WILLIAMS DEFEATS
WINSLOWKI TEAM
Winslow pigskin chasers went down
to defeat last Friday in the football
game with the Williams high school
on the latter's field, losing by the
score of 7 to 6. This is the first de
feat that the local squad has exper
ienced during the season, putting
Wlnslcw out of the running in the
race for the championship of the
Northern Arizona high school con
ference.
The local aggregation should have
won the game, but it entered the
contest over confident and failed to
play up to its usual form. Each
member of the squad played good
football individually. As a team,
however, they failed to work togeth
er. The machinelike, consistent foot
ball playing that was a feature of the
local aggregation in the previous
games this season was conspicuously
lacking in the contest with Williams.
Winslow made its touchdown early
in the first quarter. The center on
the Williams team attempted to pass
the ball to the men in the backfield,
but it sailed over their heads bounc
ing on the ground. Tully at left end
darted around Williams’ defence,
scooped the oval up and sprinted
SO yards down the field for a touch
down. Hubbard attempted drop kick
but ball hit the upright.
The Williams aggregation scored
its seven points in the third quarter,
pushing the oval down the field and
over the line on a series of plunges.
Cole, full back, made the touchdown
and the drop kick. He was undoub
tedly the star one of the Williams
team. He runs low, is a fast man is
hard, to stop.
Rushing, full back on the Winslow
squad, played the game of his life,
plunging through the line at every
turn for five or more yards. There
was no team work among the squad,
however, and his great playing was
futile.
Straight football marked the game.
Winslow failed to complete a single
forward pass; Williams connected
with only one. Aside from the two
touchdowns the game was played in
the middle of the field. Winslow
slightly outweighed the Williams ag
gregation.
The local warriors rest tomorrow
playing Gallup here on November 10.
This should prove an easy victory
for the local squad if it plays up to
its usual form. On November 29,
Thanksgiving Day, Winslow will
journey to Flagstaff to clash with the
Normal lumberjacks.
Negotiations are under way for a
return game with the Flagstaff high
school, which is now in the lead for
the championship of the Northern
Arizona conference as a result of
Winslow’s defeat last Friday. It is
unlikely, however, that Coach Den
man will run the risk of another
game, for if his team should lose to
Winslow, the two squads would again
be tied for the championship.
The line-up of the Williams game
follows: Tully, left end; Hensley,
left tackle; Smith, left guard; G.
Evans, center; Wood, right guard;
Kelly, right tackle; Hohn, right end;
Hubbard, right tackle; Clark, quar
ter back; Rushing, full back; Jane
way, right half.
Substitutions: B, Evans for Jane
way; Janeway for Hohn.

Hallowe’en spirit, reckless, care
free Hallowe’en spirit, held sway at
the masquerade ball given by the
Ladies Auxilliary of the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen Wednesday
night at Kelly’s dance hall.
Masquerade was the word. Costu

looks. Boys dressed as girls and
girls dressed as boys. Every class i

the floor. It is a far fling from the
uncouth country rustic to the polish

with their black queue to the Scotch

to the pale but beautiful veiled Fati

Federated Woman’s Clubs
Hold Eventful Convention
Last Monday opened as a red letter
day for the Club Women of Winslow j
when the Northern District Federa
tion of the Women's Club met in
convention here. Delegates began j
arriving on Sunday and by the time
the convention opened St. Johns, j
Holbrook, Winslow, Flagstaff, Wil
liams, Prescott, Kingman. Oatman,
Kirkland, Jerome and the State Nur- 1
ses’ Association of Prescott were all i
represented by delegates.
Mrs. McMullen, of Flagstaff, pres- |

MRS. THOMAS G. WINTER
President of the General Federation of Woman’s Clubs, who
spoke to the Northern District Federation on Monday afternoon.
Mrs. Winter, who was a member of the disarmament conference
and who has had many calls to service from her country, left a
message of lasting Inspiration to all who heard her.
past year. Among those responding
were: Mrs. W. C. Todt of Kingman,
Miss Mary A. Boyer of Flagstaff,
Mrs. Draper of Seligman, Mrs. C. H.
Rutherford of Jerome, Mrs. M. J.
Norton of St. Johns, Mrs. L. C. Hen
ning of Holbrook, Mrs. W. C. Ritten-
I house of Williams, and Mrs. Grady
' Gammage of Winslow. In addition to
these, letters were received, from Mrs.
W. A. Linfesty of the Oatman Club
and Mrs. G. W. Cutler of the Kirkland
Club in Skull Valley. Charming
musical numbers were furnished for (
the morning program by Mesdames
Franklin, Martin, Liljedahl, Day, and
Miss Evelyn Garver. The opening
prayer being offered by the Rev. Geo.
Vernon Harris.
The outstanding feature of the
meeting and one which will be long
remembered by those who were pri
vileged to hear her was the presence
of Mrs. Thomas G. Winter, President
| of the General Federation of Women’s
; Clubs. i
At noon the ladies of the Methodist
Church served a luncheon to the dele
gates.
I The afternoon meeting was held in
the auditorium of the Baptist Church.
1 Several musical treats were furnish
ed by Mesdames Day, Liljedahl, Miss
Grim and Mr. Eugene Woods, the
President Mrs McMullen read a prayer
by Rauschenbausch, which besought
unity and spirituality and was most
appropriately delivered.
The real high-light of the Conven
tion came in the afternoon session,
when Mrs. Thos. G. Winter President
of the General Federation of Women’s
Clubs, wdio was introduced by Mrs.
H. C. Lockett, General Director of the
State, delivered a most masterly and
stirring address. Mrs. Winter is a
1 woman of charming and striking per
sonality. Her address was delivered
with a quiet enthusiasm which was
an inspiration to all who were for
tunate enought to hear her.
It would be impossible to quote
Mrs. Winter’s address verbatim, but
her essential theme was the “Home”
as a unit in civilization and woman’'
place in the home. She said in part
There must be cooperation among
all classes of women throughout the
world. Life was not created to make
us hate each other; to be cut up into
sections with each section striving
for dominance, but there must be co
operation between women if higher
; civilization is to be attained. Human
lives are linked together by every
influence and it is the woman’s busi
ness to make these influences well
balanced, and every true influence is ,
centered in the home. The purposes 1
of the home are two-fold, namely to I
be the reward and rest of the indivi-
I dual soul and second in its economic
value. The home is the unit of civil
welfare and government, the heart
lof democracy or the attempt to in
carnate in humanity the principle of
| brotherhood, and since woman is the
heart of the home the essence should
he purity and simplicity. The non
-1 essentials should be eliminated and
i the standard genuine, not the accept
jed standards of by-gone days. The
| thing to get in the home is the thing
! that counts. The home represents
the life of the family and expresses
: its innermost desires. The home is
the brooding place for citizens. And
. social life is there adjusted.
The economic value of the home is
almost too great to be measured in
actual figures. In the census of 1922,
18 to 20 millions of women were
classified as housewives and non
productive, yet, these women produce
the fundamentals of the United Sta
tes. Bakers, cooks, laundresses, etc.
receive wages for their work when
done outside of the home, yet be
cause the mother or wife does these
things in the home she is classed as
non-productive. The average work
ing hours of the homemaker have
been estimated at eleven hours per
day in winter, and thirteen hours in
summer, and if the number of work-
I ing hours a housewife puts in were
estimated in money the amount would
be about eleven billion dollars per
year. There will probably never be
a time when women will demand
wages for their work in the home,
but will demand just recognition.
When they do a new attitude will be
abroad in regard to househould eco
nomics. The greatest career is in

the home, and girls will not leave
their home to seek newer and better
careers. Homemaking will be illu- !
minated by the purpose of live and
a conscientious understanding of

TRADITIONAL INITIATION GIVEN
TO FIRST-YEAR HI STUDENTS
Saturday night was a fearful and
perilous night for freshmen at the
High School. The sophomores gave
them the traditional initiation which
is administered to each succeeding
class of first-year students. Never
did a candidate for admittance into a
fraternal organization go through
such trepidation as did the Frosh.
The first-year students were blind
folded at the High school and were
led through many intricate and dum
founding mazes until they reached
the bank of the Colorado River on
! the McCoy ranch. This long journey
was taken to see whether they pos
; sessed the required qualifications to
: become full-fledged members of the
high school. Then they ate of the
| fruit of strength. Some of Frosh
were not sure that they were strong
! er as a result after their harrowing
| experience; but all declared that the
fruit was indeed strong. It happen
ed to be onions.
Next they went over the bridge of
sticks, which was such a perilous
ordeal that all were so frightened
they did not know what it was
all about. Following this was the
sting of death. After every freshman
had proved that he possessed the
required qualifications, he took the
high school vows and received the
high school spirit. Last of all the
Frosh were branded with the high
school “W”.
They are regular students now and
can hardly wait until next fall when
they will be the initiators.

KENNETH GILLETTE
HOLDS NEW POSITION
Kenneth H. Gillette, formerly in
charge of the Loss and Damage de
partment of the Santa Fe, has been
promoted to Assistant Superintendent
in charge of the freight and passen
ger terminals at Los Angeles, effect
ive October 25th.

an insight as to the biggest things
in the transportation and terminal
line, hence his elevation.
RED CROSS REPRESENTATIVE
PROPOSES NURSING SERVICE
Miss M. D. Barnes, Red Cross field
representative for Arizona, with head
quarters at Phoenix, was in Winslow
over the week-end trying to interest
the people to provide an itinerant
public health nursing service under
the supervision of the Red Cross.
The proposition which Miss Barnes
has submitted to the city makes pro
vision for a nurse to remain in the
different communities of the state as
long as they desire her services. The
conditions are that each community
pay her living expenses while she is
in it. Her traveling expenses in the
state are to be shared by the differ
ent communities. The Pacific divi
sion of the Red Cross helps to finan
ce this service; it pays the nurse’s
salary and her traveling expenses
from San Francisco to Arizona.
Miss Barnes expressed the hope
that Winslow would make provision
for thtis itinerant service. She is
trying to interest other cities in the
state, and if a sufficient number pro
vide for the service, a trained nurse,
who will be sent out by the Pacific
division, will come to the community
and remain in it doing her work ac
cording to the contract. During her
stay in any particular place the nurse
would/ inspect school children, do
follow up work in the home, have
baby confereneces. teach home hy
giene, care for the sick and do any
emergency work that might arise.
The amount of work that she does
in a community, of course, depends
upon the time that she is in it.
This service is offered only to
communities that cannot afford a
full-time nurse. Miss Barnes said
that if Winslow will put on a good
roll call this fall, it would help to
ward financing this service. The
proposition will be submitted to the
city council, the school board and
the Red Cross next week for definite
action.

BOSTON POOL® ROBBED
OF CASH TUESDAY NIGHT j
The Boston Pool Hall was robbed
sometime Tuesday night of about six

how the robbery was effected. No j
place could be found where the thief
gained access to the hall. All the

ELKS WILL STAGE
BIG BOXING CARD
Fistic Battles!
A boxing carnival, the best that
has ever been staged in Winslow, will
be put on by the Elks next Wednes
day night, November 7, at 9:30 for
the benefit of their band.
Two good bouts are scheduled as a
curtain raiser. The first ts between
Kid Arnold and Kid Weitzel. These
two aspirants for pugilistic fame will
box three rounds provided that neith
er is knocked out in the meantime.
Both of these boys have been seen in
action by some of our fighting fans
; who know that they ar e fast kids and
| that they battle for all that is in
j them. The second curtain raiser is
j a three round bout between Kid Gon
| zales and Mike Alarid. Both of these
boys are on the road to be future
"pugs”. They possess both fighting
ability and science, and can stand a
world of punishment. They have
been reared on pugilism and when
they fight they move with the velocity
of a cyclone. These two bouts are
bound to be worth the money that
you have to pay for the entire car
nival.
A semi-final of four rounds be
tween Kid McMillan and Otto Hub
bard will be a big fight second only
to the main event of the carnivai.
These boys have been training hard
for this bout and will be in tiptop
condition to put up the battle of their
lives. Both are confident, of winning
the fight and are going into the ring
with the idea to do all the milling
and damage that they can do to each
other. This will undoubted’lv be as
good as a professional encounter.
The main event of the big boxing
card is a ten-round set-to between
Soldier Castillo and Bill Jarvis.
Soldier Castillo is recognized as a
better pugilist than Fighting Brown,
who won a decision over Vaneman,
champion of his division over seas.
The soldier is a scrapper who says
he is not afraid to fight anyone. He
has had a great deal of experience in
the game, and has great staying qual
ities; he can also take a world of
punishment. Bill Jarvis, the import
ed glove artist, is champion in his
class of the state of Utah. He boxed
all four years that he attended the
University of Utah under expert
j trainers. He thoroughly knows the
; game and has met the largest and
toughest boys in the various univer
sity tournaments held in the Rocky
Mountain conferences.
Soldier Castillo weights 185 pounds;
Jarvis, 165. Those who have seen
both men in action say that the cham
pion of Utah will more than make up
for this difference in weight with his
knowledge of the game and fighting
science.
This bout should prove the best
fight ever seen in Winslow.
E. E. MATTHEWS IS ELECTED
TRUSTEE OF SCHOOL DISTRICT
E. F. Matthews, chief clerk to the

trustee for this district at the school
election held last Saturday. Mr.
Matthews was the only candidate run
ning for the position. Ninety votes
were cast and he received all but
three, which were incorrectly marked.
Mr. Matthews is well qualified for
the office to which, he has been elect
ed and will undoubtedly be an ex
ceptionally good trustee.
