EDMOND BOYS HPr. WINKERS
HOME FOOT BALL TEAM DEFEATS
THE SOUTHWESTERN BOYS.
Brilliant Playing on part of Edmond
Team--Coach Bentley and Play-
ers to be Cengratulatcd.
Edmond wound up the foot-
ball season Thanksgiving day by
defeating the Southwestern Nor-
mal 41 to 0. It was a glorious
close to a season that has been
marked by accidents and general
bad luck.
The Weatherford boys wore
heavy and played hard, but were
unable to stop the fierce attacks
of our men.

The basket ball girl* will play
a matched game at Kingfisher
next Friday. The game will he
played on our campus nnd prom-
ises to be one of unusual inter-
est.
Prof. Blake's chemistry stu-
dents are rejoicing over a long
needed enclycopedia.
The members of the faculty
living in single bliss were made
happier than usual when the.y
were entertained Thursday
eve-
The game was especially in- j ning by President an I Urn ICm-
B - ' holtz. All speak very highly of
their genial host and hostess.
. teressing to the spectators on ac-
count of the clean, gentlemanly
way it was played. Spectacular
plays abounded. Delayed pass-
es, double passes, fake interfer-
ence and wing-shifts worked
time and again for gains of from
ten to forty yards for Edmond.
Yeakel had been instructed to
play all the foot ball he knew,
and he did it, using good judg-
ment in selecting plays, thereby
keeping the other team guessing
at all times.
For Weatherford, Whittaker
played the star game, but it musi
be said of the other members of
the visaing team that they fought
hard all the time and won the
admiration of the spectators for
their game fight. It is impossi-
ble to make special mention of
the Edmond players without
naming the entire team. Every-
one played as he had never play-
ed boioi-e.
Tri- end and tackles were im-
passa tie, while the center of the
line t>!o..d like a stone wall. In
the tci > field every man got off
well, iser and Klein always
maKiii . gains around the ends,
and MoUarrel always being good
for ten yards through the line.
Arm orong got away for several
long runs on a double pass, and
Yeakel, twice, all but made a
touchdown on a fake play through
center. Hunt carried the ball
well, but lus best work was at de-
fense where his breaking inter-
ence and tackling was nothing
short of wonderful. Crockett and
Martin were there with the goods,
both at carrying the bull and
downing the runner. Wamsley
had a 225-pound man as hia op-
ponent and certainly gave him
good measure. He also showed
lie could advance the ball when
called upon. Bowles and Warn- I
er took turns playing left guard,
both men having earned a right
to play. They both played hard
progressive foot ball. Castleber-
ry played his usual star game at
center, and the absence of fum-
bling was due to his excellent
passing.
Not a substitute was used by
Edmond, which speaks well for
the physical condition of the
men. Seven touchdowns were
made, four goals kicked and one
safety, counting two points, was
ssored, making the final score 41
to 0,
Before the game, Coach Bent-
ley gave his men a talk, telling
them that he expected a large
score, but would not be satisfied
with merely a victory. The way
the men responded speaks well
for the spirit of the team

GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.
Irael &. Yeakel Mer. Co. will close out
its Business here.
As will be soen from the ad-
vertisement on the lust page oi
this paper, the Imel & Yeakel
Mercantile Co., one of the sub-
stantial business firms of this
city, has decided to go out of
business in Edmond, and in
order to dispose of its large
stock of dry goods, millinery,
ladies furnishings, notions, etc.,
will, for ten days, commenc-
ing Dec. 8, at 9 o'clock, place
the entire $10,000 stock on the
market, at a sacrifice sale. This
is a positive closing out sale
and everything must go, re-
gardless of price. This will lie
a splendid opportunity -for the
people of Edmond and vicinity
to buy their winter goods at
wholesale prices, or better, and
none can afford to miss such a
splendid opportunity.
The many friends of this firm
will be sorry to learn that its
members have decided to go
out of business here. By their
upright, honest and fair deal-
ings with toe public they have
won the confidence and lespect
of the people to a large extent.
They have not announced theii
future plans.
Get your Xmas photos early
and avoid the rush.

THAT IN'TEHURBAN ROAD.
S!iartel say* the Company is nulling
for Statehood.
If .Mr. Shartel, who has been
one of the loading .spirits in the
proposed iuterurban railway be-
tween Oklahoma City and
Guthrie lias been correctly
quote'! by the State Capital, the
proposition seems to bo "in the
air." to ush a street expression.
Warding to the State Capital,
Mr. Nhartel stated that the
company would not make am
I'urt hei*move until after the ad-
mission of the territory into tin-
Union. He said that in the
■vent of statehood and the cap-
ital remaining at Guthrie a
much better road-bed would lie
required and better rolling stock
vould be purchased than if the t
ipital were located elsewhere, ^re the parents of a
Even should statehood be
ranted this winter, it would be
ime time before the'location
>f the capital would bo settled.
Jonsequently, unless some oth-
•r company, realizing this prof-
itable field for an iuterurban,
milds a road between Guthrie
and Oklahoma City, the pro-
posed road seems to be in the
dim, distant future.

Normal Notes.
Now that the foot ball team
has won the collegiate cham-
pionship we must not let our am-
bition rest on anything lower
than 8ucce33 in athletic lines.
Right now is the time to make
preparations for that May con-
test. In another part of this
week's issue will be seen an ar-
ticle describing the manner in
which the men on the team won
the Thanksgiving game. The
way the boys played scientific
foot ball demonstrated that the
"man behind the gun" coached
the team well. Every one in
Edmond appreciates the hard
work of Coach Bentley and when
he passes it's1 "Present arms !"
was his second appearance here
this season and as before, he
leaves a train of happy memories,
awakened reflecting from his
views on 'The Funny Side of
Life.' The charm of melody
mingled with his merriment, as
given in a number of songs and
whistling solos."—Dayton (0.)
