WINSLOW Hi SCHOOL
DEFEATS PRESCOTT
FOOTBALL TEAM 1916

Sixteen members of the Winslow
high school football squad left on
number one Friday to tackle the Pres
colt high team in a Saturday game.
The team was in excellent spirits and
full of confidence, in fact too much
confidence The game started as
walkaway, changed to real battle for
two quarters and then finally became
a rout.
Winslow kicked off to begin the
game and before two minutes had
elapsed were leading six to nothing.
From this time until late in the third
quarter the Winslow team seemed to
lose all its power The Prescott
team charged through their line as
if it were paper and Winslow's Of
Tense was crude.
Winslow scored once in the second
quarter after having the ball in scor-
ing position three different times and
the half finally ended 1870 favor of
Winslow
The second half started out much
as the second quarter had been and
Prescott soon pushed over a touch
down, after that it was murder. Pres
Janeway went around the end for 70
yards, being stopped by the safety
and the rout was under way. First
Thornton through the line-Hubbard
off tackle-Janeway or Evans around
end-passes long and short; every
thing worked with the Winslow line

THREE BIG CIRCUS
ACTS TO BE PUT ON
AT THE STATE FAIR

Three premier circus acts featur-
ing some of the worlds most famous
performers will make their appear
ance at the Arizona state fair this
made today by Joseph P. Dillon, sec
rotary of the state fair commission
These special free attractions have
been brought to Arizona for the week
of the fair, November 10-15, inclusive,
at an expense that would seem eX-
travagant except for the fact that they
are classed as top liners in the amuse
ment world. They include the Fly
ing Condonas," flying trapeze artists;
Lucille Anderson, the famous diving
beauty, and bevy of diving nymphs
direct from the New York Hippodrome
and Chick Overfield, expert trick slack
wire performer.
The Condonas have shown their
skill and daring in practically every
country of the civilized world, re-
turning only recently to the United
States after an absence of four years
in Europe, South America, Africa and
Asia. They are said to be the only
artists performing in the outdoor field
who have been decorated by the king
of Spain for the fete in the immense
hippodrome at Seville, and also by
the president of France for exhibitions
given in the leading circuses in that
country.
Miss Anderson, queen of the sirens,
succeeds to the honors formerly held
by Annette Kellerman. Her contract
calls for daily performance, featur-
ing swimming and diving contests in
front of the grand stand. In her
water revue, she is assisted by a
coterie of bathing beauties who have
won high honors and medals in div
ing contests throughout the east
These fascinating and beautiful
nymphs will give an enhancing per-
Torrance of trick and somersault
diving and Miss Anderson furnishes
the climax in the form of a. 65-foot
high dive.
One of the best tricks performed
by Overfield, the chap on the slack
wire, is his imitation as an intoxi-
Gated club man, whose imitation,
though highly hazardous, always
evokes peals of merriment
The outlook for successful fair
this year was never better, says Sec
rotary Dillon. Special rates by the
railroads from all points in California,
Arizona, New Mexico and western
