SOONERS MAY MAKE
TEXAS SPRING TRIP
Baseball Team Will Not Tour
Colorado: May Play
M V Teams
The baseball schedule has develop-
ed into quite a muddle and Manager
Smiser has been compelled to change
his plans entirely to secure games for
the team because of the failure of
other schools with which he has been
in correspondence to sign contracts
The game with Texas A and M has
been cancelled by the latter because
that school couldn’t schedule enough
games in Oklahoma to justify mak-
ing a trip to Norman Colorado re-
fused to give the Sooner a guaran-
tee for games to be played at Boulder
which compelled Manager Smiser to
drop all plans for a Colorado trip
It is probable now that games will
be scheduled with Missouri Valley
teams and also that the team may
make a trip south

K Witcher
Inaugural Ball
Pulled Clear Off
Owing to the fact that it has been
assertained that certain people in Ok-
lahoma City have a perpetual copy-
right on the inaugural ball the pro-
moters of the same have seen fit to
change the style of Friday night's
event to a big genuine “Prexy Prom”
The committee on floors and flow-
ers has found plenty of both and
everything will be in readiness at 9
o clock F riday night Dresssuit regu-
lations hitherto agreed upon have been
suspended and everybody will be al-
lowed to wear their "good clothes”
Program and ticket-selling com-
mittees have been equally busy dur-
ing the past few days the work of
the latter being especially heavy
Every late dance feature has been
given a prominent place on the pro-
gram two that are expected to prove
of more than ordinary interest being
the ‘‘Prexy’s Special” and the "Eddie
Mayes Go Home” waltzes

A request to Walter Morrow for

ing the publishing of a "student
opinion’ in the University Oklaho-

criticized the manner in which the
debating coach had carried on the
recent debating preliminaries Mor-

favoritism in dealing out the most
coveted berths places on the Cali-

ods and questioned the motives of
the coach
Morrow is a sophomore in the Col-
lege of Arts and Sciences is a mem-
ber of the Oratorid Council and had
made the debating team the second
time being one of the men who made
a place last year while yet a fresh-
man Six other members of the
squad signed a petition asking for a
"new deal” in the debate tryouts and
an opportunity to get on the Califor-
nia team by competition None of
this number have yet been asked to
resign -
Morrow refused to resign and de-
clares he will not leaving it up to the
coach to drop him from the team
Coach Tanner declared last night
that Morrow would be put off the
squad as he did not believe it con-
dusive to the best interests of the
team that a man so opposed to the
methods employed by the coach be
retained to work with the other men
