The Arizona team advanced to the Aggie 35-yard line, where Porter again tried a drop frcm a difficult angle but missed, the halt going about two feet on the outside of the post. Two downs after this Porter was hurt and had to be taken out of the game.

Hugh Miller, winner of the HI Paso-Plioenix race, is also for the long race, hut has not made up his mind about entering.

As a matter of fact, Miller's chief aim in road racing was to try out his ideas iu car tuning, and to gain the rewards that good sporting chances, freely accepted, will bring to any honest contender.
