 The teams averaged almost the same in avoirdupois. Prescott averages about 173, Phoenix 175. The game was hard fought, but clean and manly. No serious injuries resulted to anyone Phoenix excel1ed in line bucking, the Prescott team seemingly unable to prevent the making of holes to crawl through. Prescott line held up we'll and their interference was good.
 Fowler's playing was wonderful in view of the fact that he went into the game with lame leg. Butts playing at quarter was perfect. Willis and Robinson made good gains through the line and under interference Willis cleared the end twice for good gain. Evans and Smith played at tackle splendidly and to Evans belongs the honor of the only touchdown. Byrnes, Sullivan and Wynkoop proved too much for Prescott and made havoc with them. Cooley and Mclaughlin played end tackle like veterans and stopped end runs successfully Mo Laughlin saved a touchdown at one time after Willis fell off in tackling.
 Willis was dazed by DeLanty's fierce tackle and partially lost the power of his arms. The game was well fought. Phoenix has much to be proud of and
 Prescott nothing to be ashamed of.
