UNIVERSITY VICTORIOUS.
NORMAN OKLAHOMA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1903
Plays First and Second Teams of the
Southern Colleges and Wins.
During- the last week the Univer-
sity team has spent several days in
Texas. The first game was played
last Saturday with the Texas Uni-
versity at Austin. The boys played
hard on both sides neither team
scoring during the first half. About
six minutes after the beginning of
the second half Texas made a touch
down and kicked goal. Score then
stood Texas 6—Oklahoma 0. This
put Oklahoma on her metal and dur-
ing the last half they played all over
Texas field until near the close of the
game when Tribbey was sent through
for a touch down. McCreary kicked
out for position, Arnold caught the
ball and Short kicked goal Score:
Texas 6—Oklahoma fi, There were
only 37 seconds till the close so no
more scores were made.
Following this game was the game
against the A. & M. college of Texas,
which resulted in a score of 6 to 0 in
favor of Oklahoma. The A. & M.
won the toss and kicked off to Okla-
homa who carried the ball back ten
yards. They then advanced rapidly
into Texas territory making- four or
five first downs, when A. & M. held
them and they were forced to kick.
A. & M. caught the ball and Oklaho-
the southern colleges. And that last
season Sewance beat Vanderbilt by a
large score, Texas University beat
Sewance 12to 0 and then A. & M.
beat Texas University 11 to 0. Hence
we see that Oklahoma beat the first
and tied the second team in the
southern states.
Dainty Refreshments Were Served- Mrs.
Newell.
Little Miss Ruth Newell, was host-
es to the H. H. Club last Saturday af-
ternoon at her home on University
Avenue. The meeting was an un-
u-ually pleasant one, it being guest
day. The lesson opened with a pap-
er on music schools of America by
Blanche Martin, Corinne Fletcher
sang very sweetly. Bertha Bessent
Alice Himes and Lottie Taylor each
read very interesting papers on
American Musicians, Singers and
Composers. A piano duett given by
Loneta Bigger and Ina Johnson and
the violin solo by Ruth Newell were
especially enjoyed. Following the
Literary program was an exciting
diversion in the form of a pea-nut
contest, Miss Nellie Johnson winning
the prize a beautiful photograph
of hostess. The Club members who
participated were;
Ina Johnson, Callie Goodrich, Cor-
rine Fletcher, Nellie Johnson, Loneta
Bigger, Bertha Renner, Blanche

ma held her for downs, took the ball,
advanced five yards and made a drop
kick for goal from the field. A & M.
got the ball near her goal and began
to go across the field rapidly until
the Oklahoma twenty-five yard line
was reached when they were held for
downs. Oklahoma took the ball and
by her double pass trick made two
long end runs which took her to the
enemy's fifteen yard line when the
first half ended.
During the second half they played
all over the field until near the close
when Oklahoma got near enough to
try for a goal from the field but
failed. A. & M. got the ball on her
fiye yard line. She attempted to
kick out of danger but the punt was
blocked. A. & M. regained the ball
on her two yard line and punted 25
yards Oklahoma returned the ball to
the enemy's five yard line when with
a man on center Tribbey was sent
through for a touchdown. McCreary
kicked out, Bogle caught the ball
and Short made goal. In 57 seconds
the game ended. Score Oklahoma 6,
A. &. M.0.
