An outstanding pitcher on the

NO TEXAS ■ OKLAHOMA SERIES THIS YEAS
Some misunderstanding has arisen about the new edition
of the Oil Bowl game to be played August 18 in Wichita Falls.
Much of the confusion is based on the prospects thlt Texas will,
again, this year tangle with a Sooner squad from Oklahoma.
This is not the case in 81.
The usual Texas - .Oklahoma grudge match will not be
seen. NCAA rulings have made it impossible for this season’s
tussle to be played on that level. Okahoma boys can not play
as:x IggjPtJiut ttvergl of the Jsgpper state’s top athetes are on
the line-up. playing fo reither the West Texas squad or the
>- East Texas squad.
The renewed East - West rivalry dates back to the first
Oil Bowl, held in 1938 and continued in 1939. After the '39
game the teams shifted with the 1940 editioi) played as a
North Texas-South Texas battle. In 1944 fans witnessed a Nprth
Texas squad playing agajnst a group of S^uth Texas boys.
From all this shuffling emerged the popular Texas-Okla-
homa match in 1948 Aided by the end of WoHd War II, the
contest developed into one of the most popular pre-season ball-
games in the Southwest and continued to dominate such bowl
action through the years.
This popular match between two friendly rival' states con-
tinued until this season, when the NCAA ruling on all star
games kept the Oklahomans, as a team, from playing. However,
as we said before, many of that state’s outsanding players
have joined one of the two Texas squads.and will play in the
game this year.
Oil Bowl officials expect next season's game to return
to the Texas-Oklahoma series, which has proved so popular
.with the fans from both states, and which has a|so benefited
the crippled children df tintli .............a wild _____
Locally fans may obtain ticket* for the popular event from
Loren Maples Furniture and Appliance store. Sponsor is the
Maskat Temple, with revenue going for the crippled children.
