Our boys are badly outweighed at the present time playing
against these terrific odds» We did not practice much Monday and Tuesday, today,
we will not practice at all, In the waning months of a strenuous season the
coach must conserve tho strength of the boys and if he practices then hard
they will not have the strength te go throughs Therefore, we use our men
very sparingly, and further than that we give them vitamins and glycogen, and
betulin regularly, and for an energy producer we give them dextrine So you
see we would not be able to exist unless we very carefully watched the
intake ‘of energy as well as the output, and even then it is not possible to
balance the two because we are putting out more energy by the tear~down
method than we have been able to conserve by the special feeding processe

Perhaps this will serve of some interest to youe last year
we played the Miversity of Oklahoma et Norman to finish our BigeSix season —
on March 3 Then on Merch I we had a threowwmy tie playeoff between :
Missouri, (Oklahoma and Mansass In the drawing we drewa byes Oklahoma
with big, powerful, ranging men and Missouri with excessively tall men
in the linseup played the first game and Oklahoma wone Then on Merch 12
we played Okinhom. at Wichita and defeated then by 59 to 45— Since our
NeCeAshe Pifth District has two conferences, and since Oklahoma Ae and Me
won their Conference championship and we were declared the winner of
ours, the playeoff to determine the Fifth District Representative was

played between Oklahoma Ae and Me and Kansas at Oklehome. Citye Kansas won
by a 45 to 435 scores — |
