INTER CLASS TRACK MEET. On May 12, 1911 the High School held it’s first inter-class track and field meet under the new rules at the ball park. The Juniors won the meet by a score of 87 while the Seniors were second with a score of 29. The Freshmen were next with a score which, if you wished to see it, you would have to have a microscope while the Sophmores were worse yet than the Freshmen. This meet was held under the rules given to and adopted by the Athletic Association this spring. The rules stated that the winning class was to have it’s numerals on a banner placed in a conspicuous place in the High and was to keep them there one year until the next meet when the winning class then would have their numerals on it, etc. Crawford was the star of the day taking first in nearly every event he was in. Of course Chester had the advantage in being an all-round athlete but he worked hard and sometimes against large handicaps for what he gained. Brinkmeyer who was second displayed a lot of natural ability winning all his events with ease, lint to the Seniors Thomas “Stumpy Ross was the only man in the event. Thomas is small and apparently had no show at all but with surprising ability and agility he combated throughout the en- tire meet with unceasing- energy against large and small odds alike and won second place in the meet for the Seniors. 1 he following is a list of the students who won monograms this year: FOOTBALL — Chester Crawford. Perry Ling, Kenneth Beatson, Henry Brinkmeyer. Marvin Piper. Thomas Ross. Ralph Bell, Glae Paul. Douglas Aitken. James Lowry, George Merritt and Peter McNulty. BASKETBALL—Tna Riebling, Myrtle Stephens, Mariam Doudna, Eva French, Olive Haisley and Evelyn Fox.

By a desperate rally in the fourth quarter, Phoenix carried the ball to the three yard line but was unable to break Pres- cott’s defense and lost the ball on downs. Crawford kicked the ball out of bounds on the five yard line giving the ball to Phoenix from which point Phoenix once more rallied and by successive plunges carried the ball over for their first and only touchdown. Goebel failing to kick goal; the score was ii to 5 in favor of Prescott. After a few minutes more of heartless play the game ended and Prescott had, for the first time in a long time, beaten her old rival Phoenix. There was great evidence of clever individual playing on both sides. Goebel deserves a greatdeal of credit for saving Phoenix from a more severe drubbing for in several instances when the ball was in dangerous territory his foot would send it whirling down the field and Prescott would have to take the ball and begin all over. Jackson was the man who gained ground for Phoenix and made their only touchdown. Prescott's star was Lowry who, whenever he was called, hit the Phoenix line for a good substantial gain. Merritt, quarter-back, was the guiding spirit through the game and his plesantries all through the game kept the Prescott boys in good spirits. Captain Crawford was another individual player lor Prescott duplicating in this game a trick he is noted for that is, grabbing a fumbled ball and running for a touch-down. Little “btumpy Ross was the boy who took every one's eye for by tackling fellows three times as big as he was and holding on to every forward pass he made a deep impression with the Prescott and well yes—Phoenix fans. FOOTBALL BANQUET. In appreciation of the defeat of the Phoenix High School football team by the Prescott High School team in the Thanks- giving day game, the business men of Prescott tendered the football team and other members of the squad, a dinner at the Yavapai Club. The table was decorated in Blue and Gold with goal posts at either end of the table and a blue and gold football in the center. An enjoyable four course dinner was served after which the coach, captain, referee, umpire and several members of the squad delivered short speeches. George Merritt was elected captain of next years team and after cheering the hosts of the dinner the boys went to the Elk’s theater as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Howard and spent a pleasant hour there. Upon leaving the theater the boys walked the town cheering individual members of the team and celebrating their victory generally.
