plant 20 acres of the new strain
Acala on his ranch east of that town.
Mr.. Attaway finds after many years

he says. The young, early plants do
not make top growth and the cool
weather develops a heavy root base
to carry the plants through hot days
and nights to come.

Tempe Player
Is Captain of
All-Star Five

Three teams are given represen-

tet on the informal Arizona confer
ence, chosen by IA coaches, officials
and observers associated with the
invitation tournament of the Phoenix
day night.
Those three teams-the Tempe
Teachers College Bulldogs, who won
their second consecutive conference
championship; the Gila college Red
Devils, runners-up for the second
time consecutively, and the Northern
Arizona Teachers College Lumber
jacks of Iagstaff-contribute all
players for the second all-conference
team, as well as those for the first.
The Tempe Teachers and the Gila
college Red Devils each place two
on the first all-star team, the Nor
thern Arizona Teachers placing one
and ella one On the second all-star
Tempe, the Freshmen, Indians, Gila
and Phoenix Junior College contribute
one each to the third team. The
analysis of selections shows that all
five of the Tempe regulars were cho
sen for all.star honors of various
grades; four flCm ella, three from
Flagstaff and one payer from each
of the other teams completes the
personnel Of the three all-star teams.
SIMPKINS, Tempe forward and
captain, was however, the only
player unanimously chosen as for
ward on the first team For that
reason he is made captain of the all
conference first team. The Tempe
star physically is the ideal basket
ball player. He is tall, above six
feet has a magnificent physique, Il
fast and accurate in throwing goals.
