Last Friday afternoon the Williams
high school football eleven were vic
torious over the Truxton Indians by
the score of SO to 0. The fireworks
started within "a few seconds after the
opening whistle had blown, turning
the teams loose. TruXton won the
toss and kicked off, Miller received
the ball on the Williams Is yard line
and ran the length OF the field for
a touchdown. The interference on
this run approached closely to that
of the veteran players. A few
minutes later Simmons got away on a
long end run for 55-yard run to the
Indians goal.
In the second quarter captain Will
son and Pete Gonzales both got away
for 80 yard runs to the goal but after
that the Indians began to tighten and
the rest of the scoring resulted from
steady advancement on short passes
and line bucks. The Indians out
weighed the local boys 20 or %
pounds to the man and were able to
hold them to fairly even terms on
slower and seemed completely bewil-
dered by the end runs and unable to
break up the interference and get
their man.

Anyone knowing John Wetherill
would be hard to convince of his ever
having sowed any wild oats, but he is
just now harvesting his crop of wild
potatoes. On a recent trip to Keet-
seel ruins in the Segi, "a miles from
Kayenta, he brought back samples of
this vegetable, vine and all. Wild po-
tatoes were discovered in Marsh Pass
as long ago as fifteen years. These
were found on low ground in the
shadow of an oak near the ruins, and
were using the oak mold for nourish-
ment. It is believed the seed some
times remain in the ground for sew
eral years and it takes certain condi-
lions to induce them to sprout. The
abundant rains on the desert this
season offered the right condition for
bumper" crop. The tubers grow
about as large as small marble, IN
clusters almost the same as our Irish
potatoes, only more widely scattered
and the vines connect with runners
from one plant to another. The taste
is practically the same as our domes-
tic variety. and the appearance SINH
lar, even to the eyes. The Indians boil
them to eat or occasionally grind
them. Wild onions are more common
in this section and grow every year
being the first green thing that shoots
up in the spring. They have the flavor
of tame onions and when mature are
the size of lead pencil or even small
er. They grow in the crevices ir
rocks or on flat ground.

Work on the roads is being discon-
tinued for the year and the Valland-
ingham, Morse and Pierson camps
are breaking up as fast as men and
materials can be gotten out. Owing
to the unusually bad weather, both
of the summer and fall, the work as
a whole has been unsatisfactory to
men and bosses alike. Men working
by the day were unable to put IN
regular time, which made their pay
small and expenses the same as
though working, and bosses drawing
straight wages did not show as much
work completed as they should for the
time and money spent. AS for the
contractors, the year has been most
disastrous.
