NORMAN HIGH VS.
SHAWNEE HIGH
Big Thanksgiving Game to be Play-
ed In Norman on Boyd Field—
Some Comparative Dope.
Norman footb all enthusiasts will
see a battle royal Thanksgiving Day
when the Norman High and Shawnee
High fooiball teams line up on Boyd
Field to do battle. The -Varsity
football team will not be here and
the local high school lads will hold
full sway. Shawnee is coming strong
and from their record this season
they will furnish all kinds of excit-
ment for the wearers of "orange and
black." Tbev have romped over and
beaten Oklahoma City High and
Lawton High, without doubt two of
the strongest high school team in the
state.
They will bring a large delegation
and a band to Norman and intend
walking off with the long end of the
score. The high school boys have
had a good rest since the Lawton
game and Captain Park Geyer sa\s
all the boys will put up the best game
of the season. They want to beat
Shawnee and then get a post season
game with Oklahoma Citv. This
season Norman High has defeated
Enid 24 to 0, El Reno 35 to 0 and Law-
ton 12 to 0. But Shawnee may turn
the tables a tyway you look at it, it
will be a battle right and every fol-
lower of the team should be out and
root for Norman High. The high
school team will be picked from the
following men: Captain Geyer, Neal
Johnson, Mont. Johnson, Flarvey Col
lins, Taft, Stopner, Bruce Givens,
Abshier, S>ril, Sloniger, Keith Mil
'ler, Lewis, Goodrich, Gray, McFer-
ron. Get out and root, and talk up
the game.

Teh Latest Election Tale.
Election tales are out of date, but
the predicament of an Okmulgee
candidate for justice of the peace is
too amusing to pass. He refussed to
vote for himself, casting his ballot
for the other two candidates. As a
result, those two got 310 and 309, and
he got only 308. The others ought to
be ashamed to take the office.
