The Coconino sun., 1927-10-28

their bodies Dame in contact with
one Of the invaders it meant a few
minutes for time out. Coach Lavik
used nearly 80 men during the entire
game and gave practically every man
who was suited up chance to demon
strate to him that he could hold his
own and then some against the heav-
ier but less experienced opponents.
/ Coach Lavik, finding himself with
/ out the services Of Stevens and Zaner,
his two stellar backs, at the begin
ming of the second stanza of the game,
was forced to send in some of his
| freshman squad. It was through this
mishap that he discovered Fred Pear,
youth matured only by the fact that
| he was endowed with daring and
elusiveness. For this blond-headed
wizard time after time kept the huge
crowd thrilled with his spectacular
open field running. 1t was JOY to
see this strapping youth of IL sum
mers start off on one of his Jaunts
through the Tempe line. Starting off
as if he were late to breakfast at the
dining hall, he would pick up speed,
halt momentarily to shake off two or
three tacklers, pivot, and IN flash
he was bounding down the field, only
to find another half dozen Tempe
Bulldogs on his heels At this point,
this tow-headed yearling would leave
his feet and "over the top" would he
go.
While the Flagstaff yell leaders on
the west side Of the field would turn
handsprings of pure ecstasy and JOY
the Tempe followers pleaded for lit
tie action when the Flagstaff forward
wall tore holes in the Tempe lie big
enough to drive wagons through
Flagstaff gained 408 yards from
scrimmage, making % first downs to
their opponents two. Tempe only
gained 38 yards from scrimmage and
lost twice as much as that when the
swift forwards of the local college
would tear through the line and down
the Bulldog backs for q loss.
While Tempe had to resort to punt
ing to keep their goal line from be-
ing crossed too many times, their
punts averaged less than that Of Coach
Lavik's boys. The tally sheet showed
that the average yards OF Tempe's
boots were only 32 while Flagstaff
kickers punted 3S.
Tempe only completed one pass out
Of seven tries while the Lumberjacks
made three good out of ten attempts.
Both sides were anxious through
out the game, causing frequent pen
alties, with Flagstaff receiving 50
yards against Tempe's 45 yards. l..
L. Britt of Winslow, who refereed the
game, received the admiration OF the
crowd for his naasterful work in han
ding the game and for the informa-
ton given to the rooters on the many
penalties called.
On criss cross play in the closing
minutes of the second quarter, J. 3.
Easley, Flagstaff end, carried the ball
/ over for the second touchdown, Brlm-
hall failing to convert.
After Fred Pear had alternated with
Nose Cooper in carrying the ball down
the field, ard when it looked like an
other touchdown was needed, Billie
Black, going into the game q couple
of minutes before Coach Lavlk had IN
tended, was given the ball, and on an
off-tackle play plunged through the
Tempe line and passed the secondary
defense for the last score oil the game,
Cooper failing to convert.
Tempe never had a chance to score.
Flagstaff completely outplayed, OUT
fought and outgeneraled them in ev-
cry department of the game. There
was not one outstanding man on the
entire Tempe contingent, unless COR
sideration is given to Johnny Riggs
for his punting, and to Dick, Tempe's
end, for his daring attempts to stop
the fleety and shifty backs Of the
Lumberjack team.
Coach Lavik has built up power
