DEMOCRATIC STUDENTS
ORGANIZE CRUCE CLUB
Two Hundred University Students
Organize Wednesday Evening -
Officers Elected.
Nearly two hundred University
students met in the Chapel Hall
Wednesday afternooi to perfect, the
organization of a student democrat-
ic club.
The following officers were elected
for the coming ye*r, Thos. Mayfield,
Pres; Louis Lelbetter, Vice Pres;
Loyd Maxwell, Seo'y. and Treasurer
and J. T. Bryan, Cor. Sec'y.
It was a very enthusiastic meeting
in every way. The President addres-
sed the club in a very able manner,
after which a committee was ap-
pointed to secure rooms in town to
be used as headquarters, and a com-
mittee to draft resolutions, endors-
ing the Democratic State Adminis-
tration.
The Cluo expects to securi several
able speakers for Norman during the
next few weeks.
State Fair.
A number of Norman people took
in the state fair Friday. The day was
ideal, one of the finest of the fair.
The .fair itself was one of the best
state fairs ever held in any state. The
stock exhibit was wonderful. The
poultry exhibit was hardly as large
and fine as we expected but the hogs,
horses and cattle exhibits were great.
The machinery exhibit was extensive
and in the art and science building and
mineral building the exhibits could
hardly be seen through in a week's
time. Cleveland county showed up
strong in the stock, and agricultural
departments and in fact we rather
think won more prizes than any oth-
er county in the state. Of the four
exhibits in honey and bees Cleveland
county furnished three of them,
Garee of Noble, Bartholomew of
Norman and Burrage & Hutchin of
l-iitle River were the Cleveland coun-
ty exhibitors. The other was by Sen-
ator Coulson of Alfalfa county. Ga-
ree and Bartholomew were the prize
winners in this exhibit.

Ferris Addresses Students.
The speech of the Hon. Scott Fer-
ris, representative in congress from
the fifth Oklahoma district, who ad-
dressed the student body in chapel
Friday, shows that he is a warm
friend of education and the state Uni-
versity in particular, and recognizes
the need of new buildings at once it
the school is to keep pace with the
great and growing state of Oklaho-
ma. "Not only," said Mr. Ferris, "do
we want to make this a big university
—one worthy of the state and the
progressive attitude of its people, but
we want to make it the best state
university west of the Mississippi
river and to my mind there is no reas-
on why it should not in time become
so.' He advocated u liberal appro-
priation for the University at the next
session of the legislature and pledged
his support in securing the same.
De^icratic Candidates.
The county Democratic candidates
left Monday morning in a covered
wagon for a week's campaigning tour.
The boys go to a school house,
spn'tlL camp, and then go in different
directions, campaigning and advertis-
ing the speaking for the night. They
held meetings at Liberty Monday
'flight. Elm Grove Tuesday night, Val-
Key View Wednesday night, and
"Diamond la>t night.
They report big meetings each
night, and much interest being taken
by the voters of the various pre-
cincts.
Each tamlidate speaks for a few
minutes, after which music is furn-
ished by the candidates.
They will hold if" meeting at Perry
tonight.
Next week they will visit Robin-
son on Monday night, Stella Tuesday
night, Franklin Wednesday night,
Grotts Thursday night, and Adair
Friday night.
Don't fail to go out and hear the
candidates on the issues of the cam-
paign.
Judge Jackson was on the sick list
the first of this week. Too much
pur plan pie he thought.

service.
Oklahoma Strong in Foot Ball.
Football at the University of Okla-
homa was never so much talked of on
the campus before and never in form-
er years were prospects so bright for
a winning team. With most of the
"Old Guard" back and playing the
game under the new rules with a
familiarity that shows they have
given it thought during the summer
months, and enough new material
wearing the padded toggery to build
two speedy football machines, Coach
Kennie Owen is wearing the smile
that i> warranted to stay.
Scrimmage work has been indulged
in freely during the past week, and
the candidates for gridiron honors arc
fast rounding into playing form tin
der the gruelling practice that is re-
quired. The schedule for this season,
while not as long as that of last year,
is by far the stiffest the Sooners have
ever conditioned for. As announced
to date it follows.
Kingfisher College, Oct. 7, at Nor-
man.
Oklahoma Christian University,
Oct. 14, at Enid.
Oklahoma "Aggies," Oct. 21, at
Norman.
Missouri University. Out. 28, at
Joplin, Mo. '
Fairmount College, Nov. 4, at Nor-
man.
Kansas University, Nov. 12, at Ok-
lahoma City.
Texas University, Nov. 2.S, at Aus-
tin, Texas.
Sooners Overwhelm Kingfisher Fri-
day.—Score 66 to 0.
On Boyd Field Friday, Bonnie
Owen and his squad of 1910 football
proteges opened their season's work
by handing Kingfisher 'the goose
egg end of a 66-0 affair. As the score
would indicate the game was devoid
of interest but it gave the 'Varsity
men a chance to basque in tile lime
light and they more than did that one
thing. It was a footrace from start
to finish. A bid for low records in
long and short dashes, daring, spec-
tacular 100 yard returns of kickoffs;
drop kicks. AH the sensations i'i foot-
ball's calendar. So fast and accu-
rate was the play of the Varsity that
at the end of the second quarter the
score board showed a total of 'Var-
sity 52, Kingfisher 0.
When the teams fined up at th
start of the second half what a
change greeted the howling, jubilant
fans. An entire new team. Yes, and
a good one too. They romped over
their opponents the same as team
No. 1, and when the timekeepers
whistle finally put a stop to the
slaughter 66 to ,0 stared Kingfisher
right in the face. The 'Varsity stars
were as numerous as the sensational
plays and all did themselves proud.
It was a fitting opening for the 1910
season and' is the lirst stepping stone
to an all victori us season.

'Successor to The Peoples Voice'
NORMAN, OKLAHOMA, FRIDAY, OCTOBK1J 14, 1910.
NUMBER 14
Norman High Loses to Chickasha i
Friday.—Score 29 to 0.
While the University of Oklahoma J
was snowing Kingfisher college tin- j
der a 66 to 0 score Friday the game, I
doughty, little warriors from Nor-
man high school were going down
to defeat before Chickasha high j
school at Chickasha to the tune of 1
29 to 0. The easiest, best and fore-1
most reason which caused their de-
feat was lack of beef and brawn. I
Outweighed twenty pounds to the
man, their only hope was to hold the
score down after Chickasha had scor-
ed their first touchdown in the first
minute of play, and demonstrated
to the crowd that they could win on
weight if nothing else. It was a sad
sight to see the old-time champions
handled as they were Friday after-
noon but the youngsters put up a
game fight and deserve all the credit
in the world for their work against
such big odds. Chickasha has a fast,
heavy, team and will hustle any high
school team in the state for inter-
scholastic honors. They are coached
by C. X. Eekes, a graduate of the
University in 1910. They run hard
and play from start to finish and con-
sequently it takes "deep stuff" to
beat them. The game was on the
square throughout and nothing but
bona-fide high school students were
played. The management of the
Chickasha team treated the high
school boys royally, gave them a re-
ception and tried in every way to
lessen the sting of the day's defeat.
Prin. Ed Cowan, of Chickasha high
school in years past a teacher here,
was among the crowd of rooters.
Park Geyer, this year's captain, prov-
ed a tower of strength to the high
school boys and without him the
score would have been doubled. I lis
kicking kept the score down and his
all around work was the feature of
Norman's playing. Wails, Neal, John-
son and Bruce Givens also showed
up to a good advantage. The playing
of the Chickasha team was uniform
and then- were no particular sta-v,
They were all good. Guy Hard!? and |
Cleveland Thompson, captain of the
'Varsity, accompanied the team as
manager and referee, respectively.
The team returned Saturday. They
play El Reno high school Saturday.

A New National Sorority.
The local Phi Gamma Delta soror-
ity was granted a national charter
shortly before school closed last year,
and the members were last month in-
itiated into the mysteries of the Pi
Beta Phi, the installation and initia-
tion ceremonies being in crage of
Miss Keller of Baltimore, Md., presi-
dent of the fraternity, who was as-
sisted by members from the Universi-
ties of Kansas, Arkansas and Nebras-1
\va. Several elaborate social affairs
were given in honor of the occasion 1
by local members of other Greek let- j
ter organizations. The entrance of
Pi Beta Phi gives the University of
Oklahoma eight national college fra-
ternities, the three for women having
all been nationalized within the last
year.
