MESA HI ELEVEN
ONE Of FASTEST
TEAMS IN STATE
FOR FIRST YEAR

Mesa High football team has just
finished a very successful season
coming second to Phoenix for the
championship. and will defend that
honor against Winslow High in
post season game played on the Mesa
field tomorrow afternoon.
All due credit goes to Coach Will
dermuth for taking a team of play
ers with only one years experience
and developing them into a machine
which could get such results from
teams with longer experiences as
those of Tucson High and Flagstaff
Normal.
Mesa gridiron players covered
themselves with glory in every game
this year except that played with the
Phoenix Indian school. With half
of the regular team out of the game
with injuries, Mesa fought the In
dams for four of their touchdowns
but breaks in the game resulted in
three more. Mesa's regular team
could probably have withstood the
Indians splendidly but as it was the
Indians staged a spectacular track
meet.
The Mesa team viii suffer a little
from graduation this year. Spills
bury, captain and quarterback, will
be a big loss, but next year the place
will probably be filled by Bill Wal
lace the speedy little halfback, whose
ankle was broken in the middle of
the season. Wallace was a con-
sistent ground gamer and was never
thrown for loss, he could circle the
end and slip through the line and is
| the best interference runner on the
team.
Guthrie, right halfback. win also
graduate. His place win probably
be filled by Billy Barnett who has
played both end and halfback, or by
Randall who has proved a reliable
man at end, tackle and halfback.
| HILBERT, the fast left end who per-
haps caused more worry to the op-
posing teams than any other player
on defense is the other graduating
member. OF the stars to remain on
the team Jess Skousen stands head
| and shoulders above the rest, he is
| the heaviest and fastest man on the
/ team; the greatest ground gamer and
/ on defense, even the expression on
| his face was enough to stop the man
| carrying the ball dead in his tracks
| The game with Phoenix was the first
! time Skousen had played, and being
| new on the game he suffered a leg

! rest of the season. He has two
more years to play in high school and
will no doubt develop into one of the
| valleys greatest stars.
Newell the regular fullback is this
best punt kicker, a heavy line plung-
er, and makes a business of inter
| cepting the opponents forward
| cept for the loss of HILBERT. Wher
| Hibbert's arm was hurt during praC-
| tice, Big Bill Smith was put in his
place, as he is able to reach sis

end position or go back to center

State Game Warden
To Stock Reserves
With Wild Guineos

Arizona sportsmen viii welcome
the Announcement made yesterday
by Joe Y. Prochaska, state game
warden, that six dozen guiueas
have been shipped from the Riv-
erside Park Zoo in Hutchinson,
Kansas. to be distributed in the
mountain preserves of this state.
The domestic guinea win grow
into the wild game species within
a few years. The wild guinea is
classed as the greatest of game
birds by many of the foremost gun
clubs of the country.
The state game warden will
forward two dozen guineas to F.
Z. A. Kimball at Tucson to be
planted in the Catalina preserve;
two dozen win be shipped to
Deputy Sullivan at Globe for dis
tribution in the Pinal preserve and
ford to be planted in the Graham
mountains.
The birds, which were raised in
a semi domestic state, will be ac-
quired by the state without ex-
pense having been obtained il
trade for Arizona quail which
were trapped in districts whe
they were doing damage to the
crops.
1.-The planting of the bird viii
prove valuable from the sports
mans viewpoint" said Mr.. Pro-
chasl1a. ut is swift on the wing
and perhaps is thought more of
by the average hunter than the

WILDCATS WILL Be GIVEN
REAL TEST IN GRIDIROn
CLASH WITH COAST STARS

will be a battle between the two big
fellows to see whether a play can
go through or be stopped.
Barley is hard man to get
through or to do anything at all with,
He hurries passers and kickers, and
Suggett, Whittier's great half back
who made the mythical eleven, viii
find himself hammered, hurried and
blocked at every turn if Barkley can
get away from his man at all and he
generally manages to get away some
of the time if not all the time.
Suggett weighs $50 pounds, runs like
a streak, passes and punts well over
so yards so that if Barley, aided by
others in the front line. can hurry
his kicks and passes, Whittier will
find the going rough and Arizona viii
probably win.
Playing alongside Barley is Cap
tain w. w. Wofford of the Wildcats.
He is the smallest pilot in the entire
southwest, measuring only five feet
six over all and weighs in at 142
pounds. He is faster than a flash,
catches forward passes when they
appear to be impossible end helps out
the big tackle at every turn. In the
center of the line is Vance Clyr er,
one of Arizona's rally great cen ,ers.
Over at the left end is Mcclellan,
the man who dashed across the Texas
A. & NJ. goal line twice is one game
on their own grounds from forward
pass from Slonaker, last years All
southwestern quarterback The for
ward pass combination "Slonaker to
Mcclellan has become famous all
over the southwest. It scored upon
team which had been scored upon
on its own home grounds only once
before in seven wears
All Conference Players
Manzo, Hobbs, Broderick, Wiley,
Smith are men who have played at
top speed all season and among them
will be found some All-southwestern
players when that mythical team is
picked within the next week or two.
Manzo with his long dazzling runs
and his uncertain movements when
carrying the ball will worry any team
no matter how great it is. Hobbs
pluuges the line like a pile-driver
and his work on defense far out
classes that of any other fullback in
the whole southwest. Broderick is
a steady dependable back who can
always be depended upon TO do the
intelligent thing and do it quickly.
| Wiley and Smith are two big pound
ing guards, who have taken the heart
out of several lines already this year.
Clymer works between them, shift
ing first one way and then another,
getting through. hurrying passes,
! blocking kicks and creating confu-

always held the center of the line
solid against the plunges of the OPP
ponents. Halves who played center
when Smith was shifted to end is a
good man in the line, playing guard
in the other games.
Barnet and Scott and Jerry Lewis
alternately held down right end. But
in this line the finest in the state,
the bright shining star was Lefty
Phelps. Lefty was in every play in
all the games and often he could
carry the ball on tackle play for a
touchdown and plunges through he
never fell short of five yards His
part of the line was impa ssable on
defense and he often tore through
the line and laid the man carrying
the ball before he got we'll started.
There are a number of candida ties
for right end position for next year
all Of them of this years squad and
Mesa can start the season for next
year with eleven first team men. So
that the Jack Rabbits will stand as
good a chance as they will ever have

BASE RUNNING LOST
ART IN BIG LEAGUES

What was the matter with base
running in 1921?
Has the science of getting the
jump or the pitcher. thereby en-
aiding the runner to beat the throw
of the catcher become a lost art?
A glance at the major league rec
ords of last seaeon reveals the fact
that there was a mighty little base
running. p ayers who three or four
years back stole as many as thirty
bases, didn't reach the double fig
ures last summer
While the records make it seem
that the ball players are slowing up
such is not the case. The falling off
in base running has simply been
due to the conditions that now exist
and the style game that is being
used.
Last season the stolen base idea
was practically shelved. Because of
the lively ball it was figured the hit
and run was a. much better game to
play. One run didn't mean much in
1921. The stet II and the sacrifice
is the one run idea of baseball. The
hit and run gets them in clusters if
successful. That is the big reason
for the falling off in base running
records.
The lively ball and the great de-
sire TO emulate the deeds of Babe
Ruth, who became the idol of the
world because of his ability to hit
home runs is the other explanation.
Those who scout the idea of the live
~ ball need only to go back 10 years
in the records That season-191I-
Frank Baker led the American league
in home runs with nine. He was
called Home Run Baker" This sea-
son Babe Ruth led the American
league with So
Ty Cobb led the American league
in stolen bases with So in 1911. Seven
other players stole more than 10
bases and six players more than 30.
The lively ball and the nit and run
not lack of speed on the part of the
players, tell the story of the de-
cline in base running-B. E.

When the final whistle sounds
about $50 O'Clock this afternoon Ari-
zona football fans will know whether
the Wildcats rank with California
conference elevens of the southwest
pigskin warriors have been playing
over their heads.
The University of Arizona 1921
team, said to be the greatest football
team ever turned out at the state in
stitution will meet the Whittier Col
1ege team of California at Tucson
this afternoon in Arizona's first big
game, with a California team.
Whittier comes to Arizona today
with roster of star athletes who
will test the class of the Wildcats.
Both teams have strong offensive
and defensive lines, and scoreless
tie would not, be a bad guess.
Phoenix Boy Stars
When Arizona goes into the most
important game on its schedule to-
day with Whittier for the champion
ship of two conferences, its big right
tackle. Howard It. Barley of this
city, will be one of the mainstays on
the line. This is Barkley's third
year on the team and he has been
playing good football all season.
He stands over six feet tall and
weighs 100 pounds. He is one of the
hardest W i1dcats to handle in the
forward wall and will help Arizona
toward its last great victory for the
season if the gods are good and VIC
tory comes TO the red and blue team
down at Tucson. On account of
the Wildcats great record it seems
almost inconceivable that the Whit
tier college team. champions of the
Southern California conference will
be able to put over win.
Whittier has placed four men on
the mythical AlI-southern California
team and Barley will play opposite
one of them. His opponent is an
experienced man. three years of col
Iege football to his credit. He
weighs up close to Barkley and il
