ZUPPKE SEEKS
MICHIGAN WIN

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-He sat
there last Saturday in the melan'
choly of an autumn afternoon,
watching Michigan roll up an in
credible 2s-to-0 score over old Chi
cago. For all the world like an
unhort 4 Napoleon, was the fiery
eyed Bob zuppke, the dynamo If
the Illini.
Easily the most interested
spectator at that game, the Illini
coach was wondering if by some
phenomenon he could move
heaven and earth and accomplish
what no other coach has been
able to do this seaSon-beat
Michigan.
If you don't know Bob Iuppke,
you might say that Illinois has
about as much chance of beating
Michigan next Satur day as one
would have in pursuading Gandhi
to wear an overcoat. Chicago
didn't have a chance. But Illinois
will have a chance. It will be no
les than the cunning of Bob
zuppke.

WOMAN STAR
HOLDS l23
P|NPACE
By GINO SINH


When Lorraine Gulli skaters
duckpin records she does it by
such wide margins that there
can be no doubt about them,
and she does her record shooting
under strict championship con-
ditions, too.
Sunday GULL and Ollie Pacini
dourneyed to Baltimore ostensibly
to conclude an intercity mixed
doubles match with Ray Won
Dreele and Mabel Conroy, but
the two Capital stars picked up
such a lopsided lead in the first
block that the only interest at
stake was the two Washing
tonians' chance of establishing
several duckpin marks.
They did and how.
The National Duckpin Bowling
Congress wasted little or no time
squiggling its signature George
L. Isemann'S on an affidavit
o. kaying them. The okay came
late yesterday.
By adding a 1922 to their first
hlock, 1927, for a 2,449 total,
Pacini and GULL topped the old
lO-game mixed doubles mark, set
by Violet Holmes and Hap Franz,
of Baltimore, in May, 1882, by
exactly ST pins.
GULL Steals Show
But it was CULTS performance
that stole the show.
After pounding out a new five
game women's world record, with
a 637 set in the first block,
which no one realized to be a
mark at the time, Lorraine
added a 598 to it in the final
block for 1925, which betters
the old standard held by Helen
Randlett, of Richmond, by S6
pins!
It is also the first time on
record that a woman has aver
aged over 100 for 10 games IN
championship competition, and is
the more remarkable because
the two sets were rolled nearly
a month apart on two different
sets of alleys located in differ
ent cities and under pressure.
Also Top 3.Game Mark
GULL and Pacini also bettered
the mixed doubles three-game
mark for their first three games
of the opening block when they
hitched up 276, 258 and 24O for
a TIA, two pins higher than the
mark now in the books accredit-
ed to Rose Quinn and Howard
Furlong, of Hartford, Conn.,,
whi h brought them the national
mixed doubles title last year.
The N. D. P. B. c. has yet to
act on the mark.
Here's the figures on the rec
ord-shattering match:

extreme professional candor.
The man, in fact, uses the direct
appeal, featuring rugged honesty
Whether it arrives or doesn't. this
undoubtedly is the strongest Of
all physical collections that ever
crossed a continent in one ship
ment. It's bigger than the ma
tional debt. It's faster than a
short count. It may go wrong,
but it shouldn't. It's liable to give
Fordham a beating to end all
beatings here on Saturday.
This, If true, will come as
great shock to the boys on Park
Row, who, having seen Fordnam
win from Alabama by a safety,
are now convinced that they are
standing in the presence Of great
ness and have, therefore, taken to
calling it the wonder team" and
are all for playing Michigan-juSt
for the novelty, no doubt-on their
way to the Rose Bowl. The boys
are impulsive and sometimes they
get singular impressions which
come to them in the dead Of
night when their resistance is low.
Must Beat Hefty Team
Fordham's destiny may lead it
through an undefeated season and
up to the Rose Bowl, but first, for
me. it must beat a team that
averages 21412 pounds up there
ahead of the ball and ought to be
absolutely right this time. if only
on the basis Of percentage. 1t has
been pretty wrong so far.
Early in the season it lost to
California by IA to 13. But that,
it seems, was a coach'S mistake.
He removed his regulars too soon.
after getting a 13-to-0 lead. A
little later it lost to U. S. c., ID
to 7, and this time the mistake
was a substitutes. He talked too
soon, and the penalty set up the
pay-ball for U. S. C.'S winning
touchdown.
So, except for these monumen-
tai incidents, it might be an un:
beaten instead of a slightly dis
countenanced team that is coming
to town tomorrow but, either
way, it can't be fundamentally
worse than a very good team.
Briefly it should have been great
but, in missing greatness, became
strangely unimpresSive. This is
so strange, in fact, that they are
beginning to say that it can't
last.
Wilson Great Back
Personally, I don't see how it
can. This man Wilson, 100
pounds and, when under way,
very rapid. is said to be one of
two great backs in the far West.
DodSon, the fullback, is 200
pounds and they call him "Dyna-
mite" probably because he is kind

ner in football clothes west of the
tCOCk16S.
Up ahead Of the ball, they have
the Canrinus brothers at the two
ends, weighing 1870 and 200
pounds. One of the tackles is
Yezerski, 242 pounds, and one of
the guards is Gilbert, who will do
238 pounds on the scales and
about II seconds on the watch,
just couple of growing boys who
need to be nourished. The other
first-flight forwards are Yates,
202, and Jorgensen and Elduyon,
210 each.
The quarterback is Ahern and,
frankly, don't see how they can
stand having the fellow about.
He's one of those insipid 1eO'

URGES SLASH
IN VALUATION
State Official Tells Supervisors
Reduction Will Come If Ad
Valorem Tax Adopted.

That assessed valuations in Im-
perial county could be reduced
consistently approximately 10 per
cent. and that this reduction prob
ably will be necessary if the state
adopts an ad valorem tax, was the
statement before the board of SUI
pervisors this morning of Ed Kay
member of the state board of
equalization. and advisor to asses
sors of the state.
Frank Weir, Imperial county as
SCISSOR, was with Kay during the
latters discussion with the board
of supervisors, and assented to the
state officials assertion.
Unless the Riley plan Of taxa
ton is adopted, an ad valorem
tax probably will be necessary, Kay
declored, in which case officials
may arrange consistent valuation
throughout the state of approxi-
mately As per cent. Since Imperial
county's valuation at present is
approximately 81 per cent, some re-
duction would be necessary here.
Kay further declared that an ad
valorem tax would result in tax
alton of public utilities on the
same basis as other property.
After listening to Kays discus
sion of tax problems, the super
visors turned to a consideration of
other business. Paramount in i'm
portance were relief measures, in
Guiding immediate relief to more
than 300 families in the Calipatria
district, stranded there after NOV
ing in for the pea picking season
At the request of growers, the
supervisors adopted resolution au-
thorizing distribution by the coun-
ty of food to these families from
county stores, to be distributed by
the county food relief committee.
The growers agreed to reimburse
the county from wages of the pick
ers, when they are put to work.
With Walter D. Carey, county
auditor, and Margaret Watkins,
state welfare worker, the supervis-
ors then turned to the task of
working out details of distribution
and use of funds secured by an r.
F. G. loan to Imperial county.
Technical details surrounding dis
tribution of work and supervision
of funds were worked out.

Death removed one of the most
colorful figures in the development
of Imperial Valley last night when
long and severe illness proved
fatal to David Laurie Russell,
known to every pioneer resident of
this section as 'Scotty" Russell.
The end came in st. Vincent'S
hospital where he had been a pa
teitn for several weeks. An oper-
alton performed last week was be-
lieved to have improved his con-
dition, but the ordeal proved too
severe, and "Scotty's" wish, ex-
pressed in letters to friends here
last week, that he might return to
the valley to recuperate, was not
to be realized.
From the time of c. R. Rock
woods first survey, in 1893, until
mis- death, "Scotty" played a lead
ing part in the valleys history,
though in recent years he had
made his home for the greater part
of the time in Los Angeles. FIRE.

touch with developments and with
numerous old acquaintance.
