WEBER AND HILL
 MATCHED FUR 10 ROUND MAIN GO. FRIDAY EVENING

What promises to be one of the pest boxing cards which has been pulled off in Phoenix for some time IS in store for Friday. night at the Arizona Athletic clubs ,arena.
 For the main event, Matchmaker Williams has secured the services of Johnny Weber of San Francisco and Freddie Hill of Fort Worthy, Texas.
 Local fans are more of less familiar with Weber's class of fighting. His record shows draw with Jimmy Duffy. one of the topnotchers in the lightweight division and a decision over Harry Pelsinger, whose reputa- tion also is well known. On the Labor day card here Phoenix fans saw Weber administer the sleep tablet to Eddie Mccarthy. after rac- ing the St. Louis boy around the ring thl rough eight rounds.
 With Freddie Hill as Weber's op- ponent however. different fighting tactics are assured. Both boys are of the style of fighters who will stand in the middle of the ring and "niIt." They both are lighters" that the fans like to see, not footworkers.
 Hill is credited with four decisions over Tommy Carter. lost one to Tommy and fought him one draw. He is the boy who gave Y.,urg France one of the hardest battles Of his career at Miami two years ago.
 Freddie arrived in Phoenix today and will work daily at the athletic clubs arena between 5::30 and 6:30 p. m until the day of the figh-.
 Weller, now in Los Angeles. will reach here from the coast city on Thursday.
 Manager Williams also announced that he has matched Billy McCann to meet the winner of Friday nights go.
 A good preliminary card will pre- cede the main event and will be made up of two six-round and one four round contests.
 Young Mike and Kid Mendoza and Young Arnold versus Tiny Rayfield of Prescott will go the six rounds, while the four-round bout has not yet definitely been filled, because Man ager Williams is determined to en- gage the best material possible.

150 ON HAND FOR INITIAL WORKOUT
 BY COYOTE ELEVEN

Football at Phoenix Union high school has improved greatly in pop ularity for yesterday afternoon over 150 Coyotes were seen tramping over the gridiron at the school athletic field. It is supposed that before the end of the week there will be twice that many out for the varsity eleven.
 Coach Robinson was on the field with his men at 4:15 sharp and with the old pep" and ginger. started them off with a good workout. Much to the surprise of those. present was the appearance of Husky "Speck" Betts. an alumni of P. H. S.. and also one of Stanford university's varsity linemen. who will return to Leland Stanford university shortly before Oct. l. to begin the season with the coast schoo. Betts is acting as an as- sistant coach to Robinson, and will do lot toward developing material for a championship squad before leaving.
 Many other former students were present to see the boys run through practice on the first night out, and from the looks of the candidates 1t is the best bunch of football warriors that the Coyotes have had a years. Speed will no doubt be a very inn pOrlanl ldcI0I WILT OOdC4 INob1ISoit in selecting his team to represent the Red and Black this season. While there are great number of heavy men out, some of the smaller but faster men will more than likely be favored for backfield work
 The hardest position on any foot ball team is that of quarterback, and Head Coach Robinson should find it very easy this year to develop good quarter. A number of the old mea on last years squad showed up on the field yesterday afternoon, and they will sure have to work hard to hold down their position of last season. with so many new recruits on the job.
 Joe Doran, graduate manager. was out looking over the boys while they were going through forward passes and he stated that he had already started drafting the Coyotes foot ball schedule for the season So far the high school has arranged games with such schools at U. of A. fresh men, Tucson, Mesa, Prescott. Fl Paso and San Diego high schools. the Alumni and Phoenix Indian school. The games with Fl Paso and San Diego are now awaiting the date to be played and just as soon as these schools send in the dope stating when San Diego is to meet the Hill toppers in San Diego. everything will
