There won't be a raid or anything of that sort, however. Workmen will simply move in and dismantle the buildings.

Both clubs have been landmarks in the controversy over Oklahoma's liquor and anti-liquor laws. The Shangri La club, 633 NE 23, occupies a building which has been the site of various private clubs both before and after prohibition. The Chatterbox Club, 2440 N Lincoln, ran into considerable difficulty with law enforcement officers about two years ago, but has continued to operate. Mike Samara, manager of the Shangri La, and Dick Dolph, president of the Chatterbox, both say they have recieved no word as to when the state will need their property. Both clubs plan to operarte as long as possible in their present locations and then move to new sites. Neither club has selected a new location, however."

Royal made it three-in-a-row over Oklahoma, a team he quarterbacked in 1949. Sooners had little to cheer about Saturday as a lightning-fast Longhorn team counted in every period.
