DUKE CITY HIGH
TEAM READY FOR
PASS CITY CAME

The albuquerque high school
football squad leave for Ell Paso at
1890 O'Clock this morning. There
are eighteen players making the
trip and several of the students are
accompanying the team. The high
school will be out to give the team
a royal send-off.
The local gridmen came through
the Indian school game without a
serious injury and are In the best
of shape with one exception. Joe
Benjamin, who sustainted bruised
hip in practice, has been forced to
leave the game for the rect of this
season. However this bad luck be-
fore the game will not prove so
very serious as there are others to
fill his place.
Coach Moore's pupils have prac-
ticed every morning and afternoon
this week in preparation for the
Turkey day contest, AS strong
lineup as has ever represented AL
buquerque high on the gridiron this
year will face the Gate City players.
This game will be one of the most
closely contested of the season and
will be the last chance of each team
to fight for their school on the
gridiron this year. Both teams are
doing their very best to make their
final game a grand success,
The Ell Paso schedule has been
much the same as that of Albu-
querque in that it has been full of
disappointment. Last week Ell
Paso and Las Cruces played
through a tight bame to a 90 tie.
However, the Texas city boasts a
strong team and expect to give the
luke City team the stiffest tussel
on their card. This game will be
the connecting link between Albu-
querque and many other schools
and will be a direct comparison
with Las Cruces high school.
=. large aiority of the team will
stop off at Las Cruces to attend the
Y. M. c. A. conference being held
there on their return to Albuquer-
que. The rest of the squad will re-
turn home the last of the week.
The lineup that will very prob
ably go up against Ell Paso Thurs
day is: Foraker, l. c.; Wilson, !. t.;
Marion, |, g.; Dinelli, r. g.; Coen,
