played football that day, while the Normal team did not. On only one occasion did the Normal team score. Captain Camp made one of his noted field runs of 75 yards giving the White and Gold their only touchdown. The Green and Brown boys crossed the line on two occasions making the score 13 to 7 in their faVor. On November 15th of the same week the Junior College team from Phoenix came to Flagstaff for a hard and fast game from the first. At the end of three quarters, the dope favored the home team. However, in the last quarter, the Lumberjacks weakened and the visitors took advantage. They scored four touchdowns in this last period, defeating the Nor- mal 32 to 14. The team showed that it was really an effective machine when it was working right and gave the boys a feeling of security when they went to Teiiipe the week following to play the strongest team in the state. The Northern Normal invaded the valley determined to put up a good fight, although it was acknowledged by almost everyone that the Tennje eleven was the strongest team of its class in the state. The gams was played on the Normal Field at Tempe, November 22nd. The game was snappy from the first, but the Bulldogs, confident of an easy victory let the Lumberjacks get the lead on them and then came near to losing the game. Camp made the first score of the game for the Northern team and Poe, wiHi a beautiful drop-kick of 42 yards made the second score. The final score was 20 to 16 in favor of Tempe, but two of their touchdowns were made on fumbles. The Lumberjacks outiilayed their opponents and should have won this game, but chance turned the tables and gave the victory to the inferior team. The ' ast game of the season was played on McMullen Field on Thanksgi ' ng day, when the Winslow Alumni met and defeated the Normalites 25 to 14. The game was decidedly in favor of the visitors for the first three quarters, but the Lumberjacks came back in the fourth with wonderful spirit and were on the upward trend when the game ended. The season was successful in that half of the games played were with teams above the high school class. The scheduling of games with Phoenix Junior Co ' lege aid Tempe Teachers College will put us on the map in athletics if the future records equal or surpass those of this first season. Sixteen men received their letters in Football, the largest number in a good many years to earn the golden N. Those thus honored were: Clyde Davis, Emery Vickers, John Ma- rine, Lynn Camp, Donald Ilerriott, John Clark, Silas Jarvis, P ' rank Whitehouse, Kent Crosby, Arnulfo Luna. Harold Poe, Harry Stevens, Harvey Cooper, George Raitt, Jack Hecker- thorne, Arthur Scharr. Letters were presented at the Christ- mas graduating exercises. Sweaters were given to those who had not received one in past seasons.

Football The 1924 football season was a decided success in a mini her of ways for the Normal School. The team won half of the eight games played and showed real fighting spirit in most of the others. W. E. Rogers, who took R. H. Di-ake ' s place on the school faculty, coached the boys, and Jake Bracker was student manager. Prof. C. F. Deaver coached the second team and assisted Mr. Plogers with the first string. The first game of the season was played with the cham • IMon high school team of the north for the previous year. The game was played on McMullen field October 11. The Jerome boys had a fighting team and a good fighting spirit, but the husky Lumljerjacks played them off their feet. On only one occasion did the visitors make a score. All of the home team ' s backfield men had a chance to score one or more times, and the final score was 64 to 6. This was the only game in which l ete Brown former U. of A. star, played for the Normal, he ()eing called to Greeley, Colorado the week following this game. The second game, with Williams, was not regularly scheduled. The Normal squad was picked, none of the players weighing over 1.50 pounds. The boys from the neighboring city being light in weight, scheduled this game on those special terms. The game was played in Flagstaff on McMullen field Saturday, October 18, and was a decisive victory for the Nor- malites. The score was .51 to 0. On October 25th the team went to Prescott to i:)lay. Normal winning by a score of 19 to 6. Although the Prescott aggregation was heavier, the members, as a whole lacked training and were in no condition to meet the strong Lumber- jack team. In this game Heckerthorne suffered a broken col- lar bone, which disabled him for the remainder of the season. The fourth consecutive victory for the Lumberjacks was the game with Needles on November first. The Normal team motored down to Needles and were received in wonderful fashion by the Needles team, being treated to shows, dances and other amusement. The whole town turned out to see the game. Our boys expected to find stiff opposition, but, al- though the home team had some fine material, they had just Ijegun football and were inexperienced. We loggers took the game with a score of 51 to 0. The boys will remember the fine time they had in Needles. Arthur Shaar suffered a broken foot in this game and was out the remainder of the season. The turning ])oint in the season came on Armistice day when the Lumberjacks met the Flagstaff high school team at the City Park field. The dope was all with the larger team to win Ijy a large score, but the smaller fighters from the high school N i n c 1 y - S e V o n
