SPARTANS PREPARING TO MEET
CALEXICO'S STYLE OF PLAYING

Grid fans can expect a wde-open
game with plenty Of passing in the
Spartans second tangle with Cal
exico, to be played here Friday at
8 p. m, if prognostications voiced
today by Coach w. S. Taylor prove
correct.
From reports of the Holtville-
CaleXico game, 1t is safe to say that
Calexico will probably resort to the
air frequently" the coach said, land
the Spartans will be on the lookout
for this"
If their running plays are stop
ped, the Spartans will do lot of
passing themselves. They have been
working hard on both pass offense
and pass defense this past week and
should be ready tor any little even

Kokobun, quarterback, are expected
to sling most of the fast ones for
the border team.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Having
seen its new rules for scoring box
ing matches tried out, the New
York state athletic commission has
reached the conclusion that the reg
ulations are perfect in all respects,
save one:
When the figures are added up
the winner is the loser.
AS a result of this technical
problem the commission will meet
Friday to adopt another set of rules
TO supplant the new set adopted
last week. Meanwhile the commits
sion pCnders going before the state
legislature to have the boxing sta
tus amended in other respects.
The commission, obviously, is in
something of stew.
It's members went into session
yesterday arnbusht,d behind desks
and dignity prepared to pounce
upon Referee Danny Ridge and
judges who worked with him last
Friday night. At that time the COM
scoring rules was in force.
The flaw in the rules that returns

cropped up once, probably twice,
possibly three times, in successive
bouts.
There was Some question regard
ing the decision that gave Bob Olin
Make Rosenbloon1'S light heavy
title and another decision found
dissenters, but the one following
the Sammy Fu1er-Peter Jackson
bout was the cause of the greatest
rllmpus. Fuller floored Jackson
three times, in different rounds, had
the Californian near a knockout at
least once and won seven of the 10
rounds, but Jackson got the decis
ion.
Referee Passes Buck
But if Referee Danny Ridge felt
himself on the spot he got off in a
hurry by an indictment of the COM
missions new rules:
+"I thought Fuller won,' he ex-
planned, but the figures came out
in Jackson's favor when l added
them up. If they came out that way
agan and I had the same instruc-
ions I would do it again"
After which the commission sat
in contemplation with their new

BOY To
ENTER TENNIS
TOURNAMENT

George Young, youthful Imperial
Valley junior tennis champion of
this city, will compete with the
cream of high school players in the
twelfth annual mid-winter tennis
tournament of Southern California
to be held at the Fullerton Union
high school on November 80 and
December /.
The tournament, open TO any high
school student in Southern Califor-
mia who complies with c. I. S. rules
has been the starting point for the
careers of many national cham
pions. Among past winners of this
tournament who have become ma
tional champions have been john
ny Doeg, Gene Mako, Jack Tidball,
and Ellsworth Vines.
Young is senior at Central un-
ion high school and, under the tute
lage of Joe Burcham, Central tennis
instructor, is in great form for the
coming contest. This will be the
first time the local school has had
an entrant in the tournament.
Young recently played the ma
tional boys junior champion, and,
while not winning, gave the cham
pion, Joe Hunt, a close race.
Each high school in Southern
California is allowed four contest
ants, two for boys singles and two
for girls singles. Trophies up for
competition include the Charlotte
Morse girls trophy and the Fuller
ton chamber of commerce boys tro-
ply, with individual honors for the
winner and runner up in both boys
and girls divisions.

scoring rules looking them in the
face.
Under the present complicated
system based on points with the de
cision given on rounds the ref
cree and judges do not understand
it any better than you and I.
When they go before the legisla-
ture the commissioners are going to
amend the statute to reduce the
power of referees and put them on
an equal footing with judges.
Commissioner Bill Brown, who is
not in favor of the new rules, argues
that the only way to score a fight
is to give it to the winner.
With that as starting point the
commission is going to figure out
something new.

Olin Dutra, national open golf
champion says that his games most
cock eyed belief is the one that the
guy who has the best chance to win
a tournament is the player who
trails the leaders by a stroke or two
going into the last round.
That's the pure and simple
hooey,' says Dutra. "Just try and
get one of the leaders to swap
scores with a gent who trails by
even so little as one stroke. Sure,
the pressure is on the leader; but
there's twice as much on the guys
behind. They know they can't waste
stroke. The leader knows he can
waste one, and still be level. Furth-
ermore, he is fortified by the know
ledge that if he can manage to slip
birdie in somewhere, the show is
about his"
