TO MEET AUSTIN NETMEN
Parks and O'Connel] Play Longhoras
•n Their Ground Friday
and Saturday
The University of Oklahoma tennis
team, Ben K. Parks, captain, George
O'Connell and John Harrington, en-
trained Wednesday night for Austin,
Tex., where they will meet the Long-
horn net men in seven tennis matches
Friday and Saturday, November 11 and

tin at 4:30 p. m. Thursday in time for
a limbering up process on the Texas
courts after their long journey to the
south. The Sooners have not met the
Longhorns since 1918 in tennis. Since
that date Oklahoma has become a lead-
er in the Missouri Valley tennis circles.
Parks now holds the Valley singles
championship and the Sooners were
runners-up in the doubles title race last
spring.
The Oklahomans have met and defeat-
ed Illinois racqueteers this fall and were
defeated by the Washington squad. The
Texas tourney is being watched closely
by the Sooner followers in order to
compare southern tennis with that of
the northern states that the Sooners have
been witnessing in the past three years.

Battle
Old Timer at Halfback
Thinks, They're Little
Dr. R. •A. "Hutch" Morter, Kal-
amazoo, Mich., Sooner halfback in
11-08 and 1909, appeared on the
football field yesterday for the
first time in years. The former
Sooner was surprised that the var-
sity squad is made up of such
"small men." He said that in
Michigan football men were regu-
lar giants, which explains why he
thought Sooner men, huskies that
pre the heaviest Soonerland ever
Jiad, are so small.
With the Kansans disposed of this
season, the Sooner football eleven set-
tled down to heavy workout Monday
afternoon preparing for their ancient
rivals, the University of Missouri. The
Sooner squad will leave tonight for
Columbia, Mo., where they play Sat-
urday.
A pep meeting will be held in the uni-
versity auditorium at 7 o'clock tonight
to give the team a send-off and to re-
mind Sooner rooters that the season is
not over. "Get that '7 o'clock sharp'

who debated at home last year a chance
to debate away from home this time.
Lee will be assisted in coaching by
Angus Woodford and J. Keene Hor-
ner, student assistants in public speak-
ing. Woodford will assist with the
squad who debate on the immigration
question and Horner with the men on
the Irish question.
These debates will take place in March
and April. Men have already begun their
work on questions. Alternates who
work will receive two hours credit the
same as the men who debate on the

The question for the Missouri debate
has not been decided yet.
24 to 7. Another angle of the dope sheet
is via the Pikers of St. Louis. The
Sooners defeated the Pikers 28 to 13 in
their first conference game of the rea-
son and the Pikers scored their two
touchdowns after Owen had pulled his
first eleven in the third quarter. The
Tigers were victorious over the Pikers
last week by the narrow margin of one
touchdown.
The only means of comparison which
gives the Missourians the advantage is
through the Oklahoma Aggies. The
Tigers staged a track meet with the
Aggies for a 35 to 0 defeat while the
Owen men were fought to a stand still
