Bio Battle in Poland

LONDON. Oct. 27.-A very serious battle is proceeding in Southern Po- iand and in Gaicia, without decisive result. The Russians however. crossed the Vistula north of Ivangorod with fresh army corps, which should have marked effect on the fortunes of the battle. They appear from their own account to be breaking down the re- sistance of the Austrans south of Przemysl and throughout Galicia where fighting of the most stubborn charac- ter has been going on for weeks. Ger man mine layers have again been busy and have succeeded in mining the wa ters north of Ireland, the first victim of which has been the steamer Man chester Commerce

We Should Become Wor- ried," Say High School Team When Told Tucson High Has Tied Arizona Varsity Team

Tucson Highs football team will ernoon at Riverside park. Word was received by the president of the P. H. $. Athletic association that the Tucson boys would leave there on Friday evening, arriving here early Saturday morning.
 For the first time this season the people of Phoenix will be treated to d real football game with an outside team. The Badgers are the Coyotes most dangerous rivals, and well may the boys from the white buildings fear them. The Tucson team is far stronger than any that has played the local high school this season and Is equal to the Coyotes in speed, weight, and head work.
 This is not the Badgers first game this year by any means; they played Bisbee High and defeated them, 36 0; they have also played three games with the U. of A., tying one game and losing the other two by very small scores. The University is by lar the strongest football team in the state and any high school that could stand against them and do as well as the Tucson High must be some team. It is no wonder that the Coyotes expect a stiff game.
 Manager McGinnis of the Coyotes said yesterday: "I am not afraid of haVlng an easy game when we play the Tucson team; in fact I am afraid that we will have to fight as We have not had to do in the last four years, and we have had some mighty tough games tool"

So when Harry warmed the Stutz up, he did it in no undecided manner When l srasped the wheel "she" was het to just the right temperature. We stopped at a certain place where Phoenix bulges into Maricopa county, snd waited until Officer Behr caught up, and talked the car over with him.

Oeschner arrived from Fl Paso yesterday in company with Chair man Tommy Tompkins of the local race committee, who was returning on his Merkel from Douglas, where he To- cated the first night control. Joe OConnell, another members of the committee periodically accompanied Thompkins, on an eleventh hour pro position, making the trip on his EX- celsior in his street clothes.
 The announcement of partial entry list for the Fl PasO race brings out an odd coincidence in the Heating tribe. Paul Heating, winner of the 1912 loop race at Prescott and the track races here September 12, 1913 and now To- cated in Hayden is NOT the Paul Keat- ing who will ride Thor in the Fl Paso race. Neither are these two Paul Readings the only Paul Readings in the southwest. Florence has a Paul Keat- ing and Fl Paso has two, the fourth of the name being a plumber there.
 Entries are announced as follows:

Coyotes Meet The
 Badgers Saturday

Geary has been driving his men to the utmost and it is some sight to stop down there at the corner of Sixth and Washington streets and see that perfect Coyote machine scrimmaging against the scrubs. Brooks, the captain, has been called the best all around prep. school foot ball player west of the Mississippi by George Fox of The Republican, quar- terback for Carlisle three years ago.
 MT. Fox saw the CoyOte-Indian game two weeks ago and was much pleased
 with Brooks work. He is a whirl-
 wind, sure tackler, and a clean
 player, and the Coyotes are proud Of him.
 The interest in the game is at the high tide point and it is rumored ing more than twice before they place their money; even Bill Horrel, who is an authority on football as well as tennis, cannot even make a guess at the outcome. But the local boys are favorites, the crowds on the side lines all want their home team to win.
 The lineup for the high school will probably be the same as in tha Tempe Phoenix game last Saturday All the players have improved and there is a race going on between Galpin and Evans for the position of quarter.
 The publicity manager, Harold Goldberg. has been working hard iii advertising these games and met
 with very favorable results, but tC
 have one of the largest crowds oi i the season out on Saturday is his hope.
 i On Friday afternoon, November 1 6, the Coyotes will meet the Tempe Normal at Riverside park. The game
 is put on Friday so as to give the
 people who can't get away on Satur- day a chance to see one of the games before Thanksgiving day.

 CARS CHECK IN AND OUT
Fixit Miller Arrives in Insect-Liks Ford-GIen Thomas Pulls Out in Monster OIdsmobie

''F'ixit" Miller of Douglas, driving the littlest cara tiny spidery Ford checked in from Fl Paso at The Re- publican office, and Dale and Glen Thomas in their Oldsmobile-the big gest car in the race, checked out to- ward Fl Paso at The Republican office, both on the same day-Which was yes terday. The difference in weight be- tween the two cars has been figured at approximately $500 pounds, over a ton and a half
 Miller is the man who won the Douglas Lowell road race on his Hen derson motorcycle. He has earned the title of the Rough Road champion, and according to his description of the Fl Paso course, he will certainly have to live up to the same.
 The Miller Ford is so completely stripped that the only thing remaining on it beside the actual necessaries is the paint-and a good piece of sand paper will get rid of that. There is no hood, no dash, no floor. The drivers sit right back of the little engine. The hood, dash and floor will have to be put back on before the race as they are required in the A. A. A. rules.
 Thunderation!
 It is doubtful if the streets of Phoe- nix have ever echoed such an enthusi- astic row as that produced by the short pipes of the Thomas brothers Oldsmo- bile. The machine is so big and it makes so much noise that it seems like locomotive and a battery of siege guns rolled into one.
 Thomas drove away from The Re- publican at exactly 7:10 last evening.
