Hoddy Stevens, New Lumberjack Captain,
Faces Hard Task During Coming Season
Especial to The Daily Mail)

the Northern Arizona Teachers
College Lumberjacks, the collegi-
ans will have one of the smartest
football players in the state to lead
them on the gridiron next season.
Stevens will don the mOleskinS
next year for the last time as q
member of the Lumberjacks for he
will be graduated from the school
year from this coming June.
The Lumberjacks face one Of the
toughest schedules in football in
the history of it's short existence
as a contender in collegiate cir
cles. 1t has only been during the
past three years that the college
here has abandoned playing the
Northern high schools. Winslow
high was usually about the tough
est opposition the Jacks were call
ed upon to meet and many bat
tie did WinsloW nose out by a one
point margin.
Old Beating Recalled
The last time a Winslow team
played on the local field was when
the Alumni eleven handed the
Northern college the sweetest
trimming ever administered to
them by any alumni club. Those
were the days when Melvin Rush
ing who later became famous as a
backfield star on the Lumberjack
team, played in the backfield
alongside of Hitchcock and Pater-
son with Bob Evans calling sig
nails.
Flagstaff has since been sched-
uling all of their games with
teams of college caliber but never
until, this year has such preten-
tious array of games been dished
out.
The Lumberjacks will open up
next season by playing the Phoe-
nix Junior College Bears on Octo-
Der s. The Jacks walloped Phoenix
this season 80 to 0 breaking a jinx
that had been following the up
staters for many years. On the
following Saturday they meet Gila
College at Thatcher. The Red
Devils have been playing a brand
of football that has reflected cred
it on the institution. Coach Shum-
way, of Gila, is former student
of the Flagstaff college but uses
an altogether different system
than he was taught here back in
the balmy days.
Must Beat Tempe.
If the Lumberjacks are going to
be conference championship con-
tenders next season they must lick
Tempe. The Bulldogs will be
brought here on October %. With
Coach Lynch only losing two men
of this years squad the Lumber
jacks loom up on paper as the
best team, as Coach McCreary, of
Tempe, will lose about seven men
through the graduation route.
Loyola College, of Los Angeles,
will be featured in the fourth an
nual Homecoming Day of the col
lege on October 30. Loyola, beat
Flagstaff this year 27 to Z in one
OF the most interesting games
played on the coast this year. 10y
ola closed their season this year
resting their laurels with Stanford
and st. Marys, both members of
the Pacific Coast conference, with
no defeats chalked up on the
boards. Loyola will not lose
man off of their championship
team and will give the Lumber
jacks probably the hardest game
of the season with the possible ex-
ception of Regis College of Denver,
with whom the Lumberjacks are
scheduled to play November 10 in
Denver.
Indians To Play
The Phoenix Indians will again
be brought here to play November
5. The Indians by far proved to
be the best drawing card of the en-
tire schedule this year. Indians
from all the reservations trekked in
to town to lend moral support to
the invading Braves.
Tentative arrangements are be-
ing made for a game at the State
Fair next year. Negotiations have
been started with a member of the
Southern California conference for
the game and the probabilities are
that contracts will be signed early
next week.
On their return from Denver the
team will stop at Montezuma,
where they will meet the college
team there. The New Mexico ag-
gregation were beaten here this
season 81 to IA.
Coach Lynch stated last night
that arrangements are under way
for next years training camp
which, if plans go through, will
attract a great many young men
from Northern Arizona here for
the intensive pertaining and con-
ditioning period. More than fifty
