DEMINC TEAM IS
here READYF FOR
BULLDOGS GAME


The Deming high school football
team arrived in the city last evening
ready for the whistle that will send
them against the Douglas Bulldogs.
This is a noIl-conference tilt but
Coach Warren is anxious to score up
win as the games that follow are
conference games and may decide
the championship of Arizona. The
Tucson Badgers and Phoenix Coyotes
meet today at the capital city in d
game where fur will fly. Last year
the Badgers won 13 to IL and the
Phoenixians are ready to retrieve
that defeat.
The Douglas Bulldogs are ready
after a week of hard training and
will endeavor to send the New Mexico
team home with the short end OF
the score today Last year Deming
threw a scare into the Bulldogs by
coming back strong in the last frame
after being whipped into submission
in the third quarter. A strong aerial
game is supposed to be- the visitors
best bet and the local defense has
been practising to smear these par
ticular plays.
The Deming team comes here with
three victories to their credit over
New Mexico high school teams, SO
a hard game is anticipated
The game today represents the
fourth game between these schools,
Douglas having won all three previous
contests.
The results have been as follows:
192C-Douglas, 20; Deming IA.
1921-Douglas, 20; Deming, 0.
1926-DouglaS, 4; Denning, 0.
Seven years ago strong Douglas
team under the direction of Coach
"Pinky'' Heinz journeyed to Deming
and came back with the long end
OF the score Until the last few
minutes of play Deming led IA to 13,
but Captain "Hotty'' Stevens, fleet
footed halfback zig-zagged, squirmed
and wriggled through broken field
for IS yards for a touchdown and
tied the score. Fullback Harris, one
of the strongest line plungers ever
developed in Arizona converted for
the extra point; All during the game
Harris and Stevens We'd for honors.
Stevens made sensational runs
through broken field while Harris
bucked the line for substantial gains
which ultimately won the game.
A year later Deming was no threat
for the locals and Douglas won 20
10 . by Sklrtlng the ends and reeling
OH long gains through the line
= Games between the two schools
were resumed again last year and
Douglas won a hard fought game at
Demlng 2 to 0, when Captain Joe
Causey took the ball over from the
seven yard line in the last down.
He crossed the last white chalk mark
Z untouched while the home BOYS were
wondering what had happened as
they had repulsed three previous line
attacks and sent the Douglas BOYS
for losses.
The game today will be, a hard
fought contest and Diuglas fans will
have real treat in the wav of q
grid struggle. The time if the game

The only game that Deming has lost
this season was to the strong Las
Cruces team which last Saturday de-
feated El Paso 10 to o.
at a late hour last evening Coach
Biyens was unable to give his lineup
