BRAWLEY nine TO
PLAN LOCAL TEAM
HERE ON SUNDAY
Ray Ellis Hopes to Have
Strong Lineup For
Next Game

Brawley and Ell Centre teams of the
Imperial Valley League will be the at
traction Sunday afternoon at the local
ball grounds, according to Ray Ellis,
manager of the local team. Ellis has
several new men who will be seen in
the FL Centre lineup and with Living
ston fully recovered from his recent i'll
ness, hopes to be able to chalk up a
win for his team which so far has not
managed to land game in the league
race though it has played good ball in
each contest.
Brawley has been playing good
game this season and is reported as
having q strong team, so that the local
boys are "getting set t. for hard
tussle when they get the word to play
Sunday afternoon.
Nothing has as yet been heard from
Judge X. NJ. Lands, baseball commits
sioner, relative to John Billings re-
quest to be allowed to play ball with
the local team, but Manager Ellis feels
certain that as long as no refusal has
been received, there is still hope that
the big Lacquer may be seen behind the
bat for FL Centre in the near future
His addition to the lineup would un'
doubtedlv work wonders for the local
team and give them the necessary
punch to put games on the right side
of the column.

LAST GRID GAME

Wins Last Game, Many
See Contest

Before a crowd of 5000 people, the
Brawley high school football team de-
feated the Central Union eleven by a
score of II to at the Thanksgiving
Day celebration at the Imperial Valley
Country Club yesterday.
The FL Centre boys played a fast
and aggressive game in the first half
and threatened to score on two occas-
ions, but fumbles at the critical mo-
ment gave the ball to Brawley, who
was able to punt out of danger. Neither
team scored in this half
Brawley opened the third quarter
with series of passes that brought
the ball down close to the Central
goal, and following series of line
plunges, sent Bud over for the first
touchdown. Brawley failed to obtain
the point following the touchdown, the
ball going wide of the goal posts.
In the last quarter, a combination of
passes and trick plays enabled Brawley
to score another touchdown, the ball be
ing carried by Wolfe. On the attempt
for point following the touchdown
Brawley again failed, and thereafter
the ball was kept away from the line,
the two touchdowns making the only
scores of the game.
Gibbs, Central Unions right end,
was hurt during the game and was
taken from the field An examination
of his injuries. proved them to be pain
full but not serious.
The game closed the valley schedule.

CALEXICO, Dee. 1.-The most skill
fully played and hardest fought battle
ever staged on the local football
grounds was played yesterday when
the Yuma Indians beat the Calexico
high school squad by score of to
g.
Playing the first and second quarters
on even terms. In the third quarter
the Indians assumed the offensive,
and tried again and again to push the
ball forward to the Calexico goal line,
but each time when victory seemed
near, the locals stiffened up and in
many instances pushed them back for
losses.
In the last quarter the real game
started, fast, tricky and vicious, with
the Yuma Indians making the first
touchdown when Calexico punted the
ball into mdfield, the ball being taken
by Maria and carried through the field
for touchdown. A perfect kick fol-
lowed.
Calexico followed by taking the Of
fensive, and by series of line plunges
and forward passes advanced the ball
to within striking distance of IS
Indian goal, and forward pass by
Willingham to Freeman, almost at the
line, was tackled, but Freeman man
aged to roll across the line. The kick
was, low, and failed to score.
In the last six minutes of play Calex-
leo made desperate efforts to gain an
other touchdown, but failed.

strange pair In a victoria he often met
in the course of his walks from the
northwest Of London toward Whitehall
in and after 1876. The man. prema'
turek aging, was hirsute, rugged
and satyrlike. That was George Henry
Lewes. The woman was "a large,
thick-set sybil, whose massive features,
dreamy and immobile, somewhat grim
when seen in profile, were incongru-
Gus bordered by a hat, always in the
height Of the Paris fashion. which
in those days cSlmoniy included
an immense ostrich feather" That
was George Elicit. The contrast be-
tween the solemnity of the face and
the frivolity of the headgear had
something pathetic and provincial
about it.
