Tucson Ariz., Nov. .E-(Special cor respondence of The Republican)-Th university of Arizona Monthly" made it's first bow to the world last Monday, and was distributed to subscribers at the library. It is an attractive little sheet of thirty pages, magazine size, bound in a very neat cover of heavy paper with a steel engraving of the main building as a frontispiece. The cover is done in colors, and makes very presentable journalistic appear ance The matter throughout is of an exceptionally high literary order. due to the vigilance of the publishing board and is hastily arranged and set off by numerous engravings.
 Prof. Blake delivered an address be- fore assembly, Friday morning, bear ing on the incid5 nts of his recent trip into New Mexico. He has just return ed from visit to the San PeduC valley and his remarks had Ito do chiefly with the mining interests and geological formation of that strip of country. Prof. Blake advances the theory that this immense valley was once a vast inland sea, perhaps the largest on this continent, and his recent trip has brought to light facts that more than ever convince him thaIr his theory is not erroneous. He expects soon to is sue a pamphlet from the school which will treat this subject in detail. from geological standpoint. This will be an interesting subject to the public as well as valuable to the scientific world His address was as full of humor as of in .tsresting information.
 The subject of changing the college colors was discussed before assembly, and a committee was appointed to look into lCle matter and select colors more suited to the ne eds of the hour in ath letic lines. and also for decorative pur- poses.
 The students Dormitory association gave a social hop last Friday evening from S:3O until 12. A large crowd of students and friends from Tucson were in attendance and helped to make the evening enjoyable.
 The Varsity eleven lined up with the local Indian team on the campus grid iron Saturday afternoon. The morn ing had been one of constant drizzl5, leaving phe field quite muddy by noon. Time was called at 2:30, and by that time rain was coming down in earnest, sopping the field to a slushy adobe, which made the play slower than usual. The Indians kick d off, sending the ball well down the field. where it was caught and returned 20 yards. Var sity played ragged for the first ten min utes. as it could not get used to the heavy, slippery ball. The ball alter mated between the two teams repeated ly, neither being able to advance it to any advantage for some time. Var sity secured the ball on downs and proceeded to do some execution, S nd ing the half around the end for 20 yards. The guard broke through the line for repeated gains and a touch down. The play then became fast and furious, Varsity hammering tho line and skirting the ends with good re- suits. The Indians put up a strong de- fensive game, but the college men proved too much for them, and at the end of the first 9 minute half the score was 23 to 0. The second half the excellent training the Varsity team has been under began to tell, as with seem ingly little trouble they waded through the line and around the ends for big gains. Touchdowns were the rule rather than the exception, as when a chain of Varsity interf frence circled the end the ball generally landed back of the goal line with another tally to their credit. At the end of the second half, which was only 15 minutes l1ng the Varsity had piled up a score of 3 flo 0. A pleasing feature of the game was the attendance of students from the ladies' dormtory. The driving rain proved too weak for college spirit, which held a small crowd 0n the col lege gridiron all through the game. The team is in excellent trim and do ing ine work under the coaching of Prof. Skinner, and will be on deck to give the red man his dues in Phoenix Thanksgiving day.
