lived in Kansas, was blown away on

Amid the hushed whispers Of the
juveniles, Virginia took q long journey,
met perilS and overcame them. Verify,
the children would have revolted If she
had done otherwise. Occasionally a
skeptic would be heard to say, Mother,
is that man really made of straw"
Or, do you think the wicked witch
will kill her?" But this was in reality
praise for the performers abilities.

Wava White, who shares honors with
Miss Thomas, has q novel way of enter

that were well deserving Of applause.
THE Thrillers," two wizards on skates,

GETS PUBLICITY
in COAST PAPER

That the annual Halloween Frolic

the colorful originality of the Frolic

CORY INTERESTED
IN new PROJECT
TO GET WATER

H. T. Cory, eminent engineer
whose skill was responsible for the
closing of the break in the Colorado
river in February of 1907 when he
directed the closure campaign for
the California Development COM
pany and Associated Hartman
lines, is in the valley again in the
interests Of a large engineering
project.
Plans for bringing water from the
desert in the vicinity of Gray's
Wells in concrete conduits to the in
ternational border and therefrom
through the center of the valley to
all valley towns, are said to engage
Cory at present.
His familiarity with Imperial VAL
ley geology, climate and condition;
stand him in good stead He made
a study of the entire region from
1906 to 1909 and before that time
had been a frequent visitor.
Wells are to be sunk on the east
side mesa about half way between
Ell Centro and Yuma, where water
seepage from the Colorado river
creates pools of water purified by
natural filtration. According to re-
ports, financiers back of the prof.
ect propose to sink the wells, build
the conduits provided valley cities
issue bonds to purchase the COM
pleted development.
Cory is in the valley directing
preliminary surveys and is expected
to remain here for some time
He is making his headquarters in
CaleXico, the same town in which
he resided during his years of ac-
tivity here.
Cory is the author of several
writings concerning Imperial VAL
ley, among them being Irrigation
and River Control in the Colorado
River Delta"

OHIO STATE TO
MAKE BID FOR
BIG TEN TITLE
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Oct. 20. U.P)-For the
first time since 1926 Ohio State has
developed a formidable contender
for the Big Ten football champion
ship.
Ohio State hasn't had a cham
pionship team since 1920 when DR..
John Wilce's wonder team with its
flare for winning games in the last
few minutes of play annexed the
title.
Ohio States path to the Big Ten
title is StreWn with difficulties. Not
only must the Buckeyes defeat last
years co-champions of the Big Ten
on successive Saturdays, but they
have to conquer Indiana, Wiscon-
sin and Illinois. Wisconsin estab-
lished itself as one of the strongest
teams in the conference by upset.
ting Purdue last week, 21-14, and
Illinois sophomore team promises to
be considerably stronger in NoVem-
Der than it is now.
Coach Sam Williaman's team sue
cesSfully passed its first hurdle in
defeating Michigan, but the Buck
eyes have to put on more power for
their real test Saturday against
Northwestern, last of the uabeaten
preseason favorites.
The Ohio State Northwestern
battle promises to be the most i'm
portant October game in the Big
Ten, and may possibly determine
the title.
On their records to date, North
western seems to hold an edge over
Ohio State, but neither team has
opened up with all its resources.
Vanderbilt defeated Ohio State two
weeks ago, 26-21, making four
touchdowns IN the first half, two
OF them on bad generalship and
misdirected passes by a second
string Buckeye quarterback The
Buckeyes proved their courage by
coming back in the last half to score
three touchdowns and almost pulled
the game out Of the fire.
Northwestern and Notre Dame
played a scoreless tie in the mud
and rain at Soldier Field, and it
was Notre Dame and not North
western that came closest to defeat.
Northwestern once drove to Notre
Danes three-yard line and on an
other occasion a Wildcat pass over
the goal line was incomplete.

CENTRAL TEAM
LOOKS FORWARD
TOFRIDAY GAME

With the weather, their team
mates, and particularly the coach
favoring a contest in which action
will be the prime requisite for
warmth, Central Union High School
gridders today looked forward con-
fidently to their game at o'clock
Friday night with Brawley high
school on the north end gridiron
Once and for all, or at least just
for once, the FL Centrans plan great
plans for settling this redistricting
question by proving an equal num-
Der of Ell Centrans may outvote IL
Brawleyites by at least one touch
down.
Since this is the first game Of
the season in which two valley high
school teams have faced one another
across the 50-yard line, a large
crowd is expected to trek from Ell
Centro to Brawley to witness the
clash.
From the high school a delegation
of enthusiasts will carry strong
lungs to split the ozone in favor of
their own team, chartering collegi-
ate strip-downs and fathers best
limousine TO make the trip.
With a weeks rest behind them.
and period of strenuous practice
in which most bumps of early sea-
son roughness have been well worn
off, the Central gridders will prob
ably be in better shape than Braw-
ley for the game, and all available
information points to an Ell Centro
victory over the strongest rivals of
the county seat team.
