New Mexico All Star Football
Team for Season Just Closed

Allen is a wonder at carrying the BAH,
When he gets the pigskin It is going
to be carried in the direction of the
enemy's goal, or Allen is going to
know the reason why. Several times
during the past season Allen displayed
his lightning like sprinting work,
much to the misfortune of opposing
~eleVens.
Close upon the heels Of Allen. how
ever. is another ten-second man in
the person Of Higgins, a cadet,
who played end for that team during
the season. Redding, of the \. 4 NJ,
eleven compares quite faNorably with
Higgins, but Higgins is much faster
than the big Farmer and gets away
With things in good shape, Redding
was not in the game this year until
late in the season and did not shine
as he did in former years. Both
Higgins and Redding are good punt

throughout the season. being Knocked

he started. \ clean and nervy player,
Hall would undoubtedly have distin-
guished himself had opportunity pre-
scented. CarrutheIs is a classy player

Otho C. Odell, a former resident or Tempe. but who for the past two years has been in the balloon business, and has been travelling all over the west, returned to Tempe Wednesday after noon to spend few weeks here with his father and other relatives.
 Since filling his engagement at the territorial fair. he has been in Pres colt This is the off season in balloon work and there is little doing in that line at present. The balloon and his other apparatus are now stored in Phoenix Early in the spring MT. OdelI will go to Texas. where his sea sons work opens. and during the rest of the summer win travel from place to place givin prohibitions. He ex- poets to take a run into Los Angeles during aviation week. commencing January 10th. and may decide to enter a contest there. X prize of a thousand dollars has been offered for the man who can keep himself and hot air balloon in the air. the longest time. This is exactly Odelrs line of work and he has been up as long as forty minutes or better at a time. Whether or not he will enter this contest. he has not decided. The prize is a rather tempting one. but there is fifty dol lar entrance fee and the cost of trans porting the equipment to the coast would put venture up above couple of hundred dollars. Ii is question with Mir. OdeIl whether or not the chances warrant the trip. There will be some of the best balloonists in the United States to compete with and there is a great deal of luck to be taken into consideration in a test of that kind. Whether he enters the contest or not. however. he will be present to wit ness the events of the week. ..
