COYOTES DOWNED. BY ALUMNI 13-6 IN FIRST GRID"
 GAME OF SEASON

Superior knowledge of the game greater tonnage and a seemingly never-ending string of substitutes were the three factors that combined to give the Alumni a 1s to 6 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes in the open rg football struggle of the season at hAstiake park yesterday afternoon. It was a same of many features. spar kllrr end runs. brilliant broken field running and hard smashes through the iine. combining with frequent attempts ~ the nasketbal style of play to give rooters a real afternoon of action
 Alumni hopes for a one sided vic tory were early exploded by the stone wan defense of their less experienced ard lighter opponents and an ofrense thnt was as effective as 1t was sur rrising. In fact. for few minutes during the first period. it looked all NoNote. A well-suStained drive swept tho Alumni off their feet. carried the oaA into the very shadows of tlpeIr tKoal and then across the lime-white marx Tor the first counter of the game.
 That WIS enough for half a dozen of the old-timers. who wearfed percepfi- o,y under Inc terrific driving mower of the High school machine. Substitutes went Into the game in a procession
 
 freSnened oy the appearance of SO many new players. the Alumni took a aeclded brace. began rushing the ball. and before tho half was completed had enovcd two mon across for touchdowns.
 Coach Rooinson's men had nt least nAt a dozen excellent scoring chances. but alter their first launch across the koal line seemed to lack the driving power needed to put across another marker. Twice during the last half the Coyotes were within their opponents. te-yard linc. only to lose the ball on downs or on attempts to use the for ward pass. Three other times they were within the 20-yard line.
 The excessive heat. however. worked greater disadvantage to the High school players than Co the Alumni. pri- unnrily because Coach Robinson did not havS half enough substitutes to keen rAcH with the changes made by the stars of days gone by. Nearly three f11 teams were employed by the vet orans Co score their victory.
 ~ rushing the ball the Coyotes suf- fered little in comparison to the Alum nL At open style of play they were Ter superior, successfully launching han dozen forward passes. One was intercepted and probably 10 were Nrounded. The Alumni failed to make styie.
 Coach Robinson introduced to Phoe- nix fans a colored youth named Rosser who in iine- -plunging ability excels anything turned out at the local school in seasons.
 RoSser's work in the opening game hls first in intcrscholastac circles-was easily the outstanding feature. espe- ciaily from the Coyote standpoint His ine plunging was equally as brilliant N as that Of Peters for the Alumni. He hita the line low and hard, picks his holes readily and is not easily thrown Tie rlowed for yards time after time NeStcrday with two or three tacklers ar bis side. He's a hard man to stop, forms fairly good interference for his backs and is in the game every min ute lighting for every inch of ground. |, kut his offensive work was no more X, brilliant than his defensive play. He <. was in every scrimmage, ft seemed. ' invariably stopping the opposition be- . fore or after it had plowed through the tlline
 ~ Giliiiand. captain. and Joy halfbacis. AR shared honors with Rosser from a - Coyote standpoint. It was Giltland's a F brilliant dash around end that pait inc bah in scoring position in the first quarter. Rosser then plowed through Euard for a touchdown on the first play.
 Peters. captain of the Alumni; Ilyan Duncan. Corpstein and Gorrau played good bah for the veterans.
