 Ranking Committee in 1915

The Ranking Committee of the Ma tional Lawn Tennis Association in it's report to the parent body again emphasizes the unsatisfactory re- sponse to it's request for data upon which to base it's ranking of players According to the committee the re- plies received this year were less than the number turned in at the end of the 1914 season. Blanks were supplied, through every club holding membership in the association. to all players who competed in sane toned tournaments during 1915.
 It is estimated that more than B. 900 racquet wielders competed in 142 tournaments sanctioned by the IT. S \. L. T. A. yet but eighty-six singles and forty-two doubles record blanks were returned to the committee As a result a portion of the ranking had to be done upon unofficial and press reports of the play Since but small proportion of the tournament Tlayers evince any desire to supply the committee with the necessary data for ranking purposes. other methods for recording the progress of tennis competition will be adopted before the 1916 season begins

PHOENIX-EL CENTRO
 ROAD ID BE IMPROVED

From Riley's Log of Phoenix Yuma Road:
 Distances From Yuma
 West: Fl Centro, 66 miles: San Diego, 1S7 miles; Los Angeles. SIS miles.
 East: Phoenix, lSG miles: Deming. 610 miles; Fl Paso. 7O3 miles.
 There is in all probability no other stretch of road of equal length on any transcontinentaI highway that will be improved this coming year az the stretch from Phoenix. Arizona. to Fl Centro, California via Yuma
 All conditions are ideal for road through here that will carry the travel of the future The route lies through level country and weather conditions are of the Lest for touring the year around, snow being unknown anu frosts very seldom. The heat of the summers will not stop the tourist when tEr roads are in shape as the run from Phoenix to and through the Imperial valley can be made in one night O. day.
 The road from the Imperial valley to San Diego and on to Los AnEc- les is one of the finest in the cCun- IT A- bOiIi Ibl scenery ana TbAObeu.
 At Phoenix one sees t'.e Salt Riv- CT valley and its irrigated country. At Yuma another of the government reclamation projects is being com pleted. The Imperial valley with it's great irrigated lands. make this one of the most attractive routes there
 The rainfall is very small and a
 
 ever. The worst that can be said ol the present road is that it is dusty and chuckey and therefore slow driving.
 This route can be reached from the National old Trails route by drop ping south from Socorro to Demin& or Fl Paso, then following the Bor- Gerland to Phoenix and Yuma.
 This makes an ideal winter route to California for all Colorado and the middle west. as the roads from Albuquerque through Socorro to Deming and on to Phoenix are at their best in the winter when the more northerly routes are showed under.
 This route is at it's best during the fall. winter and spring and must be taken in winter, as It Is the only one really open and it is advisable to take it in the fall and spring as you are sure not to run into an early or late snowstorm In fact you are assured of absolutely the best weather conditions to be found on any route.
 To the tourist headed for San ni- ego. this route is shorter by 50 miles than the other route from AL buquerque.
 Tourists from the east can come south from Dodge City. following the Borderland all the way.
 Baker. on his record run in the Stutz. from coast to coast, picked this route after Investigating all routes with the idea of fast driving. He made the run from San Diego to Phoenix the first day and landed in Fl Paso. Texas the second day out.
 No toll bridges or ferries are en- countered at any point along this route between Fl Paso and San Die go and Los Angeles and the tourist does not have to await any ones pleasure at any point, but can keep going night and day

Real Open Field Attack Not Developed During Sea son In Arizona; All-statc High School Team Hard to Pick
By LYLE ABBOTT

Of the scores of high school foot ball players who performed on Ari- zona sridirOns during the season just closed, few amazing stars were de- veloped. The game as played in this state. with exceptions among the higher institutions of learning was not nearly as advanced as that of the east and far west. The aerial form of attack was never worked up to the proper pitch of perfection but instead, coaches contented themselves with weird backfieId formations and straight attacks, truly surprising combination.
 The forward pass did not receive the attention it deserved Tine Phoe- nix high school tried less than half hundred passes in all it's games. and completed about two thirds of the number. Compared with recent game in which Michigan was engaged. where fifty-fiVe passes were made and completed, this record is indeed low
 With the form of game adopted hereabOut last year, it is hard to judge the ability of players. Consequently. il is no wonder that no two observers can agree on an All Arizona high school team. During the season. The Republican has carried about three to five times the amount of football news that other papers have had, and has never forgotten a single game be- tween the major high schools, and es- pecially those in which the Coyotes COntended.
 The result of this close observation is an all state selection that will meet with the approval of most, if not all critics.
