Admission that the Sooners were beaten by a stroke of fortune, that tbev possess the most bewildering varied attack, that they are unexcelled lor K.'imeness and sportsmanship, and that they gained the admiration of everyone In the north Is made by the Illinois player In a confession which could not be suppressed. "Itcnnlc Owen'., Sooners must not be underestimated," reads portion ol the confession.

Special to Tho World. AD, okla., Jiov, 6. New hope for state honors has arisen In the breasts of tho Fast Central foot lull artists. By defeating Southwestern, by the overwhelming score of 54 to 0, they believe they have In a way blotted out the defeat by Northeastern. The belief that they can defeat Central and Mill be considered contenders fo state honors Is present. Tho game against Southwestern demonstrated that Clark's men have an attack that Is hard to meet when tt Is going right. The defense Is good, only one team having scored on the Peiiagogs this season. But it was In the offensive work that was the pleas ing feature. O. Vernon Joined the ranks of Fast Central gTidlron heroes when he displayed such brilliant form In tho first quarter of the contest. He outran the opposition, snntched for ward pnsses from tho air. intercepted jiasses hurled by the opponents and laek ciTectlveli-. lie was forced to heave the game In the b game In the beginning of Die second quarter with a sprained knee, and It Is very likely that hud he re mained In the game the score would have run up much higher. Ingram went Into the gatu to take O. Vernon's place, and he was unable to connect with tho long heaves, forc ing all this work on MacMillnn on the other end. MacMillnn stid up under the strain, but Die defense switched to that side und kept down the suc cessful pusses. The game also showed that the local teachers can penetrate almost nny line. Outweighed by several pounds, the locals tore thru theWea therford line at will. Craig nnd Gug golx took time about In driving tt wedge thru for eight and ten yards. Bench and Young and Craig also skirted ends beautifully. Tho next game for Clark's protege Is with the strong Phillips team at Knid next Friday. It Is hardly ex pected that the Teachers will be able to win over Phillips but they believe they will make a creditable showing. Ueturning, they will stop over and watch the Sooners work at Norman. Coach Wantland's showing against the Aggies In the game Saturday caused the local players to fear that Central has a stronger team than was at first thot. Several new plays are being worked out to sprtng on the Central player I third place. The pitching staff, how- ever, was not of the best, and It la probably that an attempt will ho made to Inject a little vim Into tho hurltrs. It Is also iwsslble that a youniior man will be procured to take the place of Jack Miller at the keystone sack. Mmiaiters Iilsfailsfliil. It l the Chicago, Pittsburgh. Brook lyn. Philadelphia and Boston clubs that the preat changes will be made. The owners and managers of these clubs have expressed more or less dls. satisfaction at the way their athletes have been performing, and are bent on building winning ball clubs, either thru The purchase or trading or play ers. President Weeghman of the Chicago Cubs has announced that he Is going to get new blood into the Bruins' lineup and that he is willing to spend 20o.OOO to accomplish it. The greatest change In the Cubs' team will be made In the pitching and catching departments. The outfield Is strong us it stands, should Leslie Mann come back. Charley Deal and Charley Per.hous tire hardly up to the task of guarding third base, but It Is probable that Hitler, Kllduff and Ilollorher will be seen at first, second and shortstop respectively.

MITCHEL DEFEAT ADMITTED EARLY CONTINUED KtlOM PAGE ONE. detect the difference between the true and sham, "A lamentable feature of the cam paign was the Injection of serious issue by defaming some of our most loyal cltlrons in a hysterical attempt to abuse their patriotism. Hylan carried all five boroughs of greater New York. His best showing was in Brooklyn, where Bennett polled a large part of tho primary vote which won him the Republican nomination after a recount. It was conceded by the managers of all par ties that many of the votes cast for Bennett would huve gone to Mitchel If ho had been tho Republican nomi nee, but Bennett's total for more than half the city added to Mltchel's would not huve been enough to defeat Hy lan. Had the election been close, the result might have hinged on the votes of S5.000 New York soldiers and sail ors now In government service, but If all of them voted for Mitchel It would not change the result.

BIXBY ENDORSES THE ROAD BOND ISSUE Enthusiasm "for Proposition is Displayed in Well Attend ed Meeting. Tf the meeting Inst night tit Blxby may bo taken ns a criterion of the sentiment in that city on the road bond Issue now before the voters; of Tulsa county, Blxby will roll up a good majority for hard-surfaced roads. This was the second of the series of personal presentations of the propisition, Involving $1,750,000, which comes up for vote November 20. The third meeting is to be held tonight at Broken Arrow. Thro Address Meeting. As nt the Monday night meeting at Jenks, the speakers last night were Lewie Cllne, county clerk; K. Bee Uuthrey, highway commissioner of the Chamber "of Commerce, and George K. Reeves, county attorney. The biggest crowd, which met In Odd Fellows' hall, broke into enthu siastic applause when Ixwlu Cllno de livered "a message from tho bourd of county -commissioners to the people of Blxby. This was with regard to tho three-milo stretch of road south of Blxby, thru the bottoms. This stretch had not been designated for paving In the election call, nor marked on the maps. P.lxby citizens desire greatly to have this Improved. VI was instructed by the three com- miioners to tell you that this roud will bo iived and that the contract will be let at the same time the rest Is if the election curries," suld Mr, Cllne. "That was all we wanted to know." J. F. Poller, prominent business man of Blxby, said. "There is now no doubt that Blxby will be for the proposition c-y a large majority. Cost to Each Person. Mr. Outhrey opened the discussion of the question after being introduced by George Wiles, president of the liixby Commercial club. Mr. Guthrey reviewed briefly the question of fi nancing the paving, the cost to each person and the designation of the roads to be paved. He stated that it will cost $35.87 on each $1,000 valua tion during the entire 25 years dur ing which the bonds are being retired. This will mean $1.79 each year on the $1,000 valuation. "Kvery man in this county who uses the roads, will save what It costs him each year on the $1,000 evory month," said Mr. Guthrey. "He will suvo it in countless ways. The Tulsa Chamber of Commeroo, to a man, Is behlffrt this proposition. This means that the large property holders of the county, those on whom the burden will fall heaviest, are for investing their money for tho returns the rood system will bring." Mr. Cllne stated that, while some bridges must be built, the expens-j of building them will not come from the bond Issue. The county has avail- able $81,000 from the state gross pro duction tax money, which can go for the bridge improvement nosossary. Ircise!it Indebtedness Mr. Cllne then sold Dint the pres ent bonded indebtedness of the county Is $500,000, and that now there is in the sinking fund $197,000 la retlro the $200,000 bridge bonds, which fait due In 1921. This practically mennn that the county is in debt only $300, 000. Nsing illustrations drawn from the experiences of other cities and towns, George Beeves told what' it will monn to this county to have a system of hard-surraced roads connecting all tho towns in the county. Ha predicted tho population will be doubled wlthci five years, and that the city and county, already leaders of the state In nearly every respect, will be best known of any section in the United States. He pointed to the example of Tnneha as showing what paved roads mean to a community. There, lots which sold for g cents taxes a few years bo, now are selling for $100 each. At the meeting tonight at Broken Arrow, C. II. Cleveland, of Sklatook, will be on of the" speakers.

A promise of relief from the sugar famine and a statement from tobacco dealers Justifying their prices were developments in the Tulsa county council of defense high cost of Uvlng prone yesterday. The tobacco men who own large stores on Main street offered copies of trade publications and bills of lading to prove their contention that they are making only a narrow margin of profit. "Ve are selling 5-cent cigars for 6 cents and 10-cent cigars for 11 cents." said Tom Kingsbury, "but cigar dealers everywhereare doing tho same. We are only following the example of r'eulers elsewhere. The jobbers have advanced the prices again and rguln until we are forced to charge these prices to our cus tomers or be forced, out of business. Cnusually heavy taxes are also an Item to be considered in figuring our expenses of operation. Our popular bran of 10-cent clgarets for which we get 15 cents are now costing us, wholesale, nearly 11 cents a pack age." Chairman J. nurr Gibbons, chair man of the council of defense, last night Interviewed some of the loading tobacco merchants. Ho stated later that ho thot they were making only a reasonable profit on cigars and pessibly on clgarets . and smoking tobacco. The railroads were partially blamed for the sugar shortuge here In a tele gram sent by the council yesterday to the federal food administrator tor tho .state and the corporation com mission. It was announced that four wholesale houses have large ship ments coming in this week, providing the railroads get them here. Grocers should not charge more than 10 cents a pound for sugar." said Gibbons. "The public should not try to lay In a supply more than suf ficient for Immediate use. Grocers should sell only a limited amount to each purchaser. In that way we can prevent unother shortage in all prob ability." The telegram sent to the comora- tlon commission was as follows: "Corporation commission, Oklaho ma City: Hugur situation In Tulsa has reached a most serious stage. Jobbers have none. Few retailers, if any, have sugar. Ilale-Halsell Grocery company Informs us Frisco railroad has had car of 90.000 pounds since November 1, but fall to deliver same. Prompt delivery will relieve very crit ical situation here. Tulsa County Council of Defense." I. W. W. OFFICES ARE RAIDED BY DETECTIVES Lewis and Blaine Get Lone Loafer; Eleven "Vag" Cases Continued. Police Detectives Lewis and Blaine early lust night raided the headquar ters in the New Fox hotel building of the organization known as the Indus trial Workers of the World, arresting K. c. Morris, whose right name Is be lieved to be K. C. Morrison. Morris was the only man In the .office last night when the detectives' made the raid. Letters found in his possession, and apparently from his wife, took him to task for not tislng his proper name. It was stated in more than one letter that packages and letters had been returned to the writer because Morris was using an assumed name. Another letter, seemingly from his son, was brief, reading, "I am at Pacific; take the route." Morris was placed In the municipal Jail when he failed to make bond In the sum of $100, and he will go to trial with the eleven othe men who were caught In a raid on the head quarters Monday night. Because sel for the I. W. W.'s, announced that he was not ready for trial, the court granted a continuance of one day and these cases are expected to be dls posed of this afternoon. When the first man of the group was called to trial, Richardson ob jected to arty procedure until a writ ten complaint had been produced, and stated that he would offer a similar Charlie Klchardson, retained as coun- objectlon .in all of the eleven cases. However, his objectios did not halt the progress of the court as Municipal Judge T. D. Evans announced that the cases would proceed without a writ ton complaint. At this juncture Richardson stated he desired to liave the cases contln ued for one day and following its usual custom of granting either the defense or prosecution a continuance of one day the request of tho defense was granted. Onlv one of the men arrosted Mon day evening had been able to make bond Tuesday, and this man was placed back in Jull la.it evening when his bondsmen took down their bond money, slating they did not care to stand good for tho prisoner's appear ance in court.

' ,. SpecUl to Th World. OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 6 "A blank wall and a firing squad may soon be thi remedy for pro-German-Ism in Oklahoma In the few sections where It exists," declares the Okla homa State Council of Defense, in sending out to its members warning to take every precaution to protect stores of foodstuffs from incendiury fires. The statement comes as a re sult of the destruction of foodstuffs In north and east thru German kgentu and as a result of the realization of what German propaganda and the German spy system huve .done in Rus sia and Italy. The work of German agents was also evklent in the food pledge campaign in this state. "''Every American," the statement continues, "must realize that we ure at war, that our lads are already at the front, that that man who is not aiding in America's fight aaglnst Ger many is aiding the Prussian to slaughter his neighbor's sons. "We muet realize that a few traitors In oui midst can kill. Indirectly, more American boys than can entire bat talions of Prussian soldiers. We must realize that a disloyal remark Is an as.-w,in'B shot at overy boy wearing khaki. "Those living in America can be of but two classes, .Americans or ene mies. Protection for our own lads at tho front and for our own mothers and children and homes demands that enemies among us be kept behind bars"bnly until that ptuihhment all traitors deserve can be meted out to them." A timely warning is also sent to those who make statements without realizing that they are placing them selves in the class with traitors. "Bo- wate," the statement says, "you may make pro-German remarks and not be molested now. But a day of wrath Is coming lb America Just as surely as It came in England and France and In the countries of other of our allies. The careless statement you make to day will arise like a specter at some future date and brand you as a mur derer among your neighbors, whose sons have been killed in battle." Mucn Information concerning dis loyal statements has been turned over to federal authorities by the Okla homa Hiate Council of Defense. Pa triotic citizens should report such things to the council headquarters. State House, Oklahoma City. FOOD PLEDGES STILL SOUGHT IN THE CITY Total for Tulsa County is 22,- 888; Would Make it 25,000 This Week. Total food pledges in Tulsa county as a result of lust week's campaign were 22.888, according to a report made to. Ktratton D. Brooks, federal food administrator for Oklahoma, by Llluh D. Lindsay, manager of the lo- - cal campagn, yosterday. "We should have 25,000 pledges," sad Mrs. Lindsay last night. "There are a large number of persons who did not have an opportunity to sign the pledge or overlooked it, but who now desire to keep their records clear by signing up. For the benefit of these we have arranged for anyone desiring to sign up to do so at the county farm demonstration office in the courthouse, or by telephoning to me at my residence." RAISES CONSIDERABLE SAND Mebbo Uie Defendant Was Right After AU; lie Was Fined, However. "Jedge, I paid the rent for the automobile ride, got out of the ma-, chine and then my pocketbook was gone and one of them men right thar ' got it." She was a lady of color who sallied forth on a mission in a livery car operated by E. Cross and F. D. Smith, also colored, she had lost her pooketbook and she was in police court seekng redress. However, the redress was not forth coming, as the best the municipal tribunal could do was fine the two de fendants $10 and Instruct the clerk to call the next case, which he did. Perhaps not in recent moons have court fans been treated to such genu ine entertainment as featured the trial of the municipality against Cross and Smith. The first witness to occupy the stand was the complainant herself. She related a lengthy story of the af fair and related it loud enough for all to hear. Then 'after the city, had finished with her the judge asked the de fendants if they wanted to ask her any questions. "Naw, s-u-h," one of the defendants hurriedly replied, "I don't want to talk to that woman at all." But he took the stand, however, in his own behalf and to the neutral ob server it would appear that there was considerable logic in his contention that there wasn't a "colored woman who was going to drop her pocketbook and tell somebody she would come back after it later." The plaintiff had testified that she knew when she dropped the purse and that she had told the men she would be back after It in a minute. The fact that when searched one of the men had . "a $1 bill that looked Just like one" she had in her purse at the -time of Its disappearance convinced the woman that she had the right parties while the courtroom howled. , In his closing arguments for hit case one of the defendants said: "Judge, that woman most suttinly raised? a terrible lot of sand while we was coming back to find a policeman to search us. If I had taken her pocketbook I shorely would have handed it back. I couldn't have kept it with her raising sand like she was." However, the court deemed It ad visable to assess each a fine of $10. Their action in leaving the car and separating before the officer arrlvl caused the Judge to believe they might posniuiy nHve naa something to do with the disappearance of the nurasi and its contents of $(.4B.
