The chief attack Of these officials is
on the old accepted standard of
amateur athletics that "once a pro-
fessional, always a professional" 1t
is the opinion of these men that this
system is fundamentally wrong and
that an athletic, once a professional,
should be permitted under certain
restrictions to return to the amateur

prompted this discussion in Canadian
circles is the desire of the Dominion
soccer body to enter the A A. IT,

the association governing that sport
to have professionals compete with

Reciprocity Day celebrated by
the Woman's Improvement Club at
Calexico yesterday afternoon was
u splendid success. More than 200
women gathered from all parts OF
the valley TO accept the hospitality
of the Calexico women, who pre-
sented o unique program. Miss Lu-
cia Ybarra. social service worker
among the Mexicans st the border,
was in charge and presented vari-
Gus numbers by Mexican children
that caused many complimentary
remarks fro mthose present. Miss
Ybarra, who is n woman of brillian-
cy and ability, presented plenty of
evidence that our little neighbors
to the south of us have genius and
talent a plenty, which only needs
the proper development to make it
self manifest.
Two commissioners of education
and two principals of public schools
from Mexicah, as well as other
dignataries from that city, were
on the platform.
Perhaps the outstanding feature
of the occasion was the first pub
lie appearance of the 80 piece Or
chestra recently organized among
the boy students of Mexicali. While
these youngsters have been prae-
ticing only three months, the man
ner in which they played was a
revelation of musical ability.

feet. This accounted for the swift
ness with which practically every

The dropping of the top ground
forced the waters of the saturated
sub-strata to the surface, through
innumerable earth-cracks, flooding
