Ne
braska at Lincoln on October rs.
Oklahoma hasn't beaten the Ok
lahoma Aggies in a half dozen
seasons. Maybe Captain Jones
can do something about that at
Norman on Thanksgiving day.
Oklahoma has defeated Texas
only once since 1919. Captain
Biff takes the Sooners to Dallas
on October 80 for the 30th annual
Texas Oklahoma game, and young
Jack Shevigny will waiting
with a powerful herd of Long
horns.
Captain Jones faces a tough
task but Oklahomans insist that
Boomer Sooner" when the last
off tackle buck has bene made on
Turkey Day. Oklahoma has cap
tured Biff Jones' fancy and Biff
Jones has caught on in Oklahoma.

JONES LIKES OKLAHOMA AND
OKLAHOMA LIKES CAPT.
BIFF JONES

Lake George, N. Y, Aug. -
Captain Lawrence McC. Jones likes
Oklahoma, where he will coach this
autumn following 10 years at West
Point and three at Hueysiana State,
where he terminated highly sue
cessful reign by giving Huey Long
the buns rush from the Tigers
dressing room between halves OF
their game with oregon.
"Pcople in Oklahoma are friend
ly and regular" says Captain Biff.
whom we find mentioning on the
sylvan shore of placid Lake George.
"Real western hospitality there.
"This spring we looked the
BOYS over at Norman in a two and
a half week drill, which was alto
gether too short. We had them
about rs hours in all and during
that time gave them Is basic plays
a few forwards and laterals. and
some work on pass defense. 1t was
all dummy drill. No blocking or
tackling.
$50 we can't get the final an
swer on our material until we
start this fall. However. we
liked the spirit and enthusiasm
shown. We believe the boys real
lie the price they have to pay to
be good. We're going to lose
some games, of course. Our idea
is to build our system as well as
we can the first year.
"There are some nice big high
school boys raised in Oklahoma
and we hope we can get our share
of them. This job shapes up as
the hardest ever faced. but the
most pleasant"
s'Boomer Sooner!"
Biff's i'm Town
Captain Jones spent most OF this
summer travelling all over Okla
homa and meeting and addressing
alumni. They've never had such
wild enthusiasm over football In
Oklahoma in midsummer as there
is this year. Despite seasonal sports,
alumni and fans paid 75 cents for
slim plate lunches and piled into
lodge halls and church Easements,
sweating in shirt sleeves, just to get
a look at Biff Jones and hear him
