W|NSLOW HIGHS
DEFEAT NORNALS
High School Retaliates By De-
feating Flagstaff Nornals in
Second Game of Season
WINSLOW'S LONE SCORE
CAME IN LAST HALF
Efforts Now Being Made to Meet
Albuquerque High School

In one of the fastest and
cleanest football games witness
ed by local football enthusiasts
in many a day, the Winslow
High school took revenge on the
Flagstaff Normal school eleven
by delivering to them the short
end of a 6 to 0 score. The game
was full of ginger and pep from
the very beginning of the first
quarter to the last quarter when
Flagstaff, for the first time dur
ing the game, threatened the
Winslow goal and for a time it
seemed almost certain that the
lumber city" lads were going
over for a touchdown, but the
Winslow line tightened up and
retained the ball on downs.
1t goes without saying that
the High school lads out-played
their slightly heavier opponents
in every detail of the game, with
the possible exception of forward
passes and the local boys were
handicapped in this branch Cf
the game by stiff wind blowing
against them.
The game was started with
Winslow kicking off to Flagstaff,
the Normalites returning the OBJ
long "pigskin" to the center of
the field but soon lost it on a
tumble. The Flagstaff a d S
cou d not ward off the onrushing
High school lads and the pigskin
was we'll into the Flagstaff terri
tory, where it constantly remain
ed throughout the first half. Not
once was Winslow's goal threat
ened during the first three quar-
ters and Winslow made numerous
gains of from five to thirty yards.
Winslow's lone touchdown came
in the third quarter when Eddie
Clark, Winslow's lightning full
back, made a line plunge break
ing through and crumbling the
Flagstaff defensive and placing

Lee H. Cockrum, brakema n OF

the ball almostly directly in the
center of the goal. WinsIow's S
kick for goal was low and failed.
On several different occasions
Winslow carried the ball within
the twenty yard line, but the
Normalites tightened up their
line and held them, retaining the
ball on downs. In short, both
teams played brilliant game
and all who attended were we'll
satisfied with the results and
content that Winslow put up a
hard fight and won the game
fair and square. Flagstaff made
several successful and brilliant
forward passes, which netted
them handsome gains, but the
WinsloWans proved too speedy
for them and it was to no avail.
The stars whom featured and
deserve special mention are But
ton, quarter back, Eddie Clark,
full back, Creswell, half back,
Hensley and Sandoval, ends, and
Cooper, center, all Of whom play
ed a brilliant game from start to
finish.
Probably one of the most SEN
sational fake plays ever seen on
the local gridiron was pulled off
when Eddie Clark, Winslow's
full back, dropped back as if to
punt, making a long dash around
left end netting them about 35
yards in the second quarter. At
this t h e gridiron enthusiasts
broke into turmoil of cheering.
For an hour or more after the
game Winslow was filled with
life by the cheering of the High
school, girls who rode about the
city in automobiles.

In Holbrook Oil Fields

Rapid progress has been made
in the prospective Holbrook oil
| fields and at this writing five
companies are drilling and sew
eral others are completing the
preliminary operations.
The Adamana Oil Company is
drilling in blue shale, where oil
is usually found in California, at
a depth of approximately 1875
feet. The Holbrook Oil Company
is drilling below 500 feet and is
making good progress. T h e
weather here has been propitious
as far as rain is concerned. The
Holbrook is still in the Coconino
in the cross-bed Pennsylvania
formation. The Black Canyon
Oil Company is drilling little
deeper than 800 feet and from
the remarkable showings of oil
it has received. it would appear
likely that it will get oil at a
shallow depth.
The Zuni Oil Company has
completed it's rig and it's complete
outfit of machinery will be on
the ground within a few days.
The Apache Oil Company has
moved its rig to between Taylor
and Snowflake, two towns hay
ing their depot there, and the
outlook is good. In the opinion
of geologists, the Apache will OBJ
tain oil at a shallow depth. VIM.
Wesley, geologist and manager
of the Zuni Oil Company, who
for some years previous to the
war was prominently connected
with oil developments in Russia,
is enthusiastic over the Apache
holdings and location. The Hopi-
Wind River Company, whose
drill has the greatest depth, has
resumed operations at depth of
approximately 2250 feet. A de-
lay was encountered last week
due to the installation of heavy
eqipment, including chain and
sprocket for handling casing,
heavier bull wheel for drilling at
a greater depth and other i'm
provements. On Sunday night
drilling was recommended, und-
erreaming a hole 174 feet to the
point where it stopped drilling
and where it had encountered a
sharp sand with every indication
that a productive oil sand lay
just beneath. When this hole
has been reamed out, the casing
will be lowered and will shut off
the water which is now 900 feet
in the casing.
One of the most portant
events in the developement of
the field to date has been the ad-
vent of the Allen Oil Company,
which is backed by one of the
largest eastern syndicates.
Charles E. Major, geologist
and mining engineer. was in the
field last week locating a site for
a new company. Mr.. Major was
the first geologist to pass upon
the Holbrook field and his origin
al report has since been endors-
ed by many other noted geolog-
lists. He has completed his lat
est work and returned to his
home in Prescott.
