) danger of a quarantine on the town
f the situation does not take an un-

HIGH SCHOOL TO START
CAGING PRACTICE SOON
Inter-class Basketball Expected to
Create Athletic Interest With
Preps
Basketball will he the next sport that
will entertain the University high
school student body, and all eyes are
turned with expectancy upon the boys
who will represent each of the differ-
ent classes, ('lass feeling is expected
to run high during the season and will
be at its highest pitch when the class
championship is at stake.
There have been no official workouts
yet hut the boys are getting in condition
| so they can start the practice off with
a rush immediately after the Thanks-
i giving holidays, under the supervision
of Wade II. McCallister, director of
athletics, and Ralph If. Records, who
will assist him with the basketball
| coaching this season.
Each of the five classes will have a
team this season, and the first game
'will be played about the middle of De-
: cemher. Real interest in the games will
| not begin until the Christmas holidays,

ANTINE RUMOR SAID TO HAVE
BEEN STARTED BY DATELESS BOY
Practical Joker Wanted Date With
Girl and So Conceived "Clever
Scheme"; Disturbance Created
The quarantine goes on tonight at
12 o'clock."
Such was the general rumor that was
Lioing the rounds, Monday night. Plans
wit# immediately bo ,;in by everyone to!
get, out of town in some way. Many
danned to walk to scyne nearby town
or) take a train or street car from there.
When calls were received at various
iris' houses saying that it was a health
ffieer speaking and that no one would
be permitted to leave town after mid-
igbt, many who had dates in their
home town this week end made a hasty
departure.
Joker Wanted Date
Tuesday it developed that the per-
>n who took it upon himself to do
irnc of the calling hit upon the idea
t the richness of the joke in trying to
devise a scheme to have a date with a
ertain young lady who wouldn't give
him a date because she had one with her
'steady."
It is alleged that Tom Asbury, soph-
more arts and sciences, Oklahoma City,
'ailed the house where the girl whom
heart

>m th'
en
ml I
In
break her
This tirnt
but only
she told
1 --SU'.'fl
department that no
permitted in Norman
. A weeping and wailing and
of teeth followed.
v minutes after the boy prank-
it the girl had had time to
date he called the house again,
it was not the health officer
Tom wanting a date. First,
him she had broken it. But
i when he said it was only a joke anil
that he wanted the broken date icicles
j formed on the telephone wires from the
| coldness of her voice.
Many Left Town
No one knows who was responsible
| for the various other calls during the
! night. The last car out of Norman and
tlit' 12:.W Santa Fe south were said to be
i loaded with students who would not be
deprived of Thanksgiving dinner at
j home because of a quarantine.
It recalls to mind the time when Char-
I les the Second fled from London in
the year 1665 before a quarantine was
put on the city for the Black Plague.
But Tom didn't get his date—at least
with the girl he wanted.
FRATERNITY SCHOLARSHIP
GRADES TO BE OUT SOON
Revision in Rules and a Re-check Has
Caused Unlooked for Delay
Says Officer
The scholar hip st:i,iuin>, of Lhi fra-
ternities on the campus will not be
known for several flays, according to
Bob Downing, chairman of the commit-
tee. 1 he revision in several rules, has
caused a re-check which has delayed
the releasing of the standings later
this time than ever before.
The committee hopes within the next
few days to have all grades checked.
When this muddle is cleared, the grades
and position of each fraternity in the
scholarship race, will be released.

When $100,000 Is Pledged, Active
Work on Athletic Plant Will
Start, Cloyd Says
Incomplete Stadium reports last night
showed that 580 students had pledged
$24,054 ti) the stadium fund which is
an average of $41.47 plus per student.
The stadium drive committees had not
made complete reports yesterday but
will continue the canvass today and
complete it after the holidays.
A mop up squad will follow the reg-
ular committees after the holidays and
visit every student who failed to pledge
to the fund. The 580 students who
pledged are but one sixth of the stud-
ent body and at the ratio these loyal
Sooners contributed, the student cam-
paign would bring in more than $150,-
000.
Students are expected to pledge more
than $50,000 before the drive is fin-
ished and the faculty and citizens of
Norman will be requested to do their
■ 'it before the alumni and citizens of
the state are solicited.
"With $100,000 pledged to the stadi-
um, wo will begin pouring concrete next
spring," Dick Cloyd, executive head of
the stadium committee said yesterday.
Last spring 220 students pledged $11,-
871 or an average of approximately $54
per student while this fall 3(30 students
pledged $12,18.3 or an average of $.3,3
plus per student.
SOONER CAMPUS
TO QUIET DOWN
Fraternity and Chow Houses Will
Rest After First Part of School;
All Are Going Home
\ cry little gaiety and thanksgiving will
be found in Soonerland during Thanks-
giving holidays. Fraternity houses,
nr.-;/ and gay, will be quiet and
till.
RED IIEADOEAR
NEAR DISCARD
All Freshmen Who Return After
Thanksgiving Can Leave Red
Caps at Home as Souvenir
"Wearin' of the red" by the frosh
will be past hislory 'after dismissal of
■ chool for the holidays today. 1 low-
ever, all freshmen must wear the caps
until noon or receive an application of
barrel staves from the vigilance com-
mittee when they return to school af-
ter the holidays.
At a past meeting of the student coun-
cil it was decided to permit freshmen to
remove their red caps at the beginning
of the Thanksgiving holidays. Until
that time ail rules regarding the wear-
ing of the caps will be strictly enforc-
ed.
Freshmen going home for Thanks-
giving will probably have one more
thing to be thankful for, knowing that
upon their return, they will be permit-
ted to wear the conventional hat or cap
on the campus.
STUDES HERE TURKEY DAY
INVITED TO TAFFY PULL
Y W. C. A. Will Act as Host in An-
nual Event to Students Remain-
ing Over Holiday
Students wdio remain in Norman dur-
ing the Thanksgiving vacation are in-
vited to a taffy-pull to be given at 7 :.30
o'clock Thursday night at the home of
Mrs. 1". K Guthrie, 22.3 W. Duffy
street, announced Frances Blackmer,
chairman of the "Y. W." social com-
mittee, Tuesday.
A "pulling" contest between boys
and girls will be a feature of the ev-
ening and the victorious side will be
amply rewarded.
This is an annual event given by the
\. W. C. A. to entertain the fortunate
ones who are unfortunate enough to to
main in Norman during the "Turkey
Day" vacation.

DOCTOR E. E. DALE SPEAKS
ON NATHANIEL C. FOWLER
"Reminiscences of Nathaniel C. Fow-
ler" was the subject of a talk given be-
fore the Oklahoma City Ad club at a
luncheon Wednesday by Dr. E. E. Dale,
professor of history. Nathaniel C
Fowler was the dean of New England
advertising and a close friend of Doc-
tor Dale.
to Or
me.tcr report reaches toe. olfice .it
the end of the semester.
"Students who come under th ■ rule
diotild understand that tilt will be re
quired to withdraw at once e\en if they
have already enrolled for the second se-
mester," said Dr. Gitinger. "I wish that
all students would read carefully the
regulations on page 58 of the 1922 cat-
alog."
Tlu. first two paragraphs on page 58
read as follows:
"A student who in any semester
makes a grade of condition of failure!
in two-fifths or more of his work may
register only on probation for the next
semester that he is permitted to attend.
"A student who has been on probation
for a semester (not necessarily the se-
mester just preceding) and who makes
ii the first semester of the year a grade
of condition or failure in two-fifths or
more of his work, including a grade of
failure in at least one course, may not
re rd b can -o of his failures in pre-
. : -liM r-- id with pat -
ticular care the following quotation
from the catalog:
'A stud nt who accumulates fifteen
hours with a grade of failure including
conditions that have become failures,
will be dropped permanently. No stud
cut will be recommended for a degto
who has fifteen hours with a gra ie of
failure or condition not removed.'
Freshmen should note that the a\ilo
matic dropping regulations will not he
applied to them until next semester.
Freshmen are sent home only then, in
the judgment of the dean this will be
for the advantage both of the student
and of the university. No freshman
who tries need fear that he will be sent
home the first year.
"The purpose of such regulations,"
continued Dr. Gittinger, "is to raise the
standard of work in the university. Ou<
way that an automatic dropping rule
accomplishes this is by spurring on lag-
gard ones to do succesful work."
