 BEAT B|SBEE

Will De prayed this LIOILluS OH tIt state fair grid at the usual hour of 10:00 o'clock when the Phoenix high will meet the Tucson high. It will be l a contest between old rivals and enc mics, the Coyotes and Badgers. These teams already have met on tke grid once this season. That was little over a week past and at that tune the Coyotes brought the bacon back to their camp to the joyful tune of 13 to o. It was a hard fought game in which both teams showed some class but in which the Coyotes showed to the better advantage. On the Tucson field the Phoenix men were handicapped, as will be the Badgers when the meet the Coyote l 9 aggregation here today.
 It is reported that the Coyotes will have a bigger handicap this game tran they had before, since the tales floating fin from the southern camp state that the Badgers have lost four of their best men who have flunked cut in their studies. Whether these ords come here as the usual bear story which foretells the condition of the teams before every contest, whether they are the salve intended to raise the confidence of the locals to the above Fahrenheit point, or whether it is the hOnest-to- goodness hard-luck reported has not been Veri- fled.
 The Coyotes however are far from the over confident bunch that Tucson might hope to see. They have work ed hard all this week and they are ready for the fray with as strong a team met the Badgers the time previous.
 Yesterdays Game
 The last five minutes decided it- Prescott, t; Bisbee, l.
 The best game of the year was played between the teams of the Prescott high and the Bisbee high at the fair grid yesterday morning as the first of the official games in the state high school tournament. It was the fastest that has this year been played on these lots, there was evidenced more head work and more speed, and the whole was m ex- celIent exhibition of field generalship and steady even playing.
 With the opening of the game it looked all Prescott. Time after time the mOuntaineers shot around the ends of the miners or through their line. The ball went fast to the ten yard line, where the miners came to themselves and finally stopped the Hodags on their one foot line. Here the Bisbeeites kicked out to the Pres colt players who again advanced the ball to the line and were repulsed and held for downs. The taking of the ball to the line the second time was the climax of the Prescott pretty work. It was the best of the open field playing of the day. when the little Chinese on end for the noun taineers took a forward pass out of the air and advanced it thirty yards. But the line held and Prescott was unable to drive the ball over. The end of the first quarter came with the ball in the possession of the Bis beeites on their own eight yard line. The quarter was all Prescott from the first whistle to the last down, and the ball was never one time in the territory of the miners from the south.
 The second session opened with the mOuntaineers the favorites The ball
 n the possession of Bisbee was kick ed out to the Hodags who advanced 1t up the field in fast order. But three minutes before the end of the half the miners came back strong. By q series of line plunges and bucks they took the ball straight from their own ten yard line to the fifty yard line and from there they drove their way, tVO downs to their yards. by short off end plays and cross bucks to the twenty yard line. There the ball died and the quarter ended with the ball in the possession of the min CTS on the Prescott twenty yard line.
 Bisbee came back to the goal In the third quarter and for time after the opening it appeared as if the miners would walk through the Pres colt team to the goal as often as they wished. They took to bucking off tackle and guard, and by a con tinuation of these tactics and by drill ling the same hole consistently, they took the ball up the field to the Prescott five yard line. Here the mountaineers rallied and held the miners for their downs, the ball dy- ing on the Prescott two yard line Prescott kicked out and from then on the Prescott goal was never in danger of an assault though the ball passed tc the mountain territory several times. The quarter ended with the ball in the Prescott territory Bisbee holding it.
 The last half was a see-saw for both teams for the first ten minutes play. Bisbee line plunges were work ing as well as ever, but the rallies of the Prescott men forcing them to kick occasionally kept them from get ting too near the goal. Then at the end of ten minutes with but a short time to play Prescott received a punt in the middle of the lot and Levy quarterback, came up to the thirty before he was downed Here he showed the first and the really only brilliant head work of the day and by consistent and heady playing he pushed his downs through the line to the Bisbee five yard line.
