Declare Modern Camping Ground
 For Tourists Badly Needed Here

Declaring that tourists travelling overland in their own motor cars soon will begin to avoid Phoenix unless there is a marked improvement in what are said to be inadequate camping facilities provided them in this city, R. A. Waters of Bartlesville, Okla, registered many complaints concerning the public camping ground near Eastlake park for the use of which, he says, 50 cents a day is far too much.
 Just before Mir. Waters, with his wife and two sons, departed from the camping ground, he registered the following complaints concerning the grounds provided for overland motor tourists:
 That the toilet facilities are very unsatisfactory.
 That only four small gas plates are provided for all the people at the camp and this number has proved quite inadequate.
 That there are no accommodations for bathing nor for washing clothes. That the camp is not properly po- Heed. He says there have been fre- quent losses of tires, tools and other property.
 That there is no enclosure or pit for the repairing and overhauling of cars.
 That there Is no building provided as recreation center where tourists can find magazines, road maps, CT entertainment for children. He declares that he has visited many other cities, both larger and | smaller than Phoenix, where no charges is made for facilities far in excess of those offered the tourists here. In some places, he says, there l is a charge of 25 cents a day, but in such cases, he declares, there are adequate facilities for the overland 1 traveller.
 Webster Nathan, who arrived over- land from Canton, Ohio, and camped
 at the municipal camping ground in ] Phoenix, also registered a complaint
 concerning the facilities offered in
 this city.

Duke Slater Best
 Tackle Who Ever
 Covered Gridiron

"No All-American team will be complete unless it includes Duke Slater" So says Coach Rockne of Notre Dame.
 No better tackle ever trod west ern gridiron.'
 That is the opinion of all the ex- perts in the west.
 This fellow Slater just about beat any team single handed in the only contest we lost" continues RoclSne.
 Realizing the great strength of Slater, and the fact that he knew how to use that strength to intelii- gent advantage, I had four of my players massed around Slater throughout the game.
 occasionally my boys would stop the big tackle, but those times were the exception.
 Usually he made such holes in my strong line that Fullback Locke would go through for long gains, often standing straight up as he ad vanced with the ball.
 The experience of Coach Rockne was only what other western mentors were up against. In every game Iowa played, no opposing tackle was able to make the slightest headway. In fact, other teams usually burned up three or four men in an effort to stop Slater.
 Bob Zupke. coach at Illinois and one of the most resourceful in the business. adopted tactics similar to those employed by Rockne. but with no more success.

UPPER CLASSNEN IF
 HIGH. SCHOOL ID PLAY
 CAME IF PUSH BALL

Push ball, one of the most popular of all army games, will be introduced !n Phoenix this afternoon when upper classmen of Phoenix Union high school will do battle with a giant push ball, especially imported for the purpose, to determine athletic su- premacy. The push ball game will supplant the annual tug-of-war and school officials hope to make it a yearly feature. The game will be played on the high school athletic field, beginning at 2:30 o'clock.
 The push ball, standing six feet high and weighing 160 pounds, was brought to Phoenix from Los Angeles especially for this afternoons game between teams representing the junior and senior classes.
 Teams are selected according to tonnage. Each team is allowed 4,00O pounds, there being no limit to the number of players to be engaged pro- viding the total team weight is with in the prescribed limit.
 Henry Village, full back on the Coyote team. will captain the senior squad, and Bill Friend, tackle on the football team, will lead the juniors night, their average weight being nearly 154 pounds. Twenty six men were chosen on the junior squad.
 The public is cordially invited to witness the game. No admission charge will be made, 1t was explained. All persons interested in sports are urged to take their kodaks. for the game will afford them plenty of op- portunity to get comic snapshots.
 R. R. Robinson, athletic director at the school; will referee the contest and five judges and two time-neepers will be selected from the junior col lege and faculty. The game will be di- vided into two halves of 15 minutes each with a five minute rest period between halves The object of the game is to push the ball over the opponents goal, the team making the most goals in the two periods being declared the winner.

tourist concerning the poor camping facilities in this city" re declared. But decided to put up with them in order to visit the beautiful capital of Arizona. If camping facilities were suitable l would like to stay here with my family for several weeks, but can not afford the expense of taking the five members of my family to a hotel for that length of time nor consider it
 advisable to rent house for so short
 period. I guess the only thing to do
 is to keep on moving"
 Similar expressions of dissatisfac- tion were voiced by others at the mu- nicipal camping ground.
 "The officials of Phoenix could well take a tip from other cities" declared another camper. For instance, the camping grounds at San Antonio. Tex, are provided with a big com
 munity house furnished with a piano and photograph. There are road
 maps and magazines for the visitors
 and there is man in charge to give
 information concerning roads and
 routes. Hot and cold shower baths
 are furnished and there are facilities for washing clothing. There also is
 sufficient number of gas plates for all campers and tables and chairs and other conveniences are provided Similar conditions exist at Fl Paso. Tucson. although only recently open ing a camping ground for overland travellers, has facilities there to make the tourist feel comfortable and well come"
 1 It is stated that plans are now be- | ing considered to convert Christy Acres into a municipal tourist park which will be on a par with any in
 this section of the country. But at
 present the overland tourists seem to | tc finding considerable fault with the l facilities offered in Phoenix.

ARIZONA ELEVEN
 TOPLAY CENTRE
 + TERMS RIGHT

A definite offer from San Diego is being awaited by athletic officials of the University of Arizona before if nally agreeing to meet the Centre college team in a game in that city December 25, according to informa- ton from Tucson late last night. It was understood, unofficially, that the administrative board of the univer- sity favors such game and will give it's approval once arrangements reach the final stage.
 It is known that the San Diego committee is still intent upon getting the University of Southern California team to San Diego for the Centre college game, notwithstanding two refusals by the Los Angeles school to accept terms offered them.
 The proposal to the Wildcat eleven was made, it is believed, to give the San Diego committee an "out" in the event that the U. $. c. eleven would not accept terms. The Arizona team is second choice for the big game. The team continues in training in anticipation of the Centre college game but negotiations must be closed at an early date, it was intimated last night, if the team is to continue practice.

Magnates Seek Improvement In
 Major Baseball

Baseball in the majors has been retrograding for the past five years.
 That is the opinion of the owners. public and press. The magnates are naturally all fussed up about it.
 The game isn't as snappy. The pitching has been off color. In gem eral the standard of ball has been considerably below former years.
 The magnates are of the opinion that players are not being developed rapidly enough. They seek more leeway in this feature of the game.
 It is said there has been a quiet agitation going on since the close of the season, for decided raise in the player limit. They want it placed at 150 men. Also they desire draft rule that will meet with the favor of the minors of higher classification.
 The. present limit is 40 men with the right to hold only eight under option. This is not believed to be high enough in order to keep up the standard of the game.
