For some time in the past there
has been a tendency on the part oil
several followers of the hoop game
in Bath TO ,razz the referee or in Il
more kindly mood to offer various
suggestions as to how. the game
should be played to make it a sue
cess, with the result that the sea
porters are now carefully avoided by
central board men whenever such Il
thing is possible. Razzing visiting
team doesn't tend to add. either to
the laureis of the team itself which
may not be and most always is not
responsible for the actions of the
crowd, or to the crowd which runs
under the impression that the home
team is the only team that has a Ii
cense to be In the win column.
Nearly every school in, the state isow

AMONG NINE SCHOOLS IN
STATE BASKETBALL MEET

ball five took third place in the state

and z.
Drawing for places in the tourna-
ment took place at coaches dinner
Friday evening and the Flagstaff five
drew to play the opening game tour
ney with the Phoenix Indian school,
Tempe Normal and Phoenix Junior
college were matched for the second
game and Gila college and the Uni
yersity freshmen for. the third. Flag
staff won the first game by small
margin and when the semi-finals
came off the following day, the Phoe-
nix Indians were chosen as the strong
est of the three losing teams. Tempe
won from, the Junior college and Gila
won from the freshmen, and the
choice of the Indians placed the Lum-
berjacks above all three of the losing
teams of the preliminaries. The only
team to defeat the Flagstaff boys was
the team that won the state cham
pionship. The Tempe Bulldogs were
without doubt the strongest aggrega-
tion at the tournament and proved it
by defeating last years champions rs
to 90 However, Gila college placed
second and played excellent basketball.
Tempe received the trophy offered by
the Arizona Republican for the win
ming team and Mortenson of Gila coll

Union high school, Chairman F. G. Os-
born of Flagstaff Normal athletic
council, and from each of the coaches
and captains of the competing teams.

has not rated so high in the tourna-
ment and for that reason it was inn
possible to arrange games with the
schools in the valley earlier in the
past season. However, with the
showing made by our Lumberjacks
this year puts Flagstaff Normal in a
position to receive recognition from
all of the schools of this class in the
state, and games in football have al
ready been arranged with three OF
them for the coming year. Our team
win play the Phoenix Indians, Phoenix
Junior college in Phoenix and Tempe
/ Normal will come to Flagstaff. Base
ball games will be arranged if it is at
all possible, for the coming season and
Flagstaff Normal will enter into the

earnest.

BIG THINGS PLANNED FOR
CANYON (DIABLO) LODGE

Indian Miller, the handsome, edu
Gated Apache chief who during the
last two or three summers ran the
museum at the Ancient Cliff Dwell
ings, and iwho several months ago
moved to Canyon Lodge, the hustling
new settlement that has sprung up at
Canyon Diablo where the Flagstaff
and Winslow highway bridges the can
yon, was in Flagstaff the last of last
week, accompanied by Joe Secakuku.
Most everybody in this country
knows Joe, the affable, educated Hopi
Indian who for eight years has been
connected with the Hopi house at
Grand Canyon.
Joe has moved to Canyon Lodge to
join hands with Indian Miller Not
that they will be partners, for they
will not be, but each is doing all he
can to make the lodge more attrac-
tive and each hopes to make himself
wealthy doing it.
Indian Miller has an interesting and
much larger museum there than he
had at the Cliff Dwellings,. Nearby
there, also, are some ancient cliff
dwellings,, to which Miller has built
2OOQ IfalIS. Tie mas Ilid IlOllSlSI
farm, an interesting and rapidly
growing zoo of southwestern animal
and reptile life, and plans soon to put
in a moving picture plant, to show
along with the movies, slides adver-
tising the more important scenic
points around Flagstaff, of which he
has all along been a genuine booster.
Joe will conduct daily Hopi Indian
dances at the lodge, and will have
big curio store there. Among the
features at the latter will be Hopi
weavers and silversmiths, who will
fashion many of the items on sale in
the store.
r. M. Cundiff, who has the garage,
store and restaurant at the lodge, of
which he is the founder, plans build
ing dam in Canyon Diablo this
spring and from it's completion hopes
to have a plentiful supply of good
water for tourists and other visitors.
He also plans building dance hall to
make the tourists stopping there more
contented.

FIRE CHIEF WILSON HOPES
TO HAVE NEW FIRE HOUSE

Jack NJ Wilson, chief Flagstaff
volunteer fire department, was given
an opportunity at city council meeting
Tuesday night to explain in detail the
plan he has for a new city fire
house. The members of council were
deeply interested and much impressed
with Mr. Wilson's ideas and gave
them their hearty sanction, though
with the water Improvement and other
necessary expenses ahead they could
not offer money from the city treas
ury toward carrying out the plan.
Mr.. Wilson recently obtained per-
mission from the county supervisors
to erect a new firehouse on county
land just north of the courthouse
yard on North San Francisco street.
Contractor Pete Solberg has drawn up
complete plans for a. good looking,
mission style, stucco and brick build
ing, one story high, 36x48 feet, to face
west. 1t is estimated the cost of the
building would be about $1,000.
Mr.. Wilson hopes to get the money
for the building by popular subscrip-
ton and, it is understood, already
has received considerable encourage
ment. The present fire room in city
hall is much too small to properly
house and handle the equipment. The
proposed building would give room for
the fire engine and also four cars be-
longing to members Of the volunteer
department, making the cars accessi-
BILE for quick run to a fire.
Mr.. Wilson also feels that, when
wanted, it would be easy to run the
ears outside and use the building foe
an hour or so at time as a gymnas-
ium. Another idea in connection with
the building is to make it headquar-
ters for one of the boy scout troops.
Along with this latter idea, Mr.. Will
son has hope of giving lot Of the
boy scouts special fire drill This
would mean material assistance from
trained men later in case of serious
fire and also would increase the
knowledge of how best to prevent
fires.
