CLEVELAND COUNTY ENTERPRISE
VOLUME 19
NORMAN, OKLAHOMA THURSDAY MAY 4, 1!
TONKAWA WIRS BIG
ATHLETIC MEET
University Preparatory School
Scores a Total of 24 Points;
Ardmore Second,
L.C.H.S Third
The seventh annual Interscholastic
meet of the Oklahoma high schools
held Friday and Saturday on Boyd
Field was won by the University
Preparatory school of Tonkawa.
Seven thousand five hundred people
watched the athletes, and saw the
closest meet in the history of like
events. It was a great success. Four-
teen schools scored points. New rec-
ords were set in many of the events.
The great bleachers made a truly
great scene, filled to the guards with
the large gala-day crowd bedecked in
the rainbow colors of holiday attire.
Meet Well Run.
The meet was in charge of the Uni-
versity authorities, l'rof. Washburn
was general manager, while Professor
O'Hern acted as chief assistant. These
men and their corps of assistants kept
the oval clear at all times, ran off the
events with such dispatch as has
marked no meet held here before, and
handled the throng in a commend-
able manner.
The girls of the University Y. W
C. A. served lunches and drinks on the
grounds and few people left the
campus from early in the morning un-
til nearly nightfall.
Tonkawa won the big meet by a
decisive score and will retain posses-
sion of the cup. They garnered
twenty-four points, while Ardmore,
the nearest competitor, had but four-
teen. Logan county, Purcell, Chand-
ler, Oklahoma City, Lawton and
Pryor followed in the order named,
the first and last being separated by
but three points. A number of others
recorded six points or less, but many
of the schools entered failed to score,
although they put up game battles
and showed well in preliminaries. The
all-around medal goes to Claude Neil-
son of Ardmore. This is the first
time he was entered. Neilson is a
peerless little -printer and a year or
so of coaching and training should
put him in rcord breaking form.
Neilson was first with thirteen points,
Chambers of Purcell second with ten,
Wilhitc of Lawton third with nine,
and several others followed close.
Chandler Makes Good.
The most remarkable performance
of the meet was by the lads from
Chandler. But six were entered from
this school, all young boys and only
one had ever participated in a meet
before. They won two firsts and
that are likely to stand for some
broke records in both events, setting
marks in the hammer throw and mile
time.
It was a great day for breaking rec-
ords. Four were smashed in the
course of the fourteen events and one
was tied. The first new mark was
set in the discus throw. Chambers,
of Purcell, secured the new record
in this event. Caudill, of Tonkawa,
set a* new mark in the high jump.
Bradshaw, of Chandler, smashed his
former record made in the meet of
1909 in the hammer throw and Mc-
Cuan, of Chandler, established a fast
record in the mile run. The record
in the low hurdles was tied.
The sprints were all slow and un-
eventful when compared with those
races when Davenport, Weigl, Wal-
ker and Trab Wilhitc took part in
the meets. The first Fast spt;int was
the quarter-mile dash. Twenty-seven
men got away with the starter's
pistol and it was a neck and neck
fight to the finish, which was broken
by Milne, of L. C. II. S.
In the hammer throw Bradshaw,
of Chandler, broke his former record
at each successive try and finished
with a toss of over 146 feet, breaking
the record by more than twelve feet.
Feature Races
The half mile run was one of tile
prettiest of the races. Papan of Paw-
nee, said to be a former Carlisle In-
dian school runner, came to the fore
and won easily in a brilliant burst of
speed. The mile run was by all odds
the feature event of the big day. A
big field was entered and they were
strung almost half way round the
quarter mile track at the finish of the
first lap. Livingston, of Oklahoma
City, led off and kept the place nearly
all the way, trying to shake his field
in the early stages of the run. Mc-
Cuan of Chandler ran in third place
until near the finish when he came
to the front and overhauled the O,
II. S. lad at the lap. Stadt of O. H.
S., who had been well up all the way,
SHAWNEE SGHOOL
DEFEATS NORMAN
Lion Cup Goes To Winner
After Hard Fight.
INTERESTING DEBATE
Before .1 good sized audience Friday
night at the Trailing, Shawnee high
1 school defeated Norman high school
| in joint debate. Shawnee defended the
:negative side of the question. Resolved:
| That ♦he United States should Forti-
fy the Panama Canal. I>y winning- this
debate Shawnee will hold possession
, of the Lion Store Cup which goes to
! the winner in interscholastic debate.
Norman has been the winner of the
trophy fiv* times.
The debate was a hard fought one
and many of those who attended say
that they would have picked Norman
high as an easy winner. Many of the
high school visitors who looked at the
debaters from a non-partisan stand-
point say Norman should have been
given the decision. In fact the grad-
ing of points on a basis of argument,
rebuttal and delivery gave Norman
High a total of 707 points to Shawnee's
700, but two of the Judges declared
themselves as favorable to Shawnee
for tlu> decision and the victory was
given to them All six <>f the young
men were forceful speakers and it was
a problem to pick ti* best man. Roy
Lewis of Norman had the highest
average of the two teams.,
Charles Mayes, Roy, Ambrister and
Roy Lewis represented Norman and
LeRoy Mullin, Frank Ru-hton and |
llaylor Fisher upheld the negative for
Shawnee. The judges of the debate
were County Judge F. B. Swank, Prof.
J. B. Cheadle <>1 the University Law
school, and Prof. F. A. Buck of Logan
County high school, of Guthrie.
Shawnee paraded the streets cele-
brating their victory.

and a close watch was kept* on him
up until Monday when tin- sheriff
was telephoned for to come and take
him in hand. He was raving right
and the trip to town was a strenuous
one. Tile sights of Norman seemed
to agitate the unfortunate man more
than ever and he let out some Choc-
taw yells that surely broke tip the
quietude of Norman. It did not take
the insanity board long to decide the
man's condition and he was soon on
his way to the place where they can
rave to their heart's content. This
is his second time round, having hi • u

! Divide Games with Stillwater
by Scores of 8-3 and 9-1
Bennie Owen's Sooners were re-
turned victors Thursday afternoon in
their game with the Stillwater Aggies
by a score of 8 to *1, but the tables
were reversed and on Friday they
bowed flown before the boys from the
north under a 9 to one score. The
! first game, with Courtright heaving,
, was a repetition of the Texas game
land the eighth inning rally netted
tile Sooners eight runs, making the'
' final score 8-3. Friday the Stillwater
aggregation had everything their own
way and their bludgeons were work-1
ing overtime. The heavy artillery |

WINS FERRARI
Local Lads Walk off with
Baseball Honors.
A FAST LITTLE TEAM.
Beat Anadarko Friday and Frederick
Saturday.
From ex-champions in football to
champions in baseball is the honor
which the Norman high school base-
hall team accomplished Friday and
Saturday at llic Interscholastic meet.
In the championship high school base-
ball scries they defeated Frederick
High in the finals by a score of 3 to 1.
The local high schoolers were too fast
all the way through and the brand of
ball they put up made the other teams
look rather mushy. Friday afternoon,
before about 1200 fans Norman jolted
Anadarko loose from a victory by a
score of 9 to 6 by smashing the ball to
all corners of the lot. Friday morning
Frederick beat Tecumseh High by a
score of 4 to 2. But the championship
belt was brought home Saturday morn-
ing when the "Orange and Black"
pill chasers swamped the Frederick-
ites. "Three Fingered" Wails, captain
of the team, served 'em up for Nor-
man in both games and the stuff he
put on the pillct had the opposing
Hans Wagners and Ty Cobbs biting
and slashing great gashes in the
ozone. A beautiful trophy cup was
awarded the team and they will be
looked upon as champions in high
school baseball for tne coming year.
Spot Geyer, "Chief" Stogner, Mont
Johnson, Neil Johnson, and Captain
Wails were the shining ones in the
local bunch. The entire bunch loom-
ed up right and deserve the title of
"Champions."
