Football is king on the normal
campus. Never in the history of the
school has the student body and fac
ulty been so wrapped up with foot
ball eleven. Although not the strong
est team that has worn the gold and
white there is that indefinable thing
called "school spirit" that makes
Coach Stevenson's warriors stand out
prominently in the imelight of king
dom.
Flagstaff highs boys are creating
a great deal of interest about town..
They honestly believe that they are
going to whip normal this year, and
we frankly admit that they have a
fighting chance. Denman's boys held
Winslow to tie a few days go and
when he put his aggregation through
a hard scrimmage last Wednesday
with the Lumberjacks their opportun-
ity to put over win this year look
ed bright. Flagstaff high is in the
true sense of the word local school,
and this game in November should
bring out a record-breaking crowd.
The football public Of Flagstaff
clearly demonstrated on Saturday that
they viii pay their good hard-earned
shekels to support the king of coll
lege sports, football.
The goal posts for normal's new
athletic stadium are being made out
of young pine trees and when COM
pleted, it is understood, the field will
be officially dedicated. The date will
be announced later.
Tomorrow will be an off day for
the Lumberjacks but week from
Saturday the st. Johns aggregation
viii come here to face the locals. If
the day is in any way suitable for
football big. crowd is expected. Nor
nal defeated st. Johns last year by a
heavy score but rumors have it that
that the Mormons are coming down
for revenge.
1t Is needless to alibi that normal
IS always handicapped by a small en-
roliment of eligible football players
This year only 13 men came out for
the game, and as it is necessary for
some of the boys to earn while they
learn, members of the faculty have
volunteered to take the boys places
while they participate in the football
classic.
Normal made its 1923 debut in the
football pastime against Coach Britt s
boys in Williams last Friday by de-
feating the youngsters &c to 0. While
this contest was not supposed to test
the mettle of Stsvefson's Lumber
jacks, it looked for while as though
the Williams boys were going to up
set the dope. Britt knows football
and gives his boys the benefit of his
experience. In Cole, Luna, Montgom-
cry and Infante he has a backfiela
that have football brains, who work
their signals in proper cadence and
are keen in following their interfer-
ence. They viii make Flagstaff higp
hustle to turn in a win.
With normal meeting practically all
of the northern Arizona teams this
year, we believe it viii be in line to
pick a mythical all-northern eleven
this year. With the assistance of the
coaches and officials this can easily
be accomplished and should help to
stimulate an interest in the games.
