showed that the men boarding in town
had a two point higher average than
those living on the campus.
Rivalry has begun among the diff
ferent dormitories to raise their

For the men this means great
amounts of midnight oil will have to
be burned if they are to top the list
for the winter quarter.

The college frosh casaba artists
left here Wednesday evening to play
two games in enemy territory, one at
Prescott last night with the Cowboys
and one tonight at Clarkdale with
the strong high school team.
Although this will be first at
tempt of the frosh team that has
been playing in the class above it is
believed they will put up a hard
struggle and give good account of
themselves.
The frosh will be somewhat handi-
capped in both games due to the loss
of two of their best players who are
with the varsity squad on their in
vasion of New Mexico and Texas.
The Cowboys have been defeated by
our Varsity four times and the frosh
are determined to add another de-
feat
Clarkdale high has developed one
of the strongest teams in northern
Arizona but the frosh are confident
they can subdue them the same as
they did Winslow and st. Johns.
Hoddy Stevens, mentor and F. c..
Osborn, faculty chairman of athletics
accompanied them.
