WEST FOOTBALL REPORT

The West Bulldogs have been giving
good accounts of themselves this year.
They have defeated some Of their old
rivals that they have never been able
to lick before They have been ham
pered by lack of substitutes for relief
work but have trained hard to keep
in shape for a whole game.
| think mention should be made of
some of the outstanding players. James
Black, sophomore, has just come into
his own since he has been shifted to
left halfback. He has been outstand-
ing on running, passing and defensive
work. Roy Milton, senior, has been
a very valuable man to the team. His
line plunging and good signal calling
has really been an outstanding feature
of the West team.
Troy Floyd the fastest and hardest
working man on the field really deserves
credit for his all around play both on
offense and defense. He has been on
the receiving end of lots of Blacks
passes and has made two count for
in two late games. In the
line offensive play all Of the boys has
been good, with Wallace Provost and
Craft outstanding. "Prevost just doesn't
stop" Hathrock, right end, has shown
up well on blocking and pass receiving.
Defensively our line has done a great
Job. Craft has been the main cog on
defense. The team as whole has re-
sponded well to coaching this year, and
really seems interested in football.

HOLBROOK, Ariz., Jan. 3l.-Eagle
Nest Rock, huge sandstone pinnable
in the petrifled forest national mon
ument, is no more.
1t toppled and was smashed into
innumerable pieces early this week,
Supt. Thomas Whitcraft reports.
He said a strong wind Tuesday night
or Wednesday morning probably
rocked the formation the fraction
of an inch necessary to overbal-
ance it.
The rock, about 80 feet high, was
perched on a slender neck so pre-
cariously that the thousands Of
sightseers who saw it wondered If
it were not defylng the laws OF
gravity.
A family of eagles, that had made
their home atop the pinnacle for
many years, suddenly departed three
or four years ago and park author
tiles at the time expressed belief
the rock was doomed.
