JACKSON MAKES OFFER
w. c. COSTELLO
Manager

IF the supervisors will agree on a more
equitable division of the gasoline tax
funds, which will give the north end a
better share of the money, to which |
think it is entitled, | will, at the next
meeting of the board, offer resolution
to eliminate the II cents road tax from
the county rate
This offer was made today to a repre-
sentative of the Press by Henry L. Jack
son, supervisor from the Brawley dis
trict, during discussion on county mat
tiers.
The supervisor also inferred that a
more equitable division of the gasoline
tax would in all probability 60 a long
way toward settling the redistrieting
fight which has been the cause Of consid-
cradle discussion throughout Imperial
Valley for weeks past.
There is considerable merit in the SUI
pervisor's statement. Jackson's district,
with more miles of road than any of the
other districts has not, IN the opinion OF
many fair minded citizens, been getting
its proportionate share of road funds
from the gasoline tax.
In the course of the conversation Jack
son stated that it is not too late to
change the county rate and his offer to
submit the resolution for eliminating the
II cents was made in good faith.
The Press believes the other supervls-
ors should give heed to Jackson's offer.
Let them forget sectional or personal diff
ferences and discuss the matter solely on
the basis of the greatest good to the great
est number. If there is any possible
chance of lowering the burden which the
tax rate is going to place on the taXpay-
ers, it should be done.
1t is the taxpayer, after all, who Is to
be considered, ne the supervisors, dele
cations or factions
Jackson's statement is an indication
that the tax rate CAN be- lowered with
out damaging the county's finances, and
there is no argument to be offered against
making every opportunity to do this.
We could hug that mule-headed min
ority in the Clark case for having the
courage of his convictions.

victory when he gave the sensa
tional Charley Reztlaff a shell
lacking two weeks ago, and &C
quilted himself creditably last
night in losing a 10-round deci
sion to Tommy Loughran, the
dapper Philadelphia boxing mas.
ter.
Loughran, ranked third among
the heavyweights by the National
Boxing Association. had a tough
time of it with Sekyra. Tom won
six rounds, three went to Sekyra
and one was even. But the fight
was fairly close until Loughran
clinched the verdict by a spirited
rally in the tenth round.
For the most part the bout was
a battle of left hands, with the
speedy Loughran usually beating
Sekyra to the punch. Toms
blows lacked steam, however, while
Sekyra's slashing left hooks
opened up two cuts around the
Philadelphian's left eye and an
other under the chin.
Sekyra was the aggress6r
throughout, but Loughran beat a
mastery retreat, Tending off his
opponent with a straight left.
Tom was in danger only once,
in the seventh round when Joe
put him on queer street for a
minute with hard right upper
cut to the jaw and smashing
rights and lefts to the body.
Loughran seWed up the fight in
the last round when he punched
Sekyra's head off.
Charley RetzIaff, whose de-
feat by Sekyra put the latter
back on the fistic map, made
1t 32 knOckouts in ~ starts by
stopping Dick Onken, Long
Island German. in the second
round.
Onken took enough punishment
to fell an OK but protested when
the referee led him, dazed and
bleeding. to his corner.
Rosario Impeliteri, a 21-year-old
giant weighing 265 pounds-big-
ger than Primo Camera - made
his first start after having been
tutored in gymnasium for four
years by Harry Lenny. With a
roll of fat around his midriff, the
newcomer looked as though he
had spent the four years in beer

SET--UPS HURT
GAME SENSE
Of PLAYERS
BY BOB ZUPPKE

The ideal opponent Tor big
team in the first game of the
season is one strong enough to
give you a good scare.
To schedule a team which you
are sure to beat by a topheavy
score is of little help in the de.
velopment Of your team. Some
times the big score gives the
coach a mistaken idea Of the
strength Of his team.
Last season" Pennsylvania in
two opening games piled up more
than 100 points, only to come
West the next week and suffer a
crushing defeat at the hands of
Wisconsin.
Good, stiff, preliminary games
are necessary to develop the most
important fundamental-the game
sense.
List Strong Foes
It is fine if the practice" op-
ponent has scoring ability which
discloses weaknesses in promising
players who have not been tested
in a game. No coach wants to
lose game just to give his team
experience. but he will be happy
If the foe has made his boys give
everything they had to win.
Northwestern and NOtre
Dame, which play an early sea-
son game, October 10, both
have scheduled stronger eIevenS
the week before, than coaches
usually desire. Northwestern
plays Nebraska and NOtre
Dame meets Indiana.
Both Northwestern and Notre
Dame look strong, but even with
their material they feel the need
of competition which will
strengthen their combat fiber.
If you can find a team for
your first game that plays the
same system used by strong
team you are soon to meet, this
is bound to be helpful in educat-
ing your players.
For instance, Illinois, with
green sophomore team, must meet
the veteran Purdue team October
10. Therefore for our opening
game October 3, we have sched-
uled st. Louis University which
used the Notre Dame style, also
followed by Purdue. Glenn Thistle
waite will bring Auburn from
the South, another devotee of
the South Bend system, to Wis
consin a week before the Badgers
take on Purdue.
A hard opener is especially
valuable to the coach with a
great deal Of new material. He
will be able for the first time
to judge the speed of his players
and how they time themselves
against speed. The scrubs and
freshmen are never fast enough
to develop the best defensive
timing.
