OKLAHOMA UNIVERSITY HAS A
STRONG SCHEDULE MANY
PLAYERS TO RETURN.
Norman Okla. Aug. 3. Next sea-
son Oklahoma University will no
doubt have the best foot ball team in
the history of the institution. All of
last year's men will De oack except
the two ends Walling and Pickard.
Capshaw right half back who was
selected for the all Southwestern team
is here engaged in manual labor har-
dening himself and getting in shape
for playing next season. Wantland
who has played left balf back for the
past two years is In Purcell playing
baseball and Is in splendid condition
for football. Key Wolf the big Chick-
asaw Indian who tore great gaps In
the opponents' line during the Kansas-
Oklahoma game last eeason Is out
with a geological party and is in good
shape for football.
The Campbell brothers who have
played on the university team for two
years and were elected to the all
Southwestern tenra will be back in
the same position. . Nairn the Chero-
kee Indian will play quarter back and
Charles Armstrong who has played
full back for two seasons and was
elected captain for next season will
be back in the same position.
A Good Leader.
Armstrong as captain of the team
is a heady consistent player. He has
perfect control over the men and
keeps them working in perfect har-
mony. He played two years on the
record-breaking Kingfisher college
team.
Bennie Owens who has coached the
university team for the past five
years will occupy the same position
next season. He intends leaving early
in the season to watch the eastern
teams play.
The schedule for next season has
been made out and is a good one as
well as a hard one. The big games
will be played here. Kansas will not
play here because of its heavy sched-
ule. We shall however have Fair-
mount College Arkansas University
and Washburn here. This season the
Sooners will play St. Louis university
at St. Louis. One week after the St.
Louis game the Oklahoma team will
play Texas at Dallas. The memory
of their terrible defeat at the hands
of the sooners last year will make
the Texans work hard to win back a
little of their former standing. The
schedule follows.
Sept. 24. Central Normal School at
Norman.
Oct. 9. Kansas University at Law-
rence. Oct. 13. Alva Normal School at
Norman.
