SAVIOR IF CROOKS ID
 HELP HESS

James Hess, who is still facing a serious charge, will have the best crirn inal lawyer in the United States. B Taylor who has freed the biggest crooks in the country will represent Hess at the court house de la Woman's club next Thursday evening.
 Hess still pleads not guilty and says it is absurd for anyone to believe that he stole the football game from Kyrene But the prosecuting attorney does not see it that way and will contest ths case to the most ultimate degree.
 Hess makes but one statement and that is this: q have been manager ot the High school eleven all season and where I stole a game from any of the neighboring schools when I had all the chance in the world
 Kyrene is insulted over the fact that Jimmy cleverly stole the game and have literally donated to aid the prose cution of the case They sent in a complaint to have Jimmy atone for the crime by hanging. The state law how ever, prohibits the death penalty so it will mean life imprisonment for the youthful offender.
 The empanelling of the jury has al ready started and the poor defendant must trust his freedom in the hands of the present jury who will certainly railroad him.
 His Honor Judge Harold Baxter, L. L. B. will preside in the case and he says that he will give the defendant, Jimmy Hess everything but square deal. The judge. when. interviewed last night, made the statement that it was his extreme pleasure to see Hess behind the bars and will do all in his power to influence the jury for this favorable verdict.
 Jimmy said since my latest trouble, there is but one thing I can say and it is this: "The reason l happily sigh, l am a member of Phoenix High.
 Outside of all the crimes Hess has committed, he is pretty fair fellow at that Jimmy says: T hear I am crooked Is that straioht?"
 The above noise will appear at the Woman's Club Thursday evening. This mock trial has caused aigreat deal of comment as it is a very odd perform ance and will keep the audience in an uproar of laughter. The Trinity Club is an exclusive club for young men and they meet at the Parish House every

New Mexico made a good show : ing playing a hard schedule they refused tp play Eoswell-and I am therefore going to rank the Military Joys ahead of the University. Hut chinson of New Mexico is an excep- tionally good coach and the people of Albuquerque have him to thank for putting them on the football map or this section. Next season why not play Arizona in Fl Paso? My rank ing of the teams then is as follows:
 University of Arizona, New Mex ico Mlitarr Institute, first; Univer si1v of New Mexico. second; Texas School of Mines. third; New Mexico Aggies. fourth
 On my first team I have picked Hallmark of Arizona and Aydelotte of New Mexico University. Both men have played hard, consistent ball all season. being especially strong on de fense. Al tackles I have chosen Hen- dry of Arizona, and Higgins of h. stitute. Herdry is in a class by him. self He is a natural leader and a fine | diagEostician, so to him goes the honor of being captain of the team Higgins of Institute was 8 good tackle and n the Cadet Mines game he lite rally tore the Mines lines to shreds At the guard positions TurVev of Arizona, a tackle is moved intr positior next to his teammate, Hu,- dry, and Blal1c of the Institute is placed beside Higgins. I claim that this is some line-and how I would like to see it in action.

TO MILWAUKEE FOR NEW YEARS

Milwaukee will prove the mecca this year for Chicago's celebrants whose usual activities in observing New Years Eve are to be curbed by the rigid enforcement of the l o'clock law for the lid in the Wisconsin city is to be carefully removed and tucked away until January l.
 Only one restriction is made and that is all music in Milwaukee cafes must stop promptly at midnight. Saloons and cafes where liouor is sold are to remain open all night, however.
 Reports of the lid tilting have re- suited in a rush for advance reserva- tions on the part of Chicagoans who have been mourning the loss of their usual celebration and in all probabili- ties the city's loop will be literally deserted by the merry makers, as com pared with former years.
 A movement has been launched Tn Milwaukee to allow music to continue until morning so that the celebration may be complete in every sense and the new year welcomed to the ac- commandment of the "Jass" band and orchestra.-From the Chicago Post.

 ATHLETES SAYS TRAINER

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 25.-Ego- tism is a cardinal virtue in the make up of an aspilant for high track hon. ors, according to Boyd Comstock, who has trained and coached some ot the best athletes that Southern Cali fo-nia has produced. Comstock is not slow in describing him. in the argot or the street. as a "grandstander."
 As a word of warning to the nov ice who hopes to become champion, said Comstock in a recent discussion of the subject. T would say that inn proNement is not always marked by consistent Derformiug adv ucareot. He must remember that a seemingly bad slump is nothing more or less than the necessary step up the ladder of progress It is something to be ex- peotcd particularly to one who works consistently
 T believe that too great a respect is given to record marks in the vari- ous events. l favor the reverse. Any height, distance or time that has been made iu far competition can be eQualled or bettered by hundreds of present day competing athletes if they ,Nould allow their minds to get in the proper condition.
 ''YOur succ essfGl athlete is essen tia!ly an eSotist and supremely conf dent of his own ability and proWness. SllnglY speaking he is a "grandstand- CT" and in this he should be en- courlged. It all rests finally on what he can do, there can be no outside help no teanmate can cover up the Tagging stride, therefore the ego can not be over developed Give me a man with the imagination for future athletic greatness and 1 will predict future champion and get away with it.
 There is altogether too much at tention paid to the individual methods of champlons, who have developed a certain style and which is in a large meas-re wrong in one or more vital points and certainly should not be copied in its entirety until the points prove Ihemsef beneficial.
