The Phoenix Union Coyotes practiced defending the "Buck Pass" (became legal in 1940) in preparation for an Oct. 11, 1940 home game against Covina, California but Covina cashed in on four of seven Coyote fumbles to pull off the 12-7 upset to drop Phoenix Union to 3-1 on the year. Clippings from the Arizona Republic (1940).
