Escaped Germans
Captured At Odom
Ranch On Monday

Excitement prevailed at the c..
E. Odom Rranch home Monday
afternoon while two escaped Ger
man prisoners sat in front of her
house, eating ravenously, while
she awaited hastily summoned au-
thorities to come and get them"
The prisoners, who had escaped
3 days previously from the Prisoner
of War Camp near Papago Park,
approached Mrs. Odom's car as she
returned home late in the after
noon. They had cotton sacks across
their shoulders, hiding prison num-
bers, but their appearance was such
that she recognized them at once
for what they were, Mrs. Odom
said. They told her in broken Eng
lish that they were escaped Ger
man prisoners, were very tired and
hungry and wanted to go back.
Mrs. Odom, whose husband was
away on business, fed the Germans
and kept sharp eye on them until
the authorities arrived to take over
the job.

Bears Defeat
Panthers Here
Friday57 to "a
Amphitheater eleven fought
hard throughout game
scored twice in last half.
McEuen, Elledge an d
Davis played outstanding
ball for Bears.

Coolidge Bears defeated the Am
pitheater Panthers Friday for the
second time this year. by score
of 57-14. The Panthers never gave
up trying and reached pay dirt
twice in the last half. One touch
down was the result of pass from
Halfback Bob Ellis to Bob Faunce.
Ellis also passed to Chad Germaine
for the other touchdown.
For the Bears, Mack McEuen,
Wayne Elledge, Jimmie Davis and
Eddie Schell were really clicking.
Mack ran over three touchdOwns,
Wayne accounted for two and Davis
also scored twice. Eddie Schell
made the longest run of the. sprint
ing S3 yards behind perfect block
ing for his score. Sprinkles added
the last touchdown when he took
pass over from Kenny Trout on
the Panther 35 and ran the rest of
the way Coaches Wilson and
Lainer were especially pleased with
the work of the reserves who
played part of the last half. Don

Tom Adame and Jack Prefer,
guards, ]. B. Carter and Stanley
Ellis, tackles, and Bill Ware and
Pewee Harmon, ends, ell looked
good enough to step into regular
berths when they are needed.
Tonight at 8:15 the Bears meet
their traditional rivals the Florence
Gophers in what promises to be a
close and hardfought contest. Com
parative scores on the two teams
show them to be almost evenly
matched in scoring and defensive
play The Bears have won six
games and lost none while Flor
ence has won six and lost one.
The Coolidge squad is in perfect
physical shape for the game and
has determined that the Gophers
must prove themselves the better
team tonight if they expect to win.
The Bears realize that any foot
ball team which as won six games
against tough opposition, as the
Gophers have, will be hard to stop.
The Gopher defense has yielded
only q points all season and their
running and passing attack Is the
strongest in years.
The Bears especially fear the
off tackle slants and end sweeps
of Art Alaya, Reuben Jiminez and
Eddie Pratt and the passing threat
to big, rangy Gilardo Padilla,
Florence end. Walter Brunen-
kant and George Guttierez, Flor
ence tackles, are both big and
rough and have played outstanding
ly all year especially on defense.
Lewis Espinosa, Florence guard, is
a specialist out breaking through
the line and throwing the opposing
backs for losses.
The Gopher-Bear series Is tied
at the present, each team having
won 4 games in a 9-year period
with one game at tie. AS in previ-
Gus games between thes two rivals
past records count for little and
the team which Is in the best men,
tai condition tonight will proba-
bly, win the ball game.
