E1- Queen LiliuOkaIani Proposes to En-
joy Herself In Boston.
BOSTON. MASS, Dec. 26.-Ex-Queen
Liliuokaiani will spend Sunday morning
in her rooms at the Parker House, and in
the afternoon, if the weather is propitious,
she will take her first sleighride.
To-day was spent in her rooms resting
and receiving friends, among whom were
several well-known Boston ladies who
made her acquaintance when she was here
before. The ex-Queen has been particu-
larry so!icitous in inquiring after those
whom she met during her previous visit
here. and her first question on reaching
Boston was concerning the late Hugh
O'Brien, who was Mayor then and whom
she decorated with a floral wreath in front
of the Parker House when she was taking
her leave. Yesterday she inquired par
ticularly concerning Mrs. O'Brien and
Mrs. Ames, the widow of Governor Ames,
whom she remembered equally as well.

Prescott Team Defeated by
Government School
Players.
Pima Youths Put Up a Dashing
Game Against Heavier
Opponents.
Their Victory gives the Redskin
Punters the Championship of
Arizona.

PHOENIX, ARIz., Dec. 26.-The foot
ball eleven of the United States Indian
School near this city to-day won the
championship of the territory in game
with the Prescott eleven, which conquered
Phoenix yesterday. The game was hard
fought from beginning to end. Averaging
fifteen pounds less in weight than their
antagonists the copper-colored punters
put up dashing play and scored 20 to
Prescott's 6. They have lost but one game
out of four played this season.
The Indians averaged in weight 146
pounds; Prescott 161. The heaviest III
dian weighed 1863 pounds; the lightest 134.
The Indians did very little punting or
open playing, but relied on a revolving
wedge, which was something new 10 Pres
colt and could not be resisted. They were
also strong in interference and tackllng
and good runners. Their mass plays were
we'll executed and SO perfectly did they
play together that they had everything
their own way from the start. They
played fairly and came out without a
scratch.
The Prescott eleven did not fare so we'll.
B. f. Delanty, Campbell, Howard and
Coots were disabled in mass plays. The
Prescott men made game fight and ex-
ecuted some brilliant plays, but they could
not cope with the willy red men. Pritchett,
Trile and Marion were strong in tacklIng.
Captain Myers made a touchdown on a
beautiful halfback kick, which had never
been seen in Phoenix before. The Prescott
mass plays were principally OF the Penn
syivania tandem variety, and were gener-
ally successful. The team was weakened
by having four men disabled in the game
with Phoenix yesterday.
The Indian football team was organized
at the United States school by Superin-
tendent HARDWOOD Hall last year, and sew
eral matches were played with he Phoenix
eleven. The Pima boys seemed to possess
every qualification except confidence. The
games were all won by Phoenix. After
the Indians had a year of training under
Messrs. Cochran and Lesion, experienced
athletes, and conquered their timidity,
they became a formidable aggregation.
Four of the team that won to-day had
never played until this winter. The reds
had the advantage of the whites in giving
signals as they did not use cipher but
spoke in their native tongue.
