NORTH COOLIDGE TO
HAVE A BEAUTIFUL
PARK SOON

Further plans for improving
the North Coolidge park wer e
made at a meeting Thursday
night when the organization of
north Coolidge residents was
formed with H. n. Shelter as
president. The meeting was
held at the park so that those
attending could inspect what
has already been accomplished.
Work on the park site
through donated services and
labor furnished through the
Governors unempl yment re-
lief fund has been under way
since last March. The ground
has all been plowed and leveled
in shape for planting of grass,
walks have been laid out ready
for gravel and beds have been
prepared for roses and other
flowers.
More than 500 hours of labor
have gone into the preparation
of the park thus far, Mr.. Shelter
told the meeting Thursday
night, while only $500 has
been expended, the greater part
of which was spent for pipe and
culyerts in bringing the water
to the park line.
Tamaracks have been plant
ed around the park and have
been growing through the sum-
mer. According to present
plans, shrubs and other plants
will be put out as quickly as
possible, depending upon the
time of year each plant may be
transplanted or started. One
of the features of the park will
be cactus garden in one cor
ner while an aquatic pool will
it from the rose gar
den in the opposite corner.
Heads of committees to carry
on the work of the organization
named by Mr.. Shelter are Chas.
Elledge, fertilizer; d. M. An
dress, gravel; ]. Mullen, irriga-
ton; E. c. High, planting; M.
lies, shrubbery; o. T. Patter-
son, flowers; w. G. Ketchersid,
roses and arbor; J. F. Eisenhart
lawn; j. b. Boone. pool; Jack
Prugel, cactus; G. R. Kurle,
rockery and masonry; Asa Gar
dner, policing, M. Wilke, Sec.
O. Fl Albers who has adopt
ed park planning as a hobby
and through whose efforts the
plans for the park have been
made possible, will be known as
park manager.

CASA CRANDE NATIONAL
MONUMENT MONTHLY
REPORT

Mr.. Palmer reports as follows:
Everything at Casa Grande
has moved along in good shape
during the month of September.
Our visitors showed a decrease
of seven percent over last year,
the total for the month being
l 1856 as against 1879 for the
same month last year. For the
travel year we had 21,895 as
against 1879 last year, a loss
of 1874 or 20.8 per cent. The
loss of 20.S per cent for the
year as against 7 per cent for
the month shows that travel is
picking up some.."
"On the 18th another check
ing system, much more compre-
hensive was installed; which
shows for the last Is days of
the month that $50 cars entered
the monument with a total of
635 visitors, 288 Arizona cars
were counted but only AS visit
ors, an averge of 1.5 visitors
per car, while there were 76
foreign cars and 100 foreign
visitors. or an average of "a
persons per car which would
seem to indicate that the Ari-
zona cars carried some foreign
visitors. Visitors registered
from 20 states, Washington D.
G. and four foreign countries,
All of these visitors were per-
sonally cantacted and 96 trips
or tours were made through the
ruins and 86 trips through the
museum in the Is days fol
which the record was kept. A
lecture was delivered both on
the ruins trip and the museum
trip by the ranger in charge o.
the party. This educationa

college football. True, she did
protest to her older and more
historical rivals. But hers was a
voice in the wilderness.
In the mad rush, Virginia, with
her ideals was trust aside by even
her oldest and best friends.
Onward to victory" was the
slogan now among the colleges,
which might have added, "at
any cost!"
Virginia stood aside in amaze
ment.
Through the din of the mad
rush Virginia's voice rose:
what about our ideals?"
ideals? Rot! Victory is
what counts now; victory at

1t was the answer to Virginia's s
appealing question.
Today Virginia stands proud
that she has retained her self
respect. Perhaps she had been a
bit muddled because of her asso-
Citations. Nevertheless, Virginia
continues her struggle toward an

This statement was made to-

although European nations
expect to send over their
strongest teams. they do not
appear to be able to offer the
champions any real trouble.
Therefore, the Americans are
looked upon as the real con-
tenders.
"The Canadian plan of pick
ing its Olympic team 10 months
before the games are Sched-
uIed to start has definite merit.
And the American team, which
is not selected yet, will have
that handicap to overcome.
However. the Americans lack

offset by two weeks of intensive

creased in number and in size.
Over a period fo years inter-
collegiate sport went from anna
teur to professional. Ideals were
neglected or forgotten in the mad
rush for victory.
It has been said that even a
new language, professional in
tone and accent, sprang up be-
tween the years 1910 and 1881.
What college men once proudly
proclaimed as the team" became
"the club" in this professional
collegiate jargon. If a college
football player missed a signal on
the field of play, years ago, the
ordinary expression, you missed
the signal" was used to explain
the players failure to catch the
signal. Today the expression
you booted that one" is used
to explain the same failure.
Recent events in the general
field of intercollegiate competi-
ton offer conclusive evidences of
the present professional and COM
mercial atmosphere which en-
velops the collegiate game of
football
COmmercialiSm Spreads
AS this professional and COM
mercial atmosphere developed
over a period of time it spread
all over the entire collegiate
world. Here in the South Allan
tic section it spread just as
rapidly as in any other section.
Soon, for professional and COM
mercial reasons, the area once
noted for its keen, clean COM
petitions disintegrated. Uni
verSity of Virginia's struggles to-
ward an ideal were considered
futile.
One by one Virginia'S friendly
rivals undertook programs smack
ing of the professional and COM
mercial Virginia, apparently, at
a loss to understand her old
friends and their actions, was
placed in rather a helpless po-
Sition.
Virginia certainly had to have
opponents in intercollegiate ath-
leticS. She finally consented to
the acceptance as opponents of
many schools with which Virginia
had little or nothing in common,
with which she had little or no
rational basis of competition.
Sticks To Ideal
BY degrees Virginia was jock
eyed into the position of a help
less victim of the widespread
professional and conn ercial l
movement. Through it all, how
ever, Virginia retained her self
respect. nursed in her own heart
an ideal. took her defeats with
a smile and continued her strug-
gle for an ideal, even if that
struggle did involve the loss of
competition after competition.
On all sides Virginia saw the
results of the professional and
commercial movement in collegi-
ate athletics. She saw schools
on every side of her undertake
programs condoned with the pro
fessional and commercial collegi
ate athletic movement. Unwill-
ing to be presumptious, Virginia
sat silently on the side lines in

Rufus Vincent, freshman center

Such action would have seen
three sophomores appearing on

Shipley thinks the stars of last

This was apparent in Scrim-

for $1,000 and was well
pleased because it was $4,000
more than he received in Mil
waukee. No one was more in

this announcement. Shires must
