FACING BIG
TASK

-Four local colleges will taper
off their football work this after
noon as a final training gesture
for opening games tomorrow. The
teams involved are Catholic Uni
versity, American University,
Maryland and Georgetown with
the first-named undertaking the
greatest task.
Catholic University leaves to-
night for Boston where the Cardi-
nails stack UP against the formid-
able Boston College Eagles in the
first game for both teams. The
local lads held the Eagles to a
1876 score last year and will do
wonders if they repeat this per.
formance tomorrow.
However, many of the
mainstays of that 1929 Catho-
lie u. eleven have departed
and In their places will ap-
pear hOldover talent.
GEORGETOWN clashes with Mt,
st. Mary's tomorrow afternoon at
2:30 o'clock in the Griffith Sta
dium; Maryland takes on Wash
ington College at the same time
in the Byrd Stadium. and Ameri-
can u. engages Shenandoah Col
1ege in the Central High Stadium
at. 2:30 o'clock. Maryland and
American U. should not have any
trouble but Georgetown r1ay run
into a stubborn Mt. st. Mary's
eleven.
George Reds" Olsen, only let
teFman in American University's
baekfield, win be missing from to-
raorrow's game with Shenandoah,
suffering q wrist fracture in prac-
tice. Ed Parke, veteran end, has
been declared ineligible.
Thus the Eagles will have
only three lettermen avail
able for tomorrow. They are
Fred Johnson, center; Russ
Lambert, tackle, and Forrest
Diehl, former end, who will
appear at fullback.
Chester Bowers, a freshman
from Frederick, Md. will sub
stitute for Olsen with Wayne
Larson, another freshman, will
take Parke's place.
Coach Pixlee, of George Wash
ington, is looking around for
capable reserve talent. The Co,
1onial mentor feels he has II
players of worthpto start a game
but he fears that his replace
n1ents will be below standard.
Evidently Pixlee will have his
greatest difficulty with his back.
field. He has shifted big fellows
from the line in an effort to
remedy this deficit. One back.
field of Carlin, Carter, Wells and
Bagranoff appear to have a
power. Another backfield shapes

the first for a high school team
ever. Quite an opening, quite an

Lots of action, lots of in.

be mixed In these two games.
Most rivalry, Of course, win
be attached to the Central.
GOnzaga melee because of its
renewal after 50 many years,
1925 to be exact.
Central. as is known. was
beaten in that var, 7 to 3 and
will today be after revenge. And
as the instance presents itself j,
the Mount Pleasanters will no
doubt get revenge and in E. big
way because Of its more powerful
array of football talent at this
time than Gonzaga.
At that Gonzaga might pull the
unexpected and exc out. The Eye
Streeters could do that by putting
UP a real defense, which they
probably will put up anyhow,
and then, taking advantage Of
any break which might come their
way.
Gonzaga will have to watch a
powerful Central backfield COM
posed I Larry Pinckney, Whitley
Cumberland, Gene Colella and
Paul Hinkle. Coach Ty Rauber
hopes this quartet comes ur to
the expectations he has held for
it since the start of practice.
The Eye Streeters will no doubt
take to the air If they find the
Central defense too strong. Young
Garlic Mills will do the tossing.
In Techs night game at
Baltimore, Coach Hap Har-
dell plans to give every mem
Der on his squad a chance
to play. The mentor wants
to get a line on his candi-
dates and feels that this
game, win or lose, Is the
place to do it.
Tech has another game tomor-
row, that against Handley High
at Winchester, Va.

FARM BUREAU IN
FAVOR OF STATE
TAX ON AUTOS

BERKELEY, May -. (SpeciaD
For the better protection of farm

proximately 100000 automobiles
that now elude personal property
tax, the executive committee of the
California Farm Bureau Federation,
ut its recent meeting 1T Berkeley,
adopted as part of its tax program
support to Senate constitutional
Amendment No. Is.
"This amendment proposes to a
bolish taxing autos under personal
property tax methods and transfer
tax collections to a license method,
through increasing the annual state
auto license tax. BY this adjust
ment in method all autos will be re-
quired 20 pay the equivalent of the

method will cover the 20 to - per
cent Of ears that now elude tax col

head of the research department of
the state Farm Bureau Federation.
Based on Ellsworth's findings the

production in Imperial VALLEY We're
put forth at Yesterdays chamber

stated that he would like to see
daiIying here divorced from dairy
farming. ''As | see it, stated Nc
Donald, conditions here are favor
able for the support of 2000 to
5000 dairies instead of the 750 ae-
tually here. You have cheap wat
er, low priced land, cheap feed and
favorable weather aud yet the
dairy products are decreasing"
Louis b. McManus, president of
the Junior chamber told Of the ae-
tiyitlcs planned by that body for
the coming year and asked the co
operation of the senior body. These
activities include tree planting. the
formation of the Imperial Valley

TENPERING JUSTICE

Without any intention that IL Shoulu
have any bearing on the current politl-
cal campaign, lovers of justice are again
compelled to express admiration Tor
Governor Young in committing the death
sentence of Joe Troche, to life imprlson-
ment.
Troche was charged with Staying his
sweetheart while they were seated in an
autombile at Placerville. In his defense
he asserted they had quarreled and when
his efforts to heal the breach failed, he
determined to end his life. In the act
of shooting himself, his companion tried
to save him. The bullet struck him
glancing blow on the head and entered
the woman's body, killing her instantly.
Circumstances surrounding the case
indicated Troche was telling the truth
Only one bullet had been discharged in
his gun, yet he was wounded and his
companion was dead. Nevertheless he
was convicted and the supreme penalty
was imposed.
Six judges of the state supreme court
who reviewed the evidence, advised the
governor that they feared the death pen
atty in this case was too severe punish
nlent in view of the doubt arising from
the circumstances surrounding the crime
The governors action in committing
the sentence is justified by the almost
universal belief that it is better to have
10 guilty men go free than that one inno-
cent man should suffer Even if roche
has cleverly succeeded in putting one
over on justice, he is still being punish
ed by his imprisonment, and if he is lnno-
cent as he claims, he can tighten the lrk-
someness of his imprisonment by think
ing what a close shave he had from be-
ing executed.
Communication of sentences have been
infrequent during the governors admin
istration but in each case where he has
granted it there has been sound reas-
oning behind his action.

STATE STREET EXTENSION ALIVE

Advice from the chamber of commerce
states that the matter of extending State
street across the Southern Pacific rail
road tracks is not dead by any means,
and the battle to accomplish this desir
able bit of constructive progress will con-
tinue
Chief objection to the extension was
made by the Southern Pacific Company,
which is but natural because the railroad
must share a portion OF the expense Of
installing crossing The state railroad
commission was also induced to frown on
the matter because of a dissemination to
permit any additional grade crossings.
The extension, as has been pointed out
before, is deemed vitally essentia, to the
proper growth Of Ell Centro's business
and industrial sections in the opinion OF
those who have studied the situation.
There is only one main artery through
the business section, and traffic on it is
so heavy during the day as to prohibit
trucking
Shipments to and from the east side
must take round about route in getting
in and out of the city. No sound reason
can be advanced for forcing traffic to
turn north on Fourth street at State III
order to enter Main street, the only
means of reaching the east side unless
it goes two blocks south TO Orange street
The Southern Pacific officials have eX-
pressed a wish to cooperate with the city
in its program of expansion and have
promised to hold conference on the sub
ject of the extension, at which the chan-
ber has been requested to submit a brief,
setting forth reasons for granting the
extension.
State street is fast developing into
business thoroughfare. Plans for its I'M
provement in several ways have been
