PLANE TRIP TO COAST MEETS
APPROVAL OF LOCAL WRITER

gardens grace a setting OF natural
beauty. Then orange orchards laid
out so geometrically perfect You'd
think there were enough orange
trees to supply the world right in
sight. Guess that's what the orange
men think this year.
Then San Bernardinc, sort of
Chicago like, with its smoke coming
up from the shops here and there.
/ There is Cotton, too, and near it the
cement plant. Well, only a few
minutes left and our lady passen-
ger begins to powder her nose. So
here we are right over Signal Hill
oil fields. You could shut your eyes
and know 1t on account OF the smell
of crude oil. Not many wells active
and no new rigs going up. The oil
business is suffering. TOO.
We can feel the plane nosing
down and hear the deceleration OF
the motor and in a perfect three
point landing, we are on the ground
again at the Long Beach municipal
! airport with scarcely jar. We taxi
up in front of the guest house and
three OF our passengers get ont to
catch boat for Catalina. The pi-
lot gives her the gun and we con-
tinue to Grand Central Airport, the
terminus of this run. Here we wait
for two hours for express and other
( passengers before. we go down TO
San Diego and then over to the
vallty again. This part of the trip
is also very interesting, especially
when you fly above billowy floor
of clouds between San Diego and
the mountains.
Landing at Imperial Airport
again. We can truthfully say that we
have had safe. enjoyable and in
teresting trip. Our tall pilot handled
the ship perfectly and did not seem
bit tired, most of the way. in fact,
the ship practically flew itself,
with the exception of changing di-
rection and landing. The Rapid
Airlines deserves the encourage
ment and cooperation in its venture
of putting Imperial Valley on reg
ular flying schedule. The round
trip fare to Los Angeles is very
moderate, and considering the time
saved on the trip is downright
cheap.

the Cardozo Business High School
eleven ended its football season
by decisively defeating Howard

in the Walker Memorial Sta

The contest, after the first
quarter, was turned into a track
meet, with Robinson aided by
Lamar, halfback, turning in three
touchdowns each. The former
made his scores as the result of
taking two long passes from
Lamar, which were each good for
40 yards. and the other by
intercepting a Howard forward
pass and sprinting 80 yards to
score.
Lamar registered two touch

added five extra points after

InterceptS Pass
Probably the most thrilling
play of the contest was the 85-
yard run to a touchdown by
Lucas, Cardozo backfield man.
He intercepted a Howard High
pass on the latter's 15-yard line
and with perfect interference
sprinted down the field like a
flash.
Howard High scored early in
the second quarter by blocking
a Cardozo punt on the latter's

a long forward pass to Roy,

LII 6S VI UdGLA6'
He gained a 15-round decision
not unanimous and loudly
boeed as we'll as wildly cheered-
from Kid Chocolate last night
after one of the most sensational
slugging brawls seen in New York
in many years.
Referee Willie Lewis and Judge
Joe Angelic voted for Tony;
Judge Charles F. Mathison cast
for the Cuban negro. The opinion
was divided in the press box, buJ
the verdict was almost a unit for
Canzoneri, the majority giving
him eight rounds, Chocolate
four. and the others even.
The youngsters started off with
the speed of a locomotive and
the fury Of suddenly unleashed
and starving tigers, tossing sci
ence into complete discard, they
concentrated all they had in the
effort for a whirlwind knockout
But the second round ended, with
both upright and Tony out in
front.
Tony Comes Back
Then Chocolate came with a
furious rush. He swept Tony
around the ring with a blizzard
of leather, and when the sixth had
ended it seemed that the Kid
must win-that Tony had blown
and was so weary that he must
falter and fall before many more
blows had gone crashing to his
head and body.
But in the seventh Tony reused
himself. He held the negro even
Then he took the aggressive and
never again backed away. He
ripped and tore with relentless
fury at the negro's body; he
swung for his chin and, whether
he landed or missed, he kept blaz.
ing away.
The negro, putting on display
of raw courage that equaled that
of the champion, fought back in
desperation. Unafraid. and uncar.
ing of a possible knockout, he
stood toe-to-toe with the man who
outweighed him almost five pounds
and never retreated, unless it was
to get more leverage for a newer
swing or a harder drive.
Both Groggy at End
It was Tony's round-the thir.
teenth. The fourteenth produced
an orgy of wild swinging where.
in you could score 1t Tony, or
score for the Kid-or call it even
After that came the fifteenth
the final and one of the craziest
rounds ever fought.
Calling on the last iota of
strength in their bodies, fighting
with over that none in the
record-smaShing audience thought
they had left, Tony and the Kid
went catapulting into each other
and for three minuteS-and more
they lashed each other with al!

that were foreign to them-in.
ventions of do-or-die moments of
ring warfare.
They were still slugging at the
