games ever played oh a Phoenix grid iron, the Higa School yesterday after noon defeated the Normal school by a score of to o. The game was marked 1 throughout by an absence of spectacu- , lar long runs, every gain being made by hard, consistent playing. On the
 part of the High School there was
 some fumbling that was disastrous , and two fumbles close together proba-
 bly cost that team a touchdown. The
 field was in better condition than ever before, the rain of Friday night soft
 eninS It up inst enough to make fast playing possible. There was not a sin gle man seriously hurt, and all chang es made were simply for the purpose of giving new players an opportunity
 to take part, for every man played d good game. There was total absence of "dirty" work on either side, and ! the officials gave entire satisfaction I The attendance was scarcely what ;t
 should nave been, considering the mxI it of the game, but the spectators were wildly enthusiastic at all times.
 The game was called a little after 3 { o'clock. The High School won the toss 1 and gave the Normal the kickoff i taking the west end Of the field. The i Normal kicked off thirty-five yards and the ball was run back ten. Goebel made four through center, but no gain on the next play. Irvine added three around left end. A Normal man took time out, but continued with toe game. ! Irvine agaIn made one yard, but Stod-
 dard was slow in passing and the next play was for a loss. Irvine bu2)led line ] fer one yard, Goebel did lixewtse and . the next play lost the ball for the : High School on downs. Dykes, iOr the ! Normal. made two yards on left end. ! Wilson made distance around light 1 end. Dykes followed for two trough 1 tackle. He duplicated the play and i Rlount hit the center for two yards. ! Wilson went round the right end for q | couple of yards and followed the play l by another for five. Dykes made four around left end. but was neatly stop [ ped by McCarty, and the next play made no gain. With the third down and yard to gain. he made another
 attempt and was successful. Wilson 1 tried left end for a loss and IIigley. ca q quarterback run, lost eight 1 yards, being tackled that far back of the line by Mccarthy. Miller step
 ped back for 9 try at goal on a drop 1 kick. but the kick was blocked and Mccarthy got the ball for the High 1 Schools.
 Goebel hit the left end for a little
 gain and Irvine tried the left side for
 a couple of yards. Stoddard fumbled
 and Higley got the ball for the Nor
 mai. Their first play was held, but | Wilson got two yards on the second
 and left end play made good. Blount
 made first down on a tackle play and
 duplicated the performance. Wilson and Dykes alteTnated in a few end 1 plays, and brought the ball to the High
 Schools ten yard llne. With a minute
 to play, Wilson and Blount carried
 it seven yards nearer and the half was called with the ball within three yards of a touchdown, the nearest the Nor
 nal came during the game to scoring. If the half had been thirty seconds longer, it is altogether likely that they | would have scored. As it was, the half | was played entirely within the High
 Schools territory, and the ball was in the NOrmaTs possession the greater part of the time.
 THE SECOND HALF.
 Both teams appeared fresh after the intermission and the Normal replaced Murphy with Stewart. The High
 School made no change in their line
 up. The High School kicked off, Goe- bel to Higley, who ran it back ten
 yards. Wilson and Dykes between \ them made distance twice and Stewart
 fumbled, the ball rolling back about ten yards. Higley managed to secure it and almost made up the lost dis tance. The Normal was forced to kick
 Wilson twenty-five yards to Baum ,t-bo ha clr he right end for two yards, and Goebel l hut the guard for three. Miller of the Normal was replaced by Cosner. Baum l made seventeen yards left end the 1 longest run of the game. Goebel fum- 1 bled and the Normal got the ball ! thanks to Corbell. Dykes hit the cen-
 ten for a gain, but took cut time te recover. Higley on a quarterback play
 made first down, but here the High School held again and the Normal lost the ball on downs. Baum for the High
 School made a long run, but only net
 ted six yards. Irvine fumbled and Stewart nailed the pigskin for the 1 Normal. Wilson made two, Dykes two . and Wilson less than one, losing the l ball to the High School on downs Goebel hit the center for three and Irvine made first down, bringing the : ball near the Normals line, and it 1 looked bad for them. Baum made tive 1, yards through the line and it looked still worse. Within two yards of the
 line, Goebel lost the ball on a bad tumble and the Normal was gwen ! another lease of life Right there was waere they made the mistake of the
 game, for after making but three yards and a half on two downs, they tried
 another play instead of kicking out of danger, and lost the ball on downs There was but five minutes to plan in .i and had the Normal kicked, the game I would undoubtedly have been tie Il With the ball in the possession of the II High School and within about sever
