Probably q good many who get up

gressional Clubs annual reception in

which was q brilliant party, and very
much in the nature of a state func-

Senator from Missouri (who was
elected to fiji out the term Of the
able to defeat Breckenridge Long and
get himself elected for a full term

prominent divine. She is active on

the two or three seasons that she
has been here has been conducting

growing in popularity.
The first season 1t met at Mrs.
Elkins' house, then 1t WAS transfer

year 1t has outgrown that AMI Is be-

that Lent has no particular signif-

COYOTE-[ONG BEACH POSTSEA5ON. GAME HOPE IF FOOTBALL FANS F LOCAL MEL TING GAN DE ARRANGED

easier to clear the slate at home than on foreign soil. Robinson has the greatest team in the history of the school and victory over Long Beach at this time would force the coast schools to recognize Phoenix in the conference.
 The Long Beach team is a wonder ful working machine, but is far from the strong aggregation that dropped the Coyotes in the sea and threw the life savers away. By defeating Fl Paso Friday the Coyotes demonstrat- ed that Phoenix has a wonder team. The Coyotes outplayed the Pass City team at every angle of the game and offset. the weight advantage held by Fl Paso by superior team work and a line defense that held like a stone wall. If the Coyotes can offset a 10-pound weight advantage and still win they can go far toward wiping out the 1920 defeat.
 Fridays game proved that football will draw and a local game with Long Beach would be a bigger attraction and should tax the capacity of any valley park. The game could be played about Dec. 10, after the con- ference season closes. or could be held over until New Years day.
 It will take considerabl work to arrange the game and will necessl- tate more hard work after the game is scheduled, but it will be worth the effort both to the fans and the school. |. Permission to play the sgame must first be obtained from the school au- thorities and then a campaign must be inaugurated to book Long Beach or some equally strong coast team.
Arizona republican., 1921-11-15

Talk of post season football game in Phoenix will not down despite of- fcial statements that the football season will end with the Thanksgiv- ing game between the Phoenix h. dians and the Coyotes.
 There is little chance of sending the Coyotes to the coast for a post season game. but local grid followers are pulling strings to bring the coast team here to play the Champion Phoenix high squad. Football fans who have been following Coach Rob- insons team this year are anxious to see Long Beach make good on their promise to come here for game after the Coyotes made the coast trip.
 Long Beach buried the Coyotes under tidal wave that counted up to 102 points before the flood ceased, but the Coyotes of 1921 are far su- perior to the Coyotes of 1920 and the strength of Robinson's team this year cannot be disputed.
 With the proposed San Diego game called off and nothing booked for the Coyotes after the Thanksgiving day game, local fans are anxious to give the Coyotes a chance to redeem that 101 to 0 defeat. The game would IuGd4 IluClt u llC fdkACJ AAOAi dIl dd vertising standpoint and with the present team Coach Robinson could hold the seaside eleven.
 Phoenix high has a wonderful chance to show the coast schools how fast football has moved in Phoenix since 1920. If Phoenix hopes to break into the coast conference the sting of the Long Beach defeat must be first wiped away and it would be fal
