 GAME FROM W|NSlOW

SeptemDer Zftn. Splendlu program was rendered, among the numbers be- ing: A reading by MT. Paul Rich ards, talk by Mir. Hyde, a vocal solo by Miss Mable Kent, reading by Miss Jennie Whipple, a speech on "Woman's Rights" by Miss Gladys Prior, and reading by Mir. McDan- iels. Mir. Hyde in his speech directed and compared his thoughts with the Owl, which is the emblem of the Lit erati society. He asked the question, "Hoow Hooo are we? and what do we amount to the society,"" Miss Winterfeld, the society critic, gave short criticism, and was followed by the business portion of the meeting. Society pins have been submitted for approval and it is thought that the letter l., standing for Literatis, will be enameled in white and serve as back ground, while upon its base will be perched and owl with green eyes. This emblem will give the society col ors, it's initial letter, and its meaning, all in a pin. The attendance last week was 60 and this meeting it had 70 members a good increase for one weeks work. The interest and en- thusiasm are steadily growing in the society.
 The Normal school debating society held it's regular meeting on Wednes- day, September 27th. A rousing good debate was had and was much en- joyed by the members. Both boys and girls belong to this society and the membership is to be limited to "A for the first year. This is as large number of debaters as Coach Latin rop is able to handle at one time.
 Three new students arrived this week to take up courses at the Nor nal school. They are: Miss Pearl Fuller and sister, and MT. Gilbert Udall.
 The Normal orchestra is doing splendid work, and every Thursday evening its sweet strains float over the campus from the music room in Academic hall. Miss Luscomb is the leader, and takes much interest in training the orchestra.
 Football
 The Normal school team won it's first battle of the season, on Satur- day, September 30th. The first vic- tins to fall before the "plunging lumber jacks" were the Winslow High school boys. Let it be said that they met defeat in good sportsmanlike way and went down fighting, and vowed that three weeks hence they would "walk on" the Normalites. A great difference of weight was one cause of their defeat. The Normal team will average 155 pounds, and in the back-feld they will average 165 pounds. Winslow did not average over 40 pounds but nevertheless they ''bucked" their larger opponents for a touchdown, and the score ended 20-e in favor of the Normal school. The Normal school made its first touch down in the first few minutes of play Yost, the light but fast end, inter. cepted one of Winslow's passes anc ran 60 yards for touchdown, while Captain Beaton and right-haf George ran perfect interference for him.
 George was the sensation of thu game, and made two touch-downs He should have been allowed another making the score 26-6, but the official! did not grant it as he was fouled fol unnecessary roughness. Many fault: could be seen in each team. Winslov runs better interference than the Nor maj school, and its back-field is fast CT, but the Normal school has goot heavy line and plays good offensiv game, but is very weak on defense One of the first requisites of foot ball player, is to be good tackler This is serious drawback to tn Normal school team and so is it Interference running" This could b seen by the way the Normal schoo huskies failed to hold the little boy from Winslow and how they failed t make long gains. It is up to them t get busy and learn some of tn fundamentals" of good football be fore they go up against Prescott Phoenix or Tempe Normal as thes teams are much heavier than Winsloy and will be harder to hold. But tn Normal boys have the determinatio to do it, and by the way they go a practice since the game it looks as they really were becoming serious an intended to play football this seasol Let us hope so. The next game 0 the season is to be had either Satul day the Eth or Monday the 9th wit Prescott. It is not definitely know yet, but Prescott plays here eithe
