Another step toward the com-
pletion ot the paving of U. S.
highway titi from Oklahoma City
to the Texas line was effected
tills week with the closing of
the slab gap between Clinton and
Weatherford, local officials of
the highway association announc-
ed.
The paving crew was working
between Hydro and Bridgeport

strip Thursday. With this com-
pleted it will leave the highway
paved from Oklahoma City to the
Texas line except for the stretch
between Bridgeport anil the end
of the concrete 10 miles west
of El Reno, and the gap for
the underpasses at Weatherford
and Canute.
(id Celebration Planned
The new pavement completed
this week will be open for trat-
lic about Thanksgiving, it was
said,
The state highway commission
recently announced that it would
let contracts for the grade and
drainage work on the cut-off be-
tween Bridgeport and the end of
the slab nine miles west of El
Reno. If this is effected, it is
expected that the strip will laur
be paved. The only other por-
tion of highway 06 in Oklahoma
remaining unpaved Is in Craig
county in the northeastern corner
cf the state.
'Plans are being made to stage
a celebration next spring at Clin-
ton after the completion of the

An outstanding feature of the
game were the Indians superior
to the hungry Wolves, outpuntlng
and outpasslng them in a notice-
able manner.
Shortly after the opening of the
clash, after El Reno had drawn
a 15-yard penalty for unnecessary
roughness, the Wolves took the
hall and marched it through
straight football to the one yard
j line from where Melvin Skelton,
l.iant fullback plunged the ball
over for the first touchdown An
attempt to kick goal for the ex-
tra point went low.
Although the Indians kept their
heavier adversaries from scoring
until the latter part of the third
quarter after the early assault,
the Shawnee machine was con-
stantly threatening the lndiat,
goal line.

of the ball on the 36 yard line

si (ond and final Hcore
In the same period the In-

a 25-yard beautiful puss Crow-

fleet Indian halfback continued
for a gain of 36 yards before be-
ing nailed by tho Wolverine safe-
ty man. Reed also got off a
beautiful 89 yard punt which
rolled over the goal Hie in this
quarter.
The Indians were jilaced under
an early disadvantage when on
the third play of the game. Mac

El Reno eleven sustained and
ankle injury and was taken from
the game, and was not sent lu
again until late in the final quar-
ter. Crowley shifted to quarter-

Tho Wolves twice threatened
dangerously the Indian goal line
in ihe fourth quarter, but the
stubborn Indian defense tighten-

sault of the experienced Shawnee
war-horses.
