was a bone of contention for a Ions
time. Finally some one cast in the
suggestion that the baseball games
brought fifty cents and that the motor- i in..!
cycle race was just as good as a base- : senate?
ball game. So it was decided to keep
to the standard for the afternoon at

event, such as a mile time trial, was

With two Sox pitchers to assist

Halst.-in is a college man a

He started at Vermont in 1911 and

the Tucson University Week meet. All
ilie schools of the valley are expecting
to send their le-st men to the State
University to participate in the events
which will be .- laged there at that time.
and tlie first real trial of material and
grit will be seen at tin- invitation
met i to be held this Saturday.
Coyote Prospects
The Coyotes have an excellent ten in
of athletes to enter in the events which
.vill be staged at this meet. They have
been on the track since the early part
of the year under the direction of
Coach Geary, the same man who took
the Covotes through the football season
just passed with such high honors, and
under his couching the youngsters of
the P. H. S. have developed several
men who promise to be not only fast
but gritty and heady ovalers.
The Tempe Invitation Meet will de
cide for the Coyotes just how strong
they may expect to be on the circle,
and will furnish the men the oppor
tunity heretofore denied them, that of
getting up against good fellows where
they will have to use their heads and
legs all the lime.
"I do not expect to do such great
things with my men at tile Tempe
meet," siiid Coach Geary, last evening,
"but 1 do hope that they will take
enough events to come near the top.
The main part of the meet to me and
to my team, is the experience they w ill
gain in meeting fellows who will make
them bend down and dig. With the
experience, they will get out of this
and the meet on the 28th. I think I
can develop a track team which will
take all honors hands down, at the
University Week meet."
Geary is not the only one at the high
who is optimistic as to what the Co
yotes will do. All the follows of the
several events are sure they can make
the other fellows go at a terrific speed
to beat their marks, and they have
spent their every effort to develop
themselves under Geary's tutoring to a
point where they will be able to do
'best" work for the school they rep
resent. University Week
There is much interest in the com
ing University Week events all over I
the state. At Prescott there is a
suuad of men practicing daily, find
thev have made the threat that they
will not be tail enders in the final
scoring at the Old Puetiio. especially
are they strong in the half and the
pole and weight events, and they are
bragging that they will take all of the
firsts in these.
Yuma has done a trick that none of
the others have yet thought of. They
have gotten a bunch of the young col
lege athletes in the U. S. R. S. to come
out on the track and show them tne
stunts that will pull the events their
way. In that way they are securing a
coaching that is hard to beat, and are
developing several fast and husky run
ners. Little Snowflake Academy, way up
in the clouds in the northern part of
the state, will again participate in the
U. A. events. Last year they had
two men on the track, and those
two took several of the classiest
events of the meet, drawing their
academy well to the top in the score.
Ii is likelv the same men will be
on the cinders again this spring and
here may be others in addition.
Little has been beard from the
Pisbee and Douglas highs. However
they are icported as having a strong
Lne of athletes on the track, and as
they have been fanii-d in the past
or what they have done, they are
likely to have teams which will make
some others; loo!: like the far famed
celluloid dog.
Tucson is the most-to-be-feared
school in the whole of the entries
Thev have the double advantage of
being at home, and of practice races
against the faster and older men of
the university. Besides they will
have their entry list complete in the
events, thereby being able to crowd
and push where other schools will
have but the one or two entries to
Jo their be-st against such "general
izing." Over in Old -Cochise there is a lit
tle Mormon academy from whence
came last year a gang of huskies
of the farm that made alt the other
teams look in wonder, and think
"How in thunder can we compete
against such giants?" Solomonville
has again signified their intention of
coming to the university fun. and
eitt date there
that the men of the mining camps in
Mcti-ail and Clifton will be unable to
meet with the rest of the state at'
the all-state affair. j
Williams and Flagstaff have not
commitbd themselves. Each year
they have contests botwo-n each other
i:i all the events of the category but
whether they will enter their best
men and the baseball nine in the
Old Pueblo contests is at present in
doubt. It is hoped however, by the
authorities in charge of the events
at the university that the two Grand
Canyon cities will send their best on
the oval if no baseball team.
Prizes of a first rate quality have
been put up for the winners of all
events. In the races first, second
'lit! third will receiye for their hon
ors gold, silver and bronz medals,
respectively. For the re'ay there will
be donated a loving cup engraved
with the winners' names. In the
baseball contest between all the
teams of the state, medal fobs will
be presented to the individuals of
the winning nine, and a large cup
will he given the winning school.
There is an additional trophy cup
hung on the events of this all-state
week. That is the trophy cup which
I gopc to the school making the high
l.st scares on the tra--k.
