Senior Memorial
May Be Loan Fund
Definite Decisibn Will Be Made When
Total Amount of Money Taken
In Is Determined
The 1923 senior memorial loan fund
has lcn one of the suggestions for an
appropriate memorial for the class
of 192s Averyt M Golver senior
president said Saturday morning after
a conference with President Stratton
D Brooks
It is thought that there would be
enough funds to build a fence around
the vacant lots on the northeast side
of the campus if the class shinilj de-
cide to do this
Among the other suggestions is a
memorial to the first building on the
campus and an arch built over the
entrance on the northwest side of the
campus modeled something on the or-
der of the two on the campus now
Since nothing definite has been done
aloit the entrance to the new stad-
ium by the 1922 class this memorial
has been considered However so
far it has not been possible for the
seniors to decide because of the time
required in the treasury office to
check up on the correct amount of
the senior fund As soon as the total
amount is learned there will be a meet-
ing of the class to make a definite de-
cision Gober said

MASSIVE LEAD OF 28 TO
9 IN FIRST PERIOD FATAL
Johnson and Boelter Tie For High
Point Honors With Eight Goals
Each
After piling up a smothering 28 to 9
point lead in the first helf the visiting
Drake cagers held their own for the
rest of the game letting down the Soon-
er basketball squad 49 to 32 Saturday
night op the Sooner court
Drake swept Oklahoma into the back-
ground in the first nine minutes of play
with a goal a minute compared to the
Sooner’s lonesome true shot and this
lead was never relinquished Wilhem
and Boelter contributed the telling work
from all angles of the floor with but
few shots going astray while the Soon-
ers seemed to be wondering what is
was all about
In the second half Oklahoma came
out of her apathy and managed to
play slightly better ball than the visi-
tors The Sooners gathered 23 points
to Drake’s ' 21 in the second period
Johnson Sooner center and Boelter
Drake forward tied up for high point
honors with eight goals each seven of
Johnson's" coming the second half
After Drake's brilliant spurt early
in the game Coach McDermott pulled
his entire five and sent in a new one
This combination worked much better
than the first and it managed to stop
the wonderful passing and marvelous
goal shooting of the Bulldogs Late in
the period McDermott made his second
shift sending in most of his regulars
again Coach Solem left his team in-
tact tmtil be saw that it was sewed up
Drake’s work was easily the best wit-
nessed on the Sooner court this season
and the score reached the high mark of
the 14 games played This was consid-
