HIGH WARRIORS
RETURN WITH :
SCALPS At BELT
Round Valley Succumbs to
The Tune of 6 to 0. st.
Johns Squad Retires With
Odds Is to 6 in Favor of
WinslOW

WinslOw High captured both foot
ball games on it's whirlwind trip over
the weekend, winning from the
Round Valley boys by score of s
to and from the st. Johns squad
25 to 6.
The Round Valley contest was slow
on account of the poor condition of
the field. About three inches of sand
covered the field making it possible
for quick maneuvering on the part
of either team
Rushing made the only touchdown
of the game in first quarter running
around right tackle. Unlike the
Flagstaff team the Round Valley boys
line was impregnable, and the local
squad failed to make much headway
with straight line plunges, which
were most effective in the first game
of the season. The Valley warriors
held our braves once on their five
yard line for four downs.
Winslow played consistent football
throughout the game The oval was
never within it's forty-yard line. The
line was exceptionally good on the
defence. The backfield was slow but
this was unavoidable on account of
the sand.
Rushing at full back, Hubbard at
left half and Janeway at left end
played stellar football.
The field at St Johns was in good
condition and the local backfield was
able to make long gains with end
runs. Hubbard made two touchdowns
around right end; Rushing made the
third in the same way; and Bob
Evans made the fourth with an off
tackle run. Hubbard dropped kick
ed from the 15-yard line after the
fourth touchdown in the third quar-
ter, boosting the score to 25 points.
Coach Porter substituted all his
players in the st. Johns game at the
end of the first half The score at
that stage of the contest was 18 to 0.
Hubbard, Bob Evans, Hensley, Rush
ing and Clark were the outstanding
players of the Winslow squad in the
contest Bob Evans, Rushing, and
Hubbard went around end for long
gains; Hensley at tackle played a
stellar game; and Clark maneuvered
the team with the skill and head
work of veteran.
The Round Valley squad outweigh
ed the local aggregation, and the st.
Johns warriors weighed about the
same as the local braves.
Coach Porter stated that the Win
slow boys were we'll treated on the
trip and that the hospitality of both
Round Valley and st. Johns was ex-
cellent To say the least the trip
was a brilliant triumph for WinslOw

PROGRAM AT HI ASSEMBLY

An impromptu program was given
at the High school assembly last
Friday instead of the Junior class
entertainment which was postponed
until today on account of the absence
of some of the participants who were
away on the football trip.
The first number on the program
was a piano solo, Souvenir, by Miss
Evelyn Proctor, who played this piece
with much tonal expression. Mr.. j.
E. Kyle read a little poem called "A
Nautical Experience. This was a
very pleasing number and received
an enthusiastic response from the
students. The girls glee club sang
Morn Rise, which was we'll done,
all the voices blending into a harmo-
nious ensemble. A number Of songs
were also sung by the student body.
Mrs. Grady Gammage will have
charge of the program next Friday.
Mrs Beatrice Duvall Liljedahl, who
has an enviable reputation as sing
er on the Atlantic coast, will sing a

RUIZ CHARGED
WITH MURDER; HELD
FOR INVESTIGATION

Jesus Ruiz, who is one of the de-
PENDANTS mentioned in the Montoya
murder case complaint and who skip
ped to parts unknown about the time
that Emma Montoya died, is now lodg
ed in the city Jail.
Deputy-Sheriff Walker returned
Sunday morning with him from Phoe-
nix, where he was taken into custody
by the Maricopa county officers.
Ruiz will be arraigned tomorrow
before the justice of the peace. 1t
is likely that charges of murder will
be preferred against him.
The complaint, which was issued
on August "a as a result of the find
ing of the coroner's jury impaneled
to investigate the death of Emma
Montoya, charged eight men with
murder including, Willie Rodarte,
Joe Garcia, Ricardo Trujillo, Sam
Duran, Luiz Otero, Manuel Chavez
Victorio Gonzales and Jesus Ruiz.
The coroner's jury returned a YER
dict that Emma Montoya came to her
death from violent treatment at the

W|NSLOW FOOTBALL SQUAD
INVADES H0LBROOk TODAY

Football squads of the Holbrook
and the WinsIow high schools will
clash today on the formers field.
According to the dope this should
be the hardest game of the confer
ence for the local team as result
of the drubbing the oil city aggrega
tion administered to Gallup last Sat
urday, winning by the score of 18 to
g. 1t is reported that Gallup has
practically the same lineup this
year as last when the pigskin chasers
of that town romped on WinsloW pill
ing up a score Of 20 to 0. Consider
ing the victory of Holbrook and the
defeat of Winslow last year by Gal
lup it is evident that the local ag
gregation meets formidable op-
ponent.
Coach Porter expects hard strug
gle but feels confident Of the outcome.
The local boys came out of the games
last week in the best of condition,
and with the experience of their three
games they should play winning foot
ball even against considerable odds.
A large number of Winslow stu
dents and fans are expected to attend
the game since it is holiday in the
schools.
The following players went to
Holbrook: Bender, Hensley, Kelly, G.
Evans, Wood, Thornton, Tully, Jane
way, Hubbard, Clark, Holm, Rushing,
B. Evans; substitutes: Smith, Chase,
Dare and Edwards.

WALKING ACROSS COUNTRY
ON ONE LEG AND CRUTCHES

Walking from Los Angeles to
Rochester, N. Y. on one leg.
W. G. Stebbens, 18-year-old young
man, whose home . is at Augusta,
Kansas, and who lost his left leg in
a train accident when he was 13,
walked into Winslow, Saturday even
ing with crutches on his way from
Los Angeles to Rochester, where he
plans to go into the shoe shining
or the cigar-store business. The
young man sells postcards of him
self, and in this way he hopes to
make enough money to enable him
to set in business.
He started from Los Angeles on
August IA, and he does not expect
to reach his destination until the last
of next year. He spent II days at
the Grand Canyon, walking down the
rugged Bright Angel trail on Sep
tember 80 and coming up the next
day. On his journey thus far his
crutches have been worn off at
least five inches, and he has had his
boot half-soled three times. He car
ries a 52-pound pack with him.
Stebbens got a thrill on the morn
ing Of October II. When he awoke
from his nights sleep near Maine,
Arizona, he found large rattlesnake
sleeping in bed with him. The snake
had crawled into his blankets to get
out of the cold. Stebbens has the
II rattlers of the snake to prove his
story.
This is not the first time that
Stebbens has taken long journey
on his one leg and crutches. In 1921
he crossed the continent, walking
from Los Angeles to New York. He
made that trip for the experience OF
it, feeling the urge to wander. 1t is

sprained ankle; and one passenger,
a woman, whose name is not known,
suffered a bruised shoulder.

doubtful that any other one-legged
man has had the courage to nego-
tiate the country with a pair of
crutches once, not to mention the
second time.
Stebbens travels over the worst
kind of country and does not think
that it is extraordinary. He does not
hesitate to walk through desert and
mountainous regions, which is hard
work for even a man with two
strong legs. He climbed Pixies Peak,
which is more than $4,000 feet in al
titude, in 1921, going up the auto road.
He is remaining in Winslow few
days to sell his postcards.

because it was shady there and very
comfortable. Just lack of him and
about three feet above his head in
an alder bush was an old nest. 1t
was an old nest of RedWing, the
Blaclkbird. Peter knaw It WAS there.
He had known of that nest for a
ong time. Every one who had hap
p5ned asong that way after the leaves
lad fallen late the previous fall had
known of that nest. Then no one
could very well help seeing it. Now
that the leaves were out again it
was quite hidden. Still, of course,
Peter knew it was there.
Peter also knew that Redwing and
Mrs. Rcdwing build Il rev nest each
year, and SO have no use for their
old nests. SO he hadn't even looked
UP at that old nest. Probably if he
Lad he wouldn't have noticed any
thing different about it because he
wouldn't have shocked sharply
enough You know we are very apt
to see things as we expect to see
them. But that old nest was differ
ent. Yes, SIR, it was quite different
from what it had been. You see
now 1t had a roof, and that is. some
thing that ReGwing and Mrs. Red
wing never put on their nest. With
that oof on it that old nest made
the m st comfortable home you could
imagine. OF course, YOU nave guessed
whose home it was. 1t was the new
lone Of Danny and Nanny Meadow
Mouse. and Danny himself was sit
ting with only his funny little head
out of the little round doorway. 1t
was Danny who was having such
hard work not to laugh right out,
as L have told you before.

| they want to marry and have homes
and husbands and children of their
own.
I wish that I could tell these for
lOrn sisters how to attain their
hearts desire; but, alas. there is no
magic wand that one can wave over
a charmless woman and turn her
into yamD. Some women are born
with the power to attract men, and
can marry seven times hand run
ming, while other women have no
lure for the opposite sex. and would
never have proposal if they were
the only females left in the world.
So that's that And it seems to me
that the wise thing, the dignified
thing. and, the thing that will make
most for her happiness. is for wom-
an to face the music and accept the
fact at once that nature did not put
her into the siren class, that she has
no attraction for men and that she
is ordained for sp'nsterhood.
Certainly, there is no more pitiful
crea t1Ire in the world than the girl
who is So eager for attentions from
boys that she tries to bride and brow
beat them into coming to see her,
and who almost weeps with gratitude
when any miserable little stick of q
fellow condescends to notice her,
Nor is there anything more repulsive
than a woman who is out on the
husband hunt and from whom men
flee in terror and horror.
1t is the baffled desire, the strug-
Gle for what she can never get, that
makes the unmarried woman miser-
able, as we'll is ridiculous. And so
she not only saves her face, but
saves herself untold wretchednesS
and disappointment by putting the
thought Of matrimonY out of her
mind and building her life along
other lines.
Nothing, is sillier than the undue
emphasis we put upon love and ro-
nance and matrimODy. We have
exploited them until we have made
d girl believe that they are all in
life worth having and that she has
only to walk to the altar with some
youth TO have her eternal well-being
secured. or course. no one will
deny that to have a great love be-
slowed upon one is the gift of the
