read about the Oklahoma yOU'VESooners' meteoric rise to top rank in U. S. football. Bud Wilkinson, Mu '37, is two of the three reasons for their success.

"On the first play of the fourth period, Mel Lyle ran an end-around for Louisiana State, and we have never seen it run more ferociously. And we've never seen a foot ball agent greeted more robustly. A shoe- top tackle lifted Lyle into the air where he was almost torn in two by a following thunderbolt. He lost the ball, hut was fortunate in retaining his head. . . . Yet the game was played with excessive clean liness. It was simply man-sized. . . ."

Thus a bemused Memphis sportswriter tried to sum up the Sugar Bowl game that climaxed the greatest season that Okla homa University had had in 30 years. It was no fluke that Oklahoma came into the Sugar Bowl with a winning streak of Charles B. ("Bud") ^X'ill(inson, Mu '37 20 successive games behind them.

Due to the fact that we placed eighth out of sixteen fraternities in the Scholarship Cup standings, let it suffice to say that we shall endeavor to do better next year. Epsilon Phi has always believed in close relations with its alumni association, and to this end the second vice-president has been named liaison officer between the active chap ter and its alumni. Although the program is sUU young, it is felt that there will be many advantages to both sides.
