.HI-Y CLUB GIVES
BANQUET-DANCE
To Ell PAS0ANS
Turkey Spread Given at 7.
w. C. A. and Dance La
ter at Woman'S Club;
Chef Proves Hero

The Albuquerque 1l-1 cruz
gave a banquet at the Y. w. c. A.
and followed with a dinner dance
at the Woman's club last night in
Shonor of the high school visitors
from FL Paso. About the festive
board were gathered members of
the Hi-Y, football players of both
teams and the "sweethearts" of
both. The game was replayed
half a dozen times before the fl
nal course was served and the
speakers of both teams had their
inning to get up and tell the as
semblage what might have been"
The banquet might not have
been had it not been that Charles
Degele, chef at the Y. w. c. A.,
is a football fan and a great adj
lnirer of the local high school
players. The Hi-Y is supposed to
hold its dinners at the Y. M. c.
A. but for some reason the Y. M.
failed to deliver for this occasion
and the Y. w. G. A. volunteered
to come to the rescue, providing
Chef Degele could be induced to
prepare the meal. 1t was his day
Off" But learning of the cause
he gladly agreed to prepare the
banquet. At the banquet rising
vote of thanks was offered for
the "chef who had saved the day."
And, probably for the first time
in history, a chef was offered a
full throated high school yell"
After the banquet toasts were
offered and an octette and a quar-
tette offered musical entertain
, lnent. Each group gave its yell
for the other group.
Coach Luther Coblentz, of Ell
Paso, complimented Albuquerque,
said they have one of the best
high school teams in the south
west, are a great crowd of sports
men and have a team ranking
with Phoenix. He added that
since his team had to lose they
had rather lose to Albuquerque
than any team in the country.
Coach Addison S. Moore came
back with the statement that AL
buquerque had rather win from
El Paso than any other team.
This, he said, was not so much
because El Paso has so persist
emily defeated Albuquerque as be-
cause Ell Paso is always rated high
in football circles and because OF
the fact they are such splendid
sportsmen. He said there is al
ways more genuine pleasure in
defeating such a team as Ell Paso
than one which does not play as
thoroughly clean football or which
does not accept defeat with the
splendid grace Ell Paso does.
Captain Hugo Giomi, of Albu-
querque, told how much it meant
for him to make the first touch
I down in the game yesterday, as
he did He told how in the game
two years ago, with the score tied
and only two minutes to play, Ell
Paso had made triple pass
which netted the lone touchdown
of the game. Giomi had been
sucked over on the play and left
El Paso clear field.
Shortly after that he enlisted
in the United States navy and
served a year and a half. His
greatest ambition has been to
score the first touchdown for AL
buquerque against Ell Paso, to
wipe out that other play. Yester-
day was his last chance.
When he had finished FL Paso
ana albuquerque boys and girls
Joined in cheer for his success
which ratified the silverware and
dishes on the tables.
Captain Stanley Dawson spoke
for Ell Paso. He offered a splen-
did talk and was cheered almost
as loudly as Giomi had been.
Malcom Long and Irvan Scotten,
quarterbacks for Albuquerque
and Eel Paso, respectively, also
offered short toasts. Professor
John Burton addressed the meet
ing. The Marion Octette offered
vocal selections. Another quar-
tette sang and led in community
songs.
, After the banquet all present
'went up to the Womans' club for
the dance. The dance continued
until late last night and all en-
joyed a happy night. This was
particularly true of the Albu-
querque football players, tasting
for the first time the sweets Of
victory over FL Paso. The I'll
Paso boys, having the games OF
other years to look back to, were
not disturbed and enjoyed them
selves thoroughly.
