CONVERSELY TO
 GALL TROOPS AT 0WND|SCRET|0N
Governor Orders Militia Officer to Be Ready to Move Troops Whenever He Sees Fit. Almories Being Guarded

Acting on urgent requests from
 Yuma, Arivaca and other towns on or near the border. Gov. Hunt yes
 terday ordered Major Donkersley of
 Yuma to keep in communications with affairs along the international line, and in case anything of threaten ing nature same up, to use his dis cretion about calling out the two con-
 panies of militia at Yuma to pro-
 tect those living in that vicinity.
 At the same time. the governor or
 dered that six national guardsmen
 be placed on duty at Yuma, to guard
 the armOry there, and to keep a
 watch for trouble across the line
 Throughout the day, Gov Hunt was
 in receipt of communications from
 several towns on the border Al though there was nothing hysterical contained in any of the messages, those who sent them were inclined to think that some precautionary measures should be taken.
 The fact that there are 1000 MeXi- can troops encamped just across the border from Yuma. at MeXical. gave rise to the suppoSltiOn that in case en. Carranza took a notion to attempt to block the movements of American troops, there might be serious trouble there.
 When questioned yesterday as to whether he had received any offers of volunteer troops, to be used in case of trouble, the governor replied that so far he was able to lay his hands on about 150 generals and other superior officers, but up to a late hour no one of an inferior grade had offered their services.
 Both the armories at Tucson and Phoenix are being guarded by militia : men, Although no serious trouble is looked for. it is known that at both Tucson and Phoenix there are
 great number of Villa sympathizers and a demonstration by them in favor of the bandit might lead to serious trouble.

 Ell Zaribah

Harold C. Hess, well known for his erudition in the military sciences, has
 recently aroused the curiosity of his
 friends by his deep interest in Egypt
 ology and sphinXiana. After the un
 yelling of the Temple of Isis in Han
 ny's window yesterday afternoon, how
 ever, there was no longer any need for
 the wit of an Oedipus to solve the rid
 dle. The winged monsters of Thebes
 have found a modern counterpart in the artistic bronze figures created by Artist Hess, and used by him as the guards of temple like frame which carries a most realistic desert scene, whose central figure, a Noble Sheik Of the Sahara, stand spell-bound with his gaze fixed upon a distant oasis. In the oasis appears the temple of Fl Zarbah, for the whole design is meant as compliment to the visiting Shriners, with the added purpose of giving the home folks an idea of what sort of a home the Shriners of Arizona are soon to build on North Central avenue.

 HEAD IF s. s. Fl. A.

Frank E. Wilson was elected presi dent of the SOuthside Farm Improve ment association at largely attended meeting at the Neighborhood House last night.
 Reports of the work done since the organization of the association showed it to be one of the most solid commun- ity organizations in the valley.
 frank discussion of the cow test : ing proposition disclosed the fact the new methods of standardizing dairy animals had found a good deal of favor in the Roosevelt district. In fact, the enthusiasm over the proposition was much higher than it was thought would be possible in a district that had not been campaigned in favor of COW testing.

C. J. Birthfied of Santa Fe Advertis- ing Staff Sees and Preserv-
 es Wonderful Scenes

Before their departure last evening for Castle Hot Springs, MT. and Mrs. C. J. .Birchfield had seen more of Salt River valley than many residents, and with the aid of a camera man, had filmed the more interesting scenes for an advertising campaign that the Santa Fe is going to wage shortly. Brchfield is one of the chief pub licity men of the system.
 In cooperation with the chamber of commerce, the party visited RoOse- welt dam Monday, securing some good movies of the twin cascades. Yester- day. they took in the productive or industrial end of the valley. Among other things they secured were the orange orchards, the alfalfa fields and other crops, scenes on the canal system and finally, some exquisite views in and around the San Marcos hotel at Chandler.
 Birchfield came here with the in tention of taking everything that is worth while-to make, in short, a movie that would be the last word in Phoenix film advertising.

STUDENTS CHEER
YALE PLAYERS IN
LAST SCRIMMAGE

New Haven, Nov. 17-Between
/, 500 and q, OOO-Yale students march
ed out to the Bowl yesterday after
noon and saw the team go through
some of the snappiest work it has
done this year, the progress in de-
Tense against the forward pass being
especially marked.
The varsity team was early set in
motion against DR.. Bulls eleven.
Sham scrimmage was first staged and
then the ball was given to the scrub
eleven with instructions to try to ad-
vance it down the field on forward
passes. Out of more than a dozen
fast tries for gains by this form of at
tack, only one worked but the man
was aniled in his tricks. LeGore per-
sonally smeared about five of the
passes.
The practice was wound up with
drop kicking practice. The varsity
was given the ball on the scrubs 80
yard line, and Braden, LeGore and
Neville took turns at booting it over
Although Braden was distinctly en-
joying an off day, he put over three
neat ones. All of Braden's successes
were of the most clean cut variety, 60
ing straight over the goal posts.
The team is in better fettle than it
has been since the Colgate game The
cooler weather has had a bracing
effect on their work, and all of them,
LeGore included, worked with punch
and power. LeGore is showing signs
of his old time form, and it is ex-
pected that he will put up a game
against Yale's rivals which will go
a long way toward winning the series
The lineup of the team yesterday
afternoon may safely be said to be the
line which will face Princeton tomor-
row. 1t was as follows: Moseley,
le.; Gates, It.; Black, lb.; Callahan,
c.: Fox, r.g.; Baldridge, TT; Conner
ford, re-; Smith, OBJ; Neville, lib;
LeGore. r.h.b Jacques, f.b.

football practice yesterday afternoon
was neither very long nor very strenu-
Gus. The field was frozen and. while
there was short scrimmage between
the varsity lineup. which is expected
to meet Brown, and the scrubs the
players were not driven hard. The
eleven with Murray at quarter back
and Sweetzer at right tackle as the
only regulars made a much better de-
fensive showing against the Brown at
tack, as exemplified by the scrubs,
than they did yesterday, although
even yesterday Johnson, BACKED up to
resemble Browns star half back, made
some goOdly gains.
Robinson is still out, his leg having
gone back on him again, and, unless
he improves quickly, his chances even
for the Yale game will not be very
good. Yesterdays back field, COM
prising. Bond, Flower, and Burnham,
the first two having begun the season
as regulars, worked very well to-

Hartley was worked at left tackle,
Duncan being sent back to guard.
Clark was at guard on the right wing,
but it is still uncertain whether he or

Blind which sums the situation in
regard to Brown University's star half
back up neatly and completely.
Pollard is the star of the Brown
eleven. Pollard is a Chicago negro.
That is why the words Of Sprack-
ling are so pointed. Of all the backs
in the East, this year, only Oliphant,
of the Army, has more formidable
record than Pollard. Will he gain
All-American h0nors?
Fred Pollard is not big man, as
many have pictured him. In fact, he
is just five feet six inches tall and
weighs 155 pounds. He is an ebony
skinned Eddie Casey.
He is just Casey's size and weight.
He plays much the same kind Of a
game as the Harvard star, too. If
anything, he is a little faster than
Eddie. Brown is as proud of Fred
Pollard as she is of her unbeaten
eleven. He is well-mannered young
boy, and great football player.

All preparations have been made
for the game, Sunday, between the

TO TITLE CANNOT
BE DISPUTED NOW

New York, Nov. ,17-Pittsburg' s
performance in scoring in every game
this year twenty or more points, usu-
ally more, on a schedule which in
cludes such teams as Syracuse, Anna
polls, Pennsylvania and Washington
and Jefferson, stamps Glenn Warner
team as one of the greatest scoring
machines Of the past few years. Pitt
is likely to romp through the next
two games on the schedule and then
set up a claim as the championship
eleven of the year, claim few will
dispute.
If Brown can beat Harvard and
Colgate, the. Providence collegiates
must be considered, but Brown hard
ly deserves a place above Pittsburg.
Warmers team has shown itself a bet
ter scoring combination than has
Brown, taking into consideration the
teams played by each.

HARVARD ELEVEN
HAS ADVANTAGE IN
YEARS SCHEDULE

In the triangular series of Yale,
/. Harvard and. Princeton, Harvard has
one very distinct advantage over both
adversaries The Tigers meet Har-
ward on one Saturday and Yale the
next. Yale meets the Tigers on one
Saturday and Harvard the next. But
Harvard after playing Princeton, has
/ a two weeks interval in which to
recover physical condition and then
smooth out the team for it's final
game.
One result of this condition, which
has been noted ever since Harvard and
Princeton resumed football relations
in 1911, is hat\Princeton plays bet
ter against Harvard than agains.
Yale; Yale plays better against Prince
. ton than against Harvard and Har-
ward plays better against Yale than
against Princeton. That gruelling
first game takes so much out Of the
Etis and the Tigers, respectively, that
! they cannot balance the physical
! wastage in a single week.-Mrs. with
cut taking into account actual in
juries.
10 the other hand Harvard, with
toe Brown game which is usually
easy enough for the substitutes 20
kidIlOlc, has JUST LIE lOcdl pcIlOu III
which to >recnperate and come back
with added strength and polish.
Apparently there isn't any way TO
change it. Neither Harvard nor Yale
would consent to make their meeting
anything but the elimination O. the
season. For them to play each other
ahead of either the Harvard Pr ince-
ton or Yale-Princeton would make the
seasons end, for them, an anti-climax.
/, Princeton would probably be will
ing to play Harvard a week earlier
since her season ends with the Yale
game week earlier than those of
the others. But this would upset Har-
Yards development, cause her to force
her team to top form and keep it there
for three weeks and that would never
/ do. Beside 1t wouldn't help Yale lat
all. So long as both sentiment and
football utility enter so confli ctingly
into the problem there isn't likely to
be any change.

west In Big Series
Would Save Games
From Present Plight

All over the East baseball fans are
bowling and tearing their hair over
prices charged this year for admission
to Worlds Series games. Also they
have admitted they were surprised by
the absolute calm which laid hold Of
Z Boston and Brooklyn during the ser
les and before it.
There isn't anything wonderful
about that calm, nor anything high
handed in regard to the prices The
first was an unavoidable fact, the lat
ter something that was bound to come
sooner or later, since luxury has come
to be one of the requisites OF such
contests, writes Hamilton in the Sport
| ing News.
The East has been Worlds Seriesed
to death. Teams on the Atlantic sea-
board have hogged the affair ever
since Detroit and Chicago quit win
ming American and National League
pennants. Even the Pirates were too
far East for the good of the game
/ the East now as a matter of course
/ The fans like them and they want
to see one team or the other win, and
they spend money to see the game, but
the spirit isn't there and it never will
be until the West has some baseball
prosperity.
Magnates in the two big leagues rea-
lie this fact and it will be surpris-
ing II some deals are not put through
this winter which will strengthen the
western clubs to point where they
will be real pennant contenders. The
White Sox are contenders now and so
are the Tigers, but there are spots in
each club which badly need strength
ening and these will be given atten-
;tion. In the National League the
same conditions prevail and it prob
ably will come to pass during the
winter that St. Louis. Pittsburg and
nlcago will be DoIstered.
