DEFEATED BROKEN ARROW
AGGIES 101 TO 0
In a game of football, which did
not close until darkness had settled
over the field of play, Capshaw's
PrepB from the University Prepara-
tory School decisively defeated the
Aggies from the Agricultural School
of Broken Arrow on the Prep grid-
Iron here Friday afternoon by the
one-sided Bcore of 101 to 0, before
one of the largest crowds in attend-
ance at a football game in this city
this season.
The game with Broken Arrow was
not considered a hard one for Cap-
shaw's squad to win, in view of the
fact that the Sapulpa High School
recently defoated the Aggies 83 to
0, and the Preps in turn gave the
Sapulpa High a trimming 13 to 0,
but it was not thought the score
would be as large as it was. In all
probability it would have been even
larger had Capshaw played his reg-
it In rs during the entire contest. This
however, he did not do, us he used all
of his "scrubs" some time during the
game.
The scoring began early in the
game when Oliver Hause, for the lo-
cals, on the second down skirted the
end for a beautiful 00 yeard run
through a broken field for Clare,
more's first touchdown. Hall tried
for a goal from touchdown, but fail-
ed. Harold Hall, another of Clare-
more's fast backs, soon added 6 more
points with a touchdown and. one
more with a goal from touchdown—
and thus it went, the locals making
touchdowns in rapid succession and
almost at will. Almost every time
they came in possession of the ball
a few plays resulted in a touchdown,
while the Broken Arrow team, al-
though gaining regularly through the
Prep line with old-style line plunges,
could not get within, striking distance
of the local goal.
Seeing defeat staring them in the
face, the quarterback of the Broken
Arrow team opened up the play, us-
ing the new aerial game of forward
passes. Several beautiful ones for-
long gains were completed, but when
the Aggies were within striking dis-
tance of the Prep goal, as they did
several times during the game, the
locals held them for downs, and then
quickly ran the ball down the field
with brilliant end runs. They also
completed several neat forward pass-
es which netted them substantial
gains. ,
Louie Lester, playing tackle for the
locals, showed up brilliantly on de-
fensive work, making one fierce tack-
le after another and stopping the vis-
iting backs many times in their
tracks. Harold Hall, Church, Jude
Hutchins, Perce Allton, Charlie All-
ton and Melvin Means also played a
brilliant game and were responsible
for many handsome gains for the lo-
cals, while the work of Oliver Hause
was sensational to say the least.
A resume o£ the touchdowns made
during the game by the locals shows
the following: Hall 3, Oliver Hause
8, Church 5, Means 1, Charlie All-
ton 1, "Judge" Hutchins 3, Hutchins
safety; goals front touchdown: Hall
ft, Charlie Allton 1. Total number of
touchdowns

The next game of football in which
the Preps engage will be with the
high school team at Muskogee next
Friday. This game will decide the
northeastern high school champion-
ship of the state, as not a single high
school has crossed the Preps' goal
line this season, and they are classed
in the high school class, while the
Muskogee team has repeatedly de-
feated one high school after another,
excepting the Tulsa High School,
which defeated Muskogee, but the
Preps in turn defeated Tulsa High.
Capshaw will have the team ready
for the game of their lives, and it is
urged that all the rooters who can
conveniently go be on the sidelines at
Muskogee Friday to root for the lo-
cals in what they think will be the
hardest game of the season.

GRANDCHILD OF W. C. GILLEN
MEETS HORRIBLE DEATH
IS SHOWING A LARGE STALK
OF CORN
Springfield, Mo., Nov. 2—Beatrice
Kampen, the 5-year-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Fred W. Kampen, was
instantly killed at 1:30 this afternoon
at the Reps Dry Goods store on the
square. In company with her mother,
grandmother and two other children
of Mrs. Kampen, the child had enter-
ed the elevator at the first floor.
When Herman Wagner, the eleva-
tor boy, was preparing to stop at the
second floor the child, excited by the
movement of the car, ran from the
grasp of the grandmother and bump-
ed against the open side of the car.
There is a space of about six inches
between the door of the car and the
wall. The child ran against the
glass partition and fell to the eleva-
tor floor. She fell in such a position
that her head extended into the open
space. Wagner tried to grasp the
child but it was too late. The child's
head was crushed between the eleva-
tor and casing. Death was instantan-
eous. The elevator was stopped and
the child extricated.
The deceased was a granddaughter
to W. C. Gillen, veterinary surgeon,
of Claremore.
John Barrett is showing a large
stalk of Mexican White Drouth Corn
at the First National Bank. Mr.
j Barrett raised this corn in his yard
, on East Fourth street. It has pro-
duced two tremendous ears of corn,
the stalk being sixteen feet tall. The
corn was planted on the 25th day of
June, and although being of a drouth
variety, flourished in spite of all the
rain we have had. Had it have been
dry weather, we are unable to even
guess how tall the stalk would have
been.

Yes.theyte going'to bed-
do you want to talk to baby?
Just one illustration of the comfort and peace of
mind which the telephone bring* to the home:
Suppose baby becomes ill in the middle of the night
It'* just a matter of seconds to get the doctor oa
the telephone and obtain immediate advice or
have him come over. Often this has meant the
prevention of serious complications or even the
saving of a tiny life.
Hadn't you better telephone or post-a-card to the
Bell Business Office, asking about the low resi-
dence rate*?
