 The rain marred the second days shooting somewhat, but did not effect the eagle eye of H. P. De Mund, the veteran 12-guage man who won the in dividual medal for the second year. In 1913 he won it with a score of 50 straight; this shoot, he tied with Tom Edens and w. B. TWitchell. In the first shoot off Edens fell out, and Twitchell tied with 49 De Mund won by one bird in the third trial
 Chris Raithel of Deming, New Mex ico, carried off the high general aver age with a score of 562 out of 645. The next score was only three points under, showing that it was a fight all the way
 The shoot was an unqualified sue cess, principally due to the untiring ef- forts of the two good boosters, De Mund and Twitchell. Thirty four shooters took part in the various tour naments.
 The next shoot takes place in Tucson next March.

YALE DEFEATS

Princeton Makes Wonder ful Effort to Regain Lead in Last Quarter and Whis- tie Is All That Saves Eli From Losing Game.
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1sPArcHl

PRINCETON, Nov. 14.-Yale de- feated Princeton by score of 19 to IA. the first time since 1911 that a Yale Princeton game has been played to a decision.
 Princeton played wondereful 1p- hill game the last period. Despite the many subs whom Yale rushed ball down the field with irresistible force scoring two touchdowns. As the Tiger was trying for another touchdown the referees whistle end ed the game.
 Beaten back and scored upon with apparent ease. during the first three periods of play, the Tigers tore loose with a smashing attack in the final fifteen minutes of the game and fairly riddled the Ellis line Twice the Or ange and Black swept across the Blue goal line, fighting desperately for a third touchdown which would have giv- en them the victory, when the timers call ended Princeton's chances and Yale's apprehensions.
 No similar situation has ever devel- oped in an annual game between these two universities in many years. From the spectators standpoint at least, the contest with it's thrilling moments ot spectacular play and gripping uncer- tainty formed the most fitting dedi- cation for Princeton's new Palmer Me morial stadium.
 The setting for the Tigers dying rally of the season of nineteen fourteen was perfect.
 A gathering of 10000 spectators in vaded Princeton from all points of tho compass bearing flags and emblems O. the rival institutions.

HE'LL CARLSON HAD ID l BE 4 REAL DETECTIVE
Maxwell Driver Compelled to SIeuth Around and Find Stolen Magneto.
 Yet He Got in 50-MiIer

One of the main topics of gasoline talk around town since the Thursday races has been the great performance of the little Maxwell in the fifty mile free-for-all in which it took third money. Some felt that the car simply must have been a special model and many were convinced only when they inspected it at the O'Neill garage the next day that it was just the straight Maxwell '25" stripped for racing. Not only is it stock model in every par t1cular, but even the piston pins, etc, are identically the same as those in the regular cars. When one realizes that this was the same car that made such great showing in the Los Angeles Phoenix road race and in which it suffered from a collision with another car, it's showing seems still more re- markable. When Carlson abandoned the car and went into Selgman to get another axle turned out for it, he re- turned only to find the carburetor and magneto stolen. Some quick active work on the part of the sheriff result ed in catching the thieves and the re-
  covery of the stolen parts. The car was soon fixed up, brought into town, and shipped to Phoenix. It reached here just two hours before the races, was rushed to the garage and given ali the nursing possible to get it ready to race Although there had been no Opportun- ity to try out the car or give it the fin ishing adjustments it was able to rol off the fifty miles in a trifle over 5; | minutes.

PHOENIX MARE BOUGHT
 FOR THE CH|LDs STABLE

Loe Blossom is going up to the majors!
 One result of the highly successful not to say record breaking meeting of harness horse men here last week was the chance for Loe Blossom, Mrs. Schenk's fast mare to go up into big company. The deal was arranged through Frank Childs, who is variously reported to be working for Peterson of Omaha and Mooney. Which of these horsemen acquired the beautiful crea- ture was not divulged yesterday, but one thing is certain, the deal knocked out a pretty win in the 2:1S trot
 Wheat drove Blossom to victory in 2:11A, and her new owner drew her out before the end of the race to pre- vent a record.

BRAVES KINDA
 l LICKED NORMAL
Tired Pedagogues No Match for Fast Little Indian Team, Which Rushed Four Touchdowns Across Tem- pes Goal Line.

Yes, there was a football game yes- and the normal school; that is what
 they called it anyway. The Indian team played one hundred per cent as well as they did when they were de-
 feated by the Phoenix Hi Coyotes, and
 showed the Pedagogues that they still
 had lot to learn about football be-
 fore they could lie down in their train
 ing for the last two days before game with a team like the Braves. In the first quarter the Tempe boys kicked off to the Indians who advanced the ball in line rushes to the normal ten yard line where they forward passed across the line scoring the first touchdown The Braves failed to kick
 the goal. The Indians kicked and the
 normal team was forced to punt. In dans gained twenty yards on an end
 run just as the quarter ended. The second quarter was void of any excitement except when an Indian re- covered a fumbled ball and ran thirty yards through a clear field for the sec ond touchdown. The Indians kicked and normal gained a pass twenty two yards as the, half ended. Score 12-0 in Indian schools favor.
 The second half was better than the 1 first and far more interesting as the normal bunch showed that their short sleep of the night before had done them some good and they were ready to wake up. They worked one of the pret- tiest fakes that has been seen in this city for years and carried the ball
 across the line for their lone touch down. The Indian team scored twice this half due to Flores work at full back for the Braves. The game ended with the ball in the normars posses sion in the middle of the field. Indians-AtookCurow c, Jackson, lg, Paul rg, Pulla It, Quail rt Francisco le,

The board of aldermen held a special
meeting Thursday and transacted various
items of business, among which was the
adoption of an amendment to the electric
light ordinance Section five of the
ordinance provides that the city shall not
be liable for any accident or injury that
might occur from the use of the city's
electric current, and the amendment in
PRODUCED last evening provided that the
section he repealed. Superintendent Mac
Broom of the electric light department
and Mayor Burke explained that section
was one that would not stand in law,
and was not even referred to in the trial
Of the Leary case against the city as a
ground for defense. Mr. NhcBroom said
the fact that the section was in the
ordinance worked against the citys OBJ
tanning new customers, who seriously
| considered the question Of whether they
wanted to buy current from the city if
there was no chance Of recompense in
case of accident or injury.
The amendment was read first and
second time and then, on suspension Of
| the rules, was read a third time and
| adopted
A resolution was adopted to the effect
| that the city make an appropriation of
| $1,000 above the regular appropriation for
| highways so as to obtain $1,000 of the
State money.

was likely to he in the vicinity of $3.50
