California Public Utilities AmenabIe to
 Sweeping Decision
tRepublloan A. p. Leased wirel

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal- Nov. 22.- Customers of California public utilities will soon receive the benefit of a re- cent decision of the state railroad com mission which made its reappearance today as a revised order to go into eff feet on December l.
 The order returns to patrons in ef- feet. the deposits made for service with water, gas, electric and telephone cor pora tions. In addition to abolishing to a great extent the deposit system, the order compels the utilities to make reasonable extensions, and takes to the state the power to fix statewide rules and regulations, heretofore set by the companies.
 The commissions ruling, which will return to consumers approximately S1, ,000.00 was based upon ten months of inquiry into the facts of more than 600 companies.

This is a day of thanking. pre- ceding a day of thanksgiving.
 We thank you, our father thanks you. our whole family thanks you half to death. But there is one short, energetic chap whose thanks are more than sincere-they come direct from the heart Dick Hollingsworth the official nuisance, are his name and title.
 The reason for Dicks gratitude is that it's object saved some lives. entrusted to the officials of the au- tomobile race Saturday, Leon $. Ja- cobs, assistant starter is the recip- tent of the gratitude It was due to the cool head of the well known young attorney, that there was no crash, when Smiths Fiat failed to start. for there was a second rank of cars pulling up to take the place of the first. Jacobs leaped in front of the moving racers, and. hidden in the smoke. halted the procession in time to prevent an accident.
 Hollingsworth leaves this morn ing. after having spent one <of the most strenuous weeks of his career here. He takes with him the grat- itude of the fair commission, and it's invitation to make himself useful in the auto department again next year. For a 1916 card, he proposed to Referee and Manager BullaTd yes terday, a program of shorter races, including one in which Arizona driv- CTS may expect to profit-say a 25 mile Arizona championship.

TALK FOOTBALL
 IN H. 5. MEETING
Prospects of Game With Pasadena High Discussed at Assembly; Betts of the Trustees is Strong for the Pastime

A big assembly was held yesterday morning to start boosting the football game to be played Thanksgiving be- tween the Indians and P. H. & If the Coyotes win this game they will play Pasadena on New Years Day in Pasadena. A. A. Betts, of the board of trustees, Francis Geary and Prin- cipal Cook are all strong for this game.
 Mir. Cook sent telegram last night to the principal of the Pasadena High School asking him to kindly save us the game for New Years. The sport editor of the Los Angeles Times is also pulling for Phoenix by writing up articles on his sport page in regards to the F. H. $. visiting Pasadena, in place of an eastern high school
 If everything comes out all right, it will look pretty good for the game with Pasadena.
 The parade Wednesday night was also boosted and a committee appoint ed to take charge of things to make this one grand success. The game Thursday will be far superior to any played this year, and it is supposed that the score if not a tie like last year, will run over seven points. An other assembly will be called Wednes- day morning at which all arrange ments for the parade will be carried out

NJ FOOTBALL
 ON TURKEY DAY
Tempe High Will Indulge In Basketball Contest with Florence Boys and Girls; Normals Have No Game Scheduled
Especial to The Republican,

TEMPE, Nov. 22.-That basketball will be the chief course on the sport menu for Thanksgiving afternoon in Tempe, appears likely today from the dope handed out by the athletic di- rectors of the high school and the normal. Tempe high succeeded in matching a couple of basketball games with Florence high, one for the boys and one for the girls, for Thanksgiving, and at the normal. where football is the only sport known at this time of year, there is nothing on schedule.
 Coach George H. Schaeffer is searching though, and if there is a contest to be had with any kind of an aggregation be it ever so good or ever so bad. he is going to take a chance, schedule the game and not let Thanksgiving day pass by without Tempe normal indulging in it's annual athletic contest.
 Tempe high has some real basket ball doped out for Thursday afternoon and according to Coach Jennings es- timation of the visiting teams. both boys and girls. basketball of the high est class is on tap for this important date. The boys game will be played first, starting at three o'clock, and two highly interesting battles are looked for.
 And while the normals are craving a Thanksgiving game with little chance in sight for it, Schaeffer opines that the Indians will have to play his pedagogues another game be- fore they can rightfully claim the championship of the valley. He is anxious for another game with either the Indian or Phoenix High, and pub licly announces a challenge to either 1 school for a game after Thanks giving.
 Tonight the normal is securing the | country for a game either at home or ] abroad on Thursday and maybe by to- morrow some sort of an eleven in a similar predicament will be encoun- i tered.

UP FOR COYOTE
 INDIAN GAME
Phoenix High, Champions for Two Years, Will Struggle to Keep Title Another Season Against Toughest Team Played

The Harvard Yale fuss won't be in it with the Indian Coyote game to be played at Riverside park Thanksgiv- ing afternoon. Both of the teams are in excellent condition
 This will probably be the greatest game ever witnessed in Arizona. P H. S. champions of the state for two successive years will fight to the finish to maintain that title for the season of 1915. The Indians, with their tricky quarterback, Butler intend to take that title away from the Coyotes. Now that the time is drawing near, the query that puzzles everybody is Who will win?'
 The parade to be held the night be- for the game will be the greatest spectacular pageant ever given around this vicinity. The mayor of the city has given the key to the town to the Coyotes and the Red Skins and told them to go as far as they like The Indian and P. H. s. football teams, dressed in uniforms, with a band from each school to furnish music, clowns, cadets, decorated autos, and students, carrying torches and flash lights from both schools, will make things boom on Thanksgiving eve. This parade will leave the high school at seven o'clock sharp. It will journey up and down the main streets of the city, stopping on the main corners where the football players will be able to dance while the band plays Dixie This parade is stirring up lots of spirit already and it should bring out every student in each school to take part.

CORNELL KEEPS ATHLETIC
 MOSES WITH CONTRACT

College football teams which are in the dumps need not look toward Cor nell with the idea that the Ithaca uni versity is housing a coaching Moses who might be persuaded to lead them out of the gridiron wilderness Dr. A. H. Sharpe would undoubtedly fit the role exceedingly well but Cornell has her successful coach sewed up with a five-year contract which has four years yet to run.
 There is one thing about Cornell athletics that might well be copied by other institutions which meet her on the field of sport When the Ith aca university finds a coach who can deliver the goods she makes it her business to see that he stays in Ith- aca. Courtney. Moakley and Sharpe can be quoted as examples.

There are something like a hundred ball players in the, big leagues. and perhaps more in the minors, who would be interested in having part in such an affair. Probably in ex- citing moments of play they would feel the lack of an umpire handy to curse. but this could be remedied somehow if it would help their game. A player might occasion great mirth from the gallery if after driving off in good shape he should run in all haste to the next hole, sliding in on the green. These little things. how ever, would only enliven the sport and give the game an added interest. It isn't unlikely that if MT Knights idea is carried out we will have an event that will compete with the worlds series in the fall

WILLIE JOHNSTON GETS
 TENNIS TITLE ClOUOED


 The position of William Johnston, national champion, in the annual tennis ranking has been further com plicated by his defeat in the Pacific Coast Championship Tournament. Many controversies have arisen among tennis followers due to differences of opinion regarding Johnston's right to rank ahead of Williams and Me Loughlin- The defeat of Johnston by H. Van Dyke Johns who in turn, was defeated by Herbert Hahn, makes it appear as though the new title holder had overstayed his game.
 Whether this will be taken into con- sideration by the ranking committee remains to be seen. Certainly his elimination from the Pacific Coast tourney has not helped Johnston's record.

CORNELL FACES TEST
 IN THE QUAKER GAME

Cornell and Pennsylvania football teams meet in their twenty-third an- nual Thanksgiving game on Thurs day and the Itahaca eleven hopes to continue her recent string of victor ies at the expense of the Quakers. Judging from the records of the two teams this fall it appears to be an other Cornell year. The Red and White can stand a few more victories over Pennsylvania without becoming conceited since the history of this football series shows the Quakers to be winners of an overwhelming ma jority of the contests to date. The universities first met on the gridiron in 1893 and in the twentytwo games played Cornell has won but three. In 1901 Cornell won 23 to 6; in 1906 the teams played a no-score tie; tEe 1913 score was Cornell 21, Pennsylvania O. Last season Cornell was victor by a 24 to F score The complete record to date is Pennsylvania IS games; Cornell games and one tie contest. In points Pennsylvania leads with 404 to CornelPs 133.
