ALUMNI GRID
 TEAM COMING
Has-Beens Are All Thrilled Up by Prospect of Buck ing Phoenix High Squad into Shape at October 4th Game

l For the purpose of electing a cap- tain and a manager to their newly 1 organized football team the Alumni organization of the Phonix high school will meet at the Y. M. C. A. Wednesday evening at eight o'clock. PrOf Claude D. Jones, director of high school athletics will be on hand
 to start the meeting off and to ex- plain the purpose and plans of the new team for this season All the Alumni of the high are expected to be on hand, and any of the rooters and boosters who may wish to help in the fun for the season are urged
 to be present.
 The new Alumni football team has
 been organized with two specific pur-
 poses in view The first of these is
 to give to the High team of this
 year three grueling games that will
 beat the men into condition, will
 teach them the way to play and will show them how little they know about the game and how much the ex-stars have learned since they quit
 the grid AS a secondary purpose
 the Alumni will meet the team of
 the Indian school should that or
 ganizatfOn care to come up against them.
 The roll call will include all the men of the past years whose work the public will remember as phenom-
 enal and who were the idols of the
 bleacher crowds. They will be the men of the old Foster Rockwell Coyotes Stars of 1909. Rockwell, the coach of the team at that time, and for three wears Yale star and an- American footbaIlist will in all prob ability be prevailed on again to coach
 the men whom he made into the
 best team that the valley has known during former years. With Rockwell as coach, and with the following men for him to draw from the Alumni will turn out a team that will make the high school men work all the time for a look at the score board.
 For one end the Alumni will draw Will COrpstein, known as the fast est man in the valley and holder of ten second record in the state Tucson smith, whom the fans will remember as the man who could see a football even if he couldn't see a baseball, will smash the other side at end. Tackles will be filled by MarlOr, the irresistible strong arm grappler, and Leslie Smith. also as above. Finu Hammels, and Bellis. guards of the Ancient Order of Coy otes Bestantes, will appear in the new line at the old posish. Pivoteer of the line will be HaWley, the cen ter whom fans will remember as the man who went through the invincible Prescott line at will. Victor John son, plugger official, Paul Brooks. allstar at Ramona last year, and Ernest Smith, speed artist. will com pose a trio for the half back posi- tions, fighting it out between them selves for the decision of who will play all the game and who will play half. Justus Goebel, husky, and good for sixty yards with the foot will form the pivot of the backfield while the quarter position will be held down by "Bucky" O'Neill. quarter and all around star at the University of Arizona last year
 Beside the above ''wasers" of the old line the Alumni will have as further material. to use in case of need, several has beens' as fol- lows: Alex Baker, c; Oliver Creech, qb; Arthur Luhrs, h; Sid Osborn, fb; Cliff Maddox, g; Pete Alsap, [: Celora Stoddard, c; Geo. Lutger- ding, utility man, and Sylvan Gang, financeer and coach for the has beens" These latter will not be called into the game unless there is imperative need of them, but they are all men that may be relied on for lots of wind and pep in case they are needed; they have been keeping in form for some time past in this part of the game, but since they are all men of '04 or better they will find it hard to confine themselves to wind and pep only. The old game called for more. No?
 The first of the series of three games will be played at either Grant or at Eastlake park, to be decided later, on Saturday, October 4th., The other two will come later in the sea- son, in all probability after the games of Fair week
 Tentative Manager Julian Gang Of the Alumn says, We have the weight. the speed and the team watch us clean them up" To which Gearv coach of the H. $. Coyotes for this fall replies, Bring on your weight and your speed. The bigger they are the harder they fall. And the more they clean up"
 Much spirit is already being shown and the public will see three of the best games of the season when the wa sers" and the 'isers" meet to de- eide who's 'er.'
