    Arizona Wildcats Beat New Mexico, SO to 0 ALBUQUERQUE, N. Mex. Nov. 4.-Arizona’ improving Wildcats ground out a $50 Border Conference victory over New Mexico with obvious ease today. It was the visitors Oath triumph in a 34-game series and marred another New Mexico homecoming for a crowd estimated at just under II 1000. New Mexico, coached by Dudley De Groat, will play Army next week. A stubborn New Mexico de- Tense held the Arizona sophomore eleven scoreless for a quarter, and the Wildcats were ahead only 1870 at halftime. They cut loose for four more touchdowns in the third quarter, and reserves were used literally thereafter.
