ASSOCIATION PROGRESSThe Tulsa meetingOne of the best attended Sooner Club

meetings in Tulsa was that held Sep-tember 6 in the First Christian churchthere welcoming Athletic Director Ben( : . Owen and Coaches Hardage andRowland . One hundred and twenty-five Soonnes attended . Mr . Rowlandcontinue his role of afterdinner speaker,bringing laughter and applause with hismany sallies .B . A . Bridgewater, sports editor of

the Tulsa Daily World, declared thenew coaches "made a few neat verbalbroken field runs and touchdowns ."Mr Bridgewater's report of the spiritedmeeting continues :A crowd of about 125 O . U . alumni-many

of them now prominent in Tulsa's public life-greeted the new coaches, Hardage and Row-land, and upon getting acquainted liked themvery much. The boys from Vanderbilt provedentertaining after-dinner talkers, particularly thechunky Rowland whose clever persiflage keptthe assembled diners in a constant uproar, forthe better part of half an hour .

Hardage said some very nice things aboutOklahoma university as a school . In appealingto the alumni to use their influence to sendathletes to Oklahoma instead of permittingthem to go to out-of-state schools, Hardagesaid he certainly could urge this most whole-heartedly . Naturally, being a Vanderbilt alum-nus and having served the Tennessee schoolas a coach for so many years, Hardage said healways had considered Vanderbilt just aboutthe last word in schools, but since he had beenat Norman he had become convinced that Ok-lahoma university was just as fine a school ."You Oklahomans have something to be

proud of in that school," said Hardage . "Cer-tainly there's no reason why a Tulsa athlete,or any other Tulsa boy or girl, should go outof Oklahoma to school ."

Incidentally, I-lardage explained the failureof Oklahoma university's football teams in re-cent years in a way that no doubt pleased Ben-nie Owen and would have made Ad Lindseyglow a bit had he been present . Hardage saidthe reason the football teams down at Normanhad been weak was because there hadn't been

enough football players present. And he urgedthe alumni to correct that negative situationby bending their efforts to interest the athletesto stay at home instead of traveling far toschool.Hardage said he believed there was a great

opportunity at Oklahoma and he consideredhimself fortunate indeed to be chosen for thefootball post . In all seriousness he declared hewould not trade places right now with anycoach in America . (He must not considerthe present crop of material at O. U. so ter-ribly inferior at that .)The coach said he was enjoying immensely

"this traveling around the state, getting ac-quainted with the alumni ." He finds himselfappreciating the truth of something WallaceWade told him after he had moved from Al-abama to Duke ."Wade said," Hardage smile(], "that the hap-

piest time in a coach's life is in the idle periodwhen he leaves one school and goes to another-those months between the close of one foot-ball season and the opening of the new one,when he hasn't had time to lose any games onhis new job . We have a good time goingaround meeting the alumni when they haven'tanything against us ."The speaker who had welcomed Hardage

and Rowland to Tulsa, Judge Thurman Hurst,had nointed out "Gloomy Gus" Henderson, theT. U . coach, and warned the new O. U. men-tors not to expect a pushover when the Hur-ricane invades Norman the first of October.Francis Schmidt came up with -a big T. C. T3.eleven last fall, Hurst recalled, and the Texans

"had come to scoff, and remained to pray ."Mentioning that advice Hardage said therewould be no taking Tulsa lightly down atNorman ."We haven't come to scoff," he said, "and

we've already started praying ."Rowland, evidently on the theory that his

superior had done enough serious speeching forone coaching staff, devoted himself to frivolousbanter and got away with it very nicely . Theway Rowland kept Hardage on the spot con-tinuously in his talk showed the perfect under-standing that exists between them, and left nodoubt as to the harmony to be found in thefootball "brains department" at O. U . as theseason opens .

Bennie Owen had explained in introducingHardage that after the O . U . athletic councilhad employed Lewie to take over the footballjob he had been told to suggest his own as-sistant. O. U. wanted the new coach to havethe whole set-up to his liking, and everythingmade over so that the best results possible couldbe obtained . Hardage had immediately sug-gested Rowland who was coaching at a smallArkansas school, Ouachita ."The reason," said Rowland without crack-

ing a smile "that Hardage wanted me for anassistant was because he knew I was the onlycoach in the country who knew less footballthan he did ."Rowland had seen one after another judge,

candidate, school board member, etc ., introduc-ed at the dinner-all old grads from O . U . .most all lawyers . (Judge Harry Halley, '15 as,'17 law, Luther White, '14 as, Bill Eagleton,'14 as, '19 law, Candidate Holly Anderson, '24law, Candidate Wayne Bayless, '20 law ofClaremore and others were included .)

"I'm certainly glad I came over here and gotacquainted," said Bo . "If things don't go sowell down at Norman I'll come to Tulsa andrun for something ."The assembled alumni were extremely con-

siderate of the honor guests, all the preliminaryspeechmaking being brief and to the point sothat the new coaches would have time to talkand get acquainted . Judge Hurst of Pawneeand Tulsa officially welcomed the visitingparty and the response was made by Frank S .Cleckler, secretary of the Oklahoma Alumniassociation . Shelby Mart, '29as, cheer leaderat O. U . back in the late 1920's led in a fewrah-rah-rahs for the visitors and other guests,including Coach Henderson of T .

OUR CHANGING VARSITYThe forty-first yearThe forty-first academic year of the

University of Oklahoma was scheduled

to begin September 19 . . Enrollment,however, was to take place September

15, 16 and 17 . The fraternities began

their rush week during the first week

of September.

October

Advance indications were that the en-

rollment would be surprisingly large,

considering the depression . The prin-

cipal increase in enrollments was ap-parently in the transfers from other uni-

versities to Oklahoma, although there

was a large number of freshmen noticed.

The campus student body this year willprobably contain a larger percentage ofOklahoma men and women who have

gone in previous years to eastern schools,

than ever before . It is still too early to

estimate the probable enrollment .

Fraternity rush was successful . Most

fraternities engaged in the most elabor-

ate preliminary rush campaign in his-tory, with the assurance as they finished

their work that they could fill theirhouses . Several fraternities exchangedhouses last year in order to relieve them-

selves off financial burdens.Commuting, which became almost a

vogue last year, will be more popularthan ever . A number of persons living

in cities near Norman have made ar-rangements with other students to sharethe expenses of automobiles. Last year

a number of medical students shared ex-

penses by taking on a number of regular

student passengers for Oklahoma Citydaily.Living expenses will vary of course,

on the tastes and financial limitations of

students . But even the old timers con-

fess that they do not recall the timewhen food and room prices were as

cheap as they are now. One of the best

known rooming houses has made prices

this year of fourteen dollars for room

with two meals a day; the choice rooms

of this house may be obtained with twomeals daily for only eighteen dollars.

One of the best known campus restau-

rateurs is serving breakfast for five

cents, lunch for fifteen and dinner fortwenty-five cents. "The students haven't

much money to spend this year," says

this philosopher, "and by the use of re-

frigerating equipment and pressure cook-

ers and other modern kitchen improve-

ments, as well as by quantity buying, I

can serve good food reasonably ." Prices

in dormitories have been reduced.

Another factor noticed this year has

been the augmented number of families

moving to Norman for the duration of

their children's university courses. Trans-

fer companies report an unusually large

number of families moving into Nor-

man for that purpose.

Board and room in the university

dormitories for women has been placed

at $25 this year, while Newman hall has

reduced its rate for room and board to

$32 to $37 monthly. The Masonic dor-

mitory has reduced its annual rental

from $120 to $80, by action of the trus-

tees . The Masonic dorm will be open

this year to any man in the university,

1932

regardless of whether he is the son ofa Mason or a member of DeMolay.George Metzel, secretary of the Y. M.

C. A., states that last year there were1,277 rooms with a capacity of 2,708 inapproved houses for men, housing 3,000men.The average room rental for two

which was around $10 last year is now$8, and some rooms for two may be ob-tained at $5 for each occupant.The student ticket is selling for

this year, the lowest in years. Thiscludes the federal tax.

Despite the opinions of various stateattorney generals that the federal amuse-ment tax is not applicable to tickets is-sued by state institutions, the athletic as-sociation is charging the tax but issuingrebate coupons which are good for re-funds in event that the test suit broughtby the intercollegiate athletic group issuccessful ."The law mut be observed until a

court decision determines whether stateinstitutions are exempt," explains Wil-liam J. Cross, '09as, secretary of the ath-letic association . "The refund couponprotects both the athletic association andthe ticket purchaser."

Sooners in politicsPerhaps the outstanding features of

the summer primaries in Oklahomawere the nomination of Will C. Rogers,'30as, of Norman, for congressman-at-large on the Democratic ticket and offour Sooners for justices of the Oklaho-ma supreme court. A Sooner is also forthe first time chief justice of the supremecourt, Judge Fletcher Riley, '17law .Mr Rogers, who has been superin-

tendent of schools at Moore, outdistanc-ed all but Mrs Mabel Bassett in the firstprimary and in the second led the Dem-ocratic ticket for nomination as congress-man-at-large .Will Rogers, the humorist, wrote in

his daily newspaper column regardinghis namesake in Oklahoma : "A nap inChicago cost me the presidency . NowI find while I was down in Texas try-ing to rope a calf, my namesake in Ok-lahoma brought home the bacon. Well,I am for him. He has shown more in-genuity already than any candidate Iever saw. They are trying to hog himout of it now. Well, that's politics foryou. They say he was a Republicaneight years ago. My goodness! Thewhole state of Oklahoma was Republi-can just four years ago, so he saw whatwas coming four years before they did.I tell you this bird is smart. In fact, hewill be plum out of place in congress .So let's all get behind Will Rogers forcongress ." The dispatch was datedJuly 11 .

Judge Wayne Bayless,'20law, was nominated for supreme courtjustice from the first district on theDemocratic ticket ; this post seems likelyto be contested, in view of the declara-tion of Justice W.

Munroe Osborn, '06ex,won the Democratic nomination fromthe fifth district .

Social surveyDr . Jennings J. Rhyne, director of the

school of social service, directed a socio-logical survey in Oklahoma City thispast summer . Assisting him were threemen trained in sociological work and sixwomen students who are candidates forcertificates in sociological work .The survey, which began June 21 and

will be completed about October 1, ismaking sample studies of the case loads

of the United Providence Association,the Red Cross, the Salvation Army andthe Oklahoma County Department ofSocial Service, the four social agencieshandling family cases. Results are be-ing tabulated from 570 schedules in theform of charts and tables . Study is re-stricted to the problem of the family forthe purpose of finding out the numberand percentage of these families that arechronically dependent and those that willbe independent when the depression isover .When

presentlem of

completed the analysis shouldan adequate picture of the prob-dependency in Oklahoma City .

Philosophy lecturesA philosophic study of the world in

depression formed the theme of twostimulating lectures during the summersession by Dr . Charles M. Perry, headof the department of philosophy, andDr . Gustav Mueller, assistant professorof philosophy . Doctor Perry spoke on"Change and the Quest for Stability,"which will be published in The Soon-er Magazine for November ; DoctorMueller spoke on "Four Prophets ofDespair." The purpose of the lectureswas to help students apply philosophyunder modern conditions.

In his lecture of June 21 Doctor Muel-ler declared that "every institution andall fields of life are facing criticalchanges. Life itself, is shaken to thefoundation . We are in a world wherenew decisions must be made . Nothingis certain today.

"Spengler denies unity, idealism andeven science, and calls life a mushroom .He said that when culture begins togrow old and shows signs of senility, itis called `civilization .' The climax ofculture has been reached when heroes aredug up out of the past and worshipped,art taken from the dead and a feeling ofjoy realized from primitivism .

The Bizzells in Mexico

President and Mrs Bizzell spent partof their brief summer vacation in Mex-ico, the remainder in Chicago. A fort-night's visit to Mexico proved most de-lightful to the president, who renewedacquaintances with prominent Mexicanswho had been students at Texas Agri-cultural & Mechanical college when Doc-tor Bizzell was president there.They returned July 19, having made

the trip with the fourth annual tourgroup sponsored by the extension divis-ion of the university under guidance ofTodd Downing, '24as, '28 M . A . Thetrip was made interesting from the be-ginning by the declaration of a Pull-man strike (described elsewhere in thisissue by Mr Downing) just as the Soon-ers reached Mexican soil ; despite the factthat the long trip to Mexico City hadto be made in regular coaches, the Soon-er party had an enjoyable time . In ad-dition to visits and receptions in MexicoCity, Mr and Mrs Bizzell made excur-sions to many of the shrines and monu-ments which make Mexico one of Amer-ica's worth-seeing lands.

President Bizzell made the trip in or-der to become better acquainted withMexico's educational system . "We arecoming more and more to realize thatSpanish is a language with a great liter-ature and that a knowledge of Spanishis important to the understanding ofthe Latin-American mind ."One does not hear so much about

the depression in Mexico . I do not be-lieve they have suffered so much . Thisis probably due to the fact that Mexicois now so highly industrialized ."While on vacation in Mexico this

summer President Bizzell was interview-ed by a representative of El Universal.The following is a translation of the ar-ticle which appeared in that Mexicannewspaper, July 6:Even though the peoples of the world are

divided by political frontiers, human cultureon the other hand, knows no barriers . Thefuture prosperity of all countries depends on

8

the dissemination in the most effective formpossible of the traditions and culture of thedifferent nations, and this is particularly truein connection with the United States andLatin America.

In these words Mr W . B . Bizzell, presidentof the University of Oklahoma, indicated theimportance of cultural interchange between thecountries of this hemisphere . Mr Bizzell isvisiting the city of Mexico and granted us aninterview yesterday .This North American educator informed us

that he has come to Mexico on a pleasure tripin company with a group of students fromvarious educational institutions of the state ofOklahoma who arrived yesterday to attendsummer courses of the Mexican National uni-versity. Every year Oklahoma, along withTexas and other states from the southern partof the American union, sends a number ofstudents to attend these courses and on thisoccasion Mr Bizzell, who has for several yearsbeen desirous of visiting our country, took ad-vantage of the opportunity to come to Mexicowith these students . He is accompanied byhis wife .

"I am decidedly in favor of cultural inter-change between Mexico and the United States,"he said to us, "since I am firmly convincedof the advantages which accrue from it forthe promotion of harmony between two peoplesand always during my activity at the head ofan educational institution in Texas, of whichstate I am a native, and of Oklahoma . I haveurged such interchange . It is doubly import-ant in the case of Mexico since her culture,her history, and her development are particu-larly interesting ."He was especially interested in the cere-

monies attending the opening of the summercourses this morning as well as the various in-terviews which he had with different officialsof the National university and of the depart-ment of education . lie told us that he wouldremain approximately three weeks in Mexico,since he planned to visit Cuernavaca, Puebla,Toluca, the pyramids of San Juan Teotihuacan,and other interesting spots in the neighborhood ;he would like also to go to Oaxaca to visitthe ruins of Monte Alban, but he is afraidthat the time at his disposal will not be suf-ficient to enable him to make this trip .

"In any case I shall have a great many in-teresting things to see and I am certain thatthis will not be my last visit to Mexico ."We spoke also with Professor Bizzell of the

tragedy in Ardmore, Oklahoma, in which theMexican students were killed, as well as of thefact that the two scholarships offered by thegovernor of Oklahoma for students from aMexican institution were not accepted .The entire population of the state of Okla-

homa deeply regretted the occurrence . The un-fortunate incident caused a painful impressionamong all classes of society," he said .And he courteously declined to be more ex-

plicit with regard to this matter, and particu-larly with regard to the scholarships .

"Fortunately," he said in conclusion, "therelations between Mexico and the UnitedStates are at present thoroughly cordial . Aconvincing proof of this fact is the ceremonyof unveiling the plaque in honor of Ambas-sador Morrow in the United States embassywhich ceremony I attended with great interest."

Dr. Glenn FrankAmong the distinguished visitors to

the campus during the summer sessionwas Dr . Glenn Frank, one-time editorof The Century Magazine and nowpresident of the University of Wiscon-

The Sooner Magazine

sin . He was the guest at a dinner pre-ceding his speech at the Class of '21Pergola auditorium, of the graduates ofthe University of Wisconsin resident inNorman . Doctor Frank was in NormanJuly 12 .President Frank declared that the

present educational dilernma is causedby the technique of overspecialization inour schools . "Intensive, technical speci-alization have resulted in diminishingreturns and the perversion of educationis working a downright harm . Speci-alization is a spade and its function,ends with digging . It has little to dowith correlating the facts that it has un-earthed ."Modern education is a series of un-

related specializations and educationalsterilization has been the result . Re-search has thrown up facts faster thanthe educator can fit them into any sat-isfactory formula of education . Thisgrowing complexity of knowledge whichhas confronted the educator has resultedin the unconscious abdication of edu-cational leadership . Appalled at themass of facts that faced him, the edu-cator turned to the green college fresh-man and said `stack them yourself' andin this manner the present elective sys-tem was born."The result of this specialization has

been a generation of "partialists" ratherthan specialists, he said .We have been successful in training techni-

cal executives but have tragically failed to fitmen for realistic statesmanship . We must re-alize the changing conditions into which ouryoung folks are placed . Life is no longer theeven tenor of events it was in past generations .The scale of enterprise is vast, relationships arecomplicated and the tempo of life is discon-certingly swift .The tendency in the present crisis is to dis-

member difficulties and send them to special-ists for settlement. The result has been a re-fusal of the specalists to assume blame for gen-eral conclusions or general policies that domi-nate the social order . In this manner ourgeneral policies have fallen into the hands ofdoctrinnaires and persons who know what theyare going after .With the onset of modern science, education

has adopted a method of handling knowledgethat was used successfully in producingknowledge. The modern college as a result ofthis policy is a loose federation of specializedenterprises and is a failure in the general fieldof social management .The aim of education is the construction,

comprehension and control of our modern com-plex social order. Our schools should aim atboth scholarizing and socializing of the stu-dent . Scholarizing is not in itself education .Education is not the problem of scholarizing,but of socializing the student so that he mayadjust himself to the current scene .

Scholarship is the quest for scientific knowl-edge . Education is the quest for social un-derstanding . The progress of society dependsupon educated men, the progress of science up-on scholars . The difficulty in the present schoolsystem is attempting to execute the two con-flicting enterprises within the same educationalinstitution, with the same faculty, with likecourses of study, and with the use of the same

October

pattern of education . Both aims have sufferedas a result .We must recognize the fact that specialization

has given us educational institutions that in themain turn out professional scholars rather thaneducated men who are able to understand andadjust themselves for the betterment of thesocial order .We must take the current scene as the point

of departure and work backward .The two roads open at the present time

are the roads of integration through education,and indoctrinization through instruction .

Saturday morning scheduleSchool teachers living within driving

distance of Norman will be able to takework leading to four hours credit inthe university this winter as the resultof a plan to give special courses on Sat-urdays for such students . The class per-iod will be doubled in order to bring itto the value of the regular weekly hourlylecture . A fee of $1 .50 is charged forenrollment in the special classes, whichwill consist principally in education,English, history, Latin and sociology andothers, as demand for them requires .Tried out last year by the college ofeducation, the plan is being given uni-versity-wide trial this year .

Finding a radium needleA radium needle valued at $2,000

which had blown from a desk in the uni-versity hospital into a wastepaper basketand so burned was recovered during thesummer by Dr . William Schriever, pro-fessor of physics, who, with a gold foilelectroscope, established the general lo-cation of the needle and then discoveredit . The ashes were brought from thehospital grounds in bushel baskets anddumped before the machine until thefourth basket showed on the electro-scope that it contained the needle . Fur-ther division of the ashes finally locatedthe needle .

The summer sessionThe summer session of the University

of Oklahoma which closed August 5(but for the second intersession immedi-ately following for a limited number ofstudents) was one of the most success-ful held . Although the enrollment wasslightly under that of 1931, almost thir-ty more persons received degrees thanthe previous year . The total enrollmentwas 2,199 for the session proper, as com-pared with 2,388 the preceding summer .There were 223 degrees conferred ascompared with 195 the preceding sum-mer commencement . The growth inpopularity of the summer session may beseen by comparing these figures withthose for 1921, when the enrollment was1,636 and the number of degrees confer-red was but fifty seven .

Perhaps the most significant featureof the session was the fact that there

1932

were ninety four master candidates, com-pared with 129 bachelor candidates .Dr . Charles Edwin Friley, formerly

of Texas Agricultural & Mechanicalcollege but now dean of the graduateschool of Iowa State college at Ameswas the commencement speaker . Dr .Charles W. Kerr, moderator of the Pres-byterian church in America and pastorof the First Presbyterian church of Tul-sa, was the baccalaureate speaker .The summer was marked by an ex-

ceptionally great interest in the intra-mural athletic program ; more peopleparticipated than ever before .

PrehistoricJ, Willis Stovall, assistant professor of

geology and restorer of prehistoric Ok-lahoma through geological discovery,continued to add to Oklahoma's store ofknowledge of its very early history dur-ing the summer when he and LlewellynPrice, assistant in geology, made an ex-ploration trip in northwestern Oklaho-ma, Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming.Among some of the accomplishments :Arranging for the recovery of a masto-don near Geary ; visiting a new dinosaurdeposit near Kenton ; the discovery ofthe bones of a racing rhino of the mi-ocene period ; the finding of the teeth ofa giant boar which originally stood sevenfeet high ; the finding of the bones of aclawed terrisodactyl, an animal some-what similar to the modern horse, aswell as teeth of various early horseswhich varied from half the size of amodern burro to the size of a burro .

Work for foreign studentsPart-time employment for foreign stu-

dents in the United States is prohibitedthis year according to a letter from theDepartment of Labor to the registrar ofthe university . Many students on thecampus are affected by these newchanges in the immigration regulations,having already procured jobs for boardand room and being wholly dependentupon them for support .The letter reads as follows :An alien seeking to enter the United States

as a student must be able to show that ade-quate financial provision has been made, or issatisfactorily assured, which will enable himto maintain uninterrupted student status be-cause the privilege of employment even parttime, will not be extended to an alien already .or hereafter, admitted to the United States asa student . If such a student engages in anybusiness or occupation for profit, or labors forhire he shall be deemed to have forfeited hisstudent status and shall be liable to arrest anddeportation .

In the future an alien seeking admission tothis country under Section 4 (e) of the Im-migration Act of 1924 as amended may be re-quired to furnish a $500 bond at time of en-try in the discretion of the port officials, con-

The Sooner Magazine

Rush system approvedThe new women's fraternity rush

system tried for the first time on theuniversity campus, according to MildredLapp, Wilburton, president of the Pan-Hellenic council and president of SigmaDelta Tau, has proved a popular success,Only a few of those who have rushedunder both systems favored a return tothe old plan of rushing,

Most of the presidents of the women'sfraternities felt that dates could be re-duced in number, eliminating a part ofthe rush program instead of making itsuch a long drawn out affair,

Attendance at non-invitational teas,which was considered the most doubt-ful part of the new program, was re-ported good by all sororities .

the state amateur golf tournament thisyear, has enrolled in the university, Hewas pledged by Sigma Chi fraternity,

Miss ProsperityOne of the most unusual vacation trips

taken by university students this summerwas the voyage of three Tulsa Beta ThetaPi's, Earl Sneed (son of Earl Sneed, '13),Allen Calvert and John Orr . A reportappearing in a summer issue of the Ok-lahoma Daily was as follows :

"Leaving port at Tulsa in their home-made cruiser which they christenedMiss Prosperity, they floated down theArkansas river until the Mississippi wasreached, Then they steered down theMississippi and on to New Orleans,

"'It took us twenty four days to getto New Orleans,' said Earl Sneed, theself-dubbed captain of the crew . 'Com-modore Calvert, Lieutenant Orr and Ihave not changed clothes for thirty fourdays .'

" `Let's tell about the three days andtwo hours in which we didn't have aclanged thing to eat,' suggested Lieu-tenant Orr.

" 'Now for cripes sake,' insisted Com-modore Calvert, `let's not dwell uponsuch pleasant memories, Be sure to putit in the paper about how we visitednone other than Governor O, K . Allenof Louisiana, the ole boss himself,'

" `Yeh,' said Captain Sneed, `and wegot a write-up in the Times Picayuneand the Lake Charles News.'

"After arriving in New Orleans, theofficers un-manned the ship, threw theirtin cans and coffee pot overboard and`jumped her' ; which means, you ignor-ant land-lubber, they gave her away .

"The three sailors resided in the pic-turesque and mosquito-inhabited Creolesection of New Orleans for six days,then negotiated for a Model-T automo-bile and returned to Tulsa and food."

Council dancesNo dance manager will be named by

the men's council this year, accordingto Joe Stamper of Clayton, president .Instead, the student trust fund commit-tee will handle the dances the first partof the semester, while later the revivedRuf Neks and Jazz Hounds will spon-sor the dances, taking half of the re-ceipts for their management, Orches-tras will be paid only $60 for each danceinstead of sharing, as formerly, in thereceipts from the dance,

A NEW DEAL

A

(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13)

opening game of the season October 1at Norman when Tulsa university,coached by Elmer "Gloomy Gus" Hend-erson, former University of SouthernCalifornia coach, invades . The Tulsateam began practice ten days earlier thanthe Sooners and has always been knownas a fast starter . Last year the GoldenHurricane won its first seven games inwhirlwind fashion, trimming Hendrix27-0, Texas Christian university 13-0,Oklahoma Baptists 25-0, George Wash-ington U. 24-7, Creighton 20-0, Phillips

October

university 31-7 and Mexico university89-0 . The victory over Texas Christianwas an especially fine achievement forthe Tulsa team since the Horned Frogslater defeated Texas A. and M., Rice,Baylor, Louisiana State and Arkansasand played Ray Morrison's powerfulSouthern Methodist Mustangs to a score-less draw .However the Sooners, under Coach

Lindsey, have also been noted for theirfast get-always . In 1930 they admin-istered to mighty Nebraska the worstfootball licking the Cornhuskers hadever taken from a Missouri Valley school,20 to 7, and last year knocked over theformidable Rice Owls 19 to 6, with onlythree weeks training .

Scheduling of the Tulsa game wasmade possible by the fact Tulsa univer-sity passed a freshman rule, Big Sixconference rules forbidding competitionagainst schools who play their freshmen .The Tulsa team should be powerfulagain this year, having lost only six ofits thirty lettermen of last year, Howard,Dubie, Bailey, Grisham, Haubersin andthe dashing fullback, Pilkington .What looms now as the toughest

game of the season is the second on theschedule, the one with Kansas at Law-rence October 8. Adrian Lindsey, Soon-er coach for the past five years, recentlyaccepted the job as Kansas backfieldcoach and has a thorough knowledge ofthe individual traits of every Sooner .But even if Lindsey weren't at LawrenceCoach Bill Hargiss has a heavy, power-ful, experienced array of returning vet-erans at the Hilltop school this fall andsome darn fine freshmen to go withthem . Ormand Beach, probably asgreat a linebacker as was ever developedin the old Missouri Valley conference, isback at fullback this year for the Jay-birds after a two-year vacation and withhim are other veteran huskies such asSchaake, Carnie Smith, Stuck, Atkeson,Casini, Hanson, Kvaternik, Zvolanek,Mehringer, Burcham, Plaskett, Borello,Gridley, Plumley, Spangler, Brazil andBaker . Kansas lost but seven letter menby graduation last year, Foy, Rost, Kite,Page, Madison, Black and Frank "Pete"Bausch .The third foe on the Sooner schedule

is Texas, whom Oklahoma hasn't de-feated since 1919 . The Longhorns willbe coached by Clyde Littlefield and re-tain a host of letter men in addition totheir two great backs, Harrison Staf-ford and Earnie Koy . "Ox" Blanton,the 215-pound tackle who has beaten theSooners the past two years with place-kicks, has graduated and also Maurice"Dutch" Baumgarten, the fighting Dutchguard . Oklahoma meets Texas at Dal-las on October 15, and by the way, re-served seats to this game have been re-
