Phoenix will have four entries in the Border States tennis tournament starting at Bisbee Friday morning, according to arrangements made yes terday afternoon.
 Originally it was planned to have two Phoenix entries with Judson and Bennett representing this city. But the Warren district committee was anxious to see another Phoenix team entered in the tennis classic, with the following wire received yesterday afternoon by Dwight B. Heard of the Phoenix Tennis association:
 Bisbee, Ariz., May 10.
 Dwight B. Heard,
 Phoenix, Ariz.
 Have only two entries from Phoenix. Please stir them up.
 Assured of 40 players.
 F. M. BUCKWALTER.
 On receipt of the message Mir Heard immediately got in touch with the Phoenix tennis players and the well known valley sportsmanship came to the surface with a decision to send two teams to participate in the tournament, Mel Fickas and Mil ton Coggins making up team No. 2. Both Ffckas and Coggins are among the best known tennis players in the
 
 honor of the valley with c. A. Jud- son and Paul Bennett. Phoenix has never failed to foster good clean sports and regardless of what game calls full quota is always available

 TWO CONVENTIONS

Congratulating Phoenix on it's sue cess in winning the tenth annual con- vention of the United States Good Roads association, the United States Good Roads show and the Bankhead National Highway association, J. A Rountree, director general of the two associations, has sent the following letter to the chamber of commerce here with an assurance that he per sonally will boost the conventions from offices to be established in Phoenix by him early next year:
 Allow me to congratulate you and the Arizona delegates on your splen- did and successful campaign in win ming the tenth annual convention of the United States Good Roads asso- citation, the United States Good Roads show and the Bankhead Ma tional Highway association. which will meet in your city April A to 29 1922. inclusive. You certainly had an uphill fight to win over such strong competitors as Chattanooga. New Orleans, Greenville, $. C., and Fort Worth, Tex. The distance, the con dition of the country, and the belief that Phoenix was too small for such convention makes your victory more important and much greater than it would have been if any of the other four cities had won.

ARGUE APPEAL OF
 MAN CONVICTED
 ON FINGER PRINTS

Claiming that the court erred in. allowing finger print experts to dem onstrate before the jury how finger prints are developed and prepared. Alexander Baker and Louis Whitney yesterday argued the appeal in the case of Charles Moon, convicted of burglary on finger print evidence
 Counsel for the appellant held that experts should not have been per mitted to testify concerning other cases where the person charged with crime was convicted or acquitted on finger print evidence
 Since a jury could not be presumed to know of the science of finger prints, greater latitude was allowed the court in determining to what ex tent the experts be allowed to testify said George R. Hill, assistant attor- ney general for the respondent. The finger print was a new method of identification and the court had not
 erred in allowing the explanations made to the jury, he argued. MT. Hill declared that the Moon case was notable in that it offered the dearest finger print impressions ever obtained in any case in the United States. Usually the impres- sion came from painted or rough sur faces, while in this case the impres SlOn was rom the IHdTple sldu oI '" cash register, which made a perfect | basis. There were 31 points of iden-
 tification he pointed out. a number of 1 points which does not occur once in | thirty billion times, he said. The
 proof of presence was conclusive, he held.
 l The case was appealed from the su- ! perior court of Cochise county, where Moon was found guilty and giver from to 15 years. He was charge"
 with robbing a butcher shop of s200o
 Since his imprisonment pending ap
 peal he has attempted to escape from

 Tt is more difficult to subdue the soil in Utah than in Arizona. You do much with the rain you get under foot instead of the rain that comes overhead.''
 Greatly as he was impressed with the reclamation projects of the state. MT. Lyman said he was infinitely more impressed with the unusually brilliant flowers and the unusually brilliant women"
 That he has had occasion to get acquainted with both is demonstrated
 by the fact that he has been royalty entertained since he came here to tconduct the regular quarterly confer ence of the Maricopa stake of the l.. D. S church. which met in Mesa. More than 55 per cent of the mem
 bership was in attendance at what IS declared to be the record conference.

 this part of the state, he came to Arizona many years ago with his father. Francis M. Lyman, who came

ANNUAL TASK
 OF ADJUSTING TEAMS OPEN
Robinson Ranks Cornell and Penn State Best of East
 ern Grid Machines.
By ARTHUR ROBINSON

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The football season has ended for the players, but for the fans it has just begun. There is that most delicate task of ranking the teams to be attended.
 Lafayette, unquestionably. has ths best record of the year. It defeated Pittsburgh early in the season and on Thanksgiving day Pittsburgh held Penn State to a scoreless tie.
 Lafayette Questioned
 Lafayette obviously should be ranked above Penn State though there are many who still think Penn State had the best team in the East. Moreover, there are many who ques- tion the purity of Lafayette's foot ball atmosphere Some of its play CTS seem to be making a Cooks tour of the prominent football schools in search of athletic glory instead of a college education.
 We made statement a week or so ago to the effect that we were dis posed to eliminate Lafayette from all consideration of the years football honors because of the makeup of tne team. We have since heard from number of Lafayette's graduates and the dean of the college, all of whom resented our remarks. But having rather a formidable fund of informa- tion concerning some of Lafayette's players, we know of no reason why we should recede from our position.
 The Rankings
 l. Cornell and Pennsylvania State 1tied) -J.
 9 The Navy.
 3. Washington and Jefferson.
 4. Pittsburgh.
 5. Yale. ..
 6. Harvard.
 2. Princeton
 8. The Army.
 3. Dartmouth.
 Beyond this point we cannot go without feeling we are groping in the dark. The situation as a whole is in a scrambled condition. At any rate we submit our list for what it is worth.
