 For Russia

Riga, Aug. 1s.-Additiona1 issues have been raised in the Russian re- lief negotiations between Walter L. Brown, representative of Secretary Hoover, and M. Litvinoff, delegate of the Soviet government. 4 complete agreement may not be reached until the end of this week, it was stated to- day.

 clude Russians of all classes and the American Relief Association is to re- tain the right of deciding where relief shall be distributed.
 2.-The American relief representa- lives are to have complete freedom in travelling through or leaving Rus sia-
 The negotiations had been in a vir- tual state of deadlock upon these two questions
 Director Brown, following receipt of advivces from Washington. has re- ferred two additional points to the American government which have been raised in the course of the ne gotiations. A reply from Washing ton is not expected before Saturday.
 Litvinoff has been constantly strug- gling to get the distribution of the relief supplies into the Soviets hands. but Brown would not sumbih to this:
 The Bolshevik organ Nocy, charged that the Americans were not follow ing Humanitarian dictates, but had political aims in view.
 ttIf the Americans really wanted to help the famine sufferers the quick. est way possible is to make use or the food supplying mechanism that has been operating in Russia for sev- eral years" said Novy "If the Americans had no other object but helping the famine sufferers on the Volga, they would choose any method. They must meet the Soviet way or de- eide to end the negotiations.

Flagstaff Normal :. Grid Squad Meets
 Phoenix Saturday

The junior college of Phoenix Union high school will take its place in the athletic activities of the in stitution Saturday afternoon when the college students will put a foot ball team on the field to oppose the Flagstaff Normal school eleven. The game will be played at Riverside Park, beginning at o'clock and will be the first college game played in Phoenix in years.
 Much interest is being manifest in the game because of the reputed strength of the Northerners and the strong showing of the junior college team ill practice games with valley teams. It is the first year that the college has put a football eleven in the field.
 Several former Coyote stars will be seen in action when the squad faces the Flagstaff team in Saturdays $ game. Coach P. A. Venne, former di- rector of athletics at the Phoenix In dian school, has developed team of great offensive strength, with Joy, half back and end on the 1920 Coyote team, as the pivot. Joys plays half back for the junior college eleven and is making good with a yen- geance.
 The Northern Arizona normal boys will be making their first appearance in Phoenix in years Saturday after noon. They have shown unusual strength in games played with Northern schools this season and have hopes of landing high in foot ball circles of the state this fall.
 Coach Venne is driving his team at merry pace this week in antici- patton of a hard battle Saturday af- ternoon. Advance dope from the Flagstaff school is that the locals are in for a trimming but Yenne holds otherwise. At least he is willing to play the game before consenting to admit defeat.
 The college eleven will be well for tified in the new style of play, Coach venne having worked out series of open formations that have proved consistent ground gamers in practice games.
 The visitors also will use the aerial style of attack to a large extent. it is expected. They are said to be light for a normal school team but unu- sually fast, the coach sacrificing poundage for speed. .

Auto polo is a dangerous game at its best. especially when two speeding flivvers meet head-on or crash into the fence or other obstruc- tions.
 The wheels. axles. steering appar- atus and fuel tanks are provided with quick detachable mountings. giving the mechanics a free rein in case any part is broken during the game.

 The player stands on the running board, where he can jump to safety in case of accident. but the driver is seated behind the wheel. and every second counts when the gar turns over. Usually the differential on a polo car is locked to provide traction for either rear wheel in case one side of the car is lifted from the ground. The locked differential also helps to throw the car s-rofnd on the quick short turns neceSsitated by narrow playing fields.

Il PASO- PHOENIX ARM|ST|CE
 DAY CAME GREATEST FOOTBALL
 EVENT STAGED IN SOUTHWEST

Football enthusiasm in the Salt River valley will be in full bloom Frl- day, Nov. II, when the Phoenix Co., votes and Fl Paso Tigers clash at Riverside park for the Southwestern high school football championship.
 The Arnistice day game is the big gest prep school football event ever arranged in the Southwest and should do much toward placing football more prominently on the sport calendar of the state The game will not only bring the Southwestern high schools closer together, but it will gain rec ognftion for the Coyotes outside of the state and increase the already large following of the local athletes.
 With the first announcement that Fl Paso high school had been sched- uled to meet Phoenix high as one of the big attractions of the Industrial week program, Coach Robinson care fully planned his campaign. which will reach the climax one week from Friday.
 Coach Robinson is building two splendid teams at Phoenix high with either eleven capable of putting up a stiff, winning game against any high school team in the state. He has schooled each individual player and shifted his men until it is impossible to pick his lineup for the game against the champion Texans. He can shift to half dozen lineups and find the team effective under all con- ditionS.
 Last Saturday Coach Robinson's $ team proved a wonder squad with a punch every time it hit the line. The team proved that forward passing was not its weakest point, as had been eh n6 an offensive strength that surprised Tucson and may surprise Fl Paso and at the same time developed a few weak points which Coach Robinson was quick to note and remedy.
 The Coyotes will be idle Saturday. due to the canceling of the game at San Diego. When the news that the San Diego game was canceled was first noised around the campus it dampened the spirits of the rooters. who had hoped for a chance to play the "hilltoppers" and redeem lost prestige on the coast. Owing to con ference regulations San Diego was forced to cancel the game Saturday. leaving a post date open if Phoenix wanted to make the trip.
 Winslow high offered to come down for the open date Saturday, but. the time was short and the junior college had already booked game with Flagstaff Normal at Riverside park for Saturday afternoon. Coach Rob- inson is anxious to give his players little rest and at the same time cooperate with the other eleven in making the Saturday game success. In the event that Phoenix defeats Fl Paso Nov. II, the Coyotes may be booked for a post-season game with the Pacific coast prep school cham pions at Tournament park. Pasadena. | The Coyotes have defeated the

guests of their daughter. Mrs. Homer Chiddix.
 Mildred Davenport spent Saturday and Sunday in Phoenix with her father, F. D. Davenport.
 Con si derable excitement was caused Thursday evening, by the re- port that mad dog was seen at Mir Copuenger's place, southwest of Laveen. Such reports have been abroad before but in thie case the dog really materialized and was killed by G. Goree and his son, Will burn, before he had done any real harm.
 Friday night was ghost night at Laveen. Ghosts were everywhere black and white, large and small, short and tall; but they were espec- ially numerous in and around the school house where Miss Weger and Miss Nicolls were entertaining their pupils at Halloween party. One of the features of the evening was tAe trip through a tunnel to the cave of the Witches Promise. At the entrance to the, cave grew a tree bearing golden fruit. As the fruit was picked and broken open by each visitor a paper rolled out on which was written the fortune of the appli- cant. Other forms of amusement were biting apples on string, ap- ples floating in water, and a peanut scramble. Refreshments consisted of cake and ice cream, sandwiches, pop corn and candy.
 Contrary to the usual habits of ghosts, Mrs. Owings managed ito provide a real ghosts party for the first and second grades on Friday afternoon. The room was prettily decorated, and games, Jack-o-la Ian terms and refreshments made the lit- tie people happy.
