GRID DOPE GIVES LOCAL
TEACHERS ODDS TO WIN
OVER INDIANS SATURDAY

Tomorrow's football game with the
Phoenix Indians will go long way
toward deciding the Arizona informal
conference championship for Coach
"Rudie" Lavik's Flagstaff Teachers
college proteges.
When the local college lads allowed
the Phoenix Junior college club to
hold them to a scoreless tie in the
first game of the season little did
they realize that the downstate ag-
gregation would figure in the con-
ference championship this year.
The Indians beat Tempe to 0 and
Gila Is to 0 and were on their way
toward the championship when they
allowed Phoenix to defeat them ID to
6 last Saturday. Junior college, how
ever, will have to defeat Tempe and
Gila before they can lay any claims to
the title. The local college has already
met all the teams in the conference
with the exception of the Braves and
if Coach Lavik's lads are able to add
the Indians scalp to their list of VIC
tories they will at least stand chance
" l1y NleA1ill w IilC llIlC OH COIi para
tive scores with other teams in the
conference.
From the dope at hand it is fair
mathematical certainty that the peda-
gogues should win tomorrow's game
by at least three touchdowns. The
brand of ball however that is usually
displayed by the Redmen one week
can hardly be taken as criterion for
what they may do the following week.
The Indians, as rule, put up stub
born defense and once they get into
the lead they are a tough bunch to
stop.
Coach Lavik will probably start the
same lineup against the Braves as he
had in for Loyola with the possible
exception that Captain Hoddy Stevens,
who was hurt in the Tempe game, will
see action. Jack Wilson, who has
been on the sick list since the Phoe-
nix Junior college game, is gradually
getting back into condition and may
see action. Homer Allen, who was
also hurt in the Tempe game, is still
on the bench and it is hardly likely
that he will get into the fracas.
The injury to Bill Holt's leg in the
Loyola game is not very severe and
he will get into the game tomorrow if
necessary.
If weather conditions permit the
game will be played at McMullen
field. The kickoff will be at 2:3O
sharp.

TEACHERS AND LOYOLA
BATTLE TO SCORELESS
COUNT HERE SATURDAY

Putting up defense that complete
ly baffled Loyola college of Los An
geles, Coach "Rudie" Lavik's fight
ing Flagstaff Teachers college Lum-
berjacks were able to hold the highly
touted Californians to scoreless tie
in one of the hardest fought football
games ever witnessed in Flagstaff.
McMullen field resembled a quag-
mire rather than a football gridiron
the morning of the game and in order
not to handicap either team, the
coaches of both schools decided that
the City park field would be the scene
of action for the game. The field was
a little slow but since neither team
had ever practiced there it was of no
particular disadvantage.
The day was ideal for football, both
from a player and spectator stand
point. There was a northeast wind
blowing across the gridiron which
helped to dry up the few moist spots.
Costly fumbles together with a
slashing attack by Loyola's backfield
men gave the Californians an edge
during the first half of the game.
Coach Hess of the Loyola Lions had
his first string men in from the very
beginning of the game but at crucial
moments when a score would have
come in mighty handy for his lads,
the forward wall of the local teachers
invariably held and the ball would re-
vert to Coach Lavik's timbermen on
downs.
With the pigskin on Flagstaff's 25-
yard line, Coach Hess yanked his en-
tire first string and sent in a fresh
eleven in desperate attempt to score
against the tired hard-working locals
The first play netted the California
boys five yards. Again the Jesuit
boys pounded the Lumberjack line for
three yards. The Flagstaff line held
on the next down and before anything
injurious could happen Bob Powers,
field judge, barked his As for the end
of the half.
During the first stanza of the game
the California boys had chalked up
five first downs to the Lumberjacks'
two. But this situation was reversed
in the last frame, the locals making
three first downs to their visitors
one.
The Flagstaff aggregation COM
pletely outplayed the invaders in the
last half in every department with the
exception of a brief time when the

NEED FOR BUILDING OAK
CREEK HIGHWAY IS TOLD
BY VISITORS AT ROTARY

+ Forcefully stressing the need for
close cooperation between the various
cities of the state if they all and the
state as a whole, develop up to its
fullest possibilities, three of the five
Yavapai county people who attended
Rotary here Tuesday were listened to
with close and enthusiastic attention.
and the advice they gave was whole
heartedly endorsed by each person
present.
The speakers were Miss Grace
Sparkes, of Prescott, secretary Yav-
apai County Chamber of Commerce;
r. E. Moore of Jerome, chairman of
the board of supervisors of that
county, and Val DeCamp, superinten-
dent of the United Verde Mining
company of Jerome.
Accompanying them on their visit
here were r. K. Duffy, chief clerk of
the United Verde Mining company,
and R. S. Condit, president Of the
Kiwanis club of Clarkdale.
President A. j. Mackey, almost as
soon as he opened the meeting
turned the gavel over to Bert Cam
eron, chairman for the day, who at
once handed it to Mr.. DeCamp.
Supervisor Moore was the first
speaker He said that while formerly
there had been little encouragement
in the hope to secure forest funds for
building the much-needed Oak Creek
highway, there are good prospects
now that funds will soon be avail
able, especially if the government
builds the approach road to Grand
Canyon, which would leave the Clints-
Well road about the only one on the
forest program still to finish. he
asked that this county send delegates
to the joint meeting in Phoenix next
Thursday of the officials of the U. S.
bureau of public roads, the U. S.
forest service and the state highway
department, when funds will be al
lotted for highway construction; also
that we urge our representatives in
congress to use their influence for
early construction of the Oak Greek
highway.
Miss Grace Sparkes, following
highly complimentary introduction by
Mr.. DeCamp, who intimated what ev-
eryone knows-that she's the most
capable secretary of chamber of
commerce in the United States, graph
ically emphasized the need for coop
GRAFTON between all the cities of the
state, that all may develop to the
fullest extent.
This is just before the dawn of
new era for Arizona, she said. The
Ehrenburg bridge, now being built
over the Colorado west of Prescott
between Arizona and California will
bring thousands Of additional cars
into Arizona every month, she said.
The completion of the Lees Ferry
bridge over the Colorado in the north
part of this county will bring addi-
tional thousands of cars. Proposed

CHINESE CAFE OWNER IS
ROBBED OF $40 IN CASH
SUSPECT IN COUNTY JAIL

HON Chez, proprietor of the Coco
nino restaurant on Santa Fe avenue
was robbed of $47O in currency last
Saturday night by a youth believed
by county officers to have been
Shorty" Webster. His roommate,
Cecil Dennison, is being held at the
county Jail for completely in the mat
ter.
Chez reported to the sheriff's office
Saturday evening that he had been
robbed of large sum of money
which he had cached away in tin
box in his bedroom in the rear of the
restaurant. The theft took place be-
tween the hours of 600 and TOO
o'clock while Chez was busy in his
place of business.
Shorty" who had been hanging
around the restaurant for some days
was Immediately connected up with
the crime by officers and a search at
once made for him, but he gave
officers the slip and to date has sue
cessfully eluded capture.
About 1870 the night of the rob-
berry Dennison, in company with Chez,
came to the county Jail and told
officers that he had found $140 in his
suitcase and note from Shorty"
when he had gone to his room. The
note read: Dear Denny. So long,
give my heartiest thanks to Willy
Shorty" The willy" referred to in
the note is Chez, a nickname under
which the restaurant proprietor goes.
Both Deputy Sheriff Art Vandevier
and Constable Bum" Black say they
made an exhaustive search of the per-
sonal effects of both Webster and
Dennison shortly after the robbery
and that the money was not in the
suitcase then and that the latter had
kept a watch on the room until after
the time Dennison stated he had gone
to his home and found the money and
note.
Officers infer that Dennison and
Webster and a girl connected in the
case had split the money three ways
and that when Dennison found the
trail getting hot had become panicky
and turned his share of the money
over to officers thinking to clear
himself According to the sheriff's
office the handwriting on the note
that Dennison professed to have found
and his own are identical, making
it look as though he had tried to
place all the blame on Webster in
an attempt to clear himself.
Dennison will be held under $1,000
bonds for the next session of superior
court.

HIGH GRID TEAM AT
WINSLOW TOMORROW

The local high school football team
goes to Winslow tomorrow where
they meet the strong Winslow high
team in game to be played at p. m.
In the three games the Eagles"
have played, they tied two and lost
one, and are determined to break the
jinx in tomorrow's game and get into
the win column. Winslow has a strong
er team this year than for several
seasons, having defeated Jerome,
Clarkdale and Eagar in their previous
games. Flagstaff knows the strength
of the Winslow team and realizes that
they will have to play good hard foot
ball every minute of the game if they
are to win.
Coach Preston plans to take his en-
tire squad on the trip and it is possible
that most of them will see action in
part of the game The probable
starting line-up for Flagstaff win be-
Caffey, left end; Wright, left tackle;
Slipher, left guard; Brandes, center;
Thomas, right guard; Dunman, right
tackle; Wolfe, right end; Mier or Free
man, quarterback; Captain Cameron,
fullback; June and Prochnow, half
backs.
1t is expected that several carloads
of students and fans will accompany
the team.

MISS AS GOOD AS A MILE

Rev. Fr. Albouy and George Flem-
ing at o'clock Wednesday morning
gave a beautiful exhibition Of clever
driving and avoided what otherwise
would have been a disastrous automo-
bile accident. George was crossing
Beaver at Aspen on his way to work
when FIR. Albouy, hurrying north on
Beaver, failed to see that the way was
not clear because of another car in
the way. George jammed on the
brakes and made sharp turn north,
while the Padre stopped almost in his
tracks and spun a complete circle, and
barely missed the Fleming machine.

ALLEGIANCE WITH RED
CROSS ASKED BY MAYOR
In MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

In formal proclamation issued
yesterday, Mayor D. L. Hogan has
asked all citizens of Flagstaff to re-
new their allegiance to the American
Red Cross during the 11th annual
roll call for members which opens
next Friday and will continue through
until Thanksgiving day.
Mayor Hogan points out that the
relief organization is out for 100000
members this year, an increase in the
enrolment of nearly 100000 over
last years figure Flagstaff's quota
of the 100000 is placed at a mini
mum of 500. Mayor Hogan's procla-
nation reads in part:
"The American Red Cross is open
ing next Friday its 18th annual roll
call for members, summoning the
people of this country to enlist in its
ranks so that each may share in the
advancement of its work both at
home and in foreign lands.
Membership in this great army
should be considered a privilege and
obligation. The most democratic or
ganization in the world, the Red Gross
is dependent, for its very existence,
upon the support it receives from the
rank and file of the people who, at
roll call time, pay their dues and re-
ceive certificate of membership.
"Those dues, offered by the rich
and poor alike, form a fund which
enables the Red Cross to go immedi-
ately into action when a tornado
strikes or when a Mississippi flood
drives thousands from their homes.
ut enables the United States to
play the role of philanthropist among
nations. Countries poorer than ours,
crushed by disaster, are helped by
your dues and mine, and international
bonds Of friendship are welded that
surely must lessen the danger of war.
Il strongly urge every man, woman
and child in this community to become
members of the Red Cross during the
coming roll call Our local chapter is
counting on enlisting 500 members at
least, and, when the campaign is end
ed, it will be satisfaction to every
one in Flagstaff to know that we have
played our part in boosting the
membership of the national Red Cross
to the figure it certainly deserves to
attain"

the Flagstaff city schools, is chair
man of the drive committee

Grid Pot Boiling At
High School As Big
Pigskin Tilt NeGrs

Local fans are preparing for the
annual Armistice day football game
between Flagstaff and Williams high
schools which will be played on the
City park field next Friday afternoon.
This game has come to be the classic
IN high school circles In northern Ari-
zona and because of the rivalry exist
ing between the two teams always
attracts large crowd.
On past records the two teams seem
to be evenly matched, Williams hav-
ing lost to Gallup, New Mexico, King
man and Jerome, while Flagstaff has
played tie games with Prescott and
Jerome and lost to Clarkdale. Last
year in the two games played, each
team won one, Williams taking the
Armistice day game by a score of
1878. Two games were scheduled this
year but because of the Flagstaff
school being closed the early season
game was cancelled.
Due to the fact that the Flagstaff
team was a month late in starting
practice, they have been handicapped
this season. This lack of experience
has shown in their previous games
but they have shown a noticeable i'm
provement during the past two weeks
and ought to be playing in top form
next week. Coach Preston has a WE'LL
balanced backfield in Captain Cam
eron, Prochnow, June, Mier and Free
man but so far they have failed to
function properly with the line. CAT
fey, Brandes, and Dunman are the
only veteran linemen while Thomas,
Shpher, Wolfe, Wright, Steinmetz, Nc
Cauley and Hance are playing their
first football. These boys have plenty
of fight and ability and as soon as they
learn to play together as team viii
be hard to stop.
The whole school is beginning to
pep up in anticipation of the coming
game and are backing the team to the
limit to beat Williams.

Division of Tract
OF Land on Mormon
Lake Is Under Way

For the first time Mormon Lake
will be opened to summer home own
ers on a. large scale with the an
nouncement from NJ d. Tombler, own
er of Tombler's Lodge that plans have
been completed for the subdivision of
a S8-acre tract of land which lies
next to the lodge The subdivision is
made up of the original Mormon Lake
townsite and is part of the acreage
owned by Mr.. Tombler.
The tract is a beautiful piece of
ground lying on the first bench from
the lake. The land bordering the lake
shore has been reserved for an 49,
hole golf course, tennis and croQuet
courts, playground, work on which
will be commenced this winter. The
land is covered with a natural pine
growth and the only timber which
will be taken out is that which has to
be removed for the drives. The tract
has natural drainage and is ideally
situated for small home owners. This
coming winter, Mr.. Tombler will also
build a swimming pool and enlarge
the lodge dance hall, making it serve
the double purpose of ballroom and
theater.
The subdivision will be served with
fresh water from a large spring To-
Gated a short distance from the tract
and which is now supplying water to
the lodge. Electric lights will be as
sured builders in the subdivision with
in the next year or so when power
line is brought up from Roosevelt.
Telephone service is already available
at the lodge and can be extended to
individual owners as soon as the ne
cessity arises. Mr. Tombler has the
postmastership for the Mormon Lake
district which will give convenient
daily mail deliveries to the district.
The sale of the lots is being handled
by the firm of Hartwell & Hall, Glen
dale, Ariz., realtors, who will start an
active selling campaign in the south
ern part of the state this week.
Plans of the selling agents include an
extensive advertising campaign in all
of the daily newspapers of the state.
The lots, the average size of which is
1OOx50 feet will sell for $3.50 each.
No allotment of property will be
made until the first of May when
big barbecue and dance will be held at
the subdivision for the drawing of lot
numbers. This method insures every
property owner of an equal chance as
to location of their lots and keeps the
cream" from being sold off in the
beginning. It is the intention of the
agents to dispose of most of the lots
in the southern and central part of
the state, concentration Of selling ef-
forts being placed in and about Phoe-
nix. Restrictions as to who may
purchase in the subdivision have al
ready been made.

new EPIPHANY PARISH
HOUSE is DEDICATED

Formal dedication of the new parish
house addition to Church of Epiphany
Sunday morning was an impressive
occasion. Bishop Walter Mitchell of
Phoenix was here for the event which
took place before the regular morn
ing service.
The procession formed in the
church and marched down the hall
led by crucifer Clifford Jones. Fol-
lowing him were members of the
junior chior. The congregation fell
into line and marched into the as
sembly hall where the bishop pro-
nounced the blessing on the new build
ing and offered prayers. Bishop
Mitchell then conducted theasregular
Sunday morning service in the church
An informal housewarming dinner
was held Saturday night when men,
bers of the parish and friends filled
the newly completed parish house to
capacity.
There was an informal program of
musical numbers and speeches.
Bishop Mitchell made few remorks,
Miss Grace Tabor, extension secre-
tary of the woman's auxiliary of the
Episcopal church, spoke of women's
part in church work, and DR.. E. S.
Miller gave an account of the found
ing of Epiphany church in Flagstaff.
Archie Grant, contractor who was
in charge of construction of this an
mex to the church, came in for ap-
probation for his success in carrying
out to the minutest detail the archi-
tect's idea. The church plant is now
complete in every respect Beautiful
within, as well as without, it is
structure which adds greatly to the
city. Flagstaff may be proud of this
lovely house of worship of English
architecture which commands the
head of Beaver street.
