garded by the experts as the best
team in Oklahoma, even though
they lost one ball game last sea-
son-failing behind Enid Plains-
men by a single point in the finals
of the state tournament after win-
ning 37 straight. And, before their
lteart-brraking defeat In the finals,
Pryor’* prides had licked the
Plainsmen twice during their reg-
ular schedule.
Water* Is Sensation
Big Bill Waters, a sensation in
his own right, Is the wheelhorsc
of the veteran Capitol Hill crew
this .season. In the Redskins' lat-
est appearance last Tuesday night,
he alone scored a grand total of
33 points. 14 field goals and five
free tosses, as the Hill whipped
Classen Comets 44-19 Waters'
count of 33 set a new Mid-8tate
conference scoring record for a
single game, beating the mark of
30 points set last year by Coach
Pryor's son, Kenneth, in a con-
teat against Norman Tigers.
Observers concede Coach Sim-
mons and his rourngeou Indians
only a slim, outside chance to up-
set the mighty Redskins tonight.
The El Reno lads, however, have
plenty of fight and if the visitors
should relax through over-confi-
dence, the Indiaas might have the
opportunity to chalk up an as-
tounding decision.
AU Odds On Visitors
A comparison of the records,
however, points definitely toward
another victory for the Redskins'
ever-lengthening column. Capitol
Hill pasted the Indians 37-19 only
u few nights ago. on Jan 4, und
the visitors are planning on doing
even better tonight
But despite the prospect*, a

Father Paul has been off Nelson
Island only once in 10 years, and
then he hurried back, homesick for
his bleak Island home, his tiny
chapel, and the wild Eskimos he
works, hunts and lives with. With
his team of eight malemutes, the
priest travels constantly among
the native villages, pinch-hitting
in every capacity from midwife to
reindeer herder.

Sailor Returns
To His Old Ship
HOLDENVILLE, Jan. 14 —<U.P>—
Bill Martin, Lamar, Okla., sailor
wounded In the Guadalcanal fight-
ing, has returned to sea duty—
aboard his old ship, a destroyer
that has earned the fleet nick-
name “Bloody K.”
Thrown into the water when the
superstructure of his ship was shot
away, Martin floated for eight
hours before he was rescued by
another vessel.
The water was shark-infested,
and Martin said a man-eater once
passed close to him
"I didn't even wiggle an eye-
lash." he said.
He has returned to sea duty
after three months in a San
Diego, Calif., naval hospital.

More satisfying, even, was the
meeting with tile Rev Dr Chris-

of the executive board. He was a

dry, thin and galvanic.
Dr. Planish bubbled. ”It's mosl

"Well, well. Doctor! Is that
