Sooners Cinch Conference Title
NUMBER 49.
★Displaying Their Usual Rugged Style of Football Oklahoma University Defeats Iowa State Cyclones to Win Their First Big Six Championship
Ames, Iowa, Nov. 19—(UP)—The University of Oklahoma today defeated Iowa College 10-0 to win its first Big Six championship, and remained in the 10 select list of the nation's undefeated and untied teams.
The Sooners did not allow a point to be scored against them in five Big Six games. Only one other team in the history of the ten-year-old conference was able to equal this record and that was Nebraska in 1936.
The Sooner 1938 record embraces eight straight victories and the victims have been Rice, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, Tulsa, Kansas State, Missouri, and Iowa State.
A stout defense and a bone crushing attack mixed with timely passes enabled Oklahoma to topple State from the undefended ranks.
Most of the game was played in Iowa State territory and because of this, Kisher, Iowa State candidate for all-American quarterback, was unable to throw his customary number of passes. But even with this handicap he completed 8 out of 13 for a net gain of 78 yards.
Oklahoma pushed over a touchdown in the first period and added a field goal in the third period.
The largest crowd ever to see a game at Iowa State, 21,500 attended Weather conditions were perfect.
Iowa State made *mine* first. *Didn't* bump the ball, however gained 91 yards from rushing compared with B3 for Iowa State. Oklahoma completed 8 out of 21 forward passes for a net gain of 111 yards. Kisler had the edge although in扑射, having on average of 42 yards against the latters' 39.
Oklahoma threatened on a number of occasions, but was able to carry the ball across the goal line only once. In the first quarter a pass by McCullough, the Sooners' backfield hit an inside corner. State 3 yard line and Seymour went over from there on his first plunge. Boudreau kicked the point.
McCullough augmented the Oakhame total with a field goal in the third quarter and scoring was completed for the day.
Iowa State gave the Soomers a tough battle and refused to admit they were licked until the gun sounded. However, repeated fumbles ruined the Cyclones' chances for some tallies of their own and Iowa State failed to score for the first time this season.
Hank Wilder, Iowa State's ball carrying ear, was kept on the sideline by injuries and Jack Weste fell off the wall. The knee in the first half by injury.
Oklahoma's big line turned in another fine demonstration, but was not able to push the Iowa State forwards around the way it is. The Cyclone line stopped Oklahoma's ball carriers cold on many occasions.
ON THE SHIN
by jimmy robertson
Economic Royalists at the Union building, or as I sometimes call them, bandits, obtained $1.75 under false pretenses from every college boy who went to the Frolic who wasn't a member of the M.S.C. Now I have never been one to incite a fairly peaceful citizenry into a frenized mob, but it seems the time has come. I shall no longer let principles stand in the way of my duty to humanity.
If a fellow checked his date's coat too, and went out at intermission, his checking hill for the evening came to 40 cents. That's nearly twice as much as the dance was worth.
when somebody pays $1.75 for the privilege of listening to a positively mediocre band it seems to me that he should be provided with a place to put his coat without having to pay for it. The check stand at the Frolic probably netted the outfit an additional $50.
Maybe I wouldn't be in such an Continued on page 2
Dr. 'Phoq' Allen
The man who forgot.
Reminds Dr. Allen Of Birthday
The telephone rang in the department of physical education office and Dr. Forest C. Allen was called. "Do you remember what kind of a morning it was. Nov 18, 1885?" was the query put to him.
Dr. Allen pondered a moment and replied, "No, I don't believe I do." "Well," said the voice, "you were there, weren't you."
After another moment of silence,
Dr. Allen admitted, "Yes, I guess I was",
as he remembered that it was just 33 years ago on that eighteenth of November that he was ushered into this world.
The man who didn't forget was Dr. A. S. Anderson, Lawrence physician and chief caretaker of Jawhawk athletes.

KFKU To Broadcast Fall Concert Record
Henderson, who has become famous for his clever arrangements of popular dance tunes, put on a show that surpassed his performing ability in 1558, according to students who attended both the 76 and 38 events.
Rhythm was king as Hill students swing out to the tunes of Fletcher Henderson and his orchestra at the Freshman Frolic Friday night in the Memorial Union hallroom.
Notes on Freshman Frolic
The fall concert given by the University Symphony orchestra last Friday night was recorded and will be broadcast over station KFKU
during the Christmas holidays.
Henderson, who is the band's pianist, amazed dancers with his unusual ability on the ivories, since he has played an musical score at all, playing by ear.
The hand boats several good soi-
loists, including a good trumpet
man and clarinet man, and a drum-
iner" who got in many in the fastest numbers. The girl is an instructor. And the style of Chick Webb's Ella Fitzgerald, and her rendition of "You Can Depend on Me" was enthusiastically received.
Don Wood, student dance manager, who arranged for Henderson's appearance here, reported that the crowd was one of the best to attend a Frolic in recent years. Wood attributed this large to the fact that Henderson is well-known to Hill students and is playing for playing dance tunes in a manner that appeals to college students.
Dress was formal for women and informal for men. The women's many-colored dresses made the scene an attractive one, with the result that everyone was in a "party" mood, and heartily applauded each number presented by the orchestra.
