DEWITT BOY
BEST ,SAYS
H|SCOACH

Tom Keefe, Dewitt Props great
halfback, is a better schoolboy
football player than Johnny
Bozek ever was! That's the
candid opinion of Jim Mcnamara,
enterprising athletic director.
The Dewitt coach, who has wit
messed Washington's leading ball
runners for the past several
years, unhesitatingly pronounces
Keefe to be the greatest broken
field runner he has ever seen.
Because we've played mostly
out of town, Washingtonians
havn't had much of chance to
see Keefe," Mcnamara admitted
today, but those who saw him
cut loose against Central are still
raving about his performance.
81 saw BOZek travel in his
hey-day and he didn't have a
thing on this chap. Keefe's

able speed, a change of pace,
and about everything else a
really great player needs.
And those who haven't seen
him yet, will get their OPP
pOrtunity when Dewitt plays
GOnZaga, Saturday"
When Keefe trotS out on the
field against the Purple at Amerl-
can League Park, Saturday, he
will be showing for the last time
as scholastic. And it is under
stood that he has been instructed
to let loose with everything he
has.
Following his graduation in
June the gifted youth will trans
fer either to West Point or
Georgetown University. And,
those who have seen him go,
predict a splendid college career
for the Dewitt ace.
Keefe's one-man parade against
Central will not soon be forgotten.
The Blue and White, which had
manifested stubborn defensive
qualities in all previous appear
ances, failed utterly to stop the
helusive Dewitt back who displayed
both cunning and power. On
pne occasion the nimble back
ielder outspeeded at least five
Would-be tacklers and shook off
Wo more as he shot around right
nd for a touchdown.
Nor will Keefe be alone III the
Dewitt offense. Three other backs
Llmost equally brilliant will make
1t necessary for Gonzaga to pre-
pare for a versatile and well
rounded attack.
Milton AbramSOn, quarter
back, is one of the fastest
leather carriers ever turned
out at Dewitt. Francis Ber-
nard is an adept Speedster
and also opens up interfer-
ence while fullbaCk Francis
Knott is a real triple threat

Tangora and Soens, mammoth
tackles, have played huge part

Gonzaga's defending champions,
however, are not in the least

ponent. Rather they seem set to
out-do themselves in an effort to
pull a surprise on one of the
most touted District preparatory
school elevens of recent years.

HEFTY FULLBACK
NAVY WANT
INDOOR SPORTS

It looks as II Navy Will nave
plenty of football material for
next year in the way of running
backs, and that its outlook for
tackles and ends is fine. How
ever, it must develop one or more
big, powerful players for the
backfield, and it must replace it's
center trio with reserves. Joe
Clifton and Harold Bauer, big
fellows who have played with the
varsity for three seasons, and
who are valuable as blockers and
defensive players, will graduate.
An effort was made to break
in Oscar Hagberg, who played at
end tackle, as a back of the type
CT Clifton. It was begun late,
and results could not be obtained
in the short time, but Coach Bill
Ingram has not abandoned the
effort, and will give Hagberg fur
their instruction.
A powerful and active player
Of 100 pounds, and a strong
defensive player, he would be
a valuable back If he can
learn to lead the way for the
carrier. Hagberg is also a
good punter, almost as good
as BOwStrOm.
The best prospects for the
backfield next year from the
present varsity squad are kim
Cannon. Castree, Dale Bauer, Will
liamS, McCracken, Davis, Rogers,
10th and Tschirgi, with a strong
possibility that others will de
velop. The best who will be
secured from the plebe squad ap
pear to be Samuels, Campbell
and Erck.
Kim is greatly in the thoughts
Of Naval people owing to mis-
great work in the Dartmouth
game. The most appreciated
quality of this sterling back is
he can make yards when inside
opponents 10-yard line, something
Navy has lacked for several
seasons.
Kim weighs 16O pounds
and is only five feet and nine
inches tall, with lots of
strength and fight. He is
nearly six months over FL
years Of age and has two
more years at the Academy.
There are indications that the
center trio T'ill be heavier than
last year. Tuttle, who stands the
best chance of making the
snapper back position, weighs 1870
pounds. johnson and Underwood,
weighing around 1876 pounds
apiece, are strong and active
guard candidates from this years
squad, and there is talk of using
Gray, a 100 pound tackle, as a
guard next season. Then there
are Danenhauer and Reedy, this
years plebe guards, each Of
whom weighs 200 pounds or
more.

SIERRA AND RANKIN

The spirit of the good padre Junipero Sierra must
have looked down from the heavenly heights yesterday
with all the astonshnent spirit can muster as it
beheld the rapidity with which modern man travels
along the old highways which he trod foot while
serving his Master in rescung his beloved California
from the heather.
For yesterday Tex Rankin, of the race which
supplanted the good padres people travelled across
the entire length of California, high in the air. and
more, for his trip started in Canada and ended
in Mexico embracing in its course the entire width
of the United States.
Padre Sierra built his missions "a days journey
apart" TTeTX Rankin made his entire trip of 1850
miles in little more than 13 hours less time than
it took the padre to go from mission to another.
AT its end Rankin was in good shape, not tired
by his experience Padre Sierra, at the close of the
days journey, knew what it was to be tired. Often
he in state of exhaustion.
1t is far cry from the tired padre toilinp along
on foot with his staff to support him. and in
while enjoying the luxury of the ox-cart to the speed
and ease of Tex Rankins trip 1t is remarkable when
considers that the development has taken place
in little than 80 years.

of the property is more than pleas
ed to cooperate with the county in
constructing curve which will be
the means of saving life, and will
provide the necessary right of-way
for the enlargement of this curve
to make it conform with modern
highway practice.
This curve and the curve three
miles east known as Curphy's cor

months ago representative of the
chamber of commerce and the Auto
mobile Club went before the coun-
ty board of supervisors and that
body agreed that If the necessary
rights-ofway were obtained the
county would change the curves to
make traffic safe. 1t was agreed
that El Centre should provide the
right-ofwa on South Fourth
street and the Calexieo Chamber of
Commerce should furnish an ease
ment for the curve east of Heber.
