University High School
Adopts New Sysem Grade
Student Athletic Effort
Athletic and scholastic honors will
be awarded in the university high
M-hool by a new system initiated this
{all, according to Prof. R. 11. Weth-
erbee, principal.
Interest in athletics and in studies
that will keep the boys doing their
b< -t and striving for supremacy,
while doing them the maximum
amount of physical and scholastic
benefit, is the aim of this systematized
; warding of honors.
The following plan was explained
by I'rof. YV. 11. McCalister, athletic
director.
lour groups of 15 men each, which
include all of the men in the university
high, were chosen by electing leaders
and drawing names from a hat to
serve under these leaders all through
the year. These groups will elimi-
nate and pick the best teams they can
put into the field to play against the
teams from the other groups.
Takes in All Sports
This will be carried through the

In one showing the cleanest record
n that line will receive 1 (X) points.
The all-round athlete in the track ami
ticlil i.iret anil in the other sports
will be awarded 50 to count toward
ti roup honors.
Efforts Are Graded
Individual honors that may be won
by boys total 100 points and are ap-
portioned, 40 points to the highest
grades, 25 points to the best all
round track and field athlete, etc. Stu-
dent activities and other things make
up the rest.
The efforts of aspirants in trying
to make the teams, get scholastic
honors, or excell instudents activities
of other kinds are graded in points
which count toward honors. This is ;
a feature which gives those a chance
who suffer disabilities through some I
mental or physical characteristic over
which they have no control.
By the plan followed at the univer-
sity high, the groups will have one
week to eliminate and form a team to

door baseball, track and field sport
i. eball and tennis successively, as

to take part in them and play at least
in the try-outs.

championship in that sport, and for

year.
1 he group winning the highest
■cholastic record will he awarded 200
points toward their group standing at
the end of the year. Sportsmanship
shown by groups will be judged and
games. They will play those games
until the championship ifc decided,
taking seven weeks for a season.
Two Games a Week
For this football sesaon which was
begun late, probably two games will
be played every remaining week until
Thanksgiving, when basketball conies
into its own. McCalister explained.
The group lead by Carl Carlin was
snowell under by 21 to 0 in the inter-
group football game played Friday
afternoon, giving them something oi
a set-back after holding Roger Fenn's i
gang so well the week before. (,roups

Overconfidence in the word of others caused the Tran-
script to fail to give the election returns as had been prom-
ised. We were confident up to 4 o'clock Tuesday after-
noon that we would have our connections with the Asso-
ciated Press as per our contract and furnish the election
returns in front of our office as we had planned. Contracts
had been signed early last week with the Associated I'ress
for the election returns and with the Western Union 1 ele-
graph company of Oklahoma City for an extension of the
v/ire to the Transcript office. After many repeated long
distance calls Monday and up to 4 o'clock Tuesday p. m.,
we had the assurance of the Western Union Telegraph
company that they would have the proper connections
made as contracted.
Because of the arrangements made with the Associated
Press and Western Union we secured a telegraph operator
from Purcell who reported for duty soon after the arrival
here of the 3 o'clock Santa Fe train.
Had we not had confidence that our contract with the
Western Union to make the connections as agreed we
might have made other arrangements and thus avoided a
very embarrassing situation in which it places us by the
disappointment of the many who were here to receive the
returns.
Overconfidence in others in this instance causes us to
express our regrets at our failure to j'ive the service expect-
ed and promised.

ate, at noon today by a small
