CENTRAL UNION
GETTING READY
FOR HOLTVILLE

After two days rest from Satur-
days struggle with the Brawlcy
Wildcats, the FL Centre Spartans
are getting in trim again for next
Saturdays game with Hoitvillc to
be played at Holtville at 2:30
o'clock. rhc Spartans came through
last Saturdays game without any
injuries but pretty tired and sore
from strenuous playing.
Hammer and Ehmke, two of the
Spartan star players, were i'll sun
day and were not at school Monday.
However, they are expected to re-
cover sufficiently to play against
Holtville Saturday, as both arc
needed badly.
Holtville was slaughtered Monday
by the Calexico Bulldogs to the tup<
of 20 to o. Calexico is considered
the strongest team in the valley,
and the Spartans' playing Saturday
will tell pretty well just how they
will stack up against Calexico when
the two teams play November IL,
at Ca'exico.
Junior college eleven defeated
Holtvillc early in the season to
Q, and the Spartans trounced the
Junior college Is to Z. Therefore,
they should, according to the aver
ages, defeat lIoltville as badly as
Calexico did. Yet, the Spartans do
not think Holtvillc will be an easy
mark. They played a good game
against :he Junior college, and they
, should be in much better condition
! Saturday than they were then.
The Spartan substitutes held n
long scrimmage Monday with the
third team and, according to Coach
Armstrong, both teams gave good
account Of themselves. Last night

:. At least that was the impression
of1lookers at the Palmer Stadium
took away with them on Satur-
day after the Lehigh triumph.
Princeton adherents took some
comfort from the size of the score
against the supposedly strong
Lehigh eleven--20 to 0--hut had
to admit after reviewing their
afternoons entertainment that
Wfttmer did it all.
- Nor could they find much

\e that their eleven should have
scored at least six or possibly i
more.
Seven times the fighting war
riors from Bethlehem took the
ball away from the Tiger on
downs inside the 10-yard line. A
great show of spirit and fight
but also a very evident lack of a
scoring punch in the Tiger lineup.
While Wittner was in the game
I the attack moved, Of course, be-
cause he took the ball on nearly
every play. Carey, the new quar-
terback, whipped around the ends
for couple of fancy gains, but
every time the Tiger needed a
couple of yards to retain posses
sion of the ball Wittmer was
asked to get them.
And he came through consis-
tently-though the Lehighans did
stop even him during the first
period. The pounding they took
in those three Princeton marches
down the field finally took it's
toll, however, and in the second
period they couldn't cope with his
speed.
Wittmer. of course, has what it
takes. He's great back. Can do
everything that the great stars do
with a football and do it almost
as well. He can hammer the line

Three times in the third
quarter, after Moldauer's end
runs had carried the ball into
the scoring zone, Lehigh braced
and stopped them, the last time
only inches from the goal line. q
