PAIR OF WELL OILED FOOTBALL MACHINES;
 COYOTES AND BRAVES CLASH THIS AFTERNOON

much bluff. but it is certain he has worked up some sort of an open play surprise for the High school Geary is watching the Indian progress like a cat watches a mouse, and every thing he sees makes lessons for the future conduct of the wold wolves.
 We allowed that there was not a simmer of q star on either team. That's true, but there is a strong steady glow. It emanates from the high schools right half region, which is regularly inhabited by a bull neck ed youngster named Peter Peter is back in the game after being out with a game-leg. He was quite bad ly injured in the last Prescott game, and has not been with the team much since. But good masseur and some rest have worked wonders, and
 the valuable hunk of bone, muscle and sinew is again working for the
 high school. Peter is the only man on the two teams who can properly
 be called of celestial caliber. And
 if he's not a star, he's at least one
 of these here nebulae.
 The closest approach to stardom on
 the Indian team is Whitman. the
 right half. Big, courageous, steady V,
 this splendid player is a fortress on
 the defense and a whole army when
 he has the ball. It is confidently
 stated that Whit will do the majority
 of the Braves carrying this after
 noon, and it is further stated that
 Venne couldn't get a better lad to
 run the errands
 Frank Butler. the young kid broth
 CT of Clarence, is going to be the
 Redskins sachem in this afternoons
 game. Although Butler has indulged
 in but one formal game, he is al- ready showing the self reliant quail ties that have made his brother one of the fastest athletes in Arizona.
 There is but one point of weakness, and that is the young Indians nod dIe, and Venne thinks he is all right there, too. He certainly showed up
 well in the game against the second varsity, and he ran the team like veteran. It will take a lot of spill ing to agitate the skipper of the aboriginal bark.
 "Be Sure We're to Win" Coach Geary strolled into the cigar stand and bought pack of Fatimas. He selected one of the tubes. lit it and took four long drags. then he said: Say anything you like about my team, put uoIl forget 10 put III tkat it's going to win. It is going
 to be the hardest game this year, ! but it is the last game many of the Coyotes will get to play, and they are sure going in to make the In
 dians hump
 Geary never was spreader of the bull con- Rather on the order of old pal over to New York, he yields the bull whip And that's what has made this Phoenix High gang a team I remember the first game of i the season. when the Alumni romped all over the Coyotes and licked them thoroughly At every added score, Geary would jump up and down on the side lines and holler "Oh, why do you let 'em through? You BONEHEADS," and would then turn aside to me and say, Good enough i for 'em. Lick some of the grand stand cut of them. Fine, Fine!" I bet you Geary has made life mis- erable for lot of those kids. He { possesses their nanny. He has turn ed out the only football team the high i ever had. Been lots of good players. but never machine. His hand is
 on the throttle and he controls the game just as surely as James does 1 his boss limousine. There was a
 certain kid named Speck Betts. who 1 pulled a helpless cheeild stunt or | two in the Alumni game. Geary
 parked at him:
 | "C'mon outa there, you boneheadt ] You let those last two tOuchdowns | through" And as Speck retired to the bench, he fairly oozed misery. ! His face was mostly mud, but the | expression of blasted hope and a life witnered with despair was shining
 through like his luminous hair shone l through the cracks in his head har-
 ness.
 Venne Quietly Confident Peter Venne of the Indian school
 is quietly confident of victory. He l has not told all he knows, nor has l he cOnfided as much as he might to | the writer. But we have something ! in our head beside a cold these days, | and our eyes have seen the strength | of the Indian team being gradually | worked up to it's best pitch. The | Braves will be like a well tuned mo- | tor when they go in this afternoon, 1 and as was stated before, with the | one possible weakness bolstered up l the Redskins will be mighty near in i vipcibIe
