 ROTRAPFELIAN TOUR
The Truth About the Trip Of Former Phoenix Newspaper Worker; Heeza Movie Nut Right,
 Now

A most enjoyable .imc, had Newton Levy formerly an ad hustler on more than one local publication. who has returned for a time, following his nation wide tour with NVm. Rothapfel. the king of motion picture exhibitors. As a publicity grabber for the Mutual Film Corporation of Los Angeles, Levy was delegated by Reel-Iifa the maga- zine of the Mutuals, to accompany Rothapfcl on the most remarkable educative tour ever undertaken in behalf of the show business.
 In order to inform it's exhibitors of the methods of the man who built the million dollar Strand movie house in New York, the Mutual induced the man himself, Rothapfel, to tour the larger cities and to speak before meet inSs of show shop owners. Levy went along to plunder the newspapers of space. in behalf of the producing company, as an incident to the visits Of the distinguished Gothamite.
 Starting in Los Angeles the para disc of the producers the party leaned and bounded over the country 10 the extent of some 5000 miles. appearing n all the large cities, ladies and gen tlemen, and convincing a large field of exhibitors that the big methods are the best Arrived in the metropolis Rothapfel fell to work in behalf of his new theater which will cost $1250oOo, and Levy beat it for the home town to acquire few rests between acts.
 Newt says that Rothapfel is bug on motion pictures. The author of this sparkling little skit nominates Newt as an also member Tn the words of the country weekly, Newt has brung some sassy ideas from the big city"
 He will shortly hie him to Los Angeles to begin once more his req reer of convincing city editors that motion picture news are news that ought Co get into print

TWAS FINE TRIP
 SAY ROTARIANS
Members of City Club Re turned Yesterday from Castle Hot Springs and Report Most Enjoyable Time in Spite of Rain

The members of the Rotary club. who returned yesterday morning from the Castle Hot Springs motorcade on Saturday, all declare that the affair was~one of the most enjoyable holi- days in which it has ever been the good fortune of the members to in duIge.
 In spite of the downpour of rain which began Saturday morning. there were thirteen machines that made the round trip and about seventv-five of the members of the club who were present to take advantage of the hos pitalities of the hotel management
 The rain. instead of causing trouble along the road and adding 10 the diff ficulty of the driver. materially aided the autoists by rendering the entire course free from dust and making an ideal track for the tourists. The beautiful scenery along the upper DOT tion of the road was ths subject of much favorable conn ent on the part of the travellers, and it is said that the trip, both going and coming. was one of the most pleasant features of the outing. No trouble was experi- enced by any of the drivers, only few puncturcs and blowouts being marked up against the entire party All the machines had arrived at the hotel by 6 o'clock in the evening
 The banquet in the evening was an event which will not seen be forgot ten by those who were so fortunate as to be present, and all of the mem bers are lavish in their praise of the arranEements
 Following the banquet came an en- tertainment of a varied description the biggest hit of which was the black-face minstrel number. which was staged by Messrs. C. F. Kellogg and Fred Myer of Mesa and William Bertram of this city. These three performers gave an entertainment which was most heartily received by the Rotarians.
 Among the amusements which the guests indulged in were golfing. ten- nis and swimming. the latter in the large natatoTium at the hotel During the evening dancing was going on. and this occupied much of the time of the visitors
 The night was spent at the hotel and following the serving of break fast yesterday morning. the guests began their homeward journey While several of the members who had places on the program failed to ar rive in time to take part the affair was. nevertheless, most enjoyable.

Compared with the wonderful eN- hibition of team play given by the Harvard eleven of 1915 against Yale, the first meeting of these two uni versity squads would appear almost Imaginable if it could be staged again today. That contest was played at New Haven on Saturday. November 13, 1875, on a field measuring 400 by 200 feet and was witnessed by about l.5O0 spectators. which included sev- eral hundred women. The number of players on q team was optional with the captain, the rules simply speci- flying that from eleven to fifteen might be played. The game was divided into three 3O-minute periods and the only scoring permitted was a goal following touchdown. kicked over the goal bar suspended ten feet above the ground from two uprigLts 2U feet apart.
 Harvard won by four goals to nothing. the Crimson scoring two IT the first half hour and enc each in the remaining two periods The hall could be kicked or carried: caught on the bound or fly and the runner could he tackled and thrown as at present HarVard's cheering con tingent consisted of 15O stuuents who made the trip from Cambridge to witness the play. No admission was charged and the size of the crowd and absence of gate receipts con trasts sharply with the fact that very close to 120,OO0 persons paid s24O,- 900 % see the Harvard Yale games of 1914 and 1915.

The State Fair Association has planned wisely in offering this com petition, for it has aroused genuine interest in the judging of livestock among students in the high schools and University. This is indicated by the large number of contestants entering the competition and they claim that it was the best lesson they ever had in judging livestock. The boys have worked hard for the test and their efforts were not in vain, for much improvement is noted in the judging done over last year. It is expected that there will be 50 students to take part in this compe- tition aex. year.

The University of Arizona football team, with three men selected for the All Southwestern football team. stands next to the top in men select eel. The New Mexico Aggies head the honor role with four stalwart grid heroes given places on the myth ical eleven.
 The team was selected by three coaches. to-wit: Coach Hutchinson. of the University of New Mexico: Coach Brown of the New Mexico Military Institute, and Coach Rus sell of the New Mexico State Col iege. Coach McKaIe. of the Uni versity of Arizona did not venture to select a team, as he was not present at enough games to qualify: as it was he held out for two of his men. Ash and Porter for positions Porter was given place. along with Hammels and Turvey. but Asa, for some reason or other. was not con- sidered to any great extent
 In referring to the Arizona players the coaches who selected the team made the following statement:
 For right end on the All-South- western team. the greatest number of votes goes to Hammels of the Ari- zOna eleven. Hammels is a very strong offensive and defensive player. His great weight places him in good standing ana his excellent work at handling the forward pass makes him the best selection for this position.
 Turvey. Arizona. the player select cd to the position of right tackle, is am exceptionally good player. His work on both offensive and defensive is strong. ant the work at handling the forward pass in the shift in which he is left on end is little short of marvellous
