The board of control of the Oklaho-;
ma High School Athletic Association [
in session in Oklahoma City Saturday;
decided that neither Norman high
school nor the Cherokee high school
was entitled to the championship pen-
nant for 1915, as both clubs had play-i jn

charge was ihat one or more of its
players was over 21 years of age. The
charge against the Norman team was
that one or more of its players failed
to make the grades necessary to be-
come eligible to play on the team. It
is said that both Cherokee and Nor-
man officials admitted the charge but
pleaded that they did not know at the

register, thus tersely sets forth his
views on Henry Ford's latest stunt to
hire a couple of vessels and send them
to Europe loaded down with more or
less prominent people of the United
States on a peace mission to the war-
ring countries:
"What can Mr. Ford and Miss Ad-
dams and the ninety-and-nine others
who are to make up the party—all of
them going as Mr. Ford's 'guests'—
what can they say to King George and
Emperor William and the dozen other
presidents, princes and potentates
who stand at the heads of the warring
nations that they do not already know?
Shall they say to them: 'This is a
horrible war! It is costing thousands
of lives every da" It is filling your
lands with mourning. It is piling up
-taggering loads of debt.' Don't the
kings and the presidents and the
princes know all that already, and
know it more poignantly than Mr.
Ford and Miss Addams can possibly
know it? And then when Mr. Ford
ul Miss Addams have imparted this
i formation what is it going to effect
for them to add: 'And what is more,
this awful war of yours shocks us
dreadfully. Won't you p-l-e-a-s-e
stop it!' What will the kings and the
presidents and the princes say to that?
"With their lips they will doubtless
. .ake some polite reply, for that is
the way of the great of the earth. But
in their hearts will they not deeply
resent the implication that the war,
this frightful world conflagraion in
which substantially one-half the hu-
man race is directly involved, came
from so trivial a cause or is leading to
> inconsequent a conclusion that its
continuance or cessation depends upon
the request of a shipload of junketing
.' jreigners! And in their hearts will
lhey not despise the shallow-thinkinB'
and the self-conceit which have in-
spired the idea that because one is an
American millionaire he can charter a
ship and take over a hundred men and
women and put a stop to a war in
which not men and money merely, but
empires and dynasties and the des-
tinies of nations are at stake!
