Circumstances sometimes combine
to make what we call a "coinci-
dent, and once in blue moon a
coincidence provides the long hoped
for opportunity. Isn't it the truth?
Well, just such rare opportunity
is shaping up for Arizona in the
field which has been the subject
of this column for the last four or
five months History has SO design
ed it's pattern Of events as to pre-
duce al coincidence which can really
put this state on the map as a
world tourist center. Here's the re-
lnarkable combination:

by American tourists this year than

conducive to the 'travel America"
idea, but tourist agencies of all kinds
are advertising to take advantage
of this same trend.
(2)-The Four Hundredth Ami
versary of Arizonas discovery by
Vasquez de Coronado provides the
ideal time for a campaign to ere
discover Arizona. The great Coro-
nado Exposition is being publicized
not only in the Southwest but
throughout the country and the
world. For Arizona, it is merely
matter of tying in.
Coronado first set foot in Arizona
at Naco. From Naco to the Grand
Canyon modern tourists can retrace
the steps of the great explorer-see-
ing in comfort and safety all the
grandeur viewed by Coronado and
his men in long months of hard
ships and bold adventure.

Cibola" sought by Coronado are sur
passed by seven and seventy natural
wonders carefully marked on tourist
maps of Arizona today-wonders of
God made accessible at last by in
ventive genius of man over a period
of four hundred years. Modern
tourists succeed where Coronado
failed. In addition to natural Won
ders, the "rediscoverer Of Arizona"
today sees, experiences and enjoys
the gifts of miraculous technical de-
velopment grated upon the ageless
miracles of nature With modern &C
commodations, smooth, broad high
ways, guide services, inviting restau-
rants, taverns, hotels, ranches and
camps, these 1910 "rediscoverers"
can safely explore the farthest
reaches of Arizona's open spaces
and hidden wonders.
Our state is crossed east and
west, north and south, by great U.
S. highways, leading the tourist
right to the "end of the rainbow
where he will find the particular
pot of gold' he has picked as his
vacation goal. This is indeed the
ideal season for Arizona to 'redis-
cover their own state. Moreover,
knowing the opportunity offered us
by history's condolences, aren't we
restless to TELL THE WORLD
ABOUT 1T AND INVITE THE
WORLD TO OUR OPEN DOOR?

LIONS FAVORED
BY RABID FANSTER

Leadership of the Island City
Basketball League will be at
stake tonight when the three
clubs tied for first-place take the
floor in the third doubleheader
of the new season.
The opening contest. will fur
nish the fireworks. Army and
High School have each won their
initial game and the victorious
five tonight will be assured of a
two-way tie for the leadership, if
not gaining sole possession.
Most local basketball experts
are stringing along with the stud
ents due to their youth. How
ever, results of the games played
by these teams favor the Sol
diers. High School had a tough
battle in its opening fight with
the Marines Monday night, barely
edging the Leathernecks for vic
tory. On the other hand, the
Doughboys breezed to an easy
triumph over the VP53 Airmen
Wednesday night. The strength
of the Marines and AviatOrs has
not been fully displayed as yet
and therefore one cannot place
too much emphasis on the scores
of those games.
Regardless of which club comes
out victorious, fans may rest as
Sured the studious Students and
shooting Soldiers will be in there
fighting every minute-and may
the best team win. -.....-
Lions Club, 1910 champs and
the third member Of the tied trio,
takes on the Airmen in the sec
ond fracaS of the night. 1t goes
without saying the Civic boys are
favored to crush the AviatorS
with their perfect teamwork and
deceptive plays.
The VP manager claims his
outfit has a number of outstand-
ing basketeers and may produce
them tonight to ward off their
second straight defeat. In de-
fense of the Aviators, it can be
said that the exigencies of the air
force makes it next to impossible
to predict just who will play on
any given night. Last-minute or
ders may deprive the club of one
or all of its best players. Yet, it
is possible strong lineup will
be presented tonight, and if that
happens the Lions are in for a
whale of a fight

our BOOTS WON'T
Faturity "Hex" Says No
WIN DERBY RACE?
OBy Associated Press)


LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec 13.-
It's too bad about Our Boots.
The Woodvale Farms sterling
colt, by winning the SS7, 400 Bel
mont Futurity, is listed at the
top of the years two-year-old
runners.
Now he can't win the Kentucky
Derby next year-poor Our
Boots.
For those who might think
that a high-handed way of deal
ing a contender out of the 1941
Derby, let it be said that the Bel
mont Futurity "hex" is no ordi-
nary superstition.
The Derby has been run since
1875. The Belmont Futurity has
been going on since 1888. Horses
that won the Futurity have been
coming up to the Derby most OF
those years-but none ever won
it.
The thousands who saw the
1910 Derby remember the jinx
best.
Bimelech won the Belmont Fu-
turity last year. He was the class
of his two-year-old crop. Un-
beaten as a three-year-old, he
started in the Derby as an unpre-
cedented favorite
But Bimmy was looking at
Gallahadion's heels at the pay
off line.
There are countless others to
discourage consideration of two
year-old records when talking
about the Derby. Some of the
Futurity winners in recent years
who failed in the Churchill
Downs three-year-old classic
were Porter's Mite, Menow, Pom
poon, Top Flight and Whichone.
And now poor Our Boots.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Dec.
13.-Colorado, state that has
plenty of snowy peaks and its
