President Doran presented two
bills. Que of them is designed to
prevent the dissolution of cor
porations under the laws of the
territory while there is litigation
against them pending or while
there are unpaid claims against
them.
The other bills look to the pre-
vention of mining frauds by
means of false representations of
the value of properties and con
ditions. 1t also provides that
rs per cent. of the proceeds of
treasury stock of mining COM
panies shall be used in develop
ment.
Grossetta introduced two bills.
One of them is the appropriation
for the salary of Judge Campbell
of the district court of that dist
riot from March 8, 1905, to June
of the same year. This is for the
purpose of correcting an earlier
act in which hiatus was left of
three months in the salary of the
judge.
Another bib amends the law
against cruelty to animals, max
ing the ofense a misdemeanor
instead of a felony, the idea be-
ing to make law possible of in
forcemerlt.
Bell introduced a memorial,
which, after reciting the equality
to, if not the superiority of Ari-
zonans of Porto Ricans, prays
congress for self government for
this territory; that it shall be
permitted to elect all of its offic-
ers and judges except the chief
Justice, and for the segregation
of the courts so that the terri
torial judges shall have jurisdic-
ton in territorial cases.

time this year. by the Villa Nova eleven, and
scored on not by a fuke but by straight football
The final score was Princeton, 45; Villa Nova, s.
Villa Nova's score came at the beginning Of the
second half, when Princeton had many substi
tutes in the lineup. For the first few minutes
the visitors swept the Tigers off their feet. Sc
curing the ball on punt their own 35-yard
line, they carried it over the line in four plays.
Three cleverly executed forward passes nettcd
sixty yards, and Barr made the remaining If
teen yards a fake kick He fumbled the ball
back of the line, but Russell fell on it for
touchdown. After this the Princeton eleven got
together and scored three touChdowns without
much trouble.
In the first half Princeton outcassed Villa
Nova and. with the exception of the first few
minutes, played excellent football both on the
offensive and defensive. In the first five plays
of the game the ball changed hands four times
on fumbles. After that the Tigers took brace,
scoring four touchdowns and goal from place
ment. Harlan kicked the field goal from the
S0-yard line, after Dillon had made fair catch.
Read work was the feature of the first half.
He made two dashing end runs of forty and
twenty-five yards for touchdowns, and several
smaller gains. Mccormick and Harlan also
gained ground consistently.
In the first half Princeton used the forward
pass with telling effect. or four attempts three
resulted in gains OF sixty twenty-five and twen-
ty yards respectively. the first for a touchdown.
In the second half this play was dismal failure
1t was tried three times to avail Twice
the ball went To Villa Nova. The visitors tried
the pass nine times Four times it netted gains
averaging twenty yards; four times Princeton
secured the ball and once Villa Nova received
