UNDEFEATED WINSLOW
PROFESSIONALS AGAINST
COLLEGE HERE TOMORROW


With the local high school football
warriors lying idle this weekend
Flagstaff Teachers College Lumber
jacks will occupy the attention of the
football followers of the north when
they tangle with Arizona's undefeated
town team from Winslow tomorrow
on McMullen field.
For while it was thought that the
Winslow shop team would be brought
here to play the college freshmen but
injuries to both the varsity and frosh
squads prevented the double bill for
Saturday
The Winslow aggregation have been
making clean sweep of their games
this season, defeating such teams as
the Prescott Cowboys, Winslow APP
prentices and Needles Indians.
While the result of tomorrow's game
will in no way effect the standing of
the college club, Coach Lavik will have
to work his men hard to turn in a
victory as the Meteor City lads always
turn up with strong team and make
creditable showing. In 1924 they
handed the Lumberiacks a sweet
drubbing, "a to IL. 1t is not likely
they will repeat against the we'll
trained locals, but professional team
is capable Of doing the mysterious
when it comes to football.
Rumor is that Mel Rushing, who
was chosen all-state fullback when he
played OF the Flagstaff team in 1925,
will do the major part of the ball carry
ing for the invaders Hitchcock is
coming up and he will be remembered
as the big boy who ran wild against
the locals in their last fracas in 1924.
Both Bob and Glenn Evans, as well as
Paul Thornton, former Winslow high
school stars, will be here. Glenn Evans
played center on the college team the
same year as Rushing. 1t is not
known whether or not the redoubtable
Harold Poe, whose brilliant toe was re-
sponsible for the longest drop kick
thus far registered in state circles,
will be with the team. Poe was by
far the greatest athlete turned out
in Arizona in his high school days
During the Tempe game in 1924, while
member of the college team, Poe
drop kicked from the 42-yard line for
the record.
Dr. Gilpin of Winslow has been
coaching the Meteorites all fall and
they are said to have fast running
offense with a brilliant aerial attack.
Coach Lavik of the college has been
working his proteges long after dark
in an effort to build up his defense
against the pass and has taken Jack
Wilson off the sick list to get him
into shape for the game with Monte
yuma college at Las Vegas, N. M,
Thanksgiving day. Lavik has missed
Wilson a great deal this season on ac-
count of his accurate passing which
has been lacking this fall Wilson
was injured in the Phoenix Junior col
lege game and has been on the bench
ever since.
Tomorrow's game should be inter-
esting to local followers of the Lum-
berjacks since their defeat at the
hands of the University of New Mex
leo last week as it will tend to give
them a line-up on what can be ex-
pected Of the team when they take
their second jaunt into New Mexico
next week.
According to F. C. Osborn, faculty
chairman of athletics, holders of sea-
son tickets will be admitted free to
tomorrow's game and the general adj
mission will be dropped from one dol
lar to fifty cents.
The kickoff will be at 2:30 at Nc
Mullen field. Brick" Preston of the
local high school will handle the game
with Phil McVey and Charlie Fillerup
