WINSLOW WARRIORS
DRUBBED AT FLAG.

Fighting in a sea of mud Winslow
football squad went down to defeat
before the Flagstaff high school team
on the latter's field Armistice Day,
losing by the score of II to O. About
three inches of soft mud covered the
field making it impossible for the
local boys to make any headway
against their heavier opponents.
AS result of this defeat Winslow
will not make second place, but
third in the northern Arizona con-
ference, Flagstaff having lost a game
two weeks ago to Clarkdale, which
now leads for the championship
Flagstaff receives second place.
The game On Monday was marked
by straight football. The Winslow
aggregation tried it's aerial attack,
but the ball was SO slippery that it
was impossible to hold it, Forced to
runs the local squad, which was too
light for the Flagstaff warriors under
the adverse conditions, was doomed
to fight losing battle.
Flagstaff made both of it's touch
downs in the first half, one each
quarter, on series of line plunges
ana 0nQ runs. Inc only CnanCo CnaC
Winslow had of scoring was in the
second quarter. The local boys took
the ball down the field to Flagstaff's
ten-yard line, but fumbled and lost
it, WinslOw played good football
but was unable to hold the right half
on the Flagstaff team His mighty
plunging was the feature of the con-
test, Tully, Janeway, B. Evans and
Hensley played consistent football
throughout the game.
Winslow has two more games on
it's schedule, one at Gallup on Nov
ember "a and the other at Flagstaff
on Thanksgiving day with the Nor
NAL school.

pieces which were hurled many feet
