 the high school athletics are
 perforce self financing. The only
 source of revenue for the whole
 calender of sports is football. We have attempted a more am-
 bilious schedule of gridiron
 events this year than ever before. "A. two-year contract with Fl Paso calls for a guarantee of $500 to them, we receive a like
 amount for a trip over there
 next year.
 We feel that we are offering to followers of amateur athletics and all lovers of clean sports a line array of contests on our home grounds. We have rear ranged the Riverside park ball grounds to form the best football | field Phoenix has ever had The grandstand is we'll situated near
 the. center of the west side line.
 ana ample parking space is af-
 forded. No one is allowed to ! stand along the side lines where | he will interfere with the view
 of those in the grandstand or machines.
 We therefore urge that you | keep the enclosed schedule of games in mind, particularly
 with Fl Paso and the Indians
 on Thanksgiving Day, and if you
 care at all for high school ath-
 letics, attend our games and
 boost for us at every opportun- l ity.
