State Normal and by the score, which was three to four in favor of the N. Eastern, we feel that we have the material to make a good team, and will expect them to add many honors to their list.

However, we know that Bacone is fast coming to the front among the best schools in this part of the state in ath- letics. On April 13th, 1913, a dual track meet between Ba- eone and the Muskogee High School was held on the Bacone Athletic field.
