|D|G DOWN AND
 GIVE THE BOYS EXPENSE: CASH
Bisbee Crack Basket Ball Team Needs Money to Get to EI PaSo, and Deserves Local Backing.

Members of Bisbee's high school basket ball squad want very much to go to Fl Psso to participate in the tournament to be held there. com mencing next Thursday. between the teams from old Mexico. Texas and New Mexico. as Arizonas only repie- sentative aggregation.
 But when it comes to figuring out ways and means they're a s111 deal like the tramp who asked what kind of a meal he could get for two Lits. md when tod. turned around and ask ed the same party for the necessary two bits. In other words it takes money to buy-well soda water and it takes a roll Of the long green 5o go to Fl Paso.
 After talking it over with Pro-. PhilbrCOk end members of the fac ulty. the boys decided to organize 9 boosting committee in an eUdeaycr to raise the necessary amount bv Doo- ular sullscription. The boys ath- letic treasury is absolutely broke. so they're going to .ca'l upon the public spirited men Of the town to help them out by chipping in a dolla- or two apiece. If everyone does this. there will be no trouble about raising the price.
 Fl Paso agrees to take care of the
 boys while there. paying board and incidentals. If Fl Paso is willing 10 do that. Bisbee ought some way. to do the rest; namely. raise the amount l necessary for transportation both
 ways. This will take over a hundred dollars. however.
 Secretary Reynolds of the Board i of Trade has been appointed by the team and high school faculty mem 2 bers as the outside booster for the |, propos ton, and has promised to do
 what he can to help them out. The list was made up yesterday and will be put in circulation this afternoon. | Several dollars were contributed 10 the fund even before it was finished. In sending the basket ball team to Fl Paso. Bisbee will not only be ad- vertised about TexHs and New Mexi- co as the only town iii Arizona being [ represented. but the winning combina- | ton Of players which the nigh school
 has stands as good. if not better, show than the competitors for bring ing the championship of the South
 west. in the shape of a handsome i trophy back home with them. The players have performed exceptionally l weil this season. Although playing only two games. these have been
 against the hardest team in the terri l tory. and even though they lost the ! last game by margin of two points.
 and in overtime at that, the deleat Is not worth considering II was just { q little uneven break in luck. not
 superior playing by the opponents. and the fact that the Tucson referee called more fouls than he was entitled | to, thereby giving his team the ad-
 vantage in the number of foul bas-
 kets, that spelled defeat. The supe- rior play Of the home team can be proven by the fact that they, earlier ! in the season. beat Tucson cn their
 home lot by the same margin Of points
 as they lost here. only they didn't
 have to go into overtime to do it It's up to the people of Bisbee~to
 dig down and help the boys out on this | proposition. Roy and Sam Benton, Clarence Ligon and Walter O'Malley
 are the members of the student com
 mitteo who have the coin-raising stunt { Tn charge.
