"Oh ypg. Those fellows are high
Mhool boys all right with the em
phasis on the boys. You Bee they
have a good line-up of moonlight
kc'.ioMb up at Cherokee and In order
to keep the moonlight division filled
Ibey go out In the hedges and ditches
and stone quarries and farms and ma-
chine shops and manual training
camps and round these huskies up
and ma 'em down 'with dogs. Cher
okee Is long on moonlight schools.
She has to have 'em in order to keep
her football camp filled."
So spake a Chlckasha Junior yester
day as the lines of Chlckasha withered
and fell away from the giants of Cher-
okee like waves dashed to pieces and
disintegrated when wind-driven on a
rock-bound shore. "Say I'm going to
play in the Chlckasha team next sea-
son but I'm going out on some farm
during the summer and get me a jk
putting rails" added the JudIo".
When the game ended the score
stood 3 to 7 In favor of Cherokee.
One thing that may bo said about
the Chlckasha football team they are
Rood losers.
And with a grim determination they
fight to the last ditch and hr.r.g on
with bulldog tenacity even when they
know they are whipped no not
whipped for the Chlckasha lads have
never been whipped but overpowered.
In yesterday's contest with the
Rlants from Cherokee It was a fight
of pluck and skill against beef
muscle and science. The Chlckasha
boys were outweighed and stood no
t-arthly show from the start of holding
In check the avoirdupois which hurled
and hurtled and crashed and crushed
through their lines. The home team
had science; the home team had skill;
the home team had the advantage of
playing on Us own gridiron but It was
an unfortunate case of scienced Gen-
tleman J"r Corbett boxing the oppo-
nent with the heavier weight the
longer reach and ample skill. The
Cherokee boy were not high school
boys of the ordinary type they were
huskies they had age and muscle and
weight. They came against the Chick-
asha boys' science like the tidal wave
of the limitless ocean came against
the science-built sea wall at Galveston
and by main strength swept aside all
that science had builded.
But say! Give the rush and the
crush and the Bull Moose and all that
dope to Cherokee but don't forget
whatever you do to hand the noise to
1be Chlckasha high school rooters.
The girls and boys on the hurrah line
iid more In the boosting line than has
any other bunch championing any
other team this season.
If the Chlckasha boys had have had
the muscle to have backed their own
science and the lung work of their
supporters of the high school they
would have won the game hands down.
They certainly had the moral support.
Why even the grass and the fences
caught on fire actual fire. In real
boosting for the home team. And
whn the score had gone so far against
the home boys that the tide of defeat
could not be stemmed and turned to
victory the very sun the great King
of Day blushed with anger and hid
his face for the span of twelve long
hours.
Commenting on the game one of the
high school boys said:
"If 'rep' could have won a game the
victory would have surely been ours.
University park was alive wth the
laf rendering yells that came from
the excited threats of a multitude of
loyal rooters that were for our team
win or lose. Purple and gold flags
and pennants waved to and fro in ner-
vous Jt rks as the two teams clashed
for highest honors. Both teams played
creat football. Chlckasha tried their
OF CHEROKEE
same old tactics of forward and long
end runs with fair results. They were
not as successful with the forward
pass however as they have been here-
tofore for Cherokee had heard of
Chiekaaha's wonderful passing ability
and came to Chlckasha with a deter-
mination to break up that part of our
scoring machine.
In the first few minutes of play
Cherokee exhibited what 'beef com
bined with skill could do when they
made two touchdowns In the first six
minutes. The game was fought to a
finish by both teams however and
Cherokee outclassed our team In
weight only. For getting beat the C.
H. Sfl team have no apologies to make
or nothing for which to kick. They
were too small to cope with. ie
northern giants and all they have to
fay Is that they did their best in one
of the cleanest parties that has been
played In Oklahoma this year. Ref
eree Coludman and Umpire were Im-
partial and just in all decisions.
"Much credit is due the Chlckasha
earn for their splendid work In leal-
ng with the heaviest team in tne
state despite of their defeat Pool
although hurt many times still had
the grit to stay In the game and do his
usual good work until be was so In-
jured that he was forced to retire
The line worked good in holding the
ereat weight' tack. The two Hills
and Goetting were as usual sitting
there and Quarterback Luster dis
played the same high merit and zea!
that he usually does."
The game by quarters was as fol

No Chance to
But Record
"We're out of the championship race
for this season" said Poole the sturdy
whole-souled scalp gatherer of the
Chickasha football team when seen
on the streets this morning. "How
ever" Mr. Poole added "the Chick-
asha boys have made a record which
will make the class of 1915-16 the
class to cheer by for all time to come.
Just think of it with all the odds we
have only lost two games this year.
And that includes the game lost yes-
terday to Cherokee."
Mr. Poole spoke in the highest
terms of the Cherokee lads. He said
that they were good scouts and that
while he felt and believed the Chick-
asha boys had more speed and more
science than they yet they combined
enough science with their weight to
walk all over the home boys. .
The Cherokee boys Mr. Poole
slated weighed an average of 164
pounds to the man while the Chicka-
sha boys averaged only 148 a differ-
ence of 16 pounds per man in favor of
the visitors.
Mr. Poole was one of the gamest of
the game in Chickasha's line-up. He

tired from game. The last "down" of
Poole's however laid him out of the
game and he was removed to his home
in an unconscious condition not recov-
ering consciousness from the time he
was injured shortly after 5 o'clock
yesterday afternoon until after 9
o'clock last night.
Commenting on the game Judge
Williams said: "I am well pleased
with the game. To the casual ob-
server it Is readily seen that our home
learn has a most efficient coach.
Everyone did so well his part that to
comment on any particular play would
be an injustice to the entire aggrega-
tion. Our visitors played clean manly
ball and justly deserved their victory.
From center to fullback they were in
the pink of condition which to me gave
evidence of shower bath and rub-
down. At a very small expense we
could install such an essential insti-
tution for our boys. Who will start
the move? It is the new sport. 'Rah
'rah' for victory and become not de-
jected over defeat. Considering pound
for pound and average age I still be-
lieve our boys are champions of Okla-
homa. But by the way I advise them
to keep their eyes open for Anadarko."

WITH THE FRENCH KRMY IN
CHAMPAGNE Oct. 20. (By mail.)
The aviator who discovered the big
380 milimeter gun which bombarded
Dunkirk today told me how he did it.
He is a French captain but beyond
that the censor commands silence.
"I was flying in Flanders" he said
when Dunkirk underwent her first
bombardment. It seemed that the big
shells must come from warships at
sea but as you know they were fired
from a point in Belgium some 2 miles
back of the German lines or about
twenty miles.
"It takes a thief to catch a thief
so as German aviators gave the range
to the big gun French aviators
watched them and gave the range to
the allied artillery. We photographed
the position from several thousand
feet up and from this photo marked
on our large-scale artillery maps tho
exact point of the shells' departure."
The captain young clean-cut wear-
ng a monocle; his reddish mustache
cut American fashion opened an al-
bum such as you probably have at
home. Turning a few pages he
stopped at one he said was the Dun
kirk cannon. Small but distinct the
cannon could be seen in a circle of
whitish-gray the cement base. Lead-
ng up to it was a double thread the
tramway over which the mammoth
shells were hauled. Nearby was a
highway; elsewhere darkish fields;
beets probably.
"All that remained" continued the
boyish captain "was to 'spike' the
enemy's howitzer This was done
systematically. The Germans say we
waste ammunition but the silencing
of this piece refutes that. We photo-
graphed the position after each shot.
Look at these photos :
Turning the pictures slowly one
could see the spots representing holes
dug by the guns searching for Dun-
kirk's bombarder petting closer and
closer to the target. It was like the
Pit and the Pendulum all over again.
The German gunners must have seen
death drawing closer and closer but
there was nothing for them to do. The
shells
were closing In rapidly and
their howitzer ' was too big to be un-
bolted from the cement and hauled
about.
"When we had given approximately
the proper range by the aid of our
photos" the officer said "we over-
flew the gun and gave directions by
wireless and got the gun." The last
photograph showed a veritable pit
about the German piece; it must have
been hit repeatedly. The captain did
not say so but his work was done
under hot fire from anti-aircraft guns
below: and while fighting air duels
with German aeroplanes sent up
against him.
The officer showed mo his photo-
graphing aeroplane. The camera Is
in front and screwed lens down to
the biplane's floor. To prevent vibra-
tion the apparatus Is mounted on four
soft rubber cones. A telescopic lens
registers objects a mile beneath It.
