IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
A FLORIDA MIRACLE

MIRACLE of miracles!
IVA That is the only adequate descrip-
ton of what has happened in Palm
Beach, Florida.
The board of governors of the Palm
Beach Taxpayers association has adopt
ed a resolution asking that construction
of new post office be deferred, because
of the present need for economy in ma
tional, state and local governments.
For any community organization to
take such action is unheard of in all the
annals of the nation, or at least if it
has happened before, none can recall it.
Many and many are the reams of pa
per required to contain the resolutions
that have been passed urging construc-
ton of federal buildings in all parts of
the country. 1t is one of the most pop
ular forms of activity for civic organi-
zations The Palm Beach action is un-
ique.
1t is so unusual as to cause us to cast
grave doubts upon the sincerity of the
Palm Beach organization. Being Cali
fornian, we cannot help but look upon
it with suspicion. Is it just another
Florida bid to bask in the spotlight of
national publicity? Are the Floridans
trying to make the rest of us believe
theirs is such an Eden-like existence that
the matter of new post office is not
Of paramount Importance to them?
Supposing, just supposing, that it is
sincere. And supposing further, that ev-
cry community in the country should
adopt similar course regarding federal
appropriations. There would probably
be no talk of a federal deficit and per-
haps even taxes might be lowered.
Whatever the motive at Palm Beach
it must be conceded that the case is
nothing short of miraculous.
That chuckling heard is probably COM
ing from w. j. B. on the other side of
the Styx as he listens to this plea for
silver.
The states motor vehicle registration
shows a decrease. So we are getting on
our feet after ALL
Los Angeles prayed for rain and is
getting little more than it prayed for.
The Grange would recall Governor
Rolph. Well, even an attempt to do so
will give us little excitement. Sunny
jim is good politician.

touchdown. Harry Costello
AS the Colonials failed in that
last try at Tulsa's line, the whole
aspect of the football game
changed. Tulsa, which had been
on the defensive, went into the
ascendancy. The final score, 10
to 6 in favor of the visiting
Golden Hurricane, really does not
tell the tale of Tulsa's superiority.
The Oklahomans were about two
touchdowns better than G. w"
possibly three.
Inches From Goal
When the final whistle blew
ending the game, Tulsa was
inches from its third touchdown
Following their goal-line stand,
when they took the ball from
G. w on downs, inches from a
touchdown, the visiting Oilers
settled down to the task at hand.
Early in the second quarter, fol-
lowing an exchange OF punts,
Tulsa started a march from its
own 46-yard line. On a spread"
the cleverest back on the field,
Berry, scampered to G.. WIS AZ
yard stripe.
Berry next swept left end to
G. WIS 33-yard marker. Berry
cracked through G. WIS weak
right guard on a quick-opening
play. Only Is yards remained
for a touchdown. Dennis, an
other star backfield performer
for Tulsa, ripped off three yards
through right guard. Berry got
two more at right tackle. Green
got seven at G. WIS right guard.
Volok, on a reverse, got four at
right tackle. Dennis added
yard and then got two feet.
Dennis slammed through G.
w s right guard for the touch
down.
Puts Game on Ice
Early in the third quarter Tulsa
put the game on ice. Again the
Golden Hurricane blew 50 yards
to a touchdown, from it's own 40
yard marker. Berry and Dennis
contrived to gain the ground on
a series of spinners, reverses and
fake reverses. Tulsa had the
drive every step of the way.
Dennis added the extra point by
a placement kick.
G. w. Travelled 16 yards to a
touchdown in the fourth quarter.
The Colonials blocked Tulsa
punt and Morrison fell on the
ball for G w. at Tulsa's 16-yard
stripe. On a drive back at the
weak side, Leemans gained about
six yards. Then a meat reverse
aimed at Tulsa's right end. gave

TEAM
WINS EASILY

Speaking Of closings, Eastern
rang down the curtain on its
1888 football year yesterday by
defeating Gonzaga Prep in a IS
to 0 game at Eastern.
The Lincoln Parkers completely
outclassed their Purple opponents,
not to mention the fact that they
proved to be the heavier team in
every sense of the word.
Joe Mills and Joe Keegin were
the Guyon stars. Both scored
timely touchdowns, while Keegin
pulled off two runs of 40 yards
each that easily developed as the
feature bits of the game. One Of
these gallops resulted in touch
down, while the other brought
the ball into such excellent posi-
ton for a score that it became
an easy task for Joe Mills to
plunge across the goal line a few
moments later. Johnny Boyle
was Gonzaga's best performer.
st. Adams had little trouble
in defeating Landon Prep, IS
to 0, in the other game yester"
day. Magee and Cornwall were
the stars, with the former scoring
two touchdowns and the latter
one.

win by several touchdowns.

Bergman will send his Catholic
University team against "Chick"
Meehan's Manhattan club. Man
haitian is improved, as its show
ing against Holy Cross will attest,
but "Dutch's" club has too much

Other Games
In other games:
Army should romp with Penn
Military: Boston College should
nose out Western Maryland; Co.
lumbia will down Lafayette; Holy
Cross will take it easy against
Springfield: Temple and Wash.

In the Big Ten, think Mime
sofa will surprise and upset Mich
igan; Purdue will dump Iowa;
Illinois trim Chicago. Northwest
ern will probably defeat Notre
Dame, and in the South West,
Kansas State will doubtless trip
Oklahoma.
In the far West, the most i'm
portant game of the year brings
Oregon and Southern California
together. I think the Trojans
will recover from Stanford and
turn back the Oregonites.
