lected are representative of Arizona's
citizenship and whatever they may do
as a team in the meet, as a body and
individually they will be certain TO give
by their gentlemanly and strictly mil
itary conduct a most favorable impress
sion of the character of our population
which will be in one way as much d
matter OF moment as the winning of
the highest trophy itself. The selection
of the men has been made with this
in view for Arizona and Arizonians are
somewhat misreDresented to the east
eTner, some OF whom know little of
what kind of people live here except as
CLEANED from novels and short stories
filled with accounts of perverted and
never -heard-of characters.
