ARIZONA, 1899-1904 TIT HEN the final whistle sounded on a football game in Univer sity Stadium on the University of Arizona campus in Tucson last December 4, the Wildcats had closed probably their most successful season with a smashing 20-6 victory over University of Oregon.

It was a successful season, despite a pair of defeats, for It marked Arizona's definite entrance into what might be railed big-time football. However, Arizona has had other successful seasons, successful because they served the purpose of building athletes and sportsmanship, along with turning in brilliant victories. Those who witnessed that victory over Oregon should attempt to pic ture the contrast of the thrill-pack ed game of December 4 with the contest that took place exactly 38 years and one month before Ari zona's first venture on the gridiron a practice tilt November 4, 1899 against the Tucson town team that ended in a 5-0 victory for the uni versity. The team first was organized in January by Prof. R.

H. Forbes, but no games were played until that fall when C. P. Richmond, A. W.

Loheland, which wHl be the local exhibition. Nominations BALTIMORE, Mar. 7 (AP) Wat Admiral and Seabiscuit, last year's top money winners and champions respectively of the three-year-old and handicap divisions, who raced through 1937 and beat nearly every headline horse except each other, topped a star-studded list of 59 thoroughbreds named today for the $20,000 Dixie Handicap May 11 at Pimlico. Twice scheduled to meet last year, first Seabiscuit and then War Admiral dodged the issue, being scratched before going to the post. For War Admiral, the Dixie will be a triumphant return to "old hilltop," where he raced to victory in the Preakness.

The little brown horse is due in Maryland tomor row from Hialeah where he won Saturday's $50,000 added Widener Cup race. Seabiscuit, twice loser of the $100,000 Santa Anita Handicap by a nose, to Rosemont and Stagehand, will have a chance to regain some of his erstwhile glory if the Dixie finds both War Admiral and Seabiscuit at the post. The race, however, will be no duel. J. H.

Loucheim's Pompoon, third In the "big race" at Santa Anita, and runner-up to War Admiral in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, is entered along with such others as Calumet Dick, victor over Seabiscuit in last year's Nar-ragansett Special, and Aneroid, winner of the Santa Anita Derby aver C. S. Howard's 1937 money-vinning champion. Forty-seven owners have listed entries for the 34th renewal of the mile and three-sixteenths feature, for three-year-olds and up, a fitting prelude to the May 14 Preakness in which Stagehand probably will go post-ward the favorite. Maxwell Howard's Sceneshifter, stablemate of Stagehand, Shandon Farms' Burning Star and Mrs.

E. D. Jacobs' Caballero also are highly regarded nominees for the Dixie. No gales Seen Track Title Th reat (Exclusive Republic Dispatch) NOGALES, Mar. 7 Early season track prospects at Nogales Senior High School are so promising the Apaches are being boosted as a possible threat to the championship hopes of the strong Tucson Badgers.

Coach Loyd Ledf ord's team was the surprise of the South-era Conference last year when most members were freshmen. Improvement of veterans and addition of newfound stars will make it considerably stronger this season. Manuel Moreno, sophomore sprint star, several times turned in the century in 10 seconds flat last season, although Wootan, Will-cox star, edged him out in both of the big meets in which they competed. Wootan is no longer around and Moreno should be better than ever. He will probably add the 220-yard dash to his list of events this season.

Alex Leyva. low-hurdle star, Is another veteran regarded a certain point winner. Leyva won the 220-yard low hurdles in the Southern Conference meet at Tucson last year. William Bettwy, football star, has the makings of a great weight man, Ledford says. Bettwy tossed the shot last year for around 42 feet.

He has boosted that mark a good three feet in practice this year. There is a chance he may develop into a discus star as well. In his first attempt to sail the platter recently, he made a throw of 105 feet. Jim Goodman, cage star, turned out for track ast week following the close of the cage season. Although he had ambitions as a middle-distance man, Ledford put him to work at the jumping pits.

He turned in a broad jump of 20 feet, six inches in his second attempt a mark which would place in either the district or the state meet. Goodman also ran a 55-second quarter-mile, indicating he may become a star in that event! Frank Reed, another sophomore, has been working in the broad jump event for some time. He is doing 19 feet, six consistently, indicating the Apaches will have great strength In the event. Jim Macris is working with Bettwy in the discus event, while Bill Underwood has been working on the high jump, an event in which he should be good for points. The only meet thus far scheduled is the Southern Arizona invitational at Douglas April 9.

State Archery Meet Draws 35 TUCSON, Mar. 7 (AP) Thirty five archers, principally from Fhoenix, Tempe and Tucson, have entered the Arizona State Archerv Association's tournament here Sat urday and Sunday, Miss Virginia King said tonight.

7 (AP) Final Parker, composing a student com-1 it tee, raised $70 among Old Pueblo merchants with which to purchase uniforms. Entrance of the university Into the gridiron field opened a new avenue for competition, territorial titles prior to that time being held only by high school or town teams. Tempe Normal School, now a state teachers college, had presented a team two years earlier, end there was considerable rivalry worked up for a meeting between the university and normal squads. Parker was elected manager of bat first Arizona team. Professor Forbes coached, assisted by a Pro-j fessor Colley of the city schools and Stuart Forbes.

a i Tempe Diamond Prospects Depend On Veteran Hurler TEMPE Coach Ben Cole of the Tempe High School Buffaloes thinks diamond prospects this year largely depend on the performance of Bob James, veteran southpaw twirler. If he comes through as expected the Buffaloes may be very hard to stop. While there are eight lettermen in school, only three of them leaders by one stroke at the hali-i way point. His 70 and 73 yesterday cave him a one-stroke ad vantage over Bob Hunsick, Bilt-more pro, who was deadlocked for runner-up honors at 291 with Fred Dold. Wichita, amateur.

Urich carried off the $100 prize for first place honors, with Hunsick pulling down for his labors. Gray Madison, local pro, took third prize money of $S7 on the strength of his 294. Vern (Red) Allen of Litchfield Park turned in a 297 score for fourth prize of $25, and Frank Madison, En-canto pro, took $12 for his 301. All other pros competing In the event received $7.50 Trailing Dold, who took the prize for low-scoring amateurs was Dave Peter, state amateu champion of Phoenix, who 295 for the 72-hole route. Bob!

Big Ten Conference quintets av eraged 36, an increase of 2.6 points. The Eastern Intercollegiate League reported the smallest in crease. Each of its members sv eraged 38 tallies, or 1.7 more than a year ago.

Eastern Intercollegiate Confer ence quintets boosted their scorin by 5.5 points, also for a 38 average. Individual scoring records have fallen nnder the new rules. Stanford's Angelo Lai setti has rattled off 429 points this year to run his four-year total to 1,550. It bettered the former four-year total ef 1,531 set by Glenn Roberts of Em ory-Henry College.

The university's colors were changed to start the 1900 season, blue and cardinal replacing sage green and silver. Thirty candidates reported for the team, and a new coadi took over the tutoring duties. In those days the coach was not a high-prired specialist.

For the most part he took the job for the enjoyment to be derived. When the squad reported, Ogro Kenneth Dunham, class of 1903. was the instructor, but an incident took place that never could or would happen in modern collegiate com 'petition. Dunham resigned and became a member of the team, winning his letter during another four-game schedule. The Tucson Indians were defeated twice, 34-0 and 32-0.

Tucson town team was handed a 45-0 licking, and to close the 1900 pro gram the team journeyed to Phoe nix to take a 5-0 licking from, the Phoenix Indian School. Trof. William Skinner replaced Dunham as coach. The captain was C. F.

Squabble over yard of scrimmage by ITA. "Tempe lacked student players so did not put team in field.

Charged Indians (Phoenix) played any and all available for suits regardless." Records fail to divulge members of the 1901 squad. It is interesting to note, however, that the season, during which the university defeated the Tucson Indians three times by lop-sided scores, marked the erection of bleachers and issuance of sweaters to members of the team. Professor Skinner again was the coach, with Gillett captain and N. Cloy Parker manager. Another sidelight of the season is the voicing of a demand by IT.

The Tempe game was considered at the time to be the best ever staged in Arizona.

Gillett started as coach until arrival shortly after the first game of George Mullen. The captain was Cosgrave. but he was injured early and failed to see much action.

Darrell Hudlow Awarded Letter REDLANDS. Mar. 7 Lanky Darrell Hudlow, Phoenix tennis star now at the University of Rerflanrls will rereive nf terday, Although he has received more recognition on the tennis court than on the basketball floor, Hud-low's high-scoring ability was responsible for a good share of the total points made this season. Red-lands, although expected to be one of the weakest teams in the conference, defeated every opponent except the new champions at least once. Hudlow's height, which made him an outstanding tennis player, also proved to be a great help to the team since he managed to raise above other players to score.

Hudlow is the son of Mrs. Mabel Hudlow, 1412 East McKinley street. The Browns have taken over the Batesville club in the Arkansas State League. 10 plays, short-punt variations off an unbalanced line to the right. and for two hours ran the squad through dummy scrimmage drill.

Among the most promising of the newcomers are Preston Carpenter, Glendale transfer, who may be a prospect for catcher this year, and Johnny Woods, frosh pitcher, who looks like a comer. There are a number of good hitters among the veterans. Jepson led the club last season, while Maness, Bojorquez and James are fairly heavy stickers. Tempe has games booked with four East Central teams, with a fifth tentatively arranged with Florence. Only one of the four is a home game.
