VICTORY FOR INDIANS
Red Men Teach University
 Some Football Points
In a Rather Easy Game the Local Team Defeats the Eleven From Tucson by Score of II to o Yes terday.

If in the minds of football enthus-
 iasts there remained any doubt that
 the Phoenix Indian school was pos
 sessed of ability to wipe up portion
 of the earth with the University of
 Arizona, that feeling was removed yes terday.
 By dint of two touch downs and one goal, the red-men defeated the team
 from the ancient pueblo. at Phoenix
 park. and ran up score of II points. while something over 1000 spectators, quite unenthusiastically looked on the 'varsity's vain efforts to get closer than twenty yards of their opponents goal.
 The game was not a clever eXhibi- tion of football. in fact at times, was heavily marked by very ragged work on the part of both teams: due prob ably to a lack of good organization
 on the part of the white men. and to
 careless playing begotton of oVer-con- fidence of the native Americans. The university eleven. in it's yester- days play. falls far below it's standard of last year. and to almost q total absence of interference and an appar- l ent lack of training. is blamaoie for ! yesterdays poor showing. To some ex- | tent these defects were remedied by
 meteoric flashes of individual playing, | | Bert Smith. Christy, C. Marian. Staff | ford and a few others made up for several poor exhibitions of bad foot | ball
 The Indian team showed improve | ment of last seasons form and might ! easily have run up a larger score, had ! they labored a bit during the first half
 of the game.
 As usual Mariana Silvas was the [ al. 1rrf | Patricio Lugo's brilliant work was al
 most up to that of the teams captain. ! The terrific manner in which the stocky little left half-back tore over ! and under the varsity line. and wig gled and rolled around right end, earn | ing and making both touch downs for l his team, drew out about the only ap- plause which the grand stand could 1 offer Silvas tackled and carried the ! ball. as only Silvas can. and all through 1 played such football. as would assure | him a place on any eastern tenn. Lit i tie Calina Smith. at quarter. handled | and ran his men well and to his able | interference and that or Appapas are | to be credited the long gains by the ! backs.
 l The interesting part of the entire game lay in the second half of it. The i first half was largely devoted to such | of grammar school lads. consisting l largely of an elongated series of funb- | bles. which kept the ball well in cir | culation but accomplished little in the | line of scores.
 The Indians kicked off the varsity | carried the ball to the 4)-yard line of | the red-Inen. Here Gillett fumbled : and a red-skin fell on the pigskin. ] In an exchange of punts. Silvas had all ! ability to hold on to the ball kept the | Indians from between the goal posts. 1 The larger part of the half was played l in the 'varsity's territory. and in the l line smashing of the Indians.

 At the kickoff the Phoenix team be-

 in five minutes had the ball on Ari-
 zona's 15-yard goal line. where the
 varsity braced and held the Indians
 for the ball. Cosgrove punted out and
 Silvas planted the ball on the white
 men's 5-yard mark. P. Lugo here made
