SALVATION ARMY
WORK PRAISED
BY COMMITTEE

Yesterday the local headquarters
of the Salvation Army served 420
meals to men and women who 9TH
erwise would go hungry, according
to Captain j. w. Myall, who is ask
ing the people of Ell Centro to help
the Army continue this sort of work
by generous response to the cam
paign for funds which is now un-
derway here.
From January 1, 1881, until De-
cember 81, the Army served 21,214
meals, supplied beds for 5879 per-
sons, gave away $3.50 garments and
678 pairs of shoes.
At Thanksgiving and Christmas
time the Army gave baskets of food
to 343 families, totaling 1915 per-
sons, distributed 500 toys to chill
dren, helped $50 Jail prisoners and
helped a total of 1000 persons.
Other activities of the Army will
be related during the course of the
campaign.
Contributions to the campaign
may be sent either to Army head
quarters at Sixth and Broadway or
to Fred j. Gianola of the Bank Of
America, treasurer of the Armys
advisory board
In commenting on the activities
of the Army and the work it has
done in Ell Centro, W. w. McEuen,
chairman of the central relief COM
mittee, today issued the following
letter:
The Salvation Army is now en-
gagged in its annual drive for funds.
The central relief committee is glad
to say that the Army has cooperated
in fine fashion in the relief pro-
gram of the community. The spe-
cial job of feeding and sleeping
transient single men carried on by
them has been done in a most eff
cient manner. Their local relief
program has also been we'll admin
istered.
AS previously stated, the admin
istration of relief work has been
largely through the Salvation A.
my and Red Cross as the best quail
flied organizations for the purpose.
Wlltll UIlC ILCo SlOoo "oD PSts
on in November, some gioups made
a donation of one days pay for re-
lief and asked that the money be
divided between the Red Cross and
the Salvation Army. In most cases
the percentage of division was des-
ignated. Most of the individuals
and groups, however, made only a
donation for the Red Cross at that
time. There may, therefore, be
some overlapping of solicitation, but
if donations for the Army have pre-
viously been made, an explanation
of this fact will be sufficient.
Certainly the Salvation Army
must have additional funds to carry
on its necessary activities, and any
one who has given less than full
days pay for relief has not done
his part to meet the emergency.
Many people have, like the en-

Wood Sets New
Racing Record

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Feb. 5. U.H
Gar Wood, driving the speedboat
Miss America TX set a new worlds
record today.
The veteran Detroit speed boat
pilot negotiated the Indian creek
course at an average speed Of ILL.,
7l2 miles per hour on two runs in
opposite directions.
His speed bettered by more than
a mile the record of 1929 miles
per hour set by Kaye Don of Eng
land in Italy last year.
Wood had set new American
record of 110.73 miles per hour
here a few days ago, but the mark
was not recognized as a world rec
ord because it did not surpass by
a sufficient margin Don's record.
He said then he was satisfied his
Miss American TX was good for a
mile or two an hour better speed
and would continue trials until he
got it out of her.
Woods first run today, south
bound, was at the fastest speed he
has ever attained-112 434 miles per
hour. His elapsed time for the
nautical miles was 36.37 seconds.

SUBSTITUTE TO
MEET SCHAAF IN
NEW YORK RING

NEW YORK, Feb. 5. W.P)- Paul
inc Uzcudun, the shell slugger
from San Sebastian, took his II
gold teeth from the safe today and
stuck them in his mouth.
The molars had been on a three
weeks vacation, while the Basque
heavyweight was training for his
scheduled 15-round bout with Ernie
Schaaf at Madison Square Garden
tonight. But Pauline is not fight
ing tonight.
The former wood chopping cham
pion of Europe is 80 and never has
been knocked out or even floored
in his long ring career. But, the
old body amt what she used to be
because one of his barrel slaves
gave way during training. The
broken rib forced the Garden to
substitute another heavyweight.
Scar Faced Salvatore Ruggirello
who eight years ago started boxing
under an Algerian moon for enter
tainment of French Legionnaires,
will substitute for Pauline tonight
against Schaaf, Americas fourth
ranking heavy. It's his opportuni-
ty OF a lifetime.
The smooth boxing Schaaf is q
2 to / favorite. He will weigh about
2l0 pounds against the Italians
205. But Salvatore has a inch
height advantage and the longer
reach, Moreover, his straight right
has the kick of an Algerian ostrich;
recently demonstrated when he
dropped Walter Cobb in one round
and when he stopped Stanley Por-
eda in seven.

SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
IN T0DAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent


LAKE PLACID, N. Y, Feb. S.
Mister Webster could do a whole
lot worse with one of his thrills
that come once in life time than
to depict young Jack Shea doing
just what he did yesterday opening
the third Olympic Winter Games.
For taken all in all, by and large,
up and down, ne just about went
out and gathered himself the big
gest thrill he'll ever get, even if he
lives to see the day that Fanny
Ward breaks down and confessess
she's 40.
When Jack skated out on the ice
yesterday for the 500-meter speed
spin final there were gathered in
the stands a thousand folks who
had known him since he wore long
dresses.
Pitted against him, and favored
to leave him a couple of country
blocks behind was Bernt Evensen,
mighty Norwegian and champion
of the world. The race was the
first event of the Olympic compe-
tition and each of II nations was
hoping to send its flag on the first
trip up the mast head.
The gun cracked and they were
Off A split second later Jack was
out in front. He was out in front
and going away when he crossed
the blue finish line.
What does a guy think about
when he gains such moment of
grandeur? I don't know, for the
the nearest I ever came to being
q hero and a corpse, too, for that
matter-was when I held a six inch
firecracker in my hand and let her
explode.
But Jack knows so let's let him
tell. Tell 'em Jack, just like you
told me.
well, I'll tell you, if I hadn't
won I don't know what would have
happened. There was mama and
papa, so excited they just about
died when we lined up. And there
was me, so excited I was about to
die along with them. Don't think
I was afraid, cause 1 wasn't. But
all last night I couldn't sleep for
thinking about how I just had to
win so the American flag could get
up that pole first.
You know, I've skated in lots OF
races and won a lot of champion
ships but this Olympic stuff is diff
ferent. Today, when they played
the Star Spangled Banner and
walked around that track with the
flag right in front of me, forgot
all about everything but America
That may sound kinda silly, but
I'm telling you it gets you-that
song and the flag. I'll never forget
the way l 'felt when I was about
10 yards from the finish and knew
was going to win. I started look
ing then to see if the flag was 60
ing up. 1 like the kind of race
where you get out in front of a
bunch of fast skaters and have tC
60 like hell to stay there

CENTRAL UNION
TEAMS READY TO
REPEL INVADERS

Scoring probably will be fast and
heavy when three sets of basket
ball teams take the floor in the Ell
Centro high school gymnasium,
starting at 7 o'clock tonight, with
a pennant and second place at
stake in two high school games,
and the local Junior college five
determined to reverse a former
defeat.
Perhaps the most important con-
test will be that between the class
&C" teams from Ell Centro and
Brawley high schools, for this
game will decide the championship
Of Imperial Valley in that division.
Second place will be decided by
the class "a" high school game,
also between Ell Centro and Braw-
ley. Neither team has chance at
first place, since Calexico is firmly
enthroned on top of the heap.
The Ell Centro Junior college
team will attempt, by a strong Of
fensive, to reverse four-point de-
feat at the hands of March field
airport team which was scheduled
to arrive at the county airport to-
day in bombing planes.
Scoring should be frequent in
every contest, for each team on the
schedule specializes in offense
rather than defense. Rivalry is
especially intense between the high
school teams.
The junior college team here
held heavy practive session
Wednesday night with the Ma
rooms of the city league, showing
up unusually we'll in a passing at
tack.
A junior college lineup shift,
which will place Port at center in
stead of forward, and Bryan Will
loughby at forward, is expected to
strengthen the team considerably.
Coach Armstrong of the Ell
Centre high school was pessimistic
today, seeing the only NY Of hope
in the fact his teams are playing
in their own back yard. Edgar,
Price and Fisher will be playing
their last basketball game for Ell
Centre. Cunningham and Wood
, son, substitutes, also will appear
for the last time.

OLYMPIC GAMES
NOW HAMPERED
BY HEAVY SNOW
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

LAKE PLACID, N. Y, Feb. s.
It's long lane that has no turn
ing, SO officials of the third winter
Olympic Games-the same officials,
mind you, who a few days ago were
bemoaning the lack of Wintry
weather-today were looking toward
the heavens and wondering when
it would stop showing.
For more than IL hours it
showed without a let up. The min
iature blizzard set in late yester-
day. Should it continue, the dis
tance skating events scheduled for
the second day of the winter games
will be very cumbersome to handle.
Big awkward machines, known as
power sWeepers, resembling steam
rollers with a weeks growth of
beard on the roller part, moved
slowly around the stadium track
today, removing snow in prepara-
ton for the 1900 and 0,000-meter
races. Just as fast as the sweepers
swept, new snow fell.
Snow, however, was not the only
topic of discussion in this little
mountain village today There was
plenty of talk about Americas sur
prising showing yesterday in win
ming both the 500 and 5,000-meter
runs.
Jack Shea's victory in the 500
meter was surprising, but nothing
compared to the surprise OCCASION
ed by Irving Jaffee's triumph over
the Norwegian stars, Ivar Ballan-
grud and Brent Evensen, in the
longer race. But Jaffee, the boy
who built up his muscles as a run
ner for he New York Curb ex-
change, accomplished the feat. So
today America had displaced the
men from the Land of the Mid
night Sun as favorites.
Only one final is scheduled for
today - t he 1900 meter event.
Qualifiers in the 10,000-meter jaunt
will be picked today, but the final
will not be run until tomorrow.
