FATE OF POLES SEEN IN

PARIS, Aug. 6.-The Russian Boil

between that city and Danzig seemed
TO nave been checked for the time be-

Polish armies. Dispatches received here
appear to Indicate an Improvement in
the military situation in that sector of
the front,
Observers are inclined, however, to
look on the fighting near Brest- Litovsk,
east Of Warsaw, with some concern, as
the Bolsheviki have massed large forces
in an effort to break througnt there.
II Is felt that the outcome OF the bat
tie being waged in that region may de-
eide the fate of Poland.
1t Is possible the apparent slowing
down Of the Bolshevik attack in the
north may be due to difficulties en-
countered in bringing food, munitions

COYOTE ELEVEN TO MEET J. OF \.
 TEAM SUNDAY

Not since the big Alumni Coyote grid battle of two weeks ago has there been so much interest in athletics as in next Saturday afternoons game. when the local high school eleven will go up against the University of Ari- zona's second team.
 The game will be staged at Eastlake park, starting at o'clock sharp, Sat urday afternoon. and will be the second game the Coyotes have played so far this season. Coach Robinson of the high school said last night that the game would be the hardest of the en- tire schedule and his men would be in the best of trim for the contest.
 The University of Arizona's second team is composed mostly of freshmen, and Coach 2orter's eleven will have such players as Seaman. Bell. St. Clair, Marian. and other stars that are well known in the valley. Of course, foot ball is one of the great American games and so it is up to Phoenix high to keep the fans in this community furnished with this brand of sport.
 It is conceded that the Coyotes have the strongest football team they've had in years this season, and with the fol lowing schedule already completed il will mean that the local eleven will have a tough season before they annex the state championship.
 The Schedule
 Oct 23, University freshmen al | Phoenix.
 Oct. 30, Phoenix at Mesa

 Prescott high school and Flagstaff normal are both anxious to get game with Phoenix, and if the Coyotes decid to make the northern trip it will b Tor the post-season games as thei schedule is full up to Thanksgivinl day.
 There has been some talk in regar' to a game in Phoenix with Long Beact but unless the coast school will com here for a reasonable guarantee would be out of the question to con slider theft present demand.
