shin bones for Chet was forced to surrender his half of the pill and demand time out. This must end my account of the Junior College trip for I was the third cripple, the injured member in my case being a misbehaving tummy. I had no inclination to jolt around in an automobile so I came home alone on the train and so do not know whether or not the others who came in a car arrived clad, mentally sound and happy. The presumption is that they did. One Hundred Sixty-Two

starting our mines. After passing through various tunnels where so many men had been killed at such and such a time we recalled that it was our bounden duty to play a basketball game in the evening, so hit for the mouth of the tunnel. The girls had an easy time with the Jerome girls, but the boys gave us a hard run. Their center declined to hob-nob with our defense, parked out near the center of the ring and began to drop the ball through the basket. Lynn, Jack and Charlie returned the compliment from a shorter distance and we hit the score board one basket ahead of the miners at the final whistle. The following night we tackled the Prescott Badgers and ran into a real rough and tumble which caused us to marvel that Prescott had sent no gridiron representatives our way. The referee never called a held ball unless there were so many paws on it that no one seemed likely to get away with it. At the end of the first quarter the score stood three to three. After the interval the outfit went back to play football and forgot they were supposed to shoot baskets. The final result seemed to favor Prescott. Wednesday the girls went back to Flagstaff and the boys went to Phoenix in a car. We entered the city shortly after dark and trailed up to a hotel where the clerk agreed to bunk us if we kept out of sight. Our names and title were duly deposited on the register and we piled into a cage somewhat smaller than the one at the United Verde mine and went up a few levels. We got rid of our excess baggage and went down to a restaurant where we carefully placed a large steak with numerous accessories under our belts, and departed each to his own destination. We spent Thursday loafing and on Friday evening entered the arena with the Gila Academy Red Devils. These crimson gladiators seemed to have a mania for sticking the ball through the small black rings which adorned each end of the court, and knocked down 58 markers. Due to some misunderstanding between our guard, center and forwards, as to the proper method of relaying the ball to the basket, our ringers totaled a large trifle under 58. Ambition led us to tackle the consolation finals with Junior College. This second catastrophe was not so disastrous as to points but the casualties left us with four physically fit brothers and three cripples. The least battered of the cripples finished the game. The mode in which Fillerup grasped his nose in both hands, sat down upon the floor and took the count will serve as a precedent for any future aspirant. There was no doubt but that Charlie's proboscis was broke. It hurt, it wiggled, but six strong men seized him and pla.ced him on his feet. He wobbled off and our friend Chet Black of similar proportions, dissimilarly distributed. took his guard. After a short time Vick and Chet engaged in an argument as to who should throw the ball to the center. They both tug- ged manfully at the ball when each saw that his power of debate was wanting. and the battle waxed bloody and terrible to behold. Finally Vick proved to have the stronger set of One Hundred Sixty-One

There is no purer or better drinking water on earth than is piped from the great springs up behind the San Francisco Peaks. Cool, sparkling and so pure that it can be used in stor- age batteries without distilling is Flagstaff water. Within a few minutes walk from the business section is a large and beautiful free camping park for tourists. In this park is the municipal swimming pool, and amusement hall, at the foot of Mars hill, on which is located Lowell observatory, among the giant pines, with a magnificent view of the peaks.
