CLUB WILL TRY
TO HAVE BORDER
CLOSED EARLIER

At a we'll attended meeting of
the American Conservation Club
held in the club rooms last Monday
evening, a committee, which has
been investigating the attitude of
representative Imperial valley bust
ness men regarding the proposed ac-
tion to close the international line
at 6 p. m. on week days and at
noon on Sundays, made report, in
which they stated that all organi-
cations and business organizations
were unanimc cusly for the proposed
change, with the exception of q
small group in Calexico.
The investigating committee.
George Harlan, Ed Griffin and Ed
Welch, We're reappointed as a gen
eral committee to attempt to enlist
the support of all organizations,
churches and business institutions
of the county in addition to state
political backing for the change. 1t
was proposed that the committee
should negotiate with Mexican bust
ness men in Mexieali, endeavoring
to eliminate the gambling, leaving
the closing hour as it now stands;
this proposal was defeated by a
vote of nearly three to one.
1t was reported that the custom
officers from various ports of en-
trv on the border are meeting in
Washington to establish a uniform
hour on the entire border, and that
a strong financial committee has
been sent to Washington by the
various gambling houses in an eff
fort to have the hour set for not
earlier than p. m. and later if
possible.

| forts to break the Boulder dam fight
failed in the senate this afternoon
and that body moved into the 30th
continuous hour of its hectic see
sion deadlocked more tightly than
ever.
"Dog tired' from sleeplessness
and nerve weary from hours of con.
tinuous session, Senator Hiram
Johnson. Republican, California,
and his little group of fighters back
ing the Boulder Canyon Dam bin,
today conducted the legislative bat
tie of a decade in the senate.
Since II a. IN. yesterday the bat
talon has kept the senate in con-
tinuous session against a filibuster-
ing force just as enthusiastically
trying TO prevent final adoption of
the measure.
Both sides moved into the 30th
hour with equal physical strength
and morale, johnson men an
nouncing their intention of keeping
the senate in session until a vote is
reached and the filibusterers swear
ing they will kill the measure if
their voices hold out.
a council of war by opponents Of
the bill shortly after noon decided
an effort would be made shortly to
displace the measure by the bill for
reorganization of the prohibition de-
partment, but it failed.
Parliamentary difficulties also
lay ahead of the Johnson forces IN
that the senate several days ago en-
tered a unanimous consent agree
ment to recess at $50 p. m. until
p. IN. and then sit until II p. m. on
minor calendar bills. 1t is not
agreed what effect this will have
on the Boulder dam battle, but
Johnson indicated he might attempt
to keep the senate in session again
tonight to force Il vote after IL
p. m. if he is permitted that course
under the rules.
BY record vote, the senate de-
feated a motion of Senator Ashurst,
Democrat, of Arizona, to sidetrack
the Boulder dam bill and take up
bill to permit the Veterans Bureau
to lend money to war veterans on
bonus certificates.
The bonus bill was used only by
Ashurst in desperate effort to kill
the Boulder dam bill.
The vote was announced as 80 to
43, although the clerk failed to an
nounce one vote in the affirmative,
which would make the ballot 81
to 43. This result led the tired but
happy Johnson group to forecast
passage of the bill itself.
The vote was taken after a plea

despite this, two years ago,
Central swimmers were the talk
Of scholastic ranks.

VI scnOiaStAc ranhs.
The squad out for water sport
this season is large. Fifty-three
candidates can be seen attempting
to make the grade. Like football
most. of them are freshmen.
. The loss of cliff BraWner at the
end Of this year will be felt. The
fancy diving champion, holder of
many first places and outdoor and
indoor records, is swimming his last
season for the Mt. Pleasant School.
His last event under Central
colors will be at Princeton in the
intercollegiate Association scholastic
championship.
Stanford has been chosen num-
Der one man on the inter-
scholastic athletic swimming
team for 1927. His fine work
from the board last season gained
him this distinction
During the past year, in the Penn.
sylvania meet he finished second in
fancy diving. At Columbia he was
third, while at Yale and in the South
Atlantic events he came through
with first positions.
He has been Central's star per-
former in lesser events, too, having
won eight first places in fancy div
ing, five first places in 100-yard
swims, and five first places as num-
Der one man Of the relay team.
At Annapolis, recently, he won
first place in fancy diving from
the strongest opposition the Navy
Plebes could offer. He also
holds two A. A. U. records for
indoor and outdoor competition.
So, with such talent for track,
football and swimming, Central has
something to offer in the fields Of
competition for local scholastic ath-
letes. They will bear watching.
The Washington times., 1927-02-24

Central will get a major test in
Baltimore, Saturday night. The Mt.
Pleasanters are going over with the.
best talent available and this In
cludes experienced heads in track
and field.
Coach Bin Foley and his band of
nearly 20 athletes are primed for the
occasion. If confidence counts
Central will return with its por-
9ton of spoils.
In Hunter, Keller and Bra
shers, Foley will have as good
q pair Of sprinters as can be
brought out Of the school at this
time. In high jumping Free
man and Milans will be counted
upon. Milans and his team
mate, Hunter, will be reInem-
bered as having carried off first
and second in high jumps i'm
the local scholastic meet last
season.
bud" Noyes is down at Central
rs man for hurdles. He will take
the jumps at Baltimore and also
compete in the special 600-yard
event.
Then there is another athlete who
Foley can be proud of. He is
Phil "Pete" Kline. Kline is out for.
the javelin and discuss throw. Be-
Sides he is being touted as one of.
the best all-round athletes who win
carry the colors of Central this
year.
On the other hand, football is
getting an early start. HeadyE

tionally good.

missing. BlackiStOne's absence

mistic Of finding a player who

fact that it may appear a hard
job.

old lineman, encourages. Kelley.
Mikes" biggest worry will be
developing new linemen. Gradua-
ton has taken the entire line and
there is only Sproul as nucleus
for Central's line this season.
But there is something exception
ally good in the candidates who
have worked out at Central Sta
dunn, before the recent snow in
terfered. While there is promising
material, a big factor is most of
It is from the freshman class. This
will give Kelley the services of
most players for the next two years.
Swimming will take on an added
impetus insofar that Coach Draw
