YOU COAST DOWN THEN
COAST BACK AGAIN ON
THE new TOBOGGAN SLIDE

With the meeting of the Winter
Sports committee with the board of
directors of the Chamber of Com
merce. Wednesday night, final plans
were laid for the purchase of twelve
Star toboggans for the slide on OBJ
servatory hill and plans discussed
for immediate construction of the
slide.
NJ. J. Pilkington, chairman of the
committee, appointed Ernest Coulter,
Capt. j. B. Wright and w. A. Web
Der committee on construction and
K. D. Bogart, chairman of lighting
committee. The directors authorized
the sports committee to proceed
Immediately with plans for the win
ter's entertainment.
Work has already commenced on
Observatory hill clearing trees with
the assistance Of both city and
county Next week, construction of
the toboggan will begin. This slide
will be one-half mile in length, or
one-auarter mile each way and viii
be brightly illuminated. The plans
for the slide are being patterned
after the toboggan at Manchester;
n. H. This slide, however, will be
unique in that one will be able to
slide practically all of the time,
getting off one end of the toboggan
and walking few feet and board
ing the sled again, returning to the
starting point. This feature of Flag
staff's toboggan is not duplicated
anywhere else in the country.
A report on the first annual Flag
staff exposition by Ernest Coulter,
finance chairman, showed that more
than 1000 people passed through the
gates during the three days Of the
show. :,
Typical winter sport posters will
soon be in place all throughout the
state, through the courtesy OF the
Foster & Kleiser company OF Phoe-
| nix.

An ornery, wilful little horse that
to change into an unusually willing,
intelligent and able saddle and COW
horse, was the starting point of the
FaXboro Prep Ranches, the big new
outdoor school for boys, just being
completed at Clay Park, 26 miles
southwest of Flagstaff.
The story of the little horse was
graphically told Saturday afternoon
by Frank Gyberg, president of the
FoxborO corporation and one of the
vests best horsemen, to hundred
or more business and professional
and Clarkdale, who with their ladies
motored to Clay Park for the barbe-
cue given partly in honor of the birth
day of the architect, Chris Totten,
though the event almost might be
called dedication of the school.
The invitation was general to the
members of the civic organizations
of the four cities named; though
many did not know its scope; so the
attendance was smaller than it other
wise would have been.
1t was a delightful affair. There
was enough to eat for an army, and
in variety and quality it fIabbergast-
ed even such epicures as T. A. Rior-
dan, Nose Hazeltine and Walter Mil
Ter.
Architect Totten and his builders
have done remarkable work. Begun
in September, the buildings are prac-
tically complete. They include big
stone garage, large two-story adj
ministration building flanked at eth
er side-this group in a circle seq
ment $50 feet long-by four separate
dormitory cottages, each of the eight
10x25 feet and designed to house
four boys.
Then there is a large separate
building for kitchen and dining room
and another is the dairy All the
buildings are well-constructed. They
are of rustic design, fitting in ad-
mirably with the ascending rocky,
heavily wooded slopes on three sides
and the big, level open park to the
south. They are durably built, to
withstand the years and the rough
usage that may be expected from
youths OF not so many years. Ample
verandas, heavily rallied, and big
stone fireplaces add to their good
looks.
The highway just beyond has been
shifted to higher ground, as the old
route will be covered with water
when the new lake is filled To i'm
pound this, a heavy concrete dam
about Is feet high in the center and
nearly a hundred feet long has been
built across the little canyon.
There are tennis courts, and a
golf course, for which there is an
ideal place, will soon be laid out.
Something about the SCHOOL,
The officers of the corporation
are: Frank Gyberg, president; Dave
Saunders of Clarkdale, secretary
treasurer; Frederick P. Fox of New
York City, NJ. B. Hazeltine of Pres
colt, Frank Gyberg of Foxboro, Dave

thoughts of vengeance in their hearts
for the defeat by Tempe took their
spite out on the Montezuma college

tezuma converted goal and the half
ended with the score 1877.
Flagstaff again scored early in the
second half by a succession Of line
plunges by Shumway, Mcclure and
Mooney, the latter smashing through
Montezuma's line four yards for the
coveted fourth touchdown. Mooney
converted goal.
The Teachers carried the ball in
territory dangerous TO Montezuma
several times in the last quarter, but
lost on downs or fumbles.
A Montezuma tumble cost them
two points when they attempted to
punt and Mcclure tack ed the man
behind the goal. Holt intercepted a
pass and covered 20 yards for Flag
staff's final touchdown.
Montezuma opened up with an aer-
ial attack and succeeded i'll complet-
ing a pass over the goal line. They
converted the extra point for goal
and made the final score 24-14.
Montezuma failed to complete elev-
en- passes while Flagstaff failed to
complete seven. Both teams complet-
ed three passes. Flagstaff intercept
ed three passes and Montezuma in

SNEAK WOLF TOOK JOY
OUT OF WESLEY'S LIFE

Lou Wesley is wondering just what
ne did or didn't do to Mistress Lady
Luck that she should treat him in the
dirty way she is doing lately. She let
big yellow bus last week batter the
new off his car. Now she hits him
where he lives: Last Saturday night
she let some sneak into his poultry
roost to lift his pet prize 30 pound
gobbler off the roost. Lou won this
bird at a turkey shoot just year
ago, struck up friendship that en-
dured all this year-just didn't have
the heart to treat him like a mere
piece of prospective meat-and now
look where they both are!
