 Opening Of College Season

New York, Oct. GP-Gridiron warriors stood at attention today awaiting king footballs command to advance in full force into the 1926 campaign. While many college squads have been drifting into ac- ton during the past two weeks, the bigger elevens have been mobilizing for opening engagements on satur- day.
 Heading a heavy card which puts all the college teams Of the cast into the fray are the tussles of the Big Three and intersectional meetings bringing together the navy and Pur- due at Annapolis and q Detroit in vasion on the army at West Point.
 The Naval academy has displayed "a powerful attack in practice in preparation for Purdue. The In- diana team was holding a brief workout at Annapolis today. Coach Jones of the army had his squad through a hard drill yesterday, and Ia light practice period today com pleted the drive for the tilt with Detroit.
 Prospects Of Yale concentrating on a passing game were in evidence. The Blue is well supplied with backs but needs strengthening along the line. Yale stacks up against Bos- ton university at New Haven in it's initial clash.

(BY BILLY FEANS)

New York, Oct 1.-If the New York Americans are to have a chance of beating the St. Louis Car dinals in the world series. the Yankees must do right about face quickly.
 The Tanks literally staggered under the wire as the American league pennant winner.
 For perhaps six weeks the club has been running in low gear. Down the home stretch it was in re- verse most of the time.
 Playing in mid-6eason form, the style of game that enabled the Yankees 10 pile up winning streaks of Is and II games, l would figure them to defeat the best the National league could offer.
 When Bats Fail
 Should the club continue its Sep tember form in the world series, it would not present the formidable opposition it is really capable of.
 The weak showing the Yankees have made in the homo stretch can be charged to one thing-a terrific batting slump.
 If there is one thing, the New York club can do, it is hit the ball. That has been it's ace in the hole, in one of the most surprising cam- paigns Wagod in the American league in years,
 Rated a joke team by 9 majority of the experts in the spring, the Yankees were away to a good start. The club received better pitching than it expected. This help, plus a punch at the bat, won the pennant and provided one Of the greatest form upsets in years.
 Then late in August the batting power Of the Yankees dropped away to a whisper, The pitching fell off a trife. This naturally was fol- lowed by decline in the morale of the club. So that in the final stages of the race, the Yankees suffered many unpleasant afternoons.
 The strain Of the pennant race re- moved will it make difference in the spirit and play of the New York club? I am inclined to think it will.
 The Yankees club has great posei. bilities. When it is hitting it i, one of those teams that overwhelm, you.
 Irregular Play
 One of the games in the fna series with the Chicago White So, best explains what l mean. Afte, losing double-header by clos scores, in which timely hit or tw, would have meant couple of vic tories, the Tanks came back tn, next day and slaughtered Chicago 14-0.
 Every club is naturally at it's bes when in a batting mood. but II, team more so than the Yankees since strength in that department O play is the outstanding feature O the club.
 There is no happy medium witt the Yankees. The club is either great or just mediocre. Inc lJ2b clash between New Yorl and st. Louis strikes me as meet ing between two good. but not grea ball clubs, As a matter of fact great ball clubs are the exception il | the major leagues these days.
 "Thc Chicago White SoX of 191, would have won the American league ponnaHt by at least a dozer games this year" was the remark one Of the Yankee stars made to me after the race was definitely decided
 The St, Louis Cardinals is c young | club that should improve. II ha, played throughout the season as il

had told on his none too strong physique,
 Ptnnock is a money pitcher. He has great courage.
 The rest prior 10 the world series should help his game.
 Waite Hoyt, when he sticks to his fast ball, no pitcher in the Ameri- can league has 9 better one, should trouble the Cards. When Hoyt slows up, and he has a fondness for that style of pitching, he's not so effective
 ShoCkcr Troublesome
 Urban shocKcr, with his spitball and baffiing change of pace, is al- ways troublesome and when the veteran Bob Shawkey and Sam Jones have one of their good days, they are tough to beat.
 The great Alexander always at his best in the pinch, Flint Rehm. big winner all season, Jesse Haines, who has a great fast ball, and Vic hf'Il VIII plObdblS HIGhe up IlOll4S- bys choice selection of right-hand- CTS, while Sherdel and Reinhart will do the southpaw stuff.
 Unquestionably the two teams are very evenly matched, as is usually the case in every world series At the finish, the play of the Cardinals was smoother than that of the Tanks. The American league pen nant winner played its poorest ball in September.
 If the Yankees show a reversal of form, hit as they can and play the ball they are capable of, they should rule about a G-5 favorite over the Cardinals.

inspired and has shown the greatest of courage under terrific fire.
 Hornsby Proves Stuff
 Rogers Hornsby has proved him self d highly competent manager. He has shown the way to his play CTS. He has done everything he asks them to do. As a result the Cardinals have the spirit and the harmony that makes for success.
 I ratc the St. Louis infleld better than the Yankees on both offense and defense, although the margin is not wide I would give the edge to the Yankee outfcld over the Car dinals by the same ratio.
 Bob C'FarreIl, having one Of his best years back Of the bat, throws the margin to the Cardinals as to the catchers. The veteran, Hank Severed of the Tanks is the most dependable, however, and in a short series, at the tip of his game. would more than hold up his end.
 Pat Collins, if showing tho sensa- tional form that featured his work during the first half of the season, would be most valuable asset to the Tanks. Pat went stale and has never quite reached the spring form that won him the place Of first-string catcher.
 The pitching Is about a standoff The Yankee staff is a veteran one and at times shows form that is un- beatable.
 In Herb Pennock, it has the best southpaw in the American league and Dutch" Reuther is still 8 mighty good one. The fraily Pen mock was not so effective during the final month of play. The strain

A heavy hard hitting eleven that shows the results of painstaking ef- fort of a wclI-organized coaching staff is the Norwich Free Academy football team that will meet the New Britain High school team in it's opening home game at Memorial field tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
 This will be the opening game of the season for the visiting team so that little is known of it's strength this year. In past years the school has always had q good team and it has always been 9 position to af- ford a large coaching staff for foot ball as it is a major sport. X win for the Red and Gold team over this array of talent would bring 1t i'm mediate recognition m preparatory schools throughout the state.
 So far the warning of Coach George NJ. Cassidy 10 the squad in a pre- season talk is showing it's effects on the squad. He told them he would not tolerate backwardness in studies and that he did not intend to have on his squad boys who were not trying to stay up in their classes. Up 10 now all the team and substi- tutes are eligible and will be ready when called upon.
 Never before have boys been so loyal to training. Although Coach Cassidy has never given out infor- nation relative to the boys loyalty. Members of the alumni body have commented on the way they are talk ing to training this year. At a recent frat" dance a census was taken up by an alumnus and it was found that of the entire gathering not one of the athletes were in at tendance.

by B. G. Hawkins, Frank McQuat-
ters, Charlie Burns, and Mr.. Fay
the latter the engineer working out
plans for the physical improve
ments that are to be made at the
sawmill plants both at McNary
and Flagstaff, arrived here from
McNary, Sunday night. Mr.. Wat
kins is vice-p~esident in charge OF
operations, and probably will have
more to do with the management
of the Flagstaff unit than any
other man. He remained here until
Wednesday afternoon, when he
went to Los Angeles. Mr.. Burns
will be at his home here for several
days yet before going back to Nc
Nary. The others left Tuesday aft
ernoon for Los Angeles.
Extensive repairs have been de-
cided upon for the local plant and
the york will begin within few
weeks and be completed, it is be-
lieved, in June. Among the i'm
provements here will be lew dry
kilns, making it possible to care for
as large an output with much

WINSLOW EDUCATOR In ADDRESS TO
SCHOOL MASTERS ATFL LAGSTAFFU URGES,
ELIMINATING NON ESSENTIAL STUDIES

"Why teach square root or cube
root and other aon-ess yntials to
the children of our nation when
the possibilities are that in practi-
cal life they will never have occa-
sion to make practical use of
them, said G. H. Madden, super
intendent of schools of Winslow,
before the School Masters Club
assembled in Flagstaff Saturday
for it's first get-acquainted lunch
con.
"The uselessness of algebra and
geometry is very obvious" said
Mr.. Madden. "These mathematical
courses have a place in the curri-
culum, and are alright in their
place. If student is to major
in engineering or mechanics where
knowledge of higher mathematics
| is necessary and essential, there
is the place where they should be
taught. But it is ridiculous to re-
quire that all students in our high
schools should take these subjects
unless they wish or unless they are
a requirement of the objective they
are to follow in later life" the
educator declared.
DR.. F. A. Cotton, president Of
the Northern Arizona Teachers
College, discussed the athletic stu
alton of the college here and de-
clared in his address that it was
not necessary for an athletic coach
to be a star athlete.
"What we need" said DR.. Cot
ton, "is more trained teachers of
physical education who know all
phases of the work and can adapt
their work in the needs OF the child
in the different psychology peri
ods of his development" He told
of the work that is being done at
the college here and went into de-
tail regarding the courses offered
in the physical education depart
ment.
Other speakers on the program
were G. 3. Schrepel, principal of
the Jerome High School, who talked
on the ethics of the profession. j.
@. Thomas, superintendent of
schools of Flagstaff, commented on
the need of further scientific re-
search in educational matters.
The next club meeting will be
held in Prescott at the convention
of the northern section of the State
Teachers Institute which convenes
there during Thanksgiving week.

ALL HIGHWAYS TO
GRAND CANYON
BEING IMPROVED

GRAND CANYON = Although
weather records show the past
month to have been the wettest
February in three years at the
Grand Canyon, nevertheless travel
by private automobile increased 20
per cent over the same month last
year, it was announced by G. G.
Bolton, acting superintendent here
According to Mr.. Bolton, there
was no time during the past month
when the roads from the National
Old Trails highway to the park
were impossible. The claims of
the Grand Canyon National Park
to be classed as an all-year park
were proved beyond any doubt on
February 22nd, as on that date au-
tomobiles had entered the park
every day for year.
The months total travel was
5,258, an increase of $50 or Fl per
cent over the same month last year.
Of the total, 1876 came by rail and
582 in 208 autos. AS was the case
in December and January, travel
for February broke all previous
records for the months.
Wide recognition of the Grand
Canyon National Park as a scenic
attraction, is being shown by the
present trend of road development
in the southwest, it was stated by
Mr.. Bolton.
According to Mr.. Bolton, several
highway projects now being organ
lied are being considered chiefly
to make the park more accessible
from certain sections of the coun-
try. All parts of the southwest are
beginning to realize, that being on
an improved highway, with direct
connections to the Grand Canyon
is a great asset from the tourist
travel standpoint. 1t is therefore,
not surprising to see new highways
opened from different sections to
the park, as a direct route to this
wonder spot has a tremendous ad-
vertising value.
The present efforts of those in
terested in the Ell Paso-Grand Can
yon highway, to popularize this
route, is an example of how cities
in other states are coming to rea-
lize the desirability of having a di-
rect connection with the worlds
greatest spectacle. The benefits to
be derived from such highway can
hardly be estimated, especially
when practically the entire route
is over country rich in unusual
scenic features.
The value of all highways ap-
preaching the park will be more
than doubled with the construction
of the Lees Ferry road. This will
be the only north and south high
way for $50 miles in either direc-
ton, and with the Grand Canyon
as the attraction, will result in a
great concentration of travel in this
area. This will tend to spread out
over all highway approaches to the
park, and will provide great slim
ulus to motor-car travel throughout
the southwest. From the tourist
standpoint the Lees Ferry road is
no doubt one of the most important
projects now under consideration
in the entire country.
Road boosters should remember
that the opening of any new route
into a given territory, will result
in improved travel conditions every
where. The more roads, the more
people is a good slogan to follow.
