help to a girl who is going in
for basketball and wants to be a
forward. The idea in that game
is to get the ball" Girls should
remember that points decide who
wins or loses, that you score points
only with the ball and that if you
have the ball the other side can't
be scoring with it and you can.
Get that ball.
1t was late in the winter OF
1880 when our Beaumont team
was playing in Houston that Col.
M. j. McCombS, Of Dallas, hap
pened to drop around and he saw
me playing forward. and I had
an extra good night and after the
game the colonel asked me if 1
would like to go to Dallas and
work for his insurance concern
and play on his basketball team,
the Golden Cyclones, and I said
fine, because the colonel also said
that he would coach me and ar
range it for me to get into the
Southern Association of the ANA
teur Athletic Union. and in this
way 1 could go in for all the
championships I cared to at the
next A. A. U. meet for girls.
Turned Loose on Track
So I went to Dallas and started
to work for the insurance COM
pany after the 1880 school term
had finished and I was with the
Golden Cyclones during the 1930-31
season. and we had a great year.
We won the Dallas city title, the
county title, the Texas title, the
Southern title. and finished up by
winning the national champion
ship.
The colonel let me loose for
the track and field events of
the 1880 season and I rung up
record for the shot put, the
javelin, the baseball throw, the
running broad jump and the high
jump but I did not go in for
any running. The colonel thought
it best for me to wait until the
next year before ! took a whack
at those things.
Only once during my entire
athletic career have been
forced to admit that I was a
little bit tired. That was during
the National A. A. U. meet for
girls this summer. I went there
representing Dallas and 1 entered
in each of the eight events.
was the Dallas "one woman
track and field team" That
meant 1 had to go up against
teams of from 6 to 18 girls from
all other cities and try, all by my
self. to win more titles, and
more points than anybody else.
Sweeps Meet By Self
Well, won six championships
of the eight, and hung up six
new records for all six events.
I chucked the cnance at the
other two because, as 1 said, I
was a little leg weary. In one
day I had to run eight heats, in
addition to qualifying in all the
field events, and when the next
day arrived and I was called upon
to do almost the same amount
of work, I thought, what is the
use of trying to grab all the titles,
six will be enough for Dallas and
for me, and I withdrew from the
other two.
I wanted to compete in each
of the Olympic events for women,
but my coach limited me to three.
That was my bad luck. Those
contests were stretched out over
almost a complete week - not
jammed into two days, like the
A. A. U. meet-and I know
could have been in okay shape
for each and every one, owing to
the long rest between the differ
ent contests.

OF $4500, while together they asked
$500 for medical expenses and $50
for damage to their car.
The plaintiffs in this suit were

defendants. Ogier was named in
the complaint as driver of the milk

Judge Bailey took the situation
in and asked the prisoner what
he wished to do about it.
Anderson entered a plea of
guilty. "I'u sentence you to 80
days in the county jan and send
the commitment down tomorrow,
Judge Bailey said, and drove on to
Brawley before Keating could turn

FORMER MUTUAL
WATER LEADER
FAVORS CANAL

Apt comments upon the All-Am-
erian Canal contract are contained
in a recent letter from Arthur
Taylor, former superintendent of
Water company No. 8, and men,
Der of the American Society of Civil
Engineers, to Charles L. Childers,
chief counsel of the Imperial Irri-
CATION district.
Taylor said in the letter that he
had come out unequivocally for
the All-American Canal contract
and explains that the Colorado
river has been life long study
with him. He expresses the opin-
ion that the contract is a most
fair proposition for the Imperial
Coachella district and is the only
real solution for Imperila Valleys
future. He said he made a study
of silt removal costs and that the
district is very conservative in es-
timating the annual cost at 81 ,400,-
900.
He asks why the American-side
rancher should wish to foot bills
at half what it costs the district
rancher.
Taylor said his disposition today
would be better If he had not gone
through several summers in the
valley when there was a water
shortage. AS engineer and superin-
tendent his life was threatened
more than once when there was a
water shortage, he said, he was
offered bribes and his heart sad
dened by the ranchers, who must
have water for crops and there was
not sufficient to meet the demands.
He said if Imperial Valley resi-
dents knew Secretary Wilbur and
State Engineer Hyatt as he does,
they would realize they would be
nothing but fair and square and
would follow them in approving the
| contract.

JUNIOR CHAMBER
FINAL HOST TO
GOVERNOR ROLPH

Gov James Rolph, jr., this morn
ing gave to members of the El
Centro Junior Chamber of Com
merce and their guests the formula
which has won for him the name
of Sunny jim" His formula was:
"You can't be a cold-blooded guy,
quarreling and fighting all the
time. You only live once, and life's
too short, anyhow"
Governor Rolphs speech before
the junior chamber was one of
hope for the future of Imperial
Valley and California. The states
first citizen cited the phenomenal
development of California since the
beginning of the century, and Of
fered proof, in the projects now

Build up your town and encourage
people to come here"
Touching briefly on development
of California in general and I'M
perial Valley in particular, the

cannot increase in value without
a guarantee of sufficient water, he
said, and water development is
necessary to the future of the state.

by R. D. McPherrin as California'S
most confirmed optimist. Clarence
Smith, president of the Ell Centro
Junior Chamber of Commerce, well
coined the governor on behalf of

company and piloted by Capt.
Roscoe Turner was boarded
The pilot headed the plane to-
ward Ell Centre, circled the city
once in salute, and returning to

LAKE PLACID, N. Y, Feb. 10
Four and thirty one-hundredths
seconds-a very short time to the
man in the drugstore but half a
lifetime to bobsledder racing
against a stopwatch-may block
Americas hope for victory in the
two-man bobsled event of the third
Olympic winter games.
The precious four and thirty hun
dredths seconds belonged to Reto
Cappadrut, 20-year-old Swiss youth
and pilot of the Switzerland II" !"
He held the advantage over the
crack American team of Hubert
Stevens and Arthur Adams, when
the bobbers assembled Mt. Van Hoe
venberg run today for the second
and deciding half of the two-man
competition. "
Cappadrut gained his advantage
by making two trips down the mile
and half run yesterday in the
time of 4:13:08. Stevens, despite
the fact that the second of his two
runs was made in 2:04:27 for the
new worlds mark, made a total
time of 4:17:37.
But today Cappadrut is sched-
uled for the second run down the
ice.
That means the Swiss must blaze
a trail through the early morning
ice for the others. This is just
what Sevens did yesterday, and it
was his first heat-run in the slow
time Of 2:43 :10-that cost him the
four seconds.
Cappadrut was the next to last sled
down in the first heat yesterday
and found the track tightening
fast. He came down in 2:O5 :88
bettering Stevens old mark of
2:08:00 by almost four seconds.
Officials have arranged for sew
eral ambulances to be parked neal
the track today, fearing that Cap.
padrut and Stevens, in an effort
to cut down the distance, will lano
among boulders and trees.
Skaters Shine
While the tWo-man bob cham
pionship is being determined some
81 athletes of half a dozen or more
nations will be racing for the 49,
kilometer ski-running champion
ship.
Hans Venjarengen of Norway
veteran of two previous Olympics
is expected to stride to a decisive
victory. The ski-run will start and
finish in the stadium.
Two hockey exhibitions are sched-
uled, Canada meeting a Lake Placid
team in an exhibition game, and
the United States taking on Ger
many in genuine tiff.
Canada has a perfect record of
five wins and no defeats, while the
U. S. Sextet has won three and
lost one.
1.-the dark-haired Carl Schaefer
of Austria was recognized today as
the cleverest man in the world on
skates. The youthful Austrian, who
looks like a movie-actor, held the
two titles, which made him Su-
preme in figure skating; the Olym-
pic championship, which was be-
slowed upon him last night, and
the worlds championship, which
he won last year at Paris.
The veteran Gillis Grafstrom of
Sweden, was proclaimed second.
Montgomery Wilson of Canada
took third; Marcus Kikkanen of
Finland fourth; Ernst Baier, Ger
many, fifth, and Roger Turner of
United States, sixth. Two other
American entrants, James Madden
and Gail Borden, finished seventh
and eighth.

How does it feel to climb to the
top of Mt. Van Hoevenberg, pull a
football helmet over your head
and heavy goggles over your eyes,
sit down on a bobsled behind the
worlds most reckless driver, take
one look at the twisting ice trail
that drops to nowhere, and shove

one piece. How we'll I remember
the experts taking one look at our
strangely designed sled and telling
us we'd never reach the bottom
of Mt. Van Hovenberg run alive,
AS we showed off Reto turned to
the experts and said:
" No? Well watch us give it a

is. Even when we took home 10
feet of ice and snow off the crest

that Reto, if necessary, would ride
right on down the rim of the
chute. No, that's not impossible
Not for Reto. I wouldn't be sur
prised if one of these days he
jumped the track and kept right
on going through the pine trees
Missing N1em, of course"
What would Reto do, if at the
end of the third heat of the two
man boblet competition today, he
found himself behind and faced
with the necessity of making rec

"You know as well as I do what
Reto would do. He would strive tc
