    his two field goals in the first half
caused the blue feeling to settle over
the A. and M. rooters. He was liter-
aly a fiend, and out of three attempts
was successful in two. His line plung
ing also caused great trouble. He was
a hard man to down, and was never
known to lose a yard. The Sooners
had other star men. Clark and Hol
land played great ball at ends, and
Reeds’ punting was a feature, and his
playing was with a rush. Ambruster
and Rogers did good work, as did
Meacham. Hott, until taken out with
a wrenched knee, put up a great line
game. To Owen must be given credit
for having a hard fighting team.
The supoprt the corps gave the
team was great. Each one was anx
ious to do his part well, and when
the “Siren” or “Rickey-ti-Rock” thun
dered forth applause was always forth
coming. In “Rusty” Dowell and his
two assistants we have as fine a lot
of yell leaders as ever mounted an
upturned barrel.

When Mr. Stevens took Miss Caw-
thon down to the Milners’ swing at
11:30 at night, only to have her ac
cuse him *of being “a most unsenti
mental lad,” he should first have
taken into consideration the fact that
some members of Presy’s family are
“fresh-air fiends” and sleep on the up
stairs porch—that is, they sleep when
not kept awake by highly entertaining
conversations between “unsenti-
menal” (?) seniors and charming la
dies of the Lyceum course.
