CENTRAL FACES
TOUGH TASK TO
BEAT PIT. IONA

Sharpening their Spartan spears
! against the Points of Iona (just TO
have little pun), Central Union
High school gridders today girded
themselves in very determined
manner 70 meet the onslaught of
Point Iona high school tonight and
repel the forces of the coast with
the sternness of the desert.
Advancing with a threatening at
! titude, Point Iona growled deeply
in its collective chest threats having
to do with the defeat of Sweetwater
by the Spartans and revenge to be
/ taken by one coast team for the
defeat of another.
BY a delayed shift play, made
necessary because of the Fall Open
ing in Ell Centro, the game will not
start until O'Clock, SO that crowds
who are torn between civic duty to
look at the windows, and a great
desire TO look at the plays, will have
chance to do both.
Preparing for the fight they ex-
pect on the gridiron tonight, fem

just how much out of luck Point

There are more sober faces on the
roster of the El Centre team than

however, for the team members
heve been told on good authority
just how tough is the battle they
face.
Students were told of the task
facing their team at a pep rally
yesterday morning at the hig,

fiance that made the rafters ring,
at the instance of Yell-leaders
Underwood, Wong and Jenny.
Forgetting the defiance hurled by
non-players. members of the El
Centro team yesterday afternoon
went through a signal practice char
acterized by Coach Armstrong as
the most encouraging of the season.
The squad seemed to have pulled

members of the team seem to be
more rapidly than was
expected from their hurts.
Templeton, West and Butler will
be the only ones unable to play to-
night. They, however, will get their
chance in the Brawley game. pro-
viding they are able to beat some of
the rockies out of a job. Keesee
is not in the best of shape but will
play if necessary. Tackett may be
able to play if he snaps out of it
before game time, but his enthusi-
asm has been nil all week.
Edgar was shifted to Tackett's
position yesterday afternoon, and
Hartsog took Edgars place in a
shift that may spell disaster to
Point Iona. Coach Armstrong ex-
poets the combination to instill a
deal more fight into his squad.
Hartsog passed the ball for Holtville
last year, and, though light, is a
fighter.

Mistaken Identity
(Ncw York World-Herald)


General Sessions Judge William
Allen has granted new trial to Pat
rick o'Brien.
O'Brien, 10, Is in Sing Sting under
sentence OF from 20 to 40 years for
robbing drug store with firearms.
1.-TWO Crowley, in the death
house. says that he and not O'Br!en
committed the robbery. The photo
graphs Of the two show q marked re-
semblance Of profile. Another pris-
oner, Weed. former associate Of
Crowley, admitted that he was Crow
leys accomplice In the crime.
Most significant Of all. O'Brien's
mother, two sisters and neighbors,
swore at his trial that he> was sick
in bed at home the day Of the rob-
berry.
There are other impressive grounds
for doubling O'Brien's guilt. Judge
Aliens reason for granting the new
trial was that the robbery obviously
was committed by professionals" /"
O'Brien, a church choir singer, has q
good record and was never known to
have run with criminals.
The new trial will provide most
welcome test Of possible gross in
stance OF mistaken identity.

Trend of Literature


A list was compiled the other day
of the best sellers Of the last 80 years.
It reveals much about the trend OF
American life.
Back in 1902 Mrs. Wigs of the
Cabbage Patch" was a we'll known
literary figure. She lived in a SIM
pie, homely story. There was some
thing refreshing about her. And
when "The Little Shepherd Of King
dom Come" left home in 1904 with
only his dog to trail him across the
mountains, he had wet-eyed audi
ence. That same fearful influence
went along the trail of the Lonesome
Pine when June went back to remem-
ber her lost romance. It predomi-
mated when Garth went blind In
"The Rosary
Books were simple. They dealt
with emotions that hadn't acquired
a veneer Of sophistication. Life
wasn't complex in those tales. For
the most part books were erected on
love and sacrifice and honor. If an
author could make his readers weep
he had done much.
But another influence crept in just
before 1915. Industry was growing
larger. 1t was fast becoming a pre-
dominating force in American social
life. And since literature follows life
it became the skeleton for fiction
plots as we'll.
Booth Harrington used it in "The
Turmoil" Smoky skies OF American
cities were as interesting as the
drama of love over which two young
people fought on more or less in
dustrial basis. .....
But Seventeen" was a return to
pure. unalloyed enjoyment Of the
wistfulness that goes with youth. 1t
was life itself, unhampered by out
side restriction. Life at II. And it
was lovely.
And then suddenly literature wasn't
afraid to look at the hidden side of
life. It decided not only to talk
about the things that people do, and
their consequences, but to give the
reasons for the actions. 1t grew in
Prospective. It criticized when it felt
like it. It caricatured.
Instead Of telling story about a
certain group of people it chose
cross sections Of life itself. It had a
lesson to teach. The fact that John
married Mary was interesting but
not important. Quite probably John
didn't. And II he did, he and Mary
were just as likely to have wished
that they hadn't.
"Main Street." ELMER Gantry,"
If Winter Comes" 80 Big" g.. the
list began to look as though the au-
thors were living intensively as well
as extensively. Best sellers had out
grown their growing pains. They
weren't afraid to talk about the
symptoms Of life.
And literature, while it may not be
as quietly enjoyable, is considerably
more instructive. That is-if you
want to be instructed.

Most of the reminiscence writers

note the item: Wilson had been in

recalled that once he had been q

the lady whose beautiful back was ad-
vertised from coast to coast.

But what they forgot to mention
was that Jack Wilson had another
stage partner :. And she was Ada
Lane, the charming performer he
married She died in 1914, and
the tale goes that he pledged himself
never again to marry 80. She was

A Worthy Cause

Football at Sing Sing

There are many advantages q foot
ball team at Sing Sing has over COL
lege elevens. For instance, the news
paper correspondents point out that
the coach is serving a 59-year SEN
tence for kidnapping. There is no i'm
mediate danger that he will be lured
away from the prison campus by Of
fers OF increased remuneration.
Other members Of the team are
under heavy sentences and unless
they tire of the game, the line and
the fighting backs will not change
materially as the seasons come and
60.
Training problems also are reduced
to minimum. The boys are locked
up regularly the whole year around
and prison fare Is not Of q nature to
injure the average football player.
In fact, prison routine hardens rather
than softens the body. A New York
paper comments upon another fea-
ture Of prison football:
''The privilege OF locking up
the team each night at a reason
able hour Is one which other
coaches would esteem. There is
no four-year or three-year rule,
and freshmen from the Tombs
may qualify for the team on the
same terms with seasoned 'lifers.'
Finally, while Harvard, Yale and
Princeton have long known the
thrill Of playing against tradi-
tional rivals, when Sing Sing
plays the Port Jervis policemen
next Sunday there viii be q truly
traditional contest"
