NO-SCORE GAME. ENDS BATTLE OF.
 H|GH.
Good Crowd Watches Alum
 nj Of Both Institutions In Rough Football Contest
 Marked By Penalties

Before a crowd of 1000 people, the alumni football teams of the Phoenix Union High School and the Indian school battled to a nothing to nothing tie yesterday afternoon at the Indian School field in one of the most bitterly contested games ever put up bv the two schools. Although both teams, and es- pecially the Indians, came close to scoring several times. at the critical moment in every case something went wrong, and the game ended ScorelsS. From tn athletic point of view the game proved disappointing, although almost everyone enjoyed it. Neither team showed anything remarkable In either the playing or training way, and the game was marked by an endless succession of penalties that caused the ! fans on both sides much disgust, and which led to open remarks that the referee was carrying the ball more than either team.
 Indians Got the Jump
 From the very first, however, the In dians seemed to have the best of the high school boys, and had the high
 school line not been heavier, and able to hold at the critical moment the Indians would have walked away with the game. The Indians gave an exhibition of speed during the entire game that far surpassed anything the high schooI could show.
 Evidence that their training periods
 had been shorter than usual was mani
 fested by both teams Considering the
 fact that many players of the two
 teams, particularly the high schooi
 alumnis, have only recently returned tU
 the city and have not had much of an opportunity to practise with their teams,
 the game was very fair.
 The game began almost on time, a; o'clock, and almost immediately tic
 Indians began marching down the fled
 using every variety O., plays with more
 or less success until they were well or
 the high school end of the field. The-c i they were halted and found themselves , unable to break through the line tol f goal.
 Many Penalties
 After the initial plays, and after the
 ball was in high school territory, the
 first half passed in a ceaseless ccumb-
 ling, with neither side able to make any ling of the Indians on the high schoo

 ties inflicted by Referee Cooper formed : an important item in the list of gains , made by the respective schools, the
