FLAGSTAFF HIGH TIES
WITH PRESCOTT 1912
IN FAST GRID BATTLE

In hotly contested game last Fri
day at the City park, the Flagstaff
and Prescott elevens, neither able to
win the extra point, played to 1912
tie. The score with but eight min
utes to play stood 1910 in Prescott's
favor Then by passes and plunges
and long ground-gaining runs the
Eagles pushed over two touchdowns.
Cameron, June, and Prochnow starred
in the backfield for the locals, while
Hubbard and Marchello shared hon-
ors for the visitors.
Due to the short two weeks peac-
tice and the inexperience Of several
of its members the home teamwork
was a little ragged. This coupled
with the fact that the Badgers li8e
stiffened perceptibly cost Flagstaff
the game For twice the Eagles We're
within seven yards of the line, but
lacked the punch to put it over.
Captain Babe" Cameron made one
Of the touchdowns which was ac-
quired from the three yard line by
way of the center. Prochnow made
the other after receiving a pass.
SPEEDY" Mier was injured early in
the game while returning punt.
Even so, he revived and started the
second half, but again was forced
from the game, but not before he had
helped nightly to bring the ball to
Prescotbs fifteen yard hne.
Slipher, Dunman, Brands, Thomas
and Steinmetz held down the middle
Of the line Wolf and Caffey played
ends, stopping many runs and pfovld-
ing excellent interference.
Prescott showed fight whenever
their goal was threatened. On the
two occasions when they made touch
downs they seemed to advance with
out effort. Their main attack was the
aerial by which they gained many a
yard after their line plays had failed.
Hubbard, theil most versatile play
er, had the misfortune in the third
quarter TO break his ankle, a costly
accident. Still Marchallo, quarter
back, produced battling plays. With
Hubbard, their best man, out, Pres
cott's punting attempts were smoth-
cred, and one was brought hack to
the nine yard line by Prochnow, half
back, who, ON the next play, received
a pass and carried it over the goal
line for the Eagles first touchdown.
Substitutes for Flagstaff who
showed well were Wright and Nc
Cauley who in turn took the place Of
steinmetz, guard, freeman, who took
Mier's place, showed up well as a fast,
hard-hitting halfback.
With this weeks practice Coach
Preston is confident that he viii have

Officials were: Jack Wilson, Of n.

Knoles, head linesman; McVey, time
keeper.

DAMEWOOD AS HIRAM
CHAIRMAN PUTS OVER
EXCELLENT PROGRAM

That the Hirams were to be duly
and properly instructed as well as en-
tertained was Immediately brought
into evidence when Capt. G. E. Dame
wood, president of the club, reserved
the privilege Of acting as chairman
Of the day and proceeded to put on
the program. His excuse was that he
had procrastinated in making arrange
ments to otherwise take care of the
day. However, with each number
presented those present became more
and more convinced that for once pro-
| crastination was virtue.
Our two new members Of the Flag
staff high school staff furnished the
music. Miss Carpenter sang two
beautiful solos accompanied by Miss
Barber on the piano. This number
not only brought forth hearty ap-
plause which was IN nowise perfume
tory but also urged the remark that
much as the club regretted the going
away of Miss Aas, the former high
school music teacher, who so highly
entertained the club on numerous oc-
casions during the year past, here in
these two young ladies present, the
club had something to look forward to
the coming year if their kindness
equalled their musical ability, which,
of course, their kindly appearance
so easy to take-gave every reason
for sincere hopes.
Mr.. Hazeltine, president of the
Bank Of Arizona at Prescott, was next
introduced. Mr. Hazeltine was in at
tendance at Flagstaff al the state
bankers convention. He was very
properly preseHted to the club with
the information thai there was every
reason to beliexe That Mr.. Hazeitine
was a financier cf no mean ability.
| Nevertheless we also had financiers
in other walks Of life even among
| the membership of the club itself. For
was it not fact that during the
youth or teens of a certain member
that so much as $4,000 clear was
made in one trade when the boy sold
the family dog for that sum Of money.
When asked how come, the boy re-
piled: Father, I sold them for two
five thousand dollar cats. Mr.. Hazel
tine spoke briefly on the subject Of
the pioneer spirit Of Arizona, and al
though he would have had as believe
he was not an adept at speaking he
would probably have no trouble quail
flying for after dinner speeches.
The very practical and community
business side of the program was ably
filled by a talk of County Attorney
+. M. Gold, who gave a detailed re-
port of the Grand Canyon conference
between the congressional committee
and representatives citizens of Flag
staff and Williams on the subject Of
the proposed sale Of Bright Angel
trail and the building Of the Grand
Canyon approach road by the govern
ment.
Guests Of the day were Miss Bar
ber, Miss Carpenter, Mr.. Hazeltinc,
Walter L. Lindblom Of Williams, and
JOS Schmidt.

ARE ORGANIZATIONS
OVER ORGANIZED!

P j. Moran, as chairman Of the
Rotary meeting Tuesday, provided a
rather unique program in that ii
pointed out some of the idiosyncrasies
of the present day ideas Of appointing
committees and starting an organlza-
tion for about every conceivable com
munity problem. 1t was an article
read by John @. Thomas and covered
the ground in many instances. In
stead Of collecting a couple dollars
per member when needed for a cause,
the present day idea seems to run to
the appointment of committees who
organize a show which usually costs
each member SO aside from time cut.
Personal publicity for the committee
most often being the main idea rather
than merely producing results in the
cheapest and most direct way The
title of the article was Gathering
Goat Feathers"
Miss Michaela Carpenter favored
the club with a solo, with Miss Doro-
thy Jane Barber as accompanist.
Owing to the fact that the club is
running very strongly to golf, Tommy
Knoles gave a humorous explanation
on "What Is Golf?" That it was a
course of 18 holes, 1T Of which were
superfluous, a liar with $500 worth Of
clubs and trick suit of pants, seemed
to be the main idea. The little ball
could not be thrown, pushed, showed
or carried but must be beaten around
the 18 cups within 81 strokes, even il
subtractions were necessary.
Secretary Tom Mccullough advised
that the Flagstaff club was in a con-
test with the Winslow club, but our
record wasn't so good.
Padre Albouv made his first ap-
.pearance Tuesday since returning
from three months visit to his old
home in France and was heartily
greeted.
Visiting Rotarian Carl Walters of
Kingman was present. Visitors were:
Roger Lowell Putnam, of Spring
field, Mass; Mr. Brown Of Los An
geles; r. E. Nelson, Flagstaff.
