ARABS PLAY
COAST TEAM

With more confidence than they
iave felt since the beginning of the
season, the Central Jaycee Arabs
left this morning for San Diego
where they are playing the Army
and Navy Academy this afternoon.
The local team has worked out
some new plays which functioned
nicely to bring home 1910 win over
the Yuma high school Criminals
last week. and they expect to spring
a few surprises on the strong Aca-
DENY outfit.
The Arabs record this season has
not been any too impressive. Out OF
seven games played, they have won
three, with the scores as follows;
Brawley 81, Arabs O; Brawley l9,
Arabs 7; Phoenix "a, Arabs 0;
Oceanside 0, Arabs IL; Holtville
high O, Arabs 7; Phoenix 10, Arabs
7; Yuma high 0, Arabs IL.
In this, their last game, the boys
will let everything 90 in a last et-
fort to even the scores and end the
season on the credit side.

STILL GUESSING AS TO IDENTITY
OF ISLAND TRAGEDY'S VICTIMS

LOS ANGELES, Nov. "a. U.P)-
a possible solution to the mys-
terry surrounding the death of two
men from starvation and thirst on
volcanic Maichena Island collapsed
today when the skipper of the tuna
clipper Northwestern admitted he
had never seen one of the men
whose identity has been tentatively
established.
Capt. Fred Ostrem said he could
not identify him because he never
saw Rudolph Lorenz, German ad-
yenturer. whose romantic exile with
an Austrian baroness apparently
ended in death on the barren island
off the coast OF Ecuador. Other
sources have virtually established
one of the bodies as that of Lor-
enZ.
Ostrem, whose boat has been in
dock since last Sunday, expressed
an opinion that the other victim
was Arthur Estampa. a Norwegian
sailor who resided on Indefatigable

Capt. G. Allan Hancock, wealthy
patron of science who sailed yeSter-
day for the Galapagos to clear up
the mystery. and other sources be-
lieved the second man was a Nor
wegian yachting captain, named
Nuggeruud.
The tuna skipper said he once
met Estampa on a cruise to indie
tatigable Island. his only trip 10
the Archipelago. The sailor told
him of having been held prisoner
on Charles Island by Baroness Elo-
lisa De Wehrborn, so-called EN-
press of the Galapagos, Ostrem

Estampa told me- he said
1he once visited Charles Island to
hunt fresh meat and was captured
by a giant Ecuadorian who worked
for the baroness. The baroness
