In one of the hardest, most bitterly fought, brL withal. one of the clean- est foot ball battles eyer seen on a local gridircn. the Phoenix Indian school heam defeated the eleven from the University of Arizona. Thursday af- tern0on. The score was 6 to 0, and about 2,50O or 5000 people witnessed the game
 From the kickoff until the fina15'all of time the two teams played foot ball of nature sufficiently good to gratify the most fastidious lover of the great American game. It was essentially a gentIemanly game and but q minimum quantity of squabbling was called into use.
 The result of the game agreed with prophecies of local foot ball ex- perts. Reputed good judges had fore seen that the Indian team would win, and the eleven from the government school stood favorite in what nttle bet ting was donz, in some cases odds of 2 to 1 being given. It had been figured that the uniVersity's sole chance of scoring lay in the first half of the game, and that according to precedent, the Indians would wear down their op- ponents and win in the second half. Conseq qUently when the redskins began the game by ripping. tearing. smashing and crashing through the collegian line and then capping it all with a touch down within ten minutes, the enthusi- astic snarps predicted large and very bs, are as dificult to forecast as are horse races. Instead of putting the best Of its playing in the first part of the per formance, the college team seemingly reserved it's best playing until ths final half and then played such fast foot ball as to keep the Indian goal con- Stantly n serious danger.
 After the kickoff the Indians worked steadily down through the university territory. The c5lle gians were totally unable to stop the Indian formation of guards and tackles back. Smith, F. Lugo and Silva5 took turns in ripping through tl;e holes at guard and tack le; and varying their offensive work with occasional trips around the end, and straight bucks by Patricio Iugo, carried the ball to within ten yards of college g5al. The university held here, and desperately, but i'll vain. The h. dians lost the bail on downs, but rr- gained it promptly and then sent P. Lugo through Marian, straight between the goal posts. Enos kicked goal. Score, to 0.
 Here tha university took it's injection of nerve and energy and carried the oval to the Indians 25-yard liue. Par ker, Russell Reynolds and Day alter mated in short trips through the line, and in ten minutes more had d goal in sight, but failed in an attempt at a goal kick from the field. 1.-The Indians kicked out for fifty yards and Parker carried the ball back for two-t thirds of the distance. The half ended with the pigskin in the middle of the field and in possession of the redmen.
 The Indians started the second half by carrying the ball down to Arlzona's s 30-yard line and Enos essayed a drop kick, but failed to connect with the coveted space between the posts. The balance of the game was played chiefly in the Indian territory and twice the colegians reached the 1O-yard line. but 1t was thus far and no farther. The red men held like a stone wall and then punted out of danger. Robinson, who replaced Reynolds in the last half. made a sensational sprint around right end for thirty yards and followed lt up with several shorter gains, but his efforts were futile to the extent that his team never again reached a point | nearer the Indian goal, and the game | ended with the ball on the redmen's | 5O-yard line.
 The Indians played a game vastly | better than they showed Tn the last | match with the normal, and Silvas, i Smith, 7. Lugo, Enos and Woods prob- | ably made the most credftablc show ing. Five Phoenix men played with | the university team, and shared the | hOnors With Robinson and Parker. Smith and Marian did excellent work, while the playing of Christy, Russell md Gillett reflected well on the quality of foot ball men which Phoenix pro- luces. The teams wIn meet again dur ng the carnival and the university men Ire confident, with the experience gained in yesterdays battle, to wipe put yeste, days defeat. The tsams ined up in this manner:
