Coolidge Hears
PyIe's Message
From Macarthur
Noted Radio Commentator
Gives Vivid Picture Of Pa
cific Experiences. Finishes
Talk With Message.

A message OF outstanding sig
nificance was brought TO Coolidge
when Howard Pyle, widely-known
radio commentator who has recent
ly returned from the South Pacific.
addressed a joint meeting OF Rotary
and Lions here at noon and the
Desert Womans Club at its club
house southwest OF Coolidge In the
afternoon. II is a tribute TO his talk
that many of the men who heard
him a noon phoned their wives to
be sure 10 go TO the Desert Club
10 hear him that afternoon. His
appearance here was arranged by
hrs. Josephine Borree. member OF
the Desert Womans Club and pro-
gram chairman for the day.
The climax OF his talk and the
real message he brought back from
the Pacific was reached when Pyle
told of an interview war CORES
pondents had with General Nc
Arthur. whom they expected TO find
brief and elated from victory-in-
stead. he was thoughtful. After
the usual questions were asked.
pyle said TO the general: What do
you think OF the prospect OF
peace?" II took Macarthur twenty
minutes to answer that question.
Only America has not felt In her
own country the indescribable toll
OF war. but II there Is another
war" Macarthur told the corre-
spondents: America will not es-
cape. for there will be weapons SO
terrible. so devastating that human
ity will be wiped out. And II
would be no great loss unless man
can learn 10 live in peace" This.
from Macarthur. who said he wished
that every man and every woman
on earth. regardless OF what II cost
them in suffering. might see what he
had seen.
The thought Pyle left with his
hearers was that unless each man
starts building character into him
self. we can never hope for peace.
The place 10 begin Is not with those
we hate. but each man with him
self. The ancient Chinese prayer
he quoted was; God protect your
church. bring integrity into our
homes. character TO those who
dwell in them-and begin with me
first.
The Desert Womans Club was
host to all womens clubs In the
valley for this outstanding program.

Bears Trounce
Gophers Is To 7
On Friday Night
Coolidge Team Considerably
Outweighed, Plays Brill
ant Game. McEuen, Schell
And Wing Outstanding.

The Coolidge Bears kept their
winning streak intact Friday night
when they downed the Florence
Gophers in an exciting and thrill
packed game. The final score was.
Bears l3. Gophers Z.
The Florence team threatened to
tie the game up In the last 80 sec
onds OF play. but pass to Eddie
Cathemer. Gopher end. in the Bear
end zone was called back when
Florence's backfield was detected
in motion. and the Gophers penal
lZed five yards. On the next and
final play the Gophers. in despera-
ton. attempted another pass which
was DETECTED by Mack McEuen.
Bear back. and intercepted by Mar
lin Wing. Coolidge quarterback.
as the game ended.
The Gophers kicked off to open
the game aud It took the lighter
Bear eleven only three minutes to
score after a drive OF 6s yards.
Mack McEuen produced a lot OF
this yardage on drives through the
vaunted Florence line and went
over standing up for the last five
yards and the touchdown. Jimmie
Davis converted.
Florence received the ensuing
kickoff but after registering sew
eral first downs were forced to
kick to the Bears as the second
quarter opened.
The Bears again started goalward
with McEuen. Davis and Eddie
Schell alternating in carrying the
ball to the six-yard line. At this
point McEuen. Bear signal caller.
engineered the prettiest play of the
game when he sent Schell into the
end zone for the winning pass. So
intent were the Gophers on stop
ping Davis and McEuen that not a
single Florence player was within
shouting distance OF Schell.
The third quarter was a see-saw
battle with neither team being able
to gain consistently Each eleven
registered three first downs this
quarter.
In the final quarter the Gophers.
25 pounds per man weight advant-
age. began to pay off as the smaller
Coolidge boys began to tire. jim
minez led by 210 pound Gutierrez,
broke through the 135 pound Bear
guards and ran 5S yards for the
Gopher's touchdown. Gutierrez con-
verted.
Shortly after this the Gophers
converted a Bear tumble and began
a drive which was cut short by the
Gopher penalty and the watch as
told above.
This victory runs the Bear string
to 23 consecutive victories since
1912 and to six in a row over Flor
ence since 1889.
