 More Important Yearly
 His concern would not be justified, however. Unlike other structures. the edifice of Sport is stronger for the fact that 1t grows in the weight or importance as it mounts upward.
 Athletics during 1922 were con ducted on a sounder basis than ever before and enjoyed by a constantly expanding army of devotees. A crowd of 1000 was a conventiona1ty- At the Harvard-Yale football game 8O,- 900 were in the stands, and easily that number witnessed the Leonard-Tend- d. Ter bout for the lightweight champion ship. An average attendance of 3s,- 900 viewed the world series, and only the seating capacity of the PoIo Grounds prevented larger turnouts.
 Outstanding Achievements
 From an international standpoint the year perhaps lacked many of the outstanding accomplishments Of it's ,imrn ediate predecessor, but it was not taItogether without it's big moments or this kind There was, for instance, the victories of Tilden and Johnston, fin defending the Davis Cup against the tennis experts of the world; the winning of the diamond skulls at Hen Hey, England. by Walter Hoover; the turning back of the foreign invaders bata Brookline by Jess Sweetser Tn winning the national amateur golf championship, and the successful! de- fense by the Meadowbrook "big four of the international cup against the Argentine poloists.
 Those were the dominant figures of the athletic year, in addition to George Sisler. Rogers Hornsby ana John McGraw in baseball and Gene Sarazen in golf. Singularly enough however, football, boxing and racing were minus their usual quota of great

Patterson and James O. Anderson, of Australia, in the singles and only the doubles victory of Patterson and Pat O'Hara Wood over Tilden and Vim cent Richards prevented an ATneri- can cleanup.
 A few weeks later Tilden and Johnston met in the final round of the national singles championship, sole survivors of a field that included Patterson, Anderson and O'Hara Wood, of Australia; ZenZo Shtm1zu, champion of the Orient; Manuel A1on- so, champion of Spain, and his broth CT, Jose, among others. The only ab- sentees of note were Colbert and Co., chet, of France, and neither was as strong as the two Australian leaders and Manuel AionSo.
 Tilden earned the title by defeat ing Johnston in a great fve-set match. but the question of individual su- premacy remains in the air, since Johnston thrice defeated Tlden in previous matches and showed the bet ter form in the Davis Cup challenge round.
 American eminence, however. was confined solely to the male of the snecies. Mrs MolIa Mallory again demonstrated her superiority over her American field by disposing of Miss Helen Wills, the child from Frisco, in the national championship and ether tournaments, but was beaten in straight sets by Mile Suzanne Leng- len. the French prima donna Of the courts, in straight sets at W1mple- don. Mile. Suzanne thus preserved her right and title to the "or1o sin- gles- championship.
 The East versus West matches. in which Johnston scored twice over TiIden. witnessed a. division of spells, inc West winning in the early season and the East later at Forest Hills.

Basketball Game
 Is More Popular

The ever-increasing popularity of basketball was again in evil dence during the 1921-22 season. Competition was keener and crowds larger than ever before. Among the colleges Princeton came into it's first intercollegiate title by beating Pennsylvania in a pIayoff for the championship, the teams having finished the lea que season in a dead heat. Illi- nois was generally recognized as the leader of the Western col leges.
 Among the professionals the Original Celtics seemed to have the edge. at least as far as the East was concerned. National amateur hOnOrs went to the Lowe and Campbell five of Kansas City.

Skating-Hockey
 Had Big Season

Of the great fields that entered the various skating champion ships, William Steinmetz and Art Stan were pre-eminent, Steinmetz having a clear lead over the anna teurs and Stan over the profes- Sionals-
 Steinmetz, however, was cha1- Ienged by Roy McWhirter, who won the national outdoor title only to lose international honors to his rival. Joe Moore, of New York. won the international in- door and Canadian outdoor titles, but suffered a lapse of form late in the season
 The Westminster team, of Ros- tom, was generally recognized as the best of the hockey outfits, but no champion among the colleges was definitely established.

700 In Regiment
There are 700 cadets in the regi>
ment. They are divided into two bat
talions, one consisting of upper class
men who have had previous training
and the other made up of freshmen
and boys who have had no training.
For every hundred cadets there is a
faculty officer to instruct them. The
cadets themselves are given officers
commissions insofar as discipline
may best be maintained.
Connected with the regiment 4:
one of the finest cadet bands in the

establishment of the Junior reserve
officers training corps and the only
thing that prevents its immediate
establishment is the delay in federal
appropriations. The establishment
of the junior r. o. T. C. unit here
will entail the furnishing by the gov
ernment Of additional equipment for
military work.
The cadet corps also comes under
the jurisdiction of the Arizona Nor
NAL and High school cadet commits
sion, consisting Of the state super
intendent of public instruction. the
adjutant general and one other mem
ber selected from among the tax
payers. Under this head, the cadets
of the Phoenix High school are or
ganized as the Second regiment,
there being large enough number OF
cadets to meet the regimental re-
quirements. BY state law. military
training in the high schools is com<
pulsory.
Ranks High
Phoenix High schools regiment OF
cadets has shown by past perform
ances that it is one of the best or
ganizations Of its kind in the coun-
try. General Pershing himself, after
AOFACNAAA6 tAC AONdA NOA R1p SldlCA llitlL
he had never reviewed finer cadet
outfit. He praised the manner In
which the training work has been
conducted and was generally enthu-
siastic over the results which have
been obtained.
In fact. since the military work
was taken over by Capt. Claude De-
catur Jones and Lieut.. w. w. Car
penter. after the war, it has been
made really complete military or
ganization, and as such, highly eff
ficient.
Heading the organization Is the
principal Of the school, Claude
Decatur Jones, who acts in the ca
pacity of commanding officer. while
not engaged in work attached to his
position in the academic department
of the school. In the military con-
nection of his duties, Mr.. Jones is
ably assisted by w. w. Carpenter

military TRAINING HAS PROVED
To BE WORTH WHILE AS FACTOR
IN PHOENIX UNI ON HIGH SCHOOL

One of the greatest factors in the
physical and moral development OF
the boys of the Phoenix high school
is the military organization under
which they work and which dur
ing the past year has reached its
highest point of development. The
military training which the boys
receive is fitting them for future
leadership and making Of them ap-
preciative citizens Of the United
States
Heading the organization is not
a group of so-called junkers or mil
itarists, but members of the faculty
who before anything are educators
and who are qualified for military
instruction work through their serv-
ice as officers in the u. S. army dur
ing the last war. All Of these men
have the interests of the boys at
heart and act as their guides and
advisors in the various activities
OF the cadets.
1t would be a worth while expert
ence for any citizen Of Phoenix to
visit the high school some morn
ing between 8 and 9:45 o'clock, when
the military drill is carried on. In
this way can best be learned the
value OF this work which is building
up the mental and physical charac-
ters Of the cadets while they are
at a formative period of life, when,
without discipline, they are apt to
fall into slovenly habits.
Popular With Boys
And military training is popular
with the boys. They respond to the
efforts which are being made in
their behalf with gratifying alacrity
and are quick to seize the fact that
the work is an important adjunct
to school life.
Phoenix high school cadet corps is
under both state and federal con-
troll. OF the organizations under
special regulations As of the u. S.
war department, 1t is the largest
in this district, including Texas, and
New Mexico and Arizona. The gov
ernment under this regulation fur
nishes rifles, belts, bayonets and the
target ammunition for the use Of the
cadets in carrying out certain work
specified under the regulation. Tha
school has already qualified for the
