NO PREDICTIONS

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Jan. 80. UP)-
Although Dizzy Dean. the boy
wonder from San Antonio says he
will win 25 games for the Cardinals
this season, thus practically assur-
ing them of the pennant, Manager
Charles "Gabby" Street is not so
optimistic, either about Dean or the
Red Birds.
He informed the United Press to-
day that he believed the Cardinals
will be in the midst of a five-corner-
ed race for the pennant.
- don't care to predict where the
Cardinals will be July first. August
first, or September first" Street
cautiously advised. However. I
think we will be up in the race all
the way. There are four dangerous
clubs in the league besides the Car
dinals. / look for Pittsburgh, New
York, Chicago and Brooklyn to be
in the race"
Dean, 20-year- -old sensation OF the
Texas league last year is on record
as saying fans could bank on me
TO win 25 games" With Grimes,
Hallahan and Haines, not TO men,
ticn a few other pitchers, winning
their share of games, such string
of victories as Dean says he can de-
liver, would give the Cards their
second pennant in row.

prediction, would only say. from

he pitched last fall he should win
quite a few games for us After

night, and the San Diego Army and
Navy Academy team At 8 o'clock

high school alumni. This game will
start at o'clock.
El Centro Junior College and
Yuma high school should put well
matched teams onto the floor to-
night. Neither has been beaten by
team of its own calibre in Call
fornia, but the record of one or the
other is due for first class stooll-

The game with, the San Diego
academy tomorrow night has been
planned for some time, but Coach

not receive word until recently that
the date set was okay with officials
of the coast school.
The academy quintet is an un-

is concerned, but judging from past
performances of other teams from
the school, it will furnish plenty
of fight for the Ell Centrans.

INJURIES HELP TO
 V. M. 1. GRID TEAM
 AS NEW MEN SHINE

LEXINGTON, Ky, Nov. IT. = Early season injuries were good for the V. M. I. Flying Squadron, and the football coaches are happy.
 Head Coach Bill Rafferty and Coach Ed Hess agree that the in- jury of four outstanding men al the beginning of the year has done wonders for the team.
 Right now Buck Wright, full back; Jack Lavinder, halfback, and Bill Kaylor and Charlie Straub, tackles, are doing their best to get well, but they'll have a harder time getting back on the first team.
 When Wright broke a wrist, Ralph Waite, rugged senior from Livermore Falls, Maine, stepped in as fullback and put on one-man raid on enemy lines that paid in touchdowns.
 Lavinder. a triple threat back, was hurt in practice, and in no time at all Bill Smith, 19-year -old quarterback from Birmingham, AL abama, was whipping passes all over the field with deadly aim.
 Capt. Johnny Gill was called back from end to do the bunting previously handled by Lavinder, and the lanky cadet leader did such a good job of it he stayed put.
 That left only Lavinder's run ming, blocking, and defensive work to be accounted for, and these as signments have been taken over in grand style by Stumpy Travers, stocky little back from Alexandria, Va.

CROWLEY REDUCES MICHIGAN STATES
 DEBT ON STADIUM

EAST LANSING, Mich, Nov. IT. Jimmy Crowley's showmanship is earning a victory on the financial ledger of Michigan State college that's as welcome as the triumphs his coaching skill is producing on the gridiron.
 Early retirement of the institu- tion's S155,000 debt to the state on the stadium is Crowley's aim, and he is making his football shows" attractive to the paying public with that end in view.
 Nattily- -attired teams featuring white jerseys with green arm stripes and numbers both front and back a snappy style of offense in the Notre Dame pattern, and an increasingly respectable percentage of victories against high-calibre foes are helping spin the turn stiles.
 The college has paid $30,000 of it's debt, s25,0o0 of that amount having been turned over to the state since Crowley took charge three seasons ago.
 Attendance has been better this season than in 1930 Crowley has indicated he not only wishes to get the stadium paid for, but hopes to see the time when two additional wings will be needed to accommo- date the crowds.
 Crowley, known during his play ing days as Sleepy" was left half back on the famous Four Horse men" team at Notre Dame in 1924
