TUCSON. Nov. S.-The heavy Bis
bee football team went down to %
to nothing defeat before the little
Tucson High school eleven on the
Southern Arizona Fair grounds Satur
day afternoon
In the FIRST period Bisbee showed
what strength could do by rushing the
ball up to the Tucson vineyard line.
but later on the difference between
strength and cleverness began to
make itself apparent The Bisbee
backs failure to charge low resulted
in them being thrown many times for
a loss Their defense was weak
against the forward pass and the long
end runs of Harris from a kick for
nation
Tucson, on the other hand. had lots
up their sleeves all through the game.
They played a better class of foot.
ball Of the way through with the ex-
ception of the early part of the first
quarter Harris and Slonaker proved
themselves to be stars with their for
ward passing and defensive playing.
Things looked bad for Tucson I'm
the first quarter Wallace, the Bis
bee quarterback. received Tucsbn's
kickoff in the beginning of the game
and carried the bah ten yards, put
ting it down on his own 30 yard line.
Immediately Bisbee started up the
field on end ruls and line plunges.
Doyle Verfuth and Kreigbaum each
going through for gains o neach trial,
until they placed the BAN on the So
yard line. A forward pass, Kreigbaum
TO Doyle, netted 20 yards and subse-
quent bucks put the bal on the one
yard line. Here, however, the Tucson
line frightened up and Bisbee was un-
able to cross the goal line, the ball
going over on downs The quarter
ended with Tucson punting out Of
danger.
The Scoring Begins
Starting from Bisbee's 30 yard line
Tucson began to carry the hall to-
ward Bisbee's goal. Harris made 10
yards on a long end run. Sionaker
was sent around the other end for Is
yards Hutton made II more, and
.slonaker carried the bali through the
line for six yards more placing the
ball on Bisbee's 1-yard line. The first
buck failed to put it over, but a pass
from Slonaker to Momtt scored the
first touchdown for Tucson Harris
missed the goal kick When the half
ended Bisbee was going up the field at
a good gait, but the calling of time
stopped the squirt.
I'm the third quarter Tucson scored
ON a very pretty forward pass Sion
aiken ran back and shot the ball to
Harris on the opposite end for about
a 35yard gain. Harris evaded Wall
ace, the Bisbee safety man. when
Wallace slipped i'm the mud and fell,
and the second touchdown was scored.
Harris kicked the goal, making the
score Is to in Tucson's favor.
Tucson "Steals Home"
The third touchdown was made in
the last quarter Verfuth ran out for
a forward pass and was just ready to
receive it when a Tucson player dash
ed in front of him, grabbed the ball
and carried it SO yards TO a touch,
down. Harris kicked the goal Fol
lowing this came a safety, counting
two points. Bisbee received the ball
right on their own goal line. On the
first down 1t was passed to Verfuth
who laid it on the ground in order to
get it taken out 70 the 20yard line
as is the case when a punt rolls over
the line. However. instead of getting
what he wanted he deliberately gave
away two points When a player de-
.liyerately places the ball behind his
own goal line touch-back is scored
against him The last score came
when Slonaker made a pass to Harris
for a thirty-6ve yard gain and
touchdown. Francis kicked the goal
