Take out your bugjuice tawny,

come from western valleys, from
eastern hill and dale; they're
sleeping in our alleys, decaying
in our Jail. They spoil the repu-

they're bringing tribulation to
folks who fain would smile. So

 Altogether four big events have been 1rranged by the American legion. un- der whose auspices the program is be- ing staged.
 One Of the biggest advance sales ever recorded at the Doyle cigar store. where the pasteboards were placed en sale two weeks ago. indicates the wide spread interest being manifest throughout the state in the New Years afternoon card. Crowds of sportsmen are coming from Prescott, Jerome,
 Flagstaff. Tucson. Douglas, Bisbee

 There are still a limited number oi the choice ringside tickets still to be had. Reserved seat tickets are more or less plentiful, while the general ad- mission tickets are to be had in almost any quantity. Provisions have beer made by the legion for caring for sev- eral hundred additional fans or bleacher seats.

REST ON EVE

 BOUTS ON PROGRAM SAT.

Today is rest day in the camps Of fighters who VIII be paraded before public view at Tally's open air arena, Eighth and Washington streets, tomor- row afternoon in the most formidable boxing program ever staged by the American legion. Incidentally it is to be the last card for q period of 90 days-the result of action by the city commission Wednesday in sUspending all boxing permits for perlod of three months.
 Unless all dope goes wrong. there should be enough action on tomorrow's program to satisfy the ordinary Tan for that length of time. The card, as ar ranged by Matchmaker McAhren. has the appearances, on paper, of being one of those events that the fans will keep talking about weeks after the fighters have departed for other scenes.
 The Willie Meehan-Wild Bill Reed event at 10 rounds has probably aroused more interest than any other boxing bout ever staged in this com munity First of all, it is the first fight between heavyweights ever at tempted here, and the success of this venture will guide the actions Of the matchmaker in future matches.

PASADENA. Calif.. Dec. 30. - The University of California and Ohio State football squads today began tapering off their practice in prepara- ton for their game here New Years day.
 The coaches plan just enough prac- tice to keep the players "on edge" for the contest, and not enough to risk injuring a first line man through fur ther severe scrimmage.
 Football experts continue to express the opinion the result of the clash be- tween the westerners and the middle westerners will depend on the ability of the Bears to stop Pete Stinchcomb, all-American halfback. At tue same time, they declare, unless the Buckeye line can hold it's own with the Califor- mia wall, Stinchcomb will uot get loose" with the regularity he has dis played in the east

Johnston won five straight games before Patterson won a victory, but the American took the following game with ridiculous ease. It is fair to say that no one hss, ever been so overwhelmed in a Davis cup challenge round. and Patterson must recognize his back hand strokes if he desires to retain a place in Davis cup tennis cir cults
 Johnston showed complete mastery of the game at all times and his fore hand drives to Patterson's back hand were almost always winning strokes.
