These men, who gained athletic
fame under Coach Tom Brown
(now athletic directoraof the West
Side Boys Club, have played bas-
ketball together for nearly ten
years and today rate as one OF the
city's strongest fives. Added to
their roster has been mighty Joe
Batiste, nationally known track
star, now a student at Arizona
State Teachers College at Tempe.
Both Warren and Batiste were
regulars in Tempe's backfield of
their 1916 football team. Ford
Smith, pitcher for the Kansas City
Monarchs, still holds the high
school football throwing record in
Arizona. IN
At 7:3O p. m. a preliminary con-
test is scheduled between Coach
McClellan's Eastlike Park bas-
keteers and Coach Rudy Revus'
Riverside Park quintet, team of
Spanish-American fellows of the
city Metropolitan League. A dance
will follow the games.
The Westside Boys Club COM
pleted the touch football series
with the Eastside Boys Club with
a 1921 victory. The intermediate
team from Seventh Avenue gained
an early lead and were never tied
throughout the game. Lonnie
Steward scored two touchdownS in
the first quarter to put the game
on ice.
THE Eastside boys from Van
Buren Street had some standout
passing by Frank Aleman and SUI
perior defensive play by Dick Liden
but did not have the power to ward
off the open field running of Lon
ME Steward and the stellar line
play of Cowboy Brown. Score at
the half was 1877.
Some of the glory attained by
the football team of the West Side
boys was lost in the volley ball
match with the East Side boys
when they dropped two games out
of three, 1911, 1915, 1873.
The football game was played at
the Westside Club Field and the
volleyball game was played at the
Eastside Club Field.

"Time is getting short. Every
veteran should be induced to get
his claim in Immediately"
The new appraisal system for
CT Loans, adopted January 1 by
the Veterans Administration, has
brought many inquiries from Ari-
zona veterans who want to know
what it is all about and what it
means to them, James E. Walden,
Loan Guarantee officer of the VA
Regional Office at Phoenix, said
today.
The system now used by VA diff
fers from the old in only one re-
spect, he explained. VA now in
each case names the appraiser to
investigate and valuate property
which a vetrean wishes to buy with
a CT loan. Under the old system
LIl0 l6IlU6I COu1O CIkOOSS Ola dPRA cAS~
er from a list previously approved
by VA.
What does the change mean to
the veteran? Banks and other
lending institutions believe that the
centralized control of appraisal as
signments by VA should assure
loan applicants of the complete
impartiality of the appraisers. The
appraiser is in no way dependent
on the lender, the seller, the broker
or the builder for the work heaiS
called upon to do. ~
The individual veterans pfoce-
dure in applying for a CT loan re-
mains the same as it has always
been. After the veteran has decid-
ed on his property and consulted
the lender of his choice, the lender
will then call VA which will desig-
nate the appraiser.
Though every effort within the
basic provisions of the law is be-
ing exerted to insure that apprais-
ers live up to their moral and pro-
fessional obligations, Walden en-
phasizes that the loan applicant
must assume his share of respon-

Progressive Builders
Hold Annual Meet

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Progressive Build
ers Association was held at the
main office of the company at oath

First Vice President B. w. Will
liams and Asst. Secy.-Treas. J. B.
Jones made their reports, and re-
viewed the progress of this fast
growing organization for the past
year.
Mr.. Williams reported to the
stockholders how successful the
company was in getting lights,
water and natural gas and that the
contract had been let for paved
streets. He also pointed out that
the above utilities and improve
ments had to be- available before
the Federal Housing and Veterans
administrations would approve the
addition. Mr.. Williams also ex-
planned that all lots in the East
Broadway addition were approved
by the Federal Housing and Vet
erans administrations, and that vet
Grams and civilians can build the
type of home they want and pay
for it as they would pay for rent,
by buying lot in the East Broad
way addition. y
Mr.. Jones reported to the stock
holders that the company has
been in a position to meet all the
obligations they made, and have
converted some of the company's
buildings into much needed living
quarters. He also reported that
half of the company lots that were
for sale have been sold or they
are under contract. He reported
that the Federal Housing and Vet
Grams administrations has guaran-
teed loans totaling seventy-five
thousand dollars to b1ild new
homes and they are under construc-
tion now. Mr.. Jones stated that all
leading agencies in the city OF
Phoenix are anxious to loan money
to build homes in the East Broad

CARVER MONARCHS TO PLAY
MISSION AIL-STARS

M1SSkON AlAA-SIAhS
Carver High School Monarchs
will attempt to stage a comeback
this Saturday, Jan. 25th, on their
home court when they entertain
the Mission All-Satrs formerly
Father Emnett's Mission) quintet.
The Monarchs after winning six
consecutive games hit a streak of
ill-luck with successive losses to
Tucson's Social Counts, Phoenix
Indian School victories were by
four point margins, but Coach Bou-
chard'S knights jolted the Mon
archS with surprising and over
whelming 1888 win. Last night the
Carver cagers played the Wicken-
burg Duds, Wickenburg all-star
team, as preliminary feature to
the Webbco's fracas against the
city's Metropolitan League all
stars at Phoenix Union High School
gymnasium. (The outcome was un-
available at the time of writing
this article)
Carver's hopes of defeating the
Mission will be based on their speed
and ability to hit the hoop, though
both were decidedly off in the three
contests mentioned above. The
Mission team is composed of form
er Carver High greats such as:
Otha Grimes, Garfield Hamms,
Ford Smith, Milton Curry, Morri-
son Warren and Pete Sullivan.

I'm sorry for you. The only colored
band today at the top is that of
Duke Ellington. The rest are white.
There was a time when people
used to hire only Negro bands,
dancers, etc. Now it's different. We
became too sure of ourselves. Don't
forget that white people are hu-
man also land if you can do it so
can they.
You have said to- yourself, "If
the white can fly, why can't II"
The same thing can work in re-
verse. If you can sing, dance, play
a sax like Coleman Hawkins why
can't the white man do it?
Don't estimate a man by his
looks. You may say, "He has no

couldn't even eat in the cafeteria)

Should he let her in? No, she was

his hands and knees. He playfully
bit at pair of woolen legs. Scared

barks tumbled into the air.

pray.

smiled now. ''The play win be big

All the way home Jimmy was a
dog. A big yellow one. He ran
around telephone poles. growing

ise. He did not bark. But he knew
how. He pretended he was on charg-
