	What's an Oorang?
		The Indians, who were one of the largest drawing attractions of any of the NFL teams of the time, spent long weeks on the road moving from Rochester to Toledo to Chicago to Minneapolis to St. Louis.
		The Oorang Indians lined up on offense for their first contest in 1922 against the Indiana Belmonts, who were not an NFL team.
		And after the Indians followed up their inaugural 2-6 season in 1922 with a 1-10 campaign the next year, Lingo, who was beset with financial problems, was forced to disband the team.

	History: The Oorang Indians - Pro Football Hall of Fame
		Members of the NFL in 1922 and 1923, the Oorang Indians were organized by Walter Lingo, the owner of the Oorang Dog Kennels in the small town of LaRue, Ohio.
		Lingo went on to explain that he had placed Thorpe in charge of an all-Indian football team that toured the country’s leading cities for the express purpose of advertising his Airedale dogs.
		So, at the end of the 1923 season, the Oorang Indians, undoubtedly pro football’s most unusual team, folded their tents and shut down for good.

	Stilwell Football:
		McLemore had learned from the best, playing for the Jim Thorpe coached Oorang Indians and against soon to be legendary coaches George Halas and Curly Lambeau, and used his knowledge to guide his '28 squad to a finish of 6-1-2.
		The Indians were upset again by Stigler 7-6 early in the season but managed to score a big 26-0 win over Checotah to claim a share of the title.
		The 1944 Indians lost a little of their offensive punch of the year before, scoring only 130 points, but the defense was actually better than the previous year allowing only 39 points.

	STILWELL FOOTBALL'
		Stilwell's 5-1 start was their best since 1990, but the Indians lost three of their next four and barely held on to claim the fourth playoff spot which they earned thanks to a Checotah upset of Muldrow, the Wildcats lone victory of 1998, in the final week of the regular season.
		The Indians' seemed to be on the verge of the schools first back-to-back playoff berths, but went into a tailspin and lost three straight to end the season.
		The Indian's shocked the defending state champions behind the smart quarterbacking of Senior Tye Mitchem, the swift feet of 1,000 yard rusher Keith Watkins and a suddenly immovable defense.

	The Era of The Nation
		Subscribing to the ideas of the "Indian reformers" of the time - many of whom were Quakers and Christian missionaries - Pratt believed the solution to the so-called "Indian problem" was not separation, which was the function of the reservations, but assimilation.
		The big Indian Captain added more lustre to his already brilliant record, and at times the game itself was almost forgotten while the spectators gazed on Thorpe, the individual, to wonder at his prowess.
		In the first period Powell, the Indian fullback, was sent off the field for a mix-up with Herrick of the Army team, and in the second half Capt. Devore of the Cadets drew a similar penalty for an encounter with Vederneck.
