Fourteen hundred students
and citizens are feasting on
barbecued meat and Steffens
ice cream on Boyd Field this
afternoon as the Transcript
goes to press. The Steffens-
Brecht company of Oklahoma
City phoned down this morn-
ing proposing to donate 1400
cones and the ice cream to fill
them, and their offer was
promptly accepted—which of-
fer indicates the heart of the
Steffens' people is in the right
place. The rejocing is by no
means confined to Norman.

"Say, man, this is sure some game!"
The telegraph operator on the foot-
Jail grounds at Dallas broke into his
sending with this interjection, and
from all reports it fully describes the
game in a very few words. All reports
are that it was the most intensely ex-
citing game ever played in the south-
west and witnessed by one of the larg-
est crowds. The Dallas News of Sun-
day devotes almost a page to the
game, the gist of it being as follows:
"Coming from behind twice and
beating Texas at Texas' own game
the Oklahoma Sooners yesterday
squared off some old scores by defeat-
ing the Longhorns, 14 to 13, before ap-
proximately 11,000 rabid, frantic
spectators at the State Fair. Oklaho-
ma played better football and deserv-
ed to win. In two quarters, the second
and fourth, the invaders clearly out-
played Texas and that the Sooners did
not put over two touchdowns in the
last period was due rather to the good
fortune of the Longhorns than to su-
perior playing on their parts. Oklaho-
ma showed an attack different from
any it has ever had in the past, and
the victory which rested on its banner
may be attributed directly to the
magnificent manner in which Bennie
Owens' warriors handled the forward
pass.
"The crowd that witnessed th^ con-
test was by far the greatest gathering!
ever at a football game in Texas. At!
2 o'clock, an hour before the schedule
time for the game, about a thousand!
people were seated in the large grand-1
stand and the bleachers across the'
field were practically filled. Before
the first kick-off every available seat
on the ground was taken and a mass!
of humanity six and eight deep crowd-

sembly room are connected by folding
doors so they can be thrown into one
room. The basement is thus capable
of splendid use in Sunday school
work, and will also meet all needs as
a place for social and community
gatherings, where it is desired to have
ample room and facilities for furnish-
ing refreshments to large numbers of
people. The main floor of the build-

a lecture room that will accommodate
100 people, which can be shut off from
the main room by rolling partitions.

Imitations and misrepresentations
of labels on Wooltex garments are
becoming so frequent as to make it
increasingly difficult to distinguish
between the genuine and the
fraudulent.
Some merchants unable to secure
for themselves the privilege of selling
\\ ooltex Coats, Suits and Skirts are
representing inferior makes of wom-
en s clothing as genuine Wooltex
garments.
The Wooltex label is sewn into every Wooltex
garment and is protected by the United States govern-
ment. Only those garments bearing the registered
Wooltex label are genuine Wooltex garments.
The privilege of selling Wooltex coats, suits and
skirts is granted to but one store in this city The
Store Hut Sells Wooltex. At this store, and this
store alone, can you secure coats, suits and skirts which
bear the Wooltex label.

V BEAUTIFUL GIFT
R. FLAG POLIO
At the last meeting of Norman
i Lodge, I. O. O. F., his brethren pre-
■ sented Mr. S. M. Moore with a beau-
| tiful I. O. O. F. pin. It has "25" in
golden figures in its center, surround-
ed by emblems of the Order, and is a
. gift of which anyone may well be
I proud—and it is needless to say Mr.
; Moore is very proud of it.
The "25" represents the number of
years "Daddy" Moore has been a
member of Norman Lodge, from the
very first day it was organized.
M. TURNER'S BARN BURNED
Albert Carter Post G. A. R. is get-
ting ready to put up their fine flag
fioje, and will place it in some con-
spicuous place in one of the parks, or
in the middle of the street between
Edwards and Citizens parks if they
can get permission from the etty
council. The pole will be a very sub-
stantial one, and surmounted with ft
large American eagle. They are ar-
ranging, too, for one of the finest and
largest flags they can secure.
New shipment just like the
above suits are due to arrive
at RUCKER9 S Tomorrow.
Tuesday.
The barn 011 M. Turner's place,
formerly the ex-Sheriff Geo. Smith

succeeded in saving the adjoining
buildings. The loss was several hun-
dred dollars, with some insurance.
