The Coconino sun. (Flagstaff, Ariz.) 1898-1978, 1916-11-24

/ Mr.. Lathrop, the coach of the de.
batting team that beat Tempe Normal
school last spring, made an announce
ment to the student body to the effect
that the trial for the team for this
year would be held two weeks from
Saturday. Those wishing to make
the team prepare their speeches,
either affirmative or negative, and are
allowed seven minutes in which to
give their debate. A number of judg-
es grade the speeches and the six re-
ceiving the highest grades are those
that constitute the team. Many are
interested in making the team and it
is expected that very good team will
be had. Tempe Normal school is
thoroughly alive this time and are
preparing splendid team. The ques-
ton for debate is: Resolved, That
Immigration should be further re-
stricted by literary tests" Tempe
Normal school was defeated by both
the Northern Arizona Normal school
teams, and the local school is de-
termined to keep their laurals. Their
cry is, "Reat Tempe Again"
A meeting of the Pine staff was
called last Tuesday. A large number
of students and faculty members are
on the staff, and they are making the
"Pine" one of the best papers in the
Southwest. The "Pine" has only been
issued for the last couple of years,
and has enjoyed splendid growth
since then. It's contents are newsy
and are enjoyed very much by the
students and their parents,
The Northern Arizona Normal
school basket ball team returned from
its annual trip to the Salt River Val
ley last Sunday. Every year this
team has gone to the Valley during
fair week to play the teams in the
southern part of the state. They
played Prescott High school, Glendale
High school, Mesa High school and
Phoenix High school. They had a
game scheduled with the Tempe Nor
NAL school, but upon their arrival, the
rival Normal school refused to play
the local team. The girls were beaten
by one team-that of the Prescott
High school. Three weeks before this
Prescott High school was here and
played the local team, and were beat
en- by the score of 22-13 They in turn
beat the local team by one point, the
score being 1915. 1t was rather UNI
fortunate for the Normal school team
for they are team that have played
all their games out of doors until this
one, and were not accustomed to in
door courts. 1t is considered vic
tory by them to even hold the Pres
colt team to such close score when
PLAYING indoors. Their hardest oppo-
nents while on the trip were the
Glendaleites. They have splendid
team and had not been defeated for
the last five years until they met the
/ local team. The game was fast, and
well played. The other games with
Phoenix and Mesa were easy games,
and the Northern Arizona Normal
school team had no trouble in winning
both victories. They have only lost
one game this season, and that was
to the Prescott school and it is hoped
that they can schedule another game
I with them out of doors so that they
may have fair chance to beat them
and to win the State championship
7 again this year. Considering 1t from
the standpoint of points made in the
games, Flagstaff is the winner over
Prescott for they only beat the local
team one point while Flagstaff beat
them eight points.
The football season of the Northern
Arizona Normal school ended on No
vember 18th when they played the
University of New Mexico at Albu-
querque.
Most teams of the state play up
until Thanksgiving, but weather con-
ditions and the lack Of teams to play
have made the local players end their
season with a clean score in the state
of Arizona. They were supposed to
have return game with the Prescott
High school, but that team seems to
feel that they are not in the Flagstaff
class for they have not even attempt
ed to give the local boys return
game. They were beaten by large
score early in the season, both by the
Winslow High school and the Normal
school. Winslow High school team
was beaten twice by the local team;
Phoenix High school team, and the
Tempe Normal school team were were
also given their worst beatings, which
