FOUNTAIN PLAN
BEING FINISHED
Scheme to Have Stones from Every
County of State Given up; to Be
Finished by Jan. 1
Definite efforts are now being made
to carry out the plan of building a
fountain in the circle between the Ge-
logy and Library buildings, said C. W.
Shannon, director of the Oklahoma Ge-
ological survey.
The original plan called for a col-
lection of stone sfrom every county in
the state for the erection of the foun-
tin. This plan, however, cannot be car-
ried out because of the fact that some of
the counties have no granites, limestones
or other suitable material that will re-
sist wear and time.
The fountain is to consist of a ce-
ment basin suromunted by a two-foot
wall of the different stones. In the
center of the pool will be a cone of
rocks forming the foundation for the
water spout. It is planned to have the
water level even with the level of tht
sidewalk.
It is intended to have the foifitain
completed by the first of the year,
Shannon said. All that is delaying the
work is the fact that a part of the ma-
terial for the wall is lacking.

IIOU8E LIKES
FRENCH PLAY
The Imaginary Invalid, Shown in
Paris in 1903, Makes Imprestiion
on Language Professor
"When I was in Paris, in 1903," said
Dr. R. T. House to a Daily reporter.
"I saw this play 'Le Malade Imaginaire'
(Tht Imaginary Invalid) given at the
Comedie Francaise, the famous nation-
al French treater.
"it made one of the strongest im-
pressions of my early life, both on ac-
count of the screaming humor of the
farce itself and on account of the fact
that the actor who played the leading
role was the world-famed French com
edian, Coquelin. I cannot imagine any-
thing funnier than the combination of
that part with that actor, though an)
actor of ability could make of the part
a thing that would tickle the risibles of
a marble statue."
The actor who played in the perform-
ance which Dr. House was discussing
wa the younger of two famous broth-
ers, both exponents of the histrionic ar
—the elder being a famous heroic ac-
tor. The younger, commonly called
Coquelin cade, afterward toured this
country with Mine. Sarah Bernhardt, oi
one of the most successful of her num-
erous visits.
Bernhardt and Colquelm co-starred in
several comedies by Moliere, the most
popular of which wag "The Imaginar..
Invalid."

The "Rock Hounds," alias Sigma
Gamma Epsilon, enlarged their pack
considerably yesterday by initiating nine
men into the order.

to the realm of the "Rock Hounds" and
consequently into the world of folds and
faults were: W. A. Watkins, Hubert
Bale, Paul Teas, Henry Conkling, Har-
old Thomason, Clarence Buttram, Paul
Hunter, Charles Milncr and Walter
McClellan.
The initiation ceremonies consisted of
the copious application of burdens and
paddles. Following a day of toil with
ckul!s and rather enlarged samples of
Oklahoma minerals the would be Sig-
ma Gams hoofed it seven miles to the
country for the final number on the
nitiation program. A banquet wac

night with V. E. Monnett, Dr. J. B
Utnpleby, Dr. C. E. Decker and Dr. C

No Holiday to Be Given but All Get
Opportunity to See Team ji
Action Against Aggies
University of Oklahoma students
won't get a holiday Friday for the
Stillwater game but they will get some-
thing almost as good.
All cuts incurred Friday by students
attending the game will be excused, Dr.
Brooks announced Wednesday after-
noon. This will give every student that
wishes, the opportunity to go to the Ag-
gie-Sooner clash.
Agitation for a holiday for the Ag
-ie game was voiced by the Oklahoma
Daily several weeks ago. According
.0 Doctor Brooks, legislative reasons
is well as precedent is against the
turning out of school for the entire
,:n Many legislators who are disin-
terested in athletics themselves would
ake the declaring of a holiday by the
university for a football game as a
waste of money. This, added to the
precedent in force for the past three
j ears of granting no holidays other
than those scheduled in on university
calendar, was enough to overrule the
request for the free day.
Rooters making the trip by car should
make arrangements with the dean of
their school, or college in order that
their names may be placed on the cut
exemption list.
Must Turn in Names
Students who purchased tickets and
turned in their names to W. L. Ingham
Wednesday night at the Teepee will
have all cuts removed. The ticket sale
will continue Friday morning. Names
of purchasers will be turned in to the
ticket agent who will give their name
to the registry office for cut exemp-
tion.
Several extra coaches will be added
to the regular train which will leave
Norman at 6:0S Friday morning, ac-
cording to an announcement by W. L
Ingham, local ticket agent for the Santa
Fe railroad. The train will return im-
mediately after the game and will ar-
rive in Norman at 9:55 p. m. Ar-
rangements for the special train could
not be made on account of the short-
age of locomotives.
Round trip fare will amount to $7.22,
but one-way tickets may be purchased
by those who wish to spend the weel:
end in Aggieland.
500 Seats Reserved
Accommodations at the game have
been assured. Five hundred seats wili
be reserved for the crowd of students
from the university, Ed Gallagher, di-
rector of athletics at the Aggie school,
said Monday over long distance tele-
phone.
Sooner co-eds who go to the game
will be chaperoned by Miss Margaret
Mitchell, head of the correspondence
tudy department. The names of all
•iris who make the trip must !>e in the
hands of Miss Ethel Lyons, adviser of
aomen. Those who have not turned in
their names to Miss Lyons must have
written permission from their parents
!o make the trip.
Due to the fart that cuts will be ex-
used for students who make the trip
Friday, probably as many as 600 lusty-
throated Sooner rooters will journey to
the Aggie school to witness the clash.

Country Club Grounds, Three Miles

for Remainder of Week
BOOMER TEAM DISMISSED
Injuries to Varsity Placed at Door of
Charting Fresh; Called Best Team
in School's History
With but two more games left on the
l(>22 schedule the S'M-ners went ahead
v ith their week of preparation for the
annual mix with the Oklahoma State
i oil. -,e Aggies . ti Friday. N ivembcr 24
at Stillwater, Tuesday an.l Wednesday
afternoons on the Norman Country club
.'.rounds three miles reino.cd from the
university campus.
What the huskies did and how they
did it remains a subject of aboslule
mystery save for the fact that they were
excused from the gruelling grind of
costume changes by the actors. When
by practically all of the first string
maulers, and because the entire squad
was going stale on the daily mass mass-
acres.
Boomers Dismissed
Following the group picture taken at
4:30 Wednesday afternoon Director of
Athletics Ben G. Owen dismissed the
Meacham Boomers from further partic-
ipation in grid activities this year. The
reason for the dismissal of the fresh
men at the seemingly early stage of the
game is also laid at the doors of the
injury jinx purstieing the varsity which
made the crippled Owen men unable to
continue against the terrific onslaughts
of the red-cap machine. Thus closing
with the picture-taking bee the l')22
Boomer team, one of the liest if not the
best in the history of the university,
passes into history.
Practice Here Today
After a light practice held this after
noon the Sooner mentors, accompanied
by the gridsters, the Jazz Hounds, Mex
and a mob of rooters which is expectcd
to embrace one third of the entire en
rollment of Soonerland will embark for
Aggieville. The squad will spend the
night in Guthrie before proceeding to
Stillwater on Friday morning.
Because of the crippled condition of
the Sooner aggragation the Owen men
go into their twenty-third mix with Ag
gie grid machines with scarcely more
than an even break for victory. The
entire list of games, which reaches back
into the dim and musty past, shows the
Stillwater men having but one victory
to show for their troubles and labors
The lone Aggie win came during the
war year, 1917, and was put over thru
a touchdown and a field goal which
gave the final score 9-0.
There is a scarcity of "paper dope"
on the two teams this year and the on-
ly team which both aggregations have
met is the Central crew from up Ed
tnond way. On October 7 the Aggie*
turned back th ttnen of Wantland at
Stillwater to the tune of 17-0, while the
following Saturday the Sooners went
the Maull>etsch team two points better
and hung up a 19-0 score on the former
normalises. However Ivith of these
games were early in th eseason before
either the Sooners or the Aggies had
rounded into form and before the and
before the injury menace appeared in
full force.
