NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Lon Sti-
ner's trousers are somewhat thread
bare in the seat because the Ore
gon State football coach kicked
himself clear across the continent.
We would make no mention of
this marathon punting if Mr.. Sti-
her had been booting his iron men
about after Saturdays first loss of
the season to Oregon, but when a
coach unlimbers the old inStep upon
himself-that's news.
It may sound incredible; it may
even establish gridiron precedent,
but the 220 pound mentor of the
Beavers accuses himself of losing
that game to Oregon-not the play
erS.
II was seized with the jitters,"
Stiner confessed after the Beaver
squad of 26 arrived last night for
Saturdays game with Fordham. u
became as excited as a kid watching
his first circus parade"
While hog-tied by the jitters did
Stiner make any tactical errors, we
asked. Did he send in the water
boy to replace the fullback, did he
signal for 6O-yard goal kicks or the
like?
Stiner oSs-eXamined himself.
NO" he replied. Il made no tact
ical errors that I recall. 1t wasn't
anything I did or didn't do. 1t was
just my mental attitude, if you
can understand what l mean"
We admitted we couldn't.
"Well, here's the idea, then. Foot
ball games are not won physically.
They are won spiritually or mental
ly. Take Army, for example. No one
can stop those cadets because
they've got the West Point spirit.
1t carries them past any obstacle"
So we asked Stiner, How is your
spirit now? You know Jim Crow

Delegates to the annual conVen-

Professional Baseball Leagues to-
day considered 43 proposed amend

Most important were those plac-
ing a curb on shoestring" oper-

chise territories in which financial
obligations have piled up until
those obligations have been settled.
The western league discarded its
temporary 1888 setup and emerged
with a membership which includes
clubs from Denver, Pueblo, DeS
Moines, Topeka, st. Joseph and
Omaha.
Springfield, Joplin and Bartles-
vile, members in the 1888 season,
were dropped.

Imperial Valley press., 1933-11-16

The Press urges a large at
tendance of football followers
at tomorrow nights game, not
only to root for Central. but to
pay a welI-deseTycd tribute to
the teammates Of Willis Ward
who are gamely carrying on"
despite his loss.
1t takes plenty of the old
backbone fer boys of high school
age to keep going when they
have seen enc of their number
stricken down. The CaleXico
boys have decided to play out
their schedule decision which
cCngps!s admiration for their
gameness. Neither the team nor
Coach COyi1gtOn would aban-
don football and if they don't
rate big hand from Ell Centre
tomorrow night we don't know
who does.
Certainly, we all want to see
Central win, but we should be
glad to have the opportunity to
let the Bulldogs know what we
think of them--a game gang
that doesn't quit. (The EditOr.)

Stiner smiled and said his spirit

team was as calm as the Pacific.

FORUM

Dear Editor.
I have always been in favor of good
reads and public improvements of all
kinds that are necessary or reasonable:
but I believe that at time when tax
payers are driven to desperation, we
should not build unnecessary roads or
make uncalled for improvements Far
better keep what we already have in
good condition until prosperity gets
around the corner
The proposed road which some of
the residents Of School District No.
l02 are so enthusiasticall trying to
put through, is, to my mind, a detri-
.1lent to the district. AS 1t has been
staked off 1t will run across one end
OF the school ground. The grounds
are none too large as they are. Hither
to the school yard has been secluded
and quiet, safe for our active young
sters, for enthusiastic ball players, for
all the eager, careless boys and girls
that have run and romped regardless
of speeding cars.
I understand that there is a sum of
money available to put into this pro-
posed road. Just because the money
is available why spend 1T on something
that is absolutely unnecessary and is
more apt to be a source OF grief and
trouble than a Joy? The school has
been there number of years and the
same road has been sufficient for all
purposes. Why all the agitation at
this time on the part of few to build
a new road? The school house is
easily accessible to all residents of the
community. To be sure, the present
road is.in wretched condition; but the
county will take it over and make
good road of it and that is all we need.
Let the available money" be used to
make some other more necessary adj
dition or improvement.
In my opinion the conservative
element in the community is not in
favor of building the proposed road at
this time.
Yours respectfully,
o. E. Ramquist.
