In the hope of eliminating puesswork as far as possible, tho appreciating the fact that the relative values of players are merely matters of opinion. I have, for several years, consulted friends who know foot ball and football plajers, and who are scattered thruout the state. Therefore.

Honor are divided among a still creator number in hish nchool circles If 1 were called upon to rank t.iem, 1 would say Oklahoma City, Bartlesville. Marshall, Tulsa and Madill. Of these five, the first three, however, have equal claim, not one of them having been beaten by an Oklahoma high school this season. In the central conference, the best governed athletic organization in the state, Oklahoma City is supreme. The capital team ha not only gone thru tho season without a defeat, hat it has scored 696 points against 13 for It? opponents. In a way this is the best record ever made by any Oklahoma institution. Only once before bag itit total been beaten and that was last year when Norman tet a world's rec ord with a total of 601. While the Oklahoma Cityans are five points shy of the high mark, they can claim a better record In that their opponents scored only 13 points against them, while 22 point were made against Norman, a difference of nine points on defense, which gives Oklahoma "City a margin of four points when both offense and defense are considered.

(By W. D. LITTLE.) . ADA, Okla., Dee. 1. The choosing of an all-state normal school football team this season Is not a difficult matter. The individual players have stood out more than for two or 'hroe seasons past. On the first team, ac cording to my way of flgurirg the matter out, Central normal geu four men, both guards and both t-.ckles East Central gets three men, tUo cen ter and quarterback and one halfoack. Northeastern gets two, and end and fullback. Southeastern and Southwestern-gets one each The first team Is as follows: I.eft end, Durant, Southeastern. Deft tackle, Chitwood, Central. Left guard, Messer, Central. Center, Stegall, Kast Central Right guard, Korsythe, Central. night tackle, Clark, Central. Right end, Johnson, Northwestern. Quarterback, Koach, Kast Cer.tral. Fullback, Dean, Northwestern. Right halfback, Craig, Kast Central. Left halfback, L. Anderson, South western. Craig of East Central seems to hav the best claim for captain, as he piloted his team to. victory In 11 c de ciding contest. The second team: Left end, Lucas, Central. Left tackle, Keenan, Northwestern. Left guard. Weems. Kast Central. Center, Harris, Southwestern. Right guard, Helbnch, Southeastern. Right tackle, McKoy, East Central. Right end, O.

SECOND PLACE IN DISPUTE Baylor and Rice Have Best Claims; Rest of Field Badly Scrambled. (i;v Knnn rc. tai:man SjifU! to The World. - NORMAN. Oklu., Pec. 1 The foot ball eleven of the Texas Agricultural & Mechanical college has been ac claimed champions of the southwest ern intercollewate conference nt the close of li season In which the lust games decided the honors and in which more "dope" than ever before 'was spilled thru reversals in form shown by the various teams. It hit been a ragged season with most of the teams shoxvlng a flash of form one week, only to play like dubs In a following game and practi cally every team has lost gabies which should have won by safe margins, according to the advance ratings of s th contestants. I The Texas Aggies went thru the season without a defeat and thereby western championship despite the fact that the eleven did not play any o the northern teams In the confer ence. The I'niversity of Texas, Hire Institute of Houston, and Baylor were the three conference teams defeated I by the Texas Aggies. That team also won from the strong Tulane univer sity eleven and Louisiana State uni versity Second Place In Dispute. Second place In the conference can hardly be figured -out because of the unusual nii.xup Baylor and Rice, which did not meet, probably have the best claims. The records of.the various teams In their hardest games Indicates how difficult it is to place them. Baylor defeated the University of Texas, but lost to both the Texas Ag ues and Texas Christian university. Rice defeated the I'niversity of Texas but lost to the Texas Aggies. The I'niversity of Texas lost to Baylor, tha Texas Aggies, and the I'niversity of Oklahoma but defeated Texas Christian university, the Okla homa Aggies and Arkansas. , The I'niversity of Oklahoma de feated Texas, tied Arkansas and lost t(j the Oklahoma Aggies. Aggies Have God Record The Oklahoma Aggius lost to Texas In the conference, but defeated Okla homa. Arkansas tied Oklahoma, defeated Louisiana State and lost to the I'ni versity of Texas. - , Texas defeated the Oklahoma Ag gie, the Oklahoma Aggies defeated Oklahoma and Oklahoma defeated Texas, is a sample of one of several endless chains, which may be worked out as a result 0 the reversals In form. The record of the Aggie includes victories over Central Normal of-Kd-mond, Kendall college of Tulsa, Kan sas normals of Emporia and War rensburg. Mo., normals, in addition to the Sooners. The team lost to the Kansas Aggies, the I'niversity of Texas and Phillips. Nowata Hints CI11 remote. Fperisl to The World. CLAKKMomk, Okla., Nov. 1.

HOPPING REPRESENTS JULSA Cherokee Delivers Pair of Line Positions; Others Well Scattered. I'rom Madill on the south to Bartles ville on the north; from Muskogee on ' the east to Mountain View on the west one must go to gather together the greatest aggregation of high school football stars In the state this season. f On the route from one of these ex tiemnr to another stops must lie made at several stations to pick up tho lads who have played tho best game at their positions this season. Eight Jiteh schools have representation on this honor roll this season, Oklahoma and Cherokee being the only schools from which more than one star has been drawn. As might he expected from the team that has come within onr touchdown of mn Id tic a new world's record in total number of points the Oklahoma City team possesses three players whose playing marks them su perior to others at their positions. Cherokee has produced two. One each have been plucked from Tulsa. Mountain View, Mu-Uugeo, Bartles- . vllio, Marshall nnd Madill. ; Minis Plentiful. " Hijjh schools of the state this year have produced many stellar ends. Oklahoma City has a Pair of veteran wing men. both far above par. They are Oarnar ami Tyler. The former I n trifle faster than the latter. Tyler Is better both on defense and on tak ing forward passes and he gets the cull over Ills teammate. Tulsa has a good end in Hoop, but Roop was long er finding himself than was Marsh of Madill, and furthermore, those who have seen both Play .agree-that the southerner is more entitled to the ' f honor. To the individual work of ) Marsh more than anything else, Madill owes Its success and breaking into the lost-season elimination contest for the state championship. Extraordinary tackle have been a scarce In the high school ranks this year as they have been plontl,A f among the collegians.

Some say he is the best guard that ever came out of the west purt of the state, all of which would entitle him to selection above nny of the others. Second choice falls to Milam of Cherokee. Practically the whole power of tho Cherokee team was found In the left 1 Where playing side by side, Norris and Jviilam .opened wide holes for their backs to come sweeping thru.
