FOOTBALL TEAM
IS IN 4 BAD WAY

tice, Ell Paso Players
Face College Team.

Without having had a chance to test
their skill or knowledge of football in
a preliminary game Of any sort the FL
Paso High school football team will
meet the heavy college team of New
Mexico A and NJ. The FL Paso coaches
say this is more than a misfortune; il
Is n calamity. for. with the team an
unknown quantity, men still fighting
for places, not even possessing knOwl-
edge of the rudiments of the game. and
having had no opportunity TO show
whether they possess field generalship,
It Is certainty that Mesilla viii pile
up tremendous score against the To-
cal team.
Madam Fortune. not content with
the above state Of affairs, has doled out
an unusually large portion Of gloom in
the local training camp by way of in
juries to several Of the best players.
Tatum, the big tackle, is out with a
bad knee and only the slimmest of
chances are held out for his starting.
Fox, captain and fuIback has a leg
that is giving trouble and puZzliug the
trainers. and he may have to be taken
out. With the line and back field thus
broken, it Will be much easier for Ne
silla to find the holes and run up an
overwhelming score.
Coach Evans says: The men will
fight hard, but we haven't had a chance

preliminary games makes il certain. in

tackle, has a very bad knee, and / can't
see how I can afford to start him. Fox

have a team for future games I may
have to pull him out. Altogether. il is
a gloomy outlook"
Coach Griffin said The boys are
just beginning TO get into condition. A
few may be able to last out the game,
but the majority are not yet fit. II is
A pity that we have TO so up against

Delving into the pitching records for

has figured in more than three games.
