OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 5—
'Special i—Two former EH Reno
athletes. Richard Dozier and Jack
Roblyer. are two of the Oklahoma
City fans' ballplayers, since the first
date of their enrolment at O. C. U.
Ask any one who lias witnessed an
Oklulionia City university basketball
game and they are sure to mention
one of the two names. Not only do
the fans think the world of these
two squadinen. but also their fellow
students In the university.
If Dozier's name is mentioned,
there is but one reply that will
come back iroin the fans: "Man.
but that little guy can take It.”
By that remark, they are referring
to the fact that Richard lias taken
many spills on the maples and
always came back for another dose
of the same medicine If that is the
routine that Is to be followed.
Willing To Take Chances
The fans class him as a during
ball player who is willing to take
chances, when such are needed to
win a game.
Not loo long ago. the Chiefs were
playing Trinity college in San
Antonio. Tex. Sometime during the
last five minutes of play, Dozier

against Chlckasha's ball-freezing
tactics which were started at the
outset of the game and continued
to the final whistle. But aside
from Capitol Hill, the Chicks were
closer to the Indians in tlie final
score than any other team lias
been.
The liigli-riylng Tribesmen, mos-t
potent squad to carry El Reno’s
colors in at least two decades, have
scored a total of 615 points in their
12 contests for an average of 61.25

bined opposition to 326 |K>iuts. or
an average of 27.16. If the Indians
can keep their steam, many obser-
