SATURDAY GAME
PROMISES MUCH
BY FLOYD G. FARRAR
{High. School, Junior College
8 Reporter)

THE FL Centre and ,Calexico foot
ball teams are training very hard
this week in preparation for the
first game of the Imperial Valley
League, on Saturday ut Calexieo.
Calexico has. played one game and
won. That was with the Yuma In
dams last Saturday at Yuma, the
score being 26-0. FL Centro has
played two games and won, one
with the junior college October i'll,
when the score was 1876, and one
with the Army and Navy Academy
of San Diego last week, when the
score was 60. Both teams having
won a game or two shows that both
have class, and the game this Sat
urday should prove to be good
game. The Calexico, team is re-
puted as being fast on end runs
and heavy on line plunges. This
also is true of the El Centre team.
Calexico offers the following line
up for the game which is to be
played on theirl grounds at the ball
park, Saturday, October %:
Jack Stuart, Captain, fullback;
Gene Mcdaniel, right half; Robert

| AIRSHIP TWICE
AS BIG AS R-3

WASHINGTON, Oct. pa new
military airship over twice the
size of the ZR-3 and Shenandoah
viii be built by the United States
navy if the director of the budget
and congress grant the appropria-
tion now being asked by the navy
department, it was learned in Off
cial quarters.
Although tho size of the air Le-
viathan will depend upon the mon
ey available, present plans call for
capacity of about six million Gu,
bic feet, original plans for ten
million cubic foot ship having been
given up. The ZR-3 contains p
10000 cubit feat.
No official announcement of the
plans will be made until after the
election, even if the budget bureau
approves the expenditures.
Though the Goodyear Company,
which has purchased the Zeppelin
rights for North America, is under
stood to be anxious for a naval
contract to help build up its infant
sindustrv, naval Officers want the
new ship constructed ut the Phila-
delphia naval aircraft factory where
the Shenandoah was fabricated.
But the Goodyear Company would
presumably furnish the specla
fabric called ",gold beater skin >
for the gas bags, similar to that II
tho Shenandoah. The Aluminium Cor
poration of America is expected to
get the contract for the structural
! raw material.
/ Between s2,7O0,00O and $3,0oo,O0C
! is the estimated cost of the new
monster of the air. Though the
/ Shenandoah, with a capacity of y
10000 cubic feet cost over $2,00O,'
600, naval engineers claim that Its
construction was largely experiment
tai and that the relative cost OF a
second ship could be halved.
The fact that the ZR-3, under
the treaty terms, through which it
was acquired, cannot be used for
military purposes, is used by the
navy as an argument for a sister
ship for the Shenandoah.
