BULLDOGS Plan
FOR HARD SCRAP
" | I H DEFINING

: The Bulldogs are ready for the
Deming team Saturday and everything
points to close, scrappy contest The
Douglas boys were able to defeat the
Deming aggregation last year by a
single touchdown and judging from
reports the New Mexico boys have a
stronger team than they had last sea-
son. They have won three games
this season defeating Hatch 19 to
and Silver City 81 to 6. The score
made in the other. game is not known
but except flukey touchdown they
have not been scored against and
possess a strong powerful defense,
combined with a tricky offense.
Coach Fuzzy Warren will have
his candidates for the game in shape
and predicts that a rejuvenated team
will take the field against the in
vaders. The Bulldogs after outplay-
ing, outgaining and outsmashing the
Badgers last Saturday made costly
tumble that ruined their chances for
g clean title to the southern champ
ionship Douglas was easily the bet
ter team and made twice as much
yardage, but one nisplay gave the
Tucson team the victory. Coach
Warren has been drilling the boys
in handling, the ball. With lead of
IL to Z with but a few minutes to
play the Bulldogs saw their mistake
too late and could not push over a
third touchdown before the final
gun.

stage a comeback and win their
remaining contests and probably get
another chance at the title, should
the Badgers lose to some team dur
