FOOT BALL AND
 CHICKEN PROVE
 AGOOD MIXTURE

Francis E. Geary, head coach in the football department at the high school, while in the act Of demolishing some of Sings fried chicken Saturday night. confided to his admiring audience that he was going to have real football team at that institution this year
 Geary with his usual tactifullness re- fused to divulge upon what grounds he based his claim. But it is we'll known fact that when Arizona's leading im- pressario makes such a statement, there is something behind it. No one doubted his word and everyone listened with keen interest

 From the above remarks, it might be safe in predicting that P U. H. s. with the assistance of a few of the young sters in football togs is going to have a real grid iron combination. The school lost seven letter men this year through graduation and other prevent | ible accidents, but in spite of this Geary managed to find several likely men to fill in.

 I Geary's trouble in past years ha. been in whipping his ends and quart
 CTS into a semblance of a pigskii chaser. His ends particularly hay, never been able to solve the problem relating to the chasing of punt dowi the field. They have steadfastly re fused to hit the breeze. when the bal scared into the air, rather preferring t, | ope down the field, wondering who wa i going to catch the pigskin.
