CAMP TRAVIS NOTES REAL ESTATE
Reporter, Private Floyd Absher.
From Co. A, 357th Inf.
-'or Cleveland County, Okla.
During the past week our work
ha.-* been less of the disciplinary and
n ■ re 01 the actual combat type.
T arsday, Nov. 22. Company A with
the other companies of the first bat-
talion were in the trenches—real
trenches, too, they are to be.
Under the direction of French offi-
ce's the different units of the com-
mand are constructing a complete
system of trenches, the Allies on one
si and the Germans on the other.
)n Monday our battalion worked in
the trenches to be occupied by the
Germans. We felt that this was do-
ina: the enemy a rather benevolent
turn but took consolation in the belief
that we would soon drive them out
iin-l occupy their shelter for ourselves
while they were attempting to dig a
new one in which to hide.
Tuesday we were assigned combat
problems to work out. In one we
were ordered to take a certain sec-
tion of the enemies trench under fire.
This we did without any jserious cas-
ualities. Private Huntsman received
a heek wound when his face came in
collision with Private Claxton's hob-
nail shoes as they both attempted to
hi: the dirt at the same time. The
men in their excitement had crowded
together too closely while making' a
rush so when the signal for down was
sounded the collision occured.
Some of the other men also report
the loss of small patches of skin from
the knees and elbows due to sliding
o\er rocks and the hard ground.
The quarantine was raised today
(Tuesday) at noon. We feel a great
relief after fourteen days confine-
ment. Many of the men went into
San Antonio this evening to celebrate.
Thirteen men were transferred out
c! Company A today, most of them
went to the mechanical repair shop
of the quartermaster corps.
\cting Corporal Glen Porter, for-
merly of the Uni^d Sales Co., was
transferred to the supply department
of the quartermaster corps.
During the present week Private
I- I Barbour is on detached service in
the commissary department.
On Friday, Nov. 23, Private Doc
("ouch of Helsel was called home on
account of sickness.
Monday Captain Kennard received
' '""ram that Private Couch was in
bed with measles and would not be
;;b!e to return within the time of his
leave. We hope Doc has a speedy re-
covery and can soon be back in line.
On Monday, twelve Company A
men who had been attending the small
arms firing school went to Leon
Springs to practice on the new rifle
range and to continue their study.
The men who made the trip are Sgt.
Parks, A. C. McCurdy, Willis B. As-
key, J. S. Townley, R. S. Reynolds,
Oklahoma City; G. I,. Hodam, B. H.
Rodgers, H. L. Holloway, T. L. Town-
ley. S. P. Thomason, Cleveland coun-
ty.
Kvery man in the company, includ-
np the cooks and mechanics, have
' • issued a new rifle. Captain Ken-
nard expects the company to be
moved to Leon Springs in tne near
future for target practice.
The mess sergeant is promising us
a big feed Thanksgiving. 1 will tell
you all about it next week.

team: Other Oklahomans
Mentioned.
-After playing a war time schedule
with a war time eleven, and establish-
in^ a record which in itself is not very
enviable, the Sooners put five men in-
to the limelight who are worthy of all-
>tate girdiron fame. Although the
Oklahoma eleven at times of great
need showed a lack of team work, it is
an acknowledged fact individual merit
among the players was not lacking.
One pick gave places to Abbott,
McGlothlin, Boyle, Brown and Deacon,
while another selected Ross Johnston,
McGlothlin, Brown, Abbott and Dea-
con for the first string. Honorable
mention was given several other men.
Seventeen Make Letters.
Seventeen men played in enough
games to make their letters this year.
Those winning the coveted "O" were:
Johnston, Durant, Luster, Boyle,
Lightf McGlothlin, Deacon, Brown,
Douglas, Bechtold, Johnson, Wilmoth,
Abbott, McDermott, Shaw, Graham
and Davis.
In order to win a letter, a man must
play in at least six games, or in three
quarters of a game with a school of
equal standing. Texas, Kansas, Mis-
m ;ri, Illinois ami Arkansas were the
te;.ms from x'hools of equal standing
played this year.

TWO FAMOUS STATUES
GIVEN UNIVERSITY
City Art Museum of St. Louis Gives
Boyle's Franklin and French's
N apoleon,
BY STAFF WRITER
Two pieces of sculpture in heroic
size have been obtained for the uni-
versity as a gift by Prof. Osca* B.
Jacobson. They are "Napoleon" by
Daniel Chester French of New York
and "Franklin" by John J. Boyle of
New York.
They were made, and for awhile,
were a part of the decorations of the
grounds of the St. Louis worlds fair.
They were presented to the university
through Professor Jacobson by the
City Art MuSeum of St. Louis. In
"Napoleon," the noted sculptor shows
the great emperor as a young man,
seated and studying a map, apparent-
ly in great thought. For poetic
feeling, delicacy and refinement,
French stands among the very fore-
most of all American sculptors.
This statue shows refinement and
trrasp of character of the subject, J
which are distinguishing qualities of j
this noble artist.
Boyle's "Franklin" shows indivi- i
duality and rugged strength so char-
acteristic of his work. His contrib-
utions to American art are so numer-
ous and of such great simplicity that
they can justly claim a considerable
share in the developement of Ameri- ]
can national art. "The Alarm", com-
memorating the Ottawa tribe of Ind-
ians, now in Lincoln Park, Chicago,;
is another of Boyle's important works. I
! The "Franklin" is a work of master-
ly conception and great beauty and is j
t by many considered among his great- j
est works.
These statues are now north of the
new Fine Arts building in which they
will soon find a permanent home.
ing With Cotton Oil Men.
In the recent food pledge campaign
that was conducted in Oklahoma, 375,-
000 people signed the food pledge
cards, announced Alvin Richards, as-
sistant food administrator for Okla-
homa Monday afternoon. President
Brooks has direct charge of all the
food conservation work in this state.
Oklahoma was the fourth state to
pass its quota which was only 150,-
000 signers. Reports that have been
coming in from Washington show
that Oklahoma is well up in the list of
states that went over the top of their
quota.
President Brooks and his co-work-
ers are now beginning a drive on the
wholesale and retail grocers of the
state and also are getting the cotton
oil men lined up. The hotels and res-
taurants of the state responded to the
call sent out to them and pledge cards
are still coming in to President Brooks
office.
One of the factors that is causing
some little difficulty is the hoarding
of food by people in some parts of the
state. Many people are laying in a
wholesale supply of goods that should
be bought in small quantities. Dr.
Brooks is taking this matter up with
the local boards of national defense
and expects that they will use their
utmost influence to have this practice
stopped.
DERATE TEAMS ARE
ANNOUNCED RYCOACH
Five Big Debates Scheduled For Year;
Four Veterans on the Debating
Teams.
The most of the cotton has been
marketed, just little jags coming in
from day to day, or bales that have
been held for higher prices. There
were several such bales in today, to-
gether with a number of loads of
bollies. Prices for good cotton in the
bales ranged from $27.00 to $27.75
per 100, with from $9.50 to $10.00
for seed cotton and $4.50 to $5.00 for
bollies. It is said something like
4,500 bales have been marketed here
this season, and Hugh Jones esti-
mates there will be 500 more. At an
average of $150 each they represent
some $750,000 that has been put in
circulation right here within the past
two months.

ced by coach Gordon Stater. In the

years of experience in university de-
bates while this is Holleman's first
appearance.
Joe Koch and Claude Monnet will
uphold the affirmative of the compul-
sory arbitration question against the
University of Texas on the local plat-
form. Koch is debating his second
year for the university having been on
the Missouri team last year. Monnet
while he has not debated for the uni-
versity before this year has had a
great deal of experience in high school
debate circles. The alternates for the
Missouri-Texas teams are Earl Pruet
and Robert Bell. Both of these de-
baters are freshmen. Pruet has de-
bated for Norman high school and Bell
has represented McAlester on the
platform.
Mark Grimes, Laurie Oldham and
Robert Pruet are the members of the
debating team that will meet the Uni-
versity of Colorado at Boulder. The
subject for this contest i3 Resolved

of last years debate team. The Uni-
versity of Colorado will meet three of
Oklahoma letter men when they meet j
Pruet, Grimes and Oldham.
The affirmative of the Owen resolu-
tion will be upheld by Clarence West-
cott, Van Winter Stewart and Angus
Woodford against Kansas. These
three men are representing the
university for the first time although
they have all had experience in high
school debate. Stewart and Westcott
at Oklahoma City and Woodford rep-
resented Enid highscliool for two
years. The alternates for the Kan-
sas Colorado teams are Harold Sand-
ers and Herbert Hyde. Sanders i'ep-
resented Chickasha highschool and has
taken an interest in debate here at
the university. Hyde won first place
in both of the high school oratorical
contests last year. He had his debat-
ing training in Norman high school.
Two of the University of Okla-
homa's veteran debaters have been se-
■hs' the New Orleans debaters,
first debate to be held with that
school. Joe Koch and John Mac
Campbell will represent Oklahoma
