.LOS ANGELES PAPER. SAYS ARIZONA TEAM .|S STRONGER THAN
 WASHINGTON ELEVEN

Centre College went through her last workout for the Arizona game at San Diego Monday on the Coro- nado polo field Saturday. The Praying Colonels" look to be in splendid shape and opinion is freely expressed here that they will run up a heavy score on the Wildcats
 This game is of unusual interest to football fans generally in that it will find a typical western team, rather than championship one, pitted against one of the finest in the east. Tn the past the east west games have usually been between championship western elevens and representative teams of the east.
 In view of this fact it is reasonable to think that the Arizona team will take decisive beating. At the same | time there are many who believe the 1 Wildcats strong enough to hold and possibly defeat the Colons>s. They base their belief on the fact tlat by defeating Whittier the Arizona team showed itself but slightly inferior to 1 U. s. C. and the Trojans were the second strongest team in the west.
 In east-west games of other years conditions has played an important part in the showing made by the re- l | representatives have nearly always entered the contest in splendid shape 1 but the eastern elevens have either | gone stale or have been overtrained. With this in mind Coach Moran has been handling his men with gloves He has them in Southern California but a few days and has let them take things easy at all times. They came to San Diego yesterday and worked i out easily.
 1 Arizona, having had a great deal (
 experience with Southern California | climate, kept away from the sunny
 south until today. Today they raI
 signals and tomorrow will do tn
 same The 'Wildcats' look to be il
 superb condition and they figure |
 make the final quarter their stronges
 one.
 It would be a very strange thing
 Arizona should defeat Centre. Tn
 Danviile team. with Roberts, one o
 Walter Camps first ll-America1
 ends, and Bo McMillan, third All
 American quarter, is perhaps one 2
 the strongest teams that ever playe in the southwest and they will be a
 least a three te-one favorite MondaN
 At the same time the Penn State s University of Washington gam c should not be forgotten Washingto Q certainly is no stronger, if as stron - as Arizona, and yet the Lemon Vel T low held the Nittany Giants to . 21-to-0 score.
 7 If Washington could do this, whs [. can Arizona do to Centre? Tn x question will be answered to the sat
 isfaction of all Monday afternoon

The Wildcats know real football, and, what is more important still, know how to fight. They aim to start strong and finish stronger.
 For many years the University of Arizona has always met one of the strongest of the Southern California conference teams and they have never failed to give a mighty good account of themselves. They play rugged, hard football and whether they win or lose will give the Danville team a mighty tough battle.
 San Diego will practically close up shop to attend the game. The seat sale in the southern city has been unusually heavy and many Los Angeles fans are now in this city to attend the game The fact that Roberts has been selected on Camp S AlI-American makes the Centre team an unusually heavy drawing card Los Angeles Examiner.

Young Hockbone, the sensational Tucson lightweight. who meets Young Mike in a scheduled eight-round bout at the Coliseum this evening. is in the city ready for the fray. Hook bone will work out at the Coliseum during the afternoon and interested fans are invited to come down to the line on the colored lad.
 Young Mike has been working daily at the Coliseum and will lay off this afternoon to give Hockbone the stage. Mike is in good shape for the 24- minute grind and predicts he will stop Hockbone as he stopped every opponent who faced him this year. He does not expect to have things coming his way as soft as the other starts, but he is confident he, will stop the Tucson boy before the fans leave their seats at the end of the eighth stanza.
 The fans idolize the boy with the punch and Mike demonstrated his punching ability in his local bouts. This should be big number and one that will bring down the house.
 Tiny Refeld is also in town ready for the six-round number with Eddie Lovett. Tiny is always in condition for a fight and his workout at the Coliseum this afternoon win be more of a warming up than training routine. Lovett is anxious to make good for a chance to meet Arnold and break into main event class: he hopes to defeat Refeld decisively this evening to make good for his friends and admirers and clear his record with. the Prescott boy.
 The betting odds are running about even on the Hockbone-M Mike bout with Mike the favorite in some guar ters. Mikes knockout wallop makes him a favorite. but Hockbone's clev- erness and speed will balance Mike: batting average.
 Young Douglas holds a slight ad- vantage over Wildcat Johns in view of his recent knockouts. Johns is { tough boy, but he lacks the neces. sary punch to keep him on the top Douglas and Johns are down for foul rounds.
