The tract is bounded by NW23 on the south and, NW 30 on the north, Villa on the west and Pennsylvania on the east. Once favorite swimming holes of city residents, the two lakes still are favorite fishing spots of small fry to paddle around on homemade rafts."

He is head football coach of the University of Oklahoma, and all the experts seem to agree the Sooners should be something pretty special this autumn. The handsome, 34-year-old Wilkenson isn't agreeing or disagreeing, publicly or privately. He's just working long and hard with his big squad, hoping for the best when the season kicks off in Boston Friday night. But in addition to this, he is busying himselfwith the whole matter of athletics at OU, of which he is director; and with many details of the great stadium expansion program - of which the campus gives dramatic evidence. With all this, Bud Wilkinson is a busy man. For a lot more about him, see pages 14 and 15."
