The Contest. On April 17, 1908, a battle was fought between the tribes, Illini and Pushmataha. It was not a contest for physical prowess, with bows and arrows as weapons, but was of an intellectual nature wherein were used essays and declamations. The braves of the two tribes w'ere not so eager to fight when they learned of the new method, so in true Indian fashion, they left the squaw to do all the work. Tilton Wead was elected chief of the Illini in the essay fight, while Mayme Coleman was chief of the Pushmatahas. The battle raged fiercely for about twenty minutes and it was decided by five palefaces that the Pushmatahas had fairly earned the essay. Then came the fight with declamations as weapons. The Illini thought surely they would win with Josephine Waldrip as chief, but the Pushmatahas were equally as certain of victory with Alice Morris as their chief . Again the battle raged, but, alas! the palefaces again decided in favor of the Pushmatahas, and the Illini sadly departed with their warriors, leaving the Pushmatahas victors of the field, but they fiercely resolved that they would win in the next battle. 27
