Scientific physical instruction isgiven to our students by specially equipped instructors.

No.7. While the intellectual and physical development of our studentsis amply provided for, so also is attention given to moral training. Thefaculty consis t s of chr ist ian men and women who, working through theschool, and in conjunction with the pastors of the different churches of ourcity, combine to furnish a splendid spir it ual environment .

No. 8. Who may enter this school?Any young man or woman of good moral character , who has finished

the eighth grade in the public schools, may enroll in this Normal. Thereare no t uition fees nor fee s of any kind. The state pays the salaries of thefaculty and fur nis hes all t he equipment and material. Transportation,board and books are all the expenses to be met by the pupil.

No.9. Who should attend this school?Every young man or woman who desires a state certificate to teach in

Oklahoma or in anyone of eighteen other states where our certificate isvalid. Every young man or woman intending to enter college or the univer­sity should get his preparation here. E veryone desiring a special course inagriculture, domestic science, manual training, vocal and instrumentalmusic, oratory and art, will find what is desired here. Every young man orwoman, who desires a thorough business course, including review in English,shorthand, typewriting, bookkeeping and penmanship, should come to theNortheastern. All the above t ourses in all the above mentioned depart-ments a re absolutely free. \

The launching of one of the great "Dread naughts" of our navy is at­tended with much ceremony and pomp. The high officials of the departmetin full dress uniform, the governor of the state, the name of which the ves­sel bears, with his staff, and his daughter to break the bottle of champatgneover it s pr ow, are all present when amid th e boom of cannon, beating ofdrums, and the shou t of t he th rong, the new defender of the nation glidesfrom the dry dock into the sea.

'I'oday the frail little barque, The Xortheustcm, is launched upon thejournali stic sea, and spreads its sails for popular favor, with no shoutingth rong, gol dal ce or champaigne. It slips from the dry dock, the room ofthe facult y's reviewing commit tee, with many blue pencil marks, but with thehope th at it will be able to face the rough winds of crit icism.

The Northeas tern is simply a student publi cation gotten out by t he stu­dents of the Northeastern State Normal. It does not expect to fill any"long felt wan t," or to attract at tention by its brilliancy or to be very dif­ferent fr om its kind . Its claim for public noti ce is the fact that it is of thestudents, by the students, for the students of the Nor theas tern Sta te Normal,find promises to give th e public all items of interest occurring there.

Its success is assured because a generous public alw ays encourages theetl'orts or students, and never demands too much of them.

"H ea l th is our first wealth," says Emerson. In line with this philos­ophy, the Northeastern State Normal , in company with other educational in ­stltutiona of this day, is paying considerable attention to athletics for thepurpose of developing the physical sie of her students.' P hysical training isan important factor in glviug brawn to the weaker, in strengthening thosewho are strong, and in systemat ically developing full and well roundedphysical men and women .

It is the design of the institution to make athletics of such interest thatthe delicate maiden who may have no other incentive to induce her to ac­quire her portion of the blessings of pure out door air and refulgent sun­shine, may find pleasure in wisely-selected exercise professionally directed,and that the growing young man may not forget to develop his physicalnature while a student within her walls. The conception of athletics inthis ins ti tut ion is to perfectly develop t he human body that the intellectmay be more perfectly developed.

President Redd's sta tements in chapel justifies us in s ta ti ng that hes ta nds first and last for clean athletics. This sent imen t is indorsed by theentire fa cuIty as well as by the student body. With this sentiment prevail­ing, athletics in the Northeastern Sta te Normal can not he other than ablessing to every student.

Mr. Cla rk, cha ir ma n of t he A thl et ic committee, says in no uncertainterms that all students who desire to engage in any of the athletic sportsmust be up to the standard both mentally and morally, and that all studentswho wis h to engage in competitive athletics .must carry a full course of studyand maintain a creditable standing in each subject. 'I'his ruling is being r ig­idly enforced and is gi\'in~ t he Northeastern State Normul pure, wholesomeathletics..

)11'. Butler Bushyhead ha s been employed as coach of the foot ball squad."Bushy," as he is called by th e boys, is an all round a thlete and his coachingis developing a strong and fast team, as the record of the t eam is showing.The firs t game of th e season was pl ayed with th e Cherokee Seminary andresulted in neither team being able to score.

The second game was played with the Henry Kendall College of Tulsa0 11 our grounds. The visltors were no match for our tea Ill . The score was22 to G in our favor.

games have been played at this writing, but everything indicates that :astrong team is being developed.

.That Tahlequah, the renowned educational center of Eastern Oklahomais in perfect harmony with the athletic spirit of the Normal was signified bythe fact that the business men of ·the city in one day contributed almost fourhundred dollars to the athletic fund to be used in preparing the grounds andequipping the teams. We wish to thank the citizens for their liberal dona­tions.

'Wit h elaborate and appropriate exercises the Northeastern State Normalwas formally opened on Statehood day. Many educators and men prominentin affairs were present. The Tahlequah Herald has the following to say ofthe opening:

Statehood Day was befittingly celebrated by Tahlequah on Tuesday ofthis week and the occasion was made especially interest ing by the formalopening of the Northeastern State Normal School and the inauguration ofthe president, Prof. D. Frank Redd.

Practically all the business houses of the city were closed in the after­noon and the citizens visited the school, where an informal reception washeld by the president in his office, and the visitors had the pleasure of seeingthe work being done in the several departments of this splendid school. Theequipment and the arrangement of the building was an agreeable surprise touiost of our citizens, who had not heretofore visited the school since it wasopened in September.

At 3.30 in the afternoon the football game between the East CentralState Normal team, of Ada, and the Northeastern of Tahlequah, was calledon the Normal athletic field. From the very first it was 'evident that theAda team was no match for our boys., Through a series of excellent playsthe 'I'ahlequah boys suceeded in piling the score up to that of 41 to 0, overAda, when time was called at the close of the game.

At ~ :00 o'clock in the evening a splendid audience assembled in th e-hapel of the Northeastern to witness the formal opening exercises and theinauguration of the president, Prof. D. Frank Redd. Vice President Ira L,Cain presided. Governor Haskell and State 8uperintendent Cameron wereunable to be present on account of urgent business . Hon, A. S. Wyly wasasked to take the place of both these gentlemen on the program, but he saidin his speech that he could not fill the place of three men . He made a mostinteresting speech in which he recounted the history of statehood and paida glowing tribute to the Female Seminary.

Senator E. M. Landrum was the second speaker and he made one of hischarncteristlc dialect speeches. It is so full of fun and interest that we pub ­lish it in full in this isssue.

jlayor Houston B. Teehee made an excellent address in which he spokeeloquentlj of the advantage of 'I'ahlequah as a school town.

Hon. A. 8. W.rly introduced the president, Prof. D. Frank Redd, whotreated th e audience to a most able and eloquent inaugural address. In thecou rse of his remarks Dr. Redd told of the work of laying the foundation fora great and successful school here, stating that with the support of thesplend id faculty and the loyalty of the people of Tahlequah the future oft he Northeastern was already assured. He said so many wise and g'oodthings that we deep ly regret that the Herald did not have a stenographerpresent 10 take down his speech so that we could reproduce his remarks inlu i..

Th e music and reading were nil excellent, a!' was attested by the hem-tvencores ~('I'o)'ded each of them ,

played. Next year the Northeastern Basketball team will be heard from.Plans are 011 foot for all phases of track team and we will have one of

the tinest tracks in the ~tate, and hope to have a team ready to rake partin anv 01' the events.

.<\ t the time of the last issue our football team had not lost a game, butwe are compelled in this issue to state that the "official records' of TWO

l!'nmes are against us.On October 22nd Olll' football team boarded too train bound for Durant

1111 a game had been scheduled with the Southeflstern Normal of that place.Here we met peculiar conditions and found a football team that had heenorganized to play football ruther than accomplish ~()od work in CI:U'R millwere determined to win by even foul meuas.

The "official record" is ngainst us by the score of 10 to O.The conditions were, while scrimmaglug near our goal, the hall in

Durant's possession, they attempted to penetrnte our line and fumbled hall,when Hogan Markham recovered the "pigskin" and made a touchdown, thereferee blew his whistle, saying : "1'111 the man behind the gun."

"Take it hack." .The hall was returned to play, being declared "dead" after whistle was

hIown, a very rank decision, In this manner the whole game was played,resulting in the Northeastern's defeat by the referee and not by .t he superiorplaying of our enemy.

'l'his defeat was overshadowed on the following Friday hy the defeat of.Iones' Academy of Hartshorne, on the gridiron, hy a score of 10 to 6. .Ioneshas a fine team, all being of Choctaw decent. They showed fine execution ofthe tactics of the game, but were unable to withstand the invincible Chero­kees, who predominate in the Northeastern squad.

Our next game was played in Statehood day against the Ada team, whoproved no match for the Northeastern, the score being 41 to O. This defeatthoroughly convinced the Ada boys that they were inferior to our team eventhough possessor of more "beef." However, they all reported a good time.They were entertained at the Nicholson, the best hotel in town, and had thepleasure of attending a successful program rendered hy the Normal in theevening.

The Normal faculty and student body were startled on day by the an­nouncement on the bulletin, as follows. "Durant has a streak of vellow,they canceled the Thanksgiving game." 'Phis was followed bv a se~'iN' oj'laments by both the faculty and student body, especially the football team.'l'he boys knew that they were superior to Durant and wished to prove itto the State. The Northeastern boasts of a victory over Durant, score heing6 to 0, by contract. However, "'I' preferred a game .as we are confident ofscoring higher.

Immediately steps were taken to procure another game with -Iones'.A~ademy, above mentioned. Vfe found them eager for another trial. Real ,izmg we had a very hard game before us we practiced hard under our able,~ach'. New plays were introduced and the old ones practiced to new svstem.Likewise .Jones prepared with all their power for this coveted game. .

The next scene is on the jrridiron. Novembsr' 2:'. :1 :00 p. m., both ChIli'-

JaWH and Cherokees in line Ior battle; both in the pink of condit ion. North­pastern received. Signals were called. which resulted in gain after gainuntil Shelton earried the Pigskin over for a tou chdown. After II few min­utes of wrnugting by referee we wore granted our trophy, and Ross kickedgoal. The next feature of th e game was when the Choctaws, failing to maketh eir downs, a punt was resorted to. Scott recovered the ball on the liO,yardline and made a dash for a tou chdown. 'I'his was rashly rebuked by the·'referec." who claimed that Seott stepped one-half inch over the boundaryline. This ruly WIIS disputed by man)' rooters and interested parties, but ,\11'.Hefel'cc was an official and like nn "honorable man," what he said sadlv "WllSthe law," the ball was again put in play. After a while, -Iones being 'iu ]lOS'

sessiou of the spheroid, a fumble was caused by a tackle. 11 ines immediatelyseized the sphere and made II 50-yard dash for a touchdown. As of old theslime man as has authority of Durant game, blew his whistle, which madethe ball dead and for a second's time the Normal was rashly deprived ofwhat she fairly won. 'I'hus the first half ended, score being Ii to (I in . OU I'
