was taken yesterday afternoon when
Harlan filed in superior court a
verified and amended petition for
writ of mandate to force the
trustees to restore him TO the pos
ition of principal and teacher of
the seventh and eighth grades in
the Jasper school.
The amended position sets forth
in detail Harlans charges that
members of the board Of trustees
attempted to force him to resign
his position of principal, and die
reduce his salary from $2520 TO
1880, when the probationary salary
for teacher is Sl602.
The trustees demanded his resig-
nation, and threatened him with
disgrace and humiliation by reviV-
ing old charges of immoral and un-
professional conduct, which were
dismissed for lack of prosecution
if he did not resign, Harlan charged
in the petition.

Fouls Lose Game
For Local Team

Too numerous fouls last night
cost the Ell Centro Junior College
basketball team victory over Phoe-
nix Junior College, the Phoenicians
winning 81 to 10 after FL Centro's
entire forward wall had been re-
moved from the game for fouling.
Sixteen fouls called against the
Ell Centrans caused Williams, Porte
and Carey to be removed from the
game during its earlier part. With
out these players the locals were
able to hold the strong Phoenix five
to 81 points.
The Phoenix coach stated, after
the game, Ell Centro has a stronger
team than that of last year. After
the contest the Phoenix players
left for the coast, where they have
five games scheduled.

FAVOR TROJANS
TO WIN CONTEST
AGAINST TULANE.
BY GEORGE II. BEALE
United Press Staff Correspondent

PASADENA, Dec. %. U.P = The
particular brand of enthusiasm
that permits the Southern Califor-
nian to become a rabid booster of
local products has been turned on
the New Years day football game
with the likely result that South
ern California will be favored heav-
lily over Tulane Friday.
A very definite trend in that di-
rection was noted today in a sur
vey of betting commissioners, all
of whom reported that, despite the
records of the respective contend
ers, money was being offered on
Southern California at increasingly
longer odds.
Where two days ago the coast
conference champions were backed
to win by seven points at even
money, 13 points were being offered
today with the indication that the
scale would go up if the weather
cleared and insured good fast
field that would not hold down
scoring.
The fact that Tulane swept un-
defeated through its long schedule
to become southern conference
champions and that the Trojans
were tripped once during the season
had no curbing effect on Southern
California enthusiasm.
The feeling was that while Tulane
was good Southern California was
much better.
The same trend to Southern CAL
ifornia was noted Just previous to
the Georgia game although the rea-
son was more apparent then.
Georgia had no such impressive
record as has Tulane and those
who watched the Bulldogs in prac-
tice felt that their lack of heft and
beef made it certain they could not
stop the heavy Trojan line and
backs.
This was true as the score, go to
0 indicated, but there is no lack of
heft and beef in the Tulane out
fit. 1t is even probably that Coach
Ernie Beirman's line will outweigh
the Trojan forwards when the whis-
tie blows in Rose Bowl January /.
Tulane Impressive
Western writer's we're impressed
in the short glimpse they had Of
the Tulane team in practice.
Don Zimmerman, who made the
most second l-American teams,
certainly throws passes as we'll as
anyone on the coast this season.
He gets them off on the dead run
to Vernon Haynes and Jerry Dali
rymple, considered the greatest pair
of pass receivers that the south
has known.
Zimmerman looks fast and elus-
i've enough to be dangerous always
in an open field and Haynes and
Dalrymple handle themselves as if
they really could play as we'll as
advance notices claim.
1t would seem certain that Tu-
lane should score at least once
through the efforts of this trio.
Southern California has estab-
ashed itself as team almost i'm
possible to stop, once it starts roll
ing. Its crushing victories over
Georgia, Oregon, Oregon State
and its last quarter rush to win
from Notrc Dame bear out this
reputation.
At the same time it has failed to
start rolling on occasions. as against
ST. Mary's when Southern Califor-
MIA was beaten and as against
California when the Trojans eked
out to 0 win.
Southern California should be a
slight favorite over Tulane but Ger.
tainly there is no very good reason
for any extravagant odds.

BY SIDNEY Il. WHIPPLE
inch Hitting for Henry McLemol


of sporting life into which I was
thrust as second assistant substi-
tute for Col. Henry McLemore, the
more amazed l become at the STU
pendous requirements that fall to
the lot of sporting editors.
Time was when a sports reporter
needed only to know how to score
a baseball game and how to tell
whether a touchdown was made in
order to qualify as an expert To-
day it is all changed.
II you had asked the average
sports writer, 20 years ago. what 2
chukker was, he probably would
have said 1t was some sort of In
dian relish, confusing 1t with
chutney.
Now, in addition to the bridge
hands that dazzle you every day
on some sports pages Eyes, there
are still some people who figure it
as sporD you may find even chess,
checkers and fancy skating.
Yachting qualities as sport and
SO, for a fact does fox hunting,
although the latter, with its chat
ter about "cofers" and brushes
and similar terms, and all its
punctilious insistence upon form, D
has only in the rarest instances
been separated from the society
pages where it distinctly belongs.
So, pity the poor young cub
breaking into the sports depart
ment. He goes to his first fancy
skating contest. He finds thrust
into his hands a sort of program,
or score car (gitty SEQ cahd!
Can't tell a play widout SEQ

boy, the so-called legend" that Is
supposed to explain it all adds the
following information:
"R-Right. LEFT. O--Outside.
Backward. Inside. F-F'or-
ward.'
Well, I'm not going to explain
it, first, because it's of no import
ance, and second, because after my
lucid explanation the thing would
be more of mystery than ever.
In yachting, there are such
things as water lines, weight,
canvas spread and other measure
ments to be considered, and man
must know where the wind is blow
ing and whether the boats be on a
run, heat, or a reach.
Chess has its symbols, such as
PK4, which is as far as I ever get.
Checkers, lately becoming fashion
able in Manhattan, are numbered,
to-wit, viz. and i.e., 11-15, Oil and
SO forth, although, writing from
memory, I'm not sure those fig
ures are correct.
Statistics, statistics, statistics.
Some day the sporting editor will
have to use comptometers, logari-
thm tables and compasses to get
out his page.
