GALBRAITH MAKES
NOISE LIKE IT
WAS EASY
Fails to State on Return to
Tucson That New Mexico
Boys Had ArizonanS on Rack
in Second Half

coach Galbraith, OF he footbou
team OF the University OF ARIZONA. in
mn interview published in the Tucson
star ON the return of the team to that
cty after the Thanksgiving game here,
gives the impression that the victory
of TIM Arizonans was a WalkoVer In
giving an accurate report, Mr.. Cab
braith might have stated that the To-
cal varsity boys had his team ON the
rack all during tho second half. ana
was pushing 1t steadily back to a
touchdown. which would have tied the
score. had there been ten more MIN
utes of play. The Star says:
The battle-scarrod athletes Of the
University of Arizona, with eolors
FLYING. returned to the city last night
"A. $50. They were met at the depot
bv a number OF tho student body with
loud yens, college songs and the toot-
ing or horns and blowing of bugles,
ana were carried to a waiting electric
ear which took them to the univcr-
sity. where they We're again checred
by the whole student body.
Blade was the only one that showed
the banging up tina knights Of the
football field must sometimes suffer
i'm order that victory may DE gained.
His shoulder was badly Wreuched and
his left leg injured. but he was able
to walk when his fellow students per
mitted him to do 50.
The last one to leave the train was
Galbraith, the coach, and to him much
honor is due. 1t was The lAnky Penn
sylyauian who, a feW weeks ago. took
n bunch OF raw recruits. whipped
them. pulled them. couNod them and
pettcd them. until he had made an
eleven that could battle vita any
team in the southwest, and lac shared
the honors with his protegcs.
When interviewed by a reporter for
the star ut the depot and asked how
the Arizona boys did it. he simply
said: 'Wc had the better team. our
defense was marvellous and they could
not at any time apprcciably gain upon
us, for our ends were down on them
like lightning, and at no time were
we in danger OF losing the game.
once, ON a blocked kick they got the
BAN and pressed over our line for a
score, but We had them guessing all
through the remainder OF the game,
which was one of the best ever seen in
the whole southwest.
we secured two touchdoWns, one
by Rice ON a quick Kick, which was
recovered and carried over. The 9th
er was bucked from the Twenty-Five
yard line by Robertson, Blades and
Burnham, Robertson going over for
the touchdown through New McXico's
right tackle"
IN regard to their reception at the
Duke City, Galbraith said you can
imagine how royalty the University of
New Mexico treated us when I tell
You that / ate so much turkey and
other good things Thanksgiving day
that | have not eaten anything since.
Next Thanksgiving the New Mex
leo boys will be out here ana the
T%ucsonans viii have an opportunity
to show them the kind Of hospitality
of which we boast
The first annual football match be-

able victory. and will serve MS an in
ccntivc to the future men who repre-
sent the University of Arizona upon
the gridiron.
The victory was remarkable because
the Arizona team went right into the
onemy's camp ana ran them off their
feet before a crowd of 1,S00 wild and
cheering spectators, and never for a
momen did interest in the match FLAG,
never did the Arizonans let UP nor the
New M|exicans lose hope until the ref
