PETE SAUERAND FRED MOOREME|ER MEET HERE NEXT FRIDAY EVENING

With the receipt of a telegram from Fred Mooremeier,. the Kansas City Demon, arrangements were completed last evening whereby a match was elinched with Pete Sauer and the date set for Friday evening. November 26. This news will arouse considerable in- terest among the sporting fraternity on this quiet Sunday morn and interest in wrestling will increase accordingly.
 Sauer is too we'll known to the wrestling fans of Phoenix to require any Introduction. Pete has flopped all corners with such clocklike regularity that local sports have looked upon him as a wrestling sls1ernan,. and until the story. was received here regarding his setback at the hands of the worlds s light heavyweight champion. Clarence Ecklund, the fans hereabouts were in clined to believe that he was well nigh unbeatable.
 However, Pete got '1lfs'' finally, but has returned to Phoenix to prepare himself for his next battle with Eek lund which he insists will take place in Phoenix. If the match with EckluRd can be negotiated, Phoenix will see the biggest wrestling event of the year.
 Friday night will witness the debut of postmaster of the grappling art in the person of Fred Mooremeier, who, by the way, has endeared himself to the sport fans of Kansas City as much as Pete Sauer has captured Phoenix. He has everything that the finished mat artist should have-youth. strength and a reSutation for gameness which is sec ond to none. Both men are equal in weight and are contenders for the light eztla.

COYOTE SECONDS PLAY MESA HIGH
 SIX TO SIX TIE

Mesa highs varsity football team Invaded Phoenix territory yesterday save battle to the Coyote second team. Mayed an uphill battle and got away with a tic score, 6 to G.
 roach Venne's warriors had all the better of the argument from a ground gaining standpoint but lacked the final driving power to put across a victory
 The visiting players fought with their backs to the wall and when Coyote Kitten score seemed imminent showed a stone wall defense that failed to make itself evident only at critical periods.
 Fully three-fourths of the game was contested in Mesa territory. Three times during the fray the ball was down on the Mesa goal line. Once the Coyote reserves failed by less than a foot of putting across their second touchdown, while on numerous other occasions they seemed destined to break the knotted score
 After scoring it's touchdown Tn the second period, Mesa was never again dangerous. Only once during the final period did they succeed in carrying the ball into Reserve territory and then they lost 1t on downs
 It was truly a second team in every sense of the word that gave battle to the Gateway city players. Not a mem Der of the varsity squad was in unl- form, whether or not regular players.
 The Kittens played brilliant football at intervals. Their tackling, for the greater part was low and hard. They also ran good interference for the man carrying the ball. but their offensive strength broke at crucial moments. The team seemed to lose all of it's dash and power when near the goal line, more because of it's own fault than because of any great defensive power of the visitors
 Vennes mon started scoring early, sending across their first and only touchdown in the first quarter. At this point it appeared that the game would develop into a walkaway for the To- calls. The goal after touchdown failed when tho ball struck crossbar and bounded back to the field.
 Tn the next quarter Mesa went over for a touchdown and the try at goal went wide of it's mark. For the re- mainder of the game the two teams raced back and forth up and down the field. The advantage was all with the locals, but they could not score Mesa forwards invariably smothered Reserve plays before they were well started when their goal was threatened.

The new promoters, Templin and Keen, are both business men of Phoe- nlX and are making arrangements to handle big crowd at the open air arena. Modern heating equipment will pc installed to make the arena com fortable and keep the chill night air away from the fans and their s;oIicy Of Ladies Free" will bring out a large gathering of the female of the snecies.
 The match, which will be held at American Legion arena, formerly Tal- ly s Arena, will be the forerunner of q series or high-class elimination matches to furnish the most logical oppone nt for the light heavyweight champis.n. Ecklund, who has promised to come to Phoenix to show his little bag of tricks. The new management will go to any length to bring the best wrestlers avail- able to Phoenix and if the game re- ceives the support, this town promises 10 be the Mecca for the worlds best mat artists this winter.
 Another policy of the management will be to stage two or more good box ing bouts as preliminaries to the main event as it has been found that there Is a dearth of good material here for these events among wrestlers and many fans have been in the habit of sleeping through the preliminaries in the past. The fans are in favor of the box fight -ers and some good boys have been signed up to appear under the manages ment of Templin and Keen.
 Ringside seats will he placed on sale at Doyle's cigar stand today and the advance safe of choice reservations .7romises to be exhausted long before Friday night.

Grammar Schools Take Interest in
 Athletic Games

The younger generation is rapidly breaking into the lime-light of the sporting world. and even in the Salt River valley the grammar schools are playing the many athletic games &C., cording to rules and regulations. It has been noticed from time to time. that the smaller schools have put up better contests than some of the much larger institutions of learning. This is due to the fact, no doubt, that the young folks have a keen interest in the various games, and show wonder full spirit in their undertakings.
 |. Of course. since athletics have be- come a great part in educating the youths to manhood, showing the good qualities in clean sports, it has de- rived much interest among the young CT students who so enjoy the great outdoor life. Perhaps the young folks are looking forward to the time when l they'll enter some larger school, and wish to be in readiness for the op- portunity of making some big team, but anyway, it won't be long before the star squads of today, will be out chased by the advancing athletes of tomorrow.
 However. now that all the schools in the valley are participating in some line of athletics, it is necessary for
 
 petitive games, and in so doing it has come to the attention of many inter ested sportsmen. H. Welt, IT., who deserves much credit for his achieve ments in outlining the work for the Phoenix city schools as physical di- rector, has organized among the in- stitutions many strong teams, that will hold their own in any outside contests that will be arranged The 1 Monroe, Adams and Kenelworth l schools all have splendid teams in basket ball. Indoor baseball, volley l ball. for both the girls and boys. While these schools are playing 1 competitive games between each l other" MT. Welt said, "the other schools in the valley are very anxious to get games with the Phoenix schools, it might be that games could be ar ranged in the near future, if the of | ficials Of other schools would get in direct touch with the principals of the 1 school team they wish to play. This will, indeed, be 8 great help to all 1 schools, if the principals will match games with each other. for it win not only give such schools as Glendale. Peoria, Pendergast, Creighton, Osborn, Roosevelt, Washington, Madison, AL hambra. LIaveen, and many others who are desirous of games, opportunity to become closer related in athletics, but will make keen competition among the schools in deciding the chanpsnn-
