Eleven TO Win Gridiron
Championship
RIVALS HAVE RECORD

By reason Of the victorious march
OF the Tucson High school football
team through the northern part OF
the state, the state High school foot
ball championship is narrowed down
TO Bisbee and Tucson. Douglas, he
cause of its defeat by the local team
last Saturday is relegated to the wool
bine country, leaving Bisbee the sole
contender from this part Of the new
state.
Tucson has all the best OF ii when
il comes 10 practice, the stun chat
makes perfect. The Old Pueblo team
has met the Phoenix High school team
twice and put the Indian sign on them
both times. II has also defeated the
Indians and the University Of Arizona
second team.
Risbee Not Boosting
Bisbee, on the other hand has only
played one game. that Of last Satur-
day. While the Bisbee players IAN
away with that game they are nos
bOasting of the victory. The stamina
Of the mOuntainers must make up Tor
the lack of experience for the local
team. It has won games for them De-
fore and it may do it again. Here IS
what TucsOn's record looks like:
Tucson High Il, Phoenix High o.
Tucson High Z, Phoenix Indians o.

Tucson is Also In Lead
Tucson has also defeated the PhJe-
nix High in a second game The Old
Pueblo lineup will be practically the
same as last year, so each one of lie
players is seasoned veteran. Mey-
eTs, at full back and Peterson, play
ing an end position, are stars and ne
tween them they have some pretty
forward passes to their credit. The
team uses the Michigan style OF play
consisting Of trick plays, delayed pas
ses and forward passes. II is said
that they will considerably outweigh
the Bisbec team. the average for the
team being AS pounds.
No one OF the Bisbee team regards
the game last Saturday with Douglas
as a test and practice this week is
going ahead with more vim and az
thusiasm than before the Douglas
game. There are a number of new
men on the local team and they de
serve credit for the determination
they exhibit. The team as a machine
is somewhat slow and lack of hard
tackliug and aggTessiyeness has char
aCteTiZed their playing so far.
Champion May Play
II will be good news 10 the sup
pOrters OF the locals team. to know
that F. Champion, who starred in al
end role last year, may be back IN
the game for the Tucson encounter.
He has been suffering from a sprain-
ed ankle, which placed him temper
arily on the retired list. He is one Of
the swiftest ends in the southwest.
Another factor that has tended to
, weaken the locals is strict adherence
to the eligibility rules. This is no
handicap. however and the Tucson
