THE LEXINGTON LEADER
VOLUME 22
LEXINGTON. CLEVELAND COUNTY. OKLAHOMA. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 15. 1912
NUMBER 9
i
:
LEXINGTON
DEJEATS NOBLE
Another scalp was added to the
belt of the Lexington high school
football warriors Saturday when the
sturdy bunch handed Noble high
school a defeat by a score of 26 to
6. Lexington offered their second
team at the opening of the game
but the lineup was changed some
at the beginning of the second half
The battle during the first two
quarters was an even one, the first
quarter was scoreless but near the
close of the second, Nash for No-
ble dogged away on miscalled sig-
nals and ran twanty yards for a
touchdown. Goal was missed.
The second quarter ended with
Noble six points to the good.
With some fresh war paint and a
new war cry sounded by some
"fresh ones" Noble was swept off
their feet during the last two quar-
ters and the locals went out and
brought in twenty six scores while
Noble kept her lonely talent. Cic-
ero Merritt fairly upset the entire
Noble aggregation when lie intercep"
ted a forward pass and ran through
the "wondering willies" for fifty-
five yards and a touchdown. This
play came in the third quarter and
gave the required pep. From then
on Lexington was up and coming
and three minutes before the game
closed, after a punt had been
blocked and half of each team had
scrambled widly after the ball.
Kemp finally coralled the pigskin
and fell over the line for six more
points. The other touchdowns
were made on open style play or
due to long forward passes. Mitch-
ell scoring one touchdown while
Cicero Merritt landed the other.
Cicero Merritt was the individual
star of the game and he always
gained consistently.
With this game, Lexington has
won five games and lost two games.
They have scored a total of 127
points to their opponents 10.'5.
They have lost their two games
by large scores, Norman defeating
the team 41 to 0. early in the seas-
man. Shawnee and Chickasha all
being equal.
The lineup in the game Saturday
was as follows: centers. Kemp and
Garrett; guards, I'oe and Griffin;
tackles, Duffy and Stevens; ends,
Carter and Mitchell, George Merritt;
quarter Bennett Griffin, halves, Cic-
ero Merritt, Higbee and Stevens;
fullbacks, Blackwell and Kemp.
Referee, Edwards; umpire, Stevens,
headlinesnian, Walter Stevens.
Time of quarters, 15 minutes.
Nets. Darling Here
The entertainment given by Mr.
Nels Darling Tuesday under the
auspicious of the Christian church
was a success. Mr. Darling has
the reputation of being one of the
foremost entertainers of the state
and he fully sustained that reputa-
tion Tuesday evening. It was a
treat such as Lexington people are
seldom afforded.
Mr. Darling speaks in St. Louis
next Tuesday evening before the
National Retailers convention on
the subject, "The Retailers and
Mail Order menace."

Deutsche Gesellchaft Meeting.
The Deutsche Gesellschaft met
at the home of Herr Ille Friday
evening November 9, 1912. The
first part of the evening was devot-
ed to the study of early German
life. Herr Ille read a very interest
ing paper on the beautiful scenery
of Germany. The description win
made more realistic by the account
given by the personal observation
of his parents. After the study was
completed and the remainder of the
evening was spent in music and in
trying to sing German songs, the
most important one being Die Lor-
elei which will be given by the
Deutsche Gessellschaft next Friday
afternoon November 15, as one of
the numbers on the Literary pro-
gram. During this time dainty re-
freshments were served consisting
of cakes and fruits. At a late hour
the members of the Deutsche Ges-
ellschaft departed, each expressing
to their hostess, Mrs. Ille and their
host Herr Ille what a delightful and
profitable evening they had spent
in their home. The club will meet
again December 9 at the home of
Fraulein Turk.

It is very doubtful whether
Chickasha will be played or not
this season. It seems that Chicka-
sha is very much averse to leaving
their own battleground and are not
going to take any chances on losing
the championship. Chickasha has
canceled their game with Shawnee
to be played in Shawnee and ac-
cording to the rules of the Oklaho-
ma High School Athletic associa- j
tion has laid herself liable to for-
feit of (he title. Shawnee accor-

Akin is Located.
Oliver Akin, erstwhile representa-
tive in the legislature from Cleve-
county, author of the Akin school
bill, principal of the Moore schools,
but more recently the leading light
in a bogus check act, has been ap-
prehended at Los Angelos, whence
he had fled after duping business
men at Norman and Noble out of
three hundred dollars via the "hot
check" route. Sheriff Ike Sales
d County Attorney George Gra-
ham have left for the coast to ob-
tain recognition from the governor
of California, on the requisition pa-
pers. It is more than probable that
Akin will soon be brought back to
answer the charges preferred against
him by several firms.
. W ithout a doubt this case is one
of the most peculiar and surprising
that has ever nappened. For a
man to spend the years that Akin
has iii preparation for making a
name, graduate of the Norman high
school, student of the university,
conductor of the Cleveland county
teachers institute and principal of
schools over the county the past
four years; to sell out his future for-
ever for a mere pitance seems un-
beleivable. Many think that a
more serious trouble than school
bill operations prompted Akin to
do as he has done. He was one
of the brightest young men in
Cleveland county, energetic and a
worker in all undertakings, it is
certainly regretable. His chances
for the penitentiary are extremely
roseate and it seems from the evi-
dence at hand that he would occu-
py a berth there soon since the
laws of Oklahoma are especially
stringent in thot particular.

the way is a brother of District

same democratic brand as Tom and
says Woodrow Wilson will make
one of the greatest presidents this
