The season opened on Sunday last. with a game between two selected teams, Whites vs. Stripes. The en- thusiasm of a good crowd of fans au- gurs well for the success of the game. The weather was rather too fine for football. and criticism of the game would be invidious, the players be- ing obviously out of condition. aud many cut oI position. which defects will be remedied with training and practise.
 The game ended in favor of the Whites by two goals to one, scored by the Stripes. the scorers being El- don and Sanderson for the Whites and Mahfey for the Stripes.

 ROOSEVELT RESERVOIR

The reservoir of the Roosevelt dam, located near Phoenix, is destined to be the sportsman's paradise of Ari- zona, according to Rev. E. G. Deck CT, who recently returned from a va cation spent at Phoenix with rela- lives. The native fish in the Salt River have been augmented by stock ing the reservoir with other kinds and already the reservoir or lake Is the favorite haunt of anglers in that part of the territory.
 The lake is also attracting large numbers of ducks, which afford fine hunting The Salt River valley has always been a good game country but the making of the immense lake has attracted more aquatic game 1tan is to be found anywhere else in the ter ritory.
 The Roosevelt dam is becoming quite a resort and number of motor boats ply the length of the lake, which will be something like 22 miles when it is filled. and several miles in breadth. Mir. Decker had the pleas. ure of riding a distance Of seven miles on the bosom of the lake in motor boat and catching a string of perch enough for a breakfast for seven.

 The first game of a series that will be played between the two high schools, October 2S, will be at Doug las. A game will also be plsyed on Thanksgiving Day and this will come to Bisbee, and win be the star event of the football season in Bisbee. 4 third game will also be pla rsd but the time and place has not been de cided.
 The Bisbee High School team IS practicing steadily and strenuously every afternoon on the Central school campus, under Coach Fat Henry, him- self an old star at the game and he is doing wonders with the material he has. The niceties of catching anC bunting have been acquired and now the team is going after team work The candidates for the eleven are go ing in for practice with the right kind of spirit and the lack of weight, first accounted as a heavy handicap, may not initiate so strongly against the team after all

BRITISH BUDGET

LONDON, october 2--An expedi- ton has set out from Oxford univer- s.ty with its objective a eannpal isle in the South Seas. where it expects 10 spend year in studying the habits of the natives.
 The party of scientists is headed by David Jenness, the anthropological expert Of BalIioi College. The explor- CTS will locate on Goodenough ls- land. which is situated in the extreme southeasterly corner of British New Guinea. Little is known of the inte' rior of this island, but it has been as. serted that eannibalism is pracueed there on an extensive scale,
 Occasionally a government official pays visit to the isle. but, being un- willing to provide the natives with a banquet, wisely confines his investi- cations to the coast line. For this reason the interior remains unexplor- ed. One or two attempts have been made to map the inland. but the ex- D 'orers have never returned.
 Goodenough island. which is of vol canic formation, is believed to be the highest island of its size in the world. It is forty mile long. and thirty miles across. and it's highest mountain eX- tends S,00O feet above sea level.
