After fumbling away nine points in the first quarter, the Oklahoma City University Goldbugs settled down to defeat the heavy West Texas Teachers 19 to 9 in a hard-fought game on Goldbug field Friday afternoon. The game wasn't one minute old when the Teachers received Peppers' punt and immediately kicked to the Goldbugs' 6-yard mark.

That on top of a tie for the Big Six conference championship. And It has been ever so long since Oklahoma shared a championship of any description. Getting down to dates, the last Sooner title triumph was in 1920, In the old Missouri Valley conference. THAT year the Sooncrs won all their Valley games but the one with the Kansas Aggies. It ended in a tie.

Oklahoma's claim to the title was undisputed. In the Big Six conference, the Sooncrs have a tie for second place and a clean-cut win of the runner-up position to- their credit. In 1928. Ad Lindsey coached the Sooners to a tie for second and in 1930 his eleven took complete possession of the No. 2 hole, being beaten only by Kansas, the undefeated winner that year.
