University of Oklahoma Iwid a Strong Line Which Did Good Team Work The football game between the Guthrie Athletic Club and the University was called at 3 40 Monday afternoon A large crowd had gathered

kickoff everything went for the Varsity The Guthrie boys were outclassed every where Their line went to pieces time after time aifd was whooly unable to hold out against the the 'Varsities'splend ed team work Guthrie lost the ball on downs every time they had it They were wholly unable to buck against the'Varsitieslineor goaround it Iheir position was a discouraging one but they kept up and fought a plucky light until the close of the game The University team did some good work For all the game was new to several of the boys, who have taken the place of the old men who dropped out, yet there was only one error The line was not so heavy as last year yet from all appearances it is made of as good material and will do its work as well The Guthrie boys expressed themselves as being pleased with treatment our boys showed them and said they would go home and begin playing football in earnest An impression is out that we have slender timber to pick from for the 'Varsity team this season Some of the big men are out of school, but 175 pounds is not a low ayerage weight We siill have Clement Obituary Miss Edna Ebert was born near Rothville, Mo July 20th 1877 She united with the

talked that in another week she would be able to be up, while her mother was bending over her waiting upon her she threw up her hands, gave one gasp and was gone The scene is heart rendering three little children under the age of 6 years left motherless Words cannot express our sympathy to the heart broken relatives We can only point them to the one whose grace is always sufficient, who is refuge and strength a very present hel in trouble A beautiful life is ended All knew her but to love her With her sweet disposition she carried sunshine wherever she went While our hearts are bleeding, all we can do is to ask the Father to comfort the stricken loved ones and to give his angels charge over the precious children to keep them in all their ways Mrs Leahy's father, Ebert

Flynn and Fegan, Last Monday afternoon Delegate Dennis Flynn and Senator Fegan addressed a fair sized audience in Norman Senator Fegan spoke first and held the close attention of the audience while he discussed National politics and the statehood question from a Republican standpoint of view His address was scholary, logical and convincing, delivered In a fervent manner and with good effect He was followed by Flynn who handled the statehood question in a manner that made even the Democrats present almost ashamed of the position their party had taken on the statehood question in Oklahoma and many of them began to wonder how the Democratic party in Oklahoma was so badly at variance with the Democratic party in Congress on the statehood question Mr Flynn showed uuu IVIISS llOUS Un rl bl one

if can have 2,000,000 from each generation, for raw material, some of these factories must close up, and the operators be thrown out upon a cold world, and the public revenue dwindle One family out of every five must contribute a boy in order to keep up the supply Will you help Which of your boys shall it be Are you a father Have you fiven your share to keep up the supply for this great public institution that is helping pay your taxes and kindly electing public officers for you Have you contributed a boy If not some other family has had to give more than its share Are you selfish Voting to keep the saloon open to grind up boys and then doing nothing to keep up the supply Ponder these questions, ye voters, and answer them to God, to whom you will one day give an account for the votes as well as the payers And ye mothers, wives and daughters, are you by precept, example and influence in every possible direction doing all you can to the democrats in Congress were for the Flynn Statehood bill and he failed to see why the democrats in Oklahoma who favored statehood, would vote to send a delegate to Congress opposed to the Flynn Statehood bill Flynn's speech made many votes for Bird McGuire in Normrn Oklahomans may and doubtless are very generous but not to the extent of being willing to divide with the Indian Territory all of the good things, in the way of Public lands, they have received from the government, neither are they willing to have statehood delayed until such a time as the Indian Territory could be made ready to become a state As a good sound business proposition Oklahoma wants statehood at the earliest possible day and wants it without the Indian I erritory as a part ot the new state but with provisions by which the Indian Territory as it gets ready for statehood can become a part of Oklahoma The government at Wash ington is better able to care for the Indian Territory in its present condition than Oklahoma and the Indian lerritory can get more money from Uncle Sam to assist it in getting out of its present condition than Oklahama could give without greatly burdening Oklahomans who have just passed through the bur dens, trials and expense of getting a good state government inaugurated and to ask them now to assume the burdens of getting the wheels of government to revolving in a territory almost as large as Oklahoma and with conditions not nearly so favorable as they were in Oklahoma is asking of them too much as Mr Cross will find out next November ranked as high record here is an But few students in their classes as she
