TITLE HOLDERS
FIGHT TONIGHT

CHICAGO, Dec. 20. URJ - A
motley collection of geographical
fistic champions and contenders
will fight tonight in four bouts at
the Chicago stadium.
Two featherweight and two light
heavyweight bouts make up the
program, for which the stadium
has reduced its top price to $3.50

Tommy Paul, of Buffalo, some
what disfavored owner of the fea-
therweight title in the N. B. A.
domain, meets Fidel La Barba, Cal

come in over the weight, so Paul'S
title will not be at stake.
Max Rosenbloom, the playboy
light heavyweight, will fight Billy
Jones, Negro slugger from Phila-
delphia, who is well up in the N.
B. A. rating. Rosenbloom is still
considered the champion in New

URGES REPORT
BE ST TUD|ED

Urging that taxpayers and citi-
zens of Imperial county obtain
copies of the county financial and
statistical report for 1892 and
study it. Roy Shepard has ad-
dressed the following letter to The
Press, which has already carried
a notice that the report is avail
able free at the county purchas-
ing agents office in the court
house:
Editor, Imperial Valley Press,
Dear Sir:
desire to call attention of the
voters and taxpayers of Imperial
county to the pamphlet, financial
and statistical report of Imperial
county for 1892. 1t is available
free at the purchasing agent S
office in the court house.
This little booklet tells you how
your tax money is consumed.
Costs last year include: Central
Union high school, $153, ,740.43; ag-
ricultural commissioners office,
$28,918.48; county farm, $43, ,846.68;
sheriff's office, $7O,927.55; district
attorneys office, $34,938.88.
These are a few of the high
lights of this very interesting book
let. How can we ever have any
prosperity as long as such a large
percentage of our money is tied
up in extravagant taxation? In
stead of being able to take our
money to the merchants to buy the
necessities of life, which would
mean more business for merchants
end more comforts for the con-
sumer, we are required to take an
eXhorbitant amount to the court
house to pay for county govern
ment which refuses to reduce its
expenses even though the burden
to the taxpayer is unbearable.
We must have a big reduction
in taxation or the taxes cannot be
paid. Again ask each voter and
taxpayer to call at the purchasing
agents office and get a copy of
the report and read it carefully.

That the west also will present
a passing attack was apparent by
the many flips tossed by George

Sander, rated as one of the coasts
best passers his year, was in rare
form, placing his throws accurate
ly at 40 and so yards.

COACHES RAP
DISCHARGE

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-The ma
tion's football coaches have begun
4 campaign against the ruthless
"firing" of gridiron pilots, in an
attempt to stabilize the coaching
profession.
The American Football Coaches
association has pledged the most
strenuous fight since the associa-
tion's inception in 1921.
An undercurrent of dissatisfac-
ton with the indiscriminate dis
charging of coaches, which thread
ed through the two day meeting
of the association, famed into the
open in the closing minutes of the
final session and at last nights
brown derby banquet.
Amos Alonzo Stagg, 70, grand
old man of the gridiron", sounded
the battle cry at the banquet when
he declared the profession must be
stabilized to prevent coaches from
continuing to suffer unduly." He
recommended Campaign OF
common sense" which will be car
lied to colleges, to alumni, to the
public and to the press.
Dan McGugin of Vanderbilt un-
iversity, newly elected president
pledged the associations utmost
efforts to remedy the situation.
Chet Wynne of Alabama poly
technic institute brought t h c
problem into the open, after ii
had been discussed by huddler
groups for nearly two days, when
he launched a red-hot attack on
firing. Wynne assailed particu-
larly the practice of discharging
coaches in mid-season, sending a
man out to lead a squad in Sep
. tember and then firing him six
weeks later, without due provoca-
ton"
Stagg, recently retired" by Chi
cago university, after Al years OF
coaching there, SAID the "Win al
any cost" spirit, which has per-
meated colleges, was responsible
for non-stability in coaching. He
said the football teachers were
partly to blame.
Instead OF impressing upon stu
dents, college officials and alumni
that the coaches chief function is
the physical and moral develop
ment of young men, he charged
they have allowed everyone tc
judge their worth on the number
of games won and lost.

mo Man of Her Own, a whim-
sical story blending big city and
small town life together, is the at
traction tonight and tomorrow at
United Artists theatre, with Clark
Gable in the leading role.
The popular star Is cast as a
card sharp who lives by his wits,
heading a gang which fleeces veal
thy men. He is forced to hide out
and takes refuse in a small town
where he marries the village belle
when a flip of the coin decides
matters for him.
Returning with her to New York
he finds that he really loves her,
the information coming just about
the time the law closes in on him.
He bargains for a light sentence
and hides his time in Jail from his
wife by convincing her he has to
make a business trip to South AM
erica.
Although she learns the truth
while he is absent, she realizes
that she too is in love and accepts
his story of the South American
trip.
Carole Lombard is cast as the
girl and Dorothy Mackaill is the
woman member of the card sharp's
gang who lures the wealthy men
to the Fleeing.
Grant Mitchell, George Barber,
j. Farrell Macdonald, and others
are in the supporting cast.
The role assigned to Gable is
somewhat different from those he
has been seen in during recent pic
lures and gives the star a wide
range in acting ability.
Farmers of the Ely district of
Nevada are planning to increase

ROSE CONTEST
LACKS COLOR

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 20. U.P)-
The Universities of Southern Cali
fornia and Pittsburgh appeared to-
day to be lacking in that magnetic
team personality that in years past
has drawn near-capacity houses to
Pasadena Rose Bowl for the an
nual New Years day intersectional
football clash.
Only $4,000 tickets have been
sold to date, four days before the
game. Unless a sharp pickup in
sales occurs today and tomorrow,
IL was generally believed not
more than $1,000 cash customers
would be in the stands Monday
This would be $4,000 short of at
tendance figures of last year when
Southern California vanquished
Tulane and 10000 less than the
turnout in this years Southern
California-Notre Dame encounter
at Memorial stadium.
The dearth OF early ticket-buyers
is attributed more to lack of in
terest in the forthcoming battle
than any other single factor.
Tournament officials inaugurated
the ticket campaign by drastical-
ly reducing prices but the response
has been apathetic.
The undefeated Trojans ruled a
to l favorite to rout the eastern
ers in betting quotations today
Even money was accepted by some
commissioners with Pitt takers re-
ceiving II points. Bettors seemed
to be little concerned with COM
parative records of the two teams
which despite Pitts two ties and
the Trojans string of 10 consecu-
tive victories, clearly indicated the
Panthers' defensive strength ano
Southern CALIFORNIA; inauspicious
scoring charts. Troy's most i'm
pressive victory of the season was
over Utah with a $50 score where
as last year they touted Georgia
eleven 60 to O several weeks before
engaging Tulane in the Rose Bow
clash.
Teams In Good Shape
Southern California supporters
evidently were taking into consid-
Grafton largely the factor of Pitts
ignorminious defeat at the hands
Of the Trojans three years ago
AZ to IA.
Meanwhile, the two machines
were being tuned up to final de-
grees Of fitness.
At Tucson, Coach Jock Suther-
land was gradually tapering of
in his workouts which will be
wound up Saturday when the
Panthers entrain for Pasadena
With characteristic guinness, the
Pitt mentor was not sanguine in
his predictions.
IF the Panthers defeat the Tro-
JAMS" he said today, "they viii
have to depend on what they have
learned during the past week."
Pitt was scheduled for three more
sessions of signal drills and dunn
my practice before leaving fol
California. Sutherland said ht
would ease up day by day unit
he felt his charges were we'll or
edge.
The Trojans were to be worked
harder before Howard Jones eases
off. They were to engage in an
other strenuous workout today but
tomorrow Jones will begin slanting
off in his program.
Both teams physically were il
good shape.

COMMENT ON
SPORT WORLD
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

J
UNION POINT, Pa, Dec. 29.-
This little village, situated in the
Red Clay hills of Georgia, may not
be the most appropriate place on
earth to write about deep-sea
fishing, but that should not spoil
perfectly good page of notes.
The notes, scribbled on the back
of an advertisement extolling the
virtue of certain type of japanese
lure, were picked up at Key Largo,
Fla, fisherman'S paradise, in a
conversation with Mrs. Oliver C.
Grinnell of New York.
Mrs. Grinnell had just stepped
off the cruiser Hoo Hoo, following
a day of trolling in the gulf stream.
She stood on the pier, watching
officials of the national anglers
tournament weigh her days catch.
1t was the final day of the tour
nament. The Hoo Hoo was the
last boat to come in. And the last
fish weighed-a beautiful 74-pound
sail fish, caught by Mrs. Grinnell
gave her the championship. And
opposed to her during 10 days of
steady fishing, were the crack ang-
lers of the country.
Mrs. Grinnell took her triumph
| lightly, for during the years she
has been following the sea, first
place in tournaments has been hers
a dozen times.
This does not mean that she no
longer thrills to a strike. She'll
tell you that the three and half
hour struggle required to get the
big 74-pounder over the side, gave
her the same wallop it did years
ago.
Mrs. Grinnell's next expedition
will carry her to the waters near
Bimini, where she hopes to add
a seven or eight hundred pound
Marlin swordfish to her collection.
These babies battle seven to IL
hours. How Mrs. Grinell lands
them will remain a mystery, for
it's job that requires not only
delicate skill, but pure, old-fash-
ioned strength.
Husky Collapsed
Eddie Dooley, 2OO-pound All-Am-
erican back at Dartmouth not
long ago, all but collapsed after
pulling in 32-pound barracuda.
And our own arms still ache as
The result of a tremendous 10-min-
ute struggle with a 15-pound shark.
Yet Mrs. Grinnell, about so, and
weighing less than 140 pounds,
tights 7O0-pounder all day. And
catches him!
Mrs. Grinnell, among other
things, is the only woman ever to
catch Broadbill swordfish in
the Atlantic ocean. The one she
landed was little fellow, weigh
ing only 264 pounds, barefooted
She and her husband were the first
folks to land a swordfish on what
is now known as light swordfish
tackle. This tackle is "a thread
instead of the usual 80. This is
the sort of tacgle-it looks like the
stuff you use for five-pound spec
kled trout-that Mrs. Grinnell will
use against the swordfish off BIZ
mini
Mrs. Grinnell has had only one
line broken. She never has broken
rod. This is little short of mir
aculous when you remember that
the sort of rod she useS-10 ounce
tip, 90 reel-is so slender and
Wjllowly a mature goldfish could
bend it double by only half trying.
