from the Blue Camp.
Coach Ream, Rusty Cossman, Lee
Wykoff and Capt. Marvin Stevens, al
made the journey today to see GUN
Henry's c. of E. warriors play sthe
Bethany Swedes. The four men will
and meet the team when it gets into
the college town Saturday noon.
After the men had assembled in the
gymnasium dressing room after prec-

Ream, and well have to play foot

Ream told the truth concerning the
coaching abilities of Hargiss and Scha-
binger. The writer can remember
when tSchaby" played quarterbackJon
the c. of E. team, and when Hargiss
coached the Red and White aggreca-
IAr1 C,In1 IT e
varsity ball at c. of E. and was all
state quarter three years of that time.
Hargiss has been in the coaching
game long enough to have earned the
title, The Bald Eagle of Empory,"
and the Normals were lucky to get him
back in the fold after his years abb
sence spent in coaching the Oregon
Aggies. Altho the dope is wrong for
a Normal victory. the dope bucket has
been upset before, and with two ole
heads at the game directing the play
ing of the Normal team. the Gold and
Black should and will put up mighty
fight.
Those interested in Washburn's
chances for the conference Champion
ship may rest assured that the Blue
team will give its last ounce of fight
ing strength toward that end. With
only two games between them and the
pot of gold at the end of the rain
bow" Ream's warriors are out for
meat, with blood in their eyes, and
they won't stop. Until now the con-
ference championship has been
myth, but it is in sight now. and the
Blue warriors have had the first look.
To say that they intend to take the
last look also, would be needless.
For two long months, the second
string men-''serubs''-of Washburn,
have been playing against the varsity,
showing them a real fight, and giving
the regulars a stiff practice with no
thought of reward.

IN BLUE CAMP
BY HUGGINS.

An hour of dummy drill Thursday
night and then light scrimmage with
the freshmen put the Blue team on its
feet for the game Saturday with Bill
Hargiss's Emporia formals. No prac-
tice will be held tonight. according to
Dwight Ream, Washburn coach.
The freshmen didn't do lot of ball
Juggling Thursday night. For the main
part of the practice they played a de-
fensive game. Ream wishes that the
Varsity be allowed to play~on the Of
Tense, carrying prestige over the
freshman desires. The entire week
has been given over tp the develop
ment of a forceful defense. and Ream
has succeeded in his efforts.
The Blue team will look a lot diff
ferent when they take the ball for
their first attempts to gain in Satur-
days game, than they did with Fair
mount at Wichita, and Baker and OF
tawa here. The offensive part of
Reams machine is hardly recogniz-

WAITE SETTLING
TOMATO KICKS OF
JAPANESE GROWERS

F. w. Waite, horticultural commits
sioner of Imperial county, is in Braw-
ley today for the purpose of settling
the tomato inspection problem with
Japanese growers.
Deputy Inspector Bassett has been
handling about 200 crates of tomatoes
daily out of Brawley by express and
his close inspection has not been to
the liking of some of the growers.
The Japanese have an association
and claim that they have committee
to handle such matters but they also
claim that this committee is in San
Francisco today and the commission
er is not having much success in get
ting things Strengthened out. He is
standing behind the deputy and at the
same time is endeavoring to have
more harmonious action.
It is claimed that the crates have
not been packed with any degree of
uniformity in size, that the big fine
tomatoes have been put on top with
the inferior grades underneath in the
same crate.
During his stay Mr.. Waite also took
up with ranchers the question Of a
vigorous campaign looking to the
elimination of ohnson grass, morning
glory and other vegetation that is

F FAMOUS TITLE
SUIT Is ENDED
Neat Sum in EscrOU AUaits
Winner as Rent Payments
for Years Viii Be GiUen to
Legal Gunner of Property.

With the taking under advisement
of the case of Moses w. Davis versus
A. j. Fell and J. w. Spencer, yester-
day afternoon, Judge Franklin J. Cole
listened to the end of one of the old
est and most talked of cases in the
history of the Imperial County bench.
The suit dates back to 1908, when
Davis and Fells, pioneers in the val
ley laid claim to location. The land
was awarded to Spencer by the Unit
ed States land office and Fell contest
ed, on the grounds of fraudulant pos
seosion, this time taking the case be-
fore the general land office at Wash
ington, d. C. In the meantime the
land was leased to Spencer.
With the case still in the hands of
the court, Spencer was at a loss, as
to whom the rent was due. He refused
to pay either, and placed the monthly
payments in escrow. Fell and Davis
in turn sued him. The case was thrown
out of court on the grounds that Meth
er had an actual claim to the property.
The suit later was taken to the fed
eral court. with an agreement no near
er than it was before.
1t is said that the defendant and the
plaintiff have spent thousands of dol
lars on the suit.
Judge Cole is expected to give his
decision the latter part of the week

REGISTRATION is
SHORT OF 10000

County Clerk Major S. Cook has
finished compiling the lists for the
May presidential primaries. Today
each voter received notification of
his polling place and sample ballot.
-Four years ago the registration was
slightly over 5000.
This year the total registration in
the municipalities alone is 6497. At
the April municipal elections the to-
tai for both county and towns was
1924 while 500 had registered since
then giving a total registration of
9424. OF the 1924 the tabulation as
to parties has been made and shows
that the Republicans have 4461, the
Democrats 2991, decline to state 1853
Socialists 1853 and Prohibitionists $50.
1t will be seen therefore that the Re-
publicans have a majority to the total
although at the general election the
Democrats carried the election before.
Many conclusions are drawn from the
freakish results and it is conceded that
the county if the actual sentiment is
expressed is close between the old par
ties with the issues of the day usually
settling the question of supremac3.
The registration by towns in the
valley as revised by county clerk
shows the following total.
Calexico, 1884.

OVERALLED KNIGHTS
CONFER HIGH DEGREE

Five valiant knights from the round
table at Red Star Lodge, San Diego,
were in attendance and assisted the
local X. of P. lodge in comforting the
esquire rank last night. They were
Knights Love, Lynch, Pepper, Eckert
and Howard.
In King Edwards time the forty
league pilgrimage would have been
somewhat arduous and wearing on the
coats of mail. but the knights of old
had nothing on the overall brigade
either as to appearance or cost per
yard, although by weight their Sunday
best may have been some advantages.
These fraternal visits are much en-
joyed. Arrangements were completed
for further lodge intercourse next
Tuesday, when Calexico and Brawley
lodges will be invited to participate.
