Oklahoma was expected in Ell Cen
tro today, following receipt OF word

Imperial and San Diego counties
before the August 80 primary cleo
ton, Utley said.

When Buster Brown meets
Stumpy Jacobs Tuesday night at
Portner's Arena, local boxing fans
are in for a slugging match such
as has never been seen in these
parts.
Buster, from Max Waxman's s
stable, was groomed for two IT,
ties. He was trained for the
featherweight crown and the
lightweight title.
His first chance came against
Andre Routis, former feather
weight champion of the world.
Buster failed against Routis, but
it was a great battle and one
which many close to boxing figure
was Routis' downgrade battle.
Against Jackie Kid Berg, Bus
ter looked like a champion. He
had Berg down for three and
when the judges rendered the

GAINS
TIE FOR LEAD
IN SERIES

The inter-high school series
basketball race is all tied up by
virtue of yesterdays results at
the Tech gymnasium. That is, a
deadlock for first place exists in
that Tech and Eastern now share
that position.
Eastern, in second place before
yesterday, came to even terms by
defeating Western, 35 to IA in a
lop-sided encounter while Tech
idled as far as the series was
concerned. The other game, part
of the usual double-header always
played, found Central disposing
of Business by score of As
to 25.
Outside of the fact that
Eastern gained the tie with Tech
it set out to do. there was moth
ing exciting about the games
yesterday. Somehow the punch
and color was missing, also the
usual large crowd.
Eastern Wins Easily
This latter was probably the
most important item in the lack
of interest, color, punch, or what
have-you, in the afternoons pro-
gram.
Eastern had little difficulty in
scoring it's victory over Western.
The Georgetowners were off to a
bad start from the outset and
after it was all over they
realized that they had dropped
their sixth straight game since
the beginning of the series.
AL Waters, in the game primar,
lily to take the injured Ben Zola's
place, made an able substitute by
leading Eastern in that teams
scoring. AL was all over the floor
to score seven baskets and two
foul shots for 16 points.
The Central-Business setto found
Central on the short end Of the
count during the first half. But
after the intermiSSion the defense
OF the Stenogs cracked somehow
and Central ran away with one OF
the easiest triumphS in the series.
Central was without Bill Burke,
star forward, but his place was
filled very we'll by Jack Moulton,
former Forest Park High per
former. Moulton handled the ball
commercially and kept,a keen eye
open for the baskets-scoring
seven field goals and four fouls
for 18 points.

Olympics with its ever-present
death-dealing potentialities. the
ice skaters are beginning to come

Isl every reason to believe that
young Jack Shea, a local boy who
made good. will be the first across
the line.
His father is the owner OF a
Main Street butcher store and all
Lake Placid has rallied behind the
young Dartmouth sophomore. A
diffident, almost shy lad, he is
one of the most popular OF the
entrants and a big favorite in the
500-meter race.
His chances are somewhat ham,
pered by the fact that he meets
| Frank Stack the Canadian cham
lpion. in the first heat. but Lake
Placid is sure that it's favorite will
get to the finals without any
trouble. There he will encounter

European title-holder, barring his
way to an Olympic title.

Her First Glimpse

She had never seen him
fight; she couldn't have-she
was that young. Not even in his
last 20 fights when he needed
q. guardian more than a ring
second. But we couldn't help
thinking how. among the ring
gentry, everybody is on his
heels and generally out of step,
except the one doing the pam
ming.
He could never see how he
looked up there in the ring IN
those last futile fights of his. He
was too close to the picture.
But ten or twelve rows back
and with another fighter in
there the picture became vivid,
even to his shattered. warped
view.
The only thing he didn't say
about poor Marty was that the
Foggy Bottom boy was still IN
a fog, but that was probably
because he didn't think of it.
Just an incident, but it ought
to be a lesson to Gallagher and
Others who stick to the ring too
long. seemingly finding it inn
possible to turn their backs on
It until it is too late!

SMILE At
DANGER
By QUENTIN REYNOLDS


LAKE PLACID, N. Y Feb. 3.
Who will it be today?" the bob.
sled riders asked gaily this morn
ing.
Men with ice water in their
veins and eyes that laugh at
death continue to scream down
the sheer slope of Mt. Vanhoven-
berg.
A year ago Mt. Vanhovenberg
reared its rocky head above the
surrounding country.
Alone, majestic and forbidding
it stood in grim dignity.
But they sent tractors up the
mountain and they poured dyna.
mite into the rocks. Soon a rib
bon was beginning to thread its
way down the almost precipitous
slope. The Olympic bobrun was
being built.
When completed, the designer,
Stanislaus ZentZytzki. of Berlin.
said it was his masterpiece It
would be fast. safe and full Of in
tereSting turns.
But he didn't know that a ink
lived in that mountain.
Jinx Offended
Offended apparently t this In.
vasion of man. the mountain has
taken it's grim revenge. Not a
day passes that is free from &C.
cident.
. Bobsleds manned by the worlds
greatest drivers SWerve unacCour1t-
ably at the turns 20 throw the
occupants off the course and into
masses of rocks and tree stumpS
that are deceptively covered with
light layer of snow.
Yesterday it was the German
team led by Capt. Fritz Grau.
which ell a victim to the jlnx
and toda. Grau is lying in the
Lake Placid Hospital, faint with
the pain of broken shoulder,
a fractured hip, conclusion of the
brain and a thousand soaring
cuts.
The sled jumped the bank at
Shady Corner and hurled itself
down the S.ope. scattering the
four riders against ro> Ks and
trees. All were unconscious
when picked up and now all are
in the hospital.
Two near accidents yesterday
followed the German misfortune
but there we're no casualties. The
Belgian four-man sled overturned
while half way down the course
spilling the four BelgianS.
Sled Completes Trip.
No one was injured but the ca
pricious sled continued to ride
down the run righting itself and
taking the turns perfectly. The
riders all agreed that this was a
vindication of the bobrun and
that faulty driving was the cause
of most of the accidents to date.
Reto Capadrutt, the young
Swiss driver, narrowly escaped
death yesterday when the sled
he was driving shot high up on
the Shady Corner bank only to
settle back just as Mortified spec
tators were sure it was going the
way that Grau's sled had an hour
before.
"WhO will it be tOday?"
Every one seems to be con,
cerned but the riders them
selves. But the riders have no
nerves and they think fear is the
mark of weakling. Their eyes
are as cold as the Ice they travel
over and even the injured Ger
mans who lay on torture wracked
beds in the hospital only rail at
the fate which is keeping them
from further competition, instead
of expressing their thanks to be
