= about these Southern young.
sters who have come along
L from Dixie to become the
spearheads Of the golfing new
deal around Washington. And then
again perhaps nothing can be done
about 'em, but let 'em cut each others
throats as they did today at Chevy
Chase.
One Gene vinson, tall, black haired,
larruping piece Of young manhood
from down Mississippi way has stolen
the spotlight in the Chevy Chase
tournament which winds up today
and the boys who like an occasional
wager on a golf match were laying
Vinson at even money to win the
tourney even though he had two
matches to 60.
It all comes about from the con-
vincing manner in which this husky
lad. with the build Of q half-back
and the nervous golf manners Of Jess
Sweetser, laid Harry Pitt away In the
second round of the tourney yester.
day. Jess SweetSter used to act the
way Vinson does around q golf course.
Nervous, you know; high pitched. all
tension and taut nerves, but nerves
always under perfect control when
there was any stroking Of golf ball
to be done. Vinson is just that way,
but those taut nerves bespeak the
keyed-up competitor and not the ten
sion of nerves ready to crack
Vinson met Hickman Greene. an
other Southern invader. in one semi
final at Chevy Chase. while W. Beverly
Mason, the long. lean lad from tne
home club, clashed In the other
penultimate round with Maury Nee,
runner-up last year. After that FIRST
round upset of Roger Peacock at the
hands of young Greene In the opening
round yesterday, the stage was set for
the first formal meeting OF Harry PITT
and Vinson. Both hail from the
Manor Club and they have played
frequently together but never before
in competition.

Pitts Putting Pitiful.

Y UNISON got the jump and held
v, it all through the match. al
though Harry's putting was
pitiful. The tall Southerner, cracking
the ball for 800 yards on a few oc-
cassions, simply outstroked Pitt, end
ing the match on the sixteenth.
Peacock, trying out new swing. took
"a strokes to play the course against
Greene. In the medal round on We'd
nesday he had 70. Roger, i'll from
a stomach ailment, did not play IN
the afternoon. The day was complete,
from the upset standpoint, with the
2l-hole victory of J. w. Harvey, jr.,
over Martin F. Mccarthy, for Nc
Carthy was favored to win over the
tall Manor star.
Whether any of the local stars can
do anything about this Southern
threat remains to be seen. Certainly
Vinson is the favorite to win the
tournament if you can believe the
gallery comments from those who
followed him against Pitt yesterday.
And plenty did just that. The gal
lery looked like that of . final round.

TEAMS EVEN
IN BETTING
Little Choice Between Stanford
And Alabama For Rose Bowl
Contest.
BY GEORGE ii. SEALE
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press stair correspondent
PASADENA, Calf, Dec. 81. = A
degree in medicine appeared quite
as essential as a working knowledge
OF, football today in considering the
Stanford alabama Tournament of
Roses football meeting tomorrow.
An observer, taking a pre-game
guess on the outcome, needed to
know of ribs and ankles and the
appendix.
Stanford's hopes to upset the
southerners rested chiefly with its
two All-Americas, Bobby Grayson,
fullback, and Jim Moscrip, end.
s. Grayson suffered several cracked
ribs in the California game and has
been able to work out only a few
days recently. Moscrip and his fell
low end, Keith Topping. have been
treating injured knees.
The three believe they will be
able to go top speed against Ala
bama but many doubt it.
Stanfords coach, Tiny" Thorn
hill, has said he expected his Grip
Piles to be good enough for 80 min
utes of hard football.
Experts who have watched Ala
bama in practice here believe that
80 minutes of hard football from
Grayson, Moscrip and Topping will
just be about 80 minutes too few
Alabama, too, has its medical
problem in the form of its 208-
pound tackle, Jim Whatley, who has
been nursing an incipient case of
appendicitis.
Should the various ailing ones
run onto the turf at Rose Bowl in
prime condition tomorrow the game
should be toSSup.
From such comparisons as can be
made-and the teams met no COM
mon rivals-Alabama and Stanford
seem to be of equal strength. The
betting reflects this locally with no
points being given nor odds offered
on either team.
The greatest crowd ever to see a
Tournament of Roses contest was
assured since the 84,500-odd seats
of the bowl were sold week ago.
A factor that brought about the
sellout was Alabama's reputation
for making Rose Bowl games inter-
esting. The Tide has won two and
tied one in other appearances here,
Still another was the opinion held
by many coast fans that Stanford's
team is the best the coast has had
in years.

Summers Set
More Records

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 81. U.P)-The
speed swimmers had new records to
shoot at today after a series of SEN
sational performances by Eleanor
Holm Jarrett and other stars at the
third annual Miami Biltmore Olym-
pic stars meet.
Mrs. Jarrett ended a brilliant day
yesterday by cracking her own world
record mark of 1884 for the 150-
yard backstroke. Her new mark is
1852 flat. Earlier in the day the
Los Angeles star shattered her own
100-yard national record of 1:13.3
by splashing over the course in
lilo As. OIL.
Ralph Flanagan of Coral Gables
lowered three middle-distance free
style marks, one held by Johnny
Wiesmuller, the screen Tarzan, and
two by Jack Medica, of Seattle.

ter shape than we have been, with more
confidence and with the lessons of the
past five years to act as guide posts for
our future course. Whatever the disap-
pointments of the past may be, the new
year presents us with clean slate. As
individuals much that will be written ON
the slate during the year is up to our
selves. If we retain our courage and our
optimism, year hence will find us ap-
preaching 1886 in still better condition.
The old year hasn't been bad. The
new year, we hope, will bring to all, the
health, happiness and prosperity we wish
for them.

ABC Team Trounces
BralDley ALL Stars


With Ehmke and Lee accounting
for seven hits between them and
the other members of the A.B.C.
team pounding the apple to all
corners of the lot, the Beer Barons
downed the Brawley All Stars here
yesterday by 5-4 score. The
game was extremely well played
with Willingham and Muillo twirl-
ing in masterful fashion. Ehmke
got four and Lee three hits out of
five trips to the plate.
A return game will be played
between these two teams tomorrow
afternoon at Brawley. On next
Sunday the Beer Barons will travel
to Calipatria to meet the fast-step-
ping team from that city. The
Calipatrians defeated Yuma yes

QUAKE DAMAGE SLIGHT

Luck or good fortune rode with Imper-
lal Valley yesterday morning when Old
Mother Nature decided to do a bit of
dancing, probably to warm up her feet.
benumbed by the cold of winter.
The damage of yesterdays quake is
negligible and particularly so in COM
parison with the force and length of the
shock which sent thousands of sleepers
scurrying from their beds. The shock is
described as a rolling one, with none of
the Jerk or twist" such as the one of
January l, 1927 brought to us. 1t was
the absence of the Jerk or twist"
that kept damage to minimum.
1t seemed impossible to believe while
the shock was occurring, that it would
not cause severe loss and damage. Not
a building in this city, or in the entire
valley, so far as has been reported, was
seriously injured. Scattered reports of
broken dishes and slight home damage
seems to be the extent of the loss.
A quick survey following shock failed
to show any signs of hysteria. There
was no general exodus. to the "open
spaces" as has generally happened dur
ing prior disturbances of this sort. IN
deed many just rolled over and contin-
ued their sleep. Therein they were wise
The average small house such as we know
in the valley, is a pretty safe place at
such time. Excuse can be made if
those in or near large buildings become
stampeded. 1t is not intended to infer
that there is no danger in a small house.
There is, for one can get good crack
or bump, but the chances of loss of life
are at minimum.
Keeping ones head during such time
is the only wise thing to do. Rushing
about in an irresponsible manner is the
most certain way to court danger. I'M
perial Valley residents-at least those
who had been through previous shocks
appear to have learned that lesson and
practice it.
'(The foregoing was written prior to
10:46 this morning and the experience
of that time hasn't made us wish to
change any part of what we have writ
ten. Today's seemed even more severe
than yesterdays but everything is still
okey doke)

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Again it is time to ring out the old,
ring in the new" and it is a pleasanter
job this time than it has been for several
years past
On the whole, 1884 was much better
year than its predecessors, and 1885
looms on the horizon with even better
prospects than the year that is passing.
We are two years removed from the
"black" year of 1882, which saw the de-
preston reach its lowest mark. Improve
nent during 1888 has continued through
out the present year and hope of better
things has continually been growing
stronger.
In looking back over 1884 one can pick
out plenty of flaws but there was also
much of an encouraging nature. The
former grow less serious in retrospect
than they were when they occurred, while
the latter remains with us to stimulate
and strengthen the hopes for the future
Imperial Valley weathered a discour-
aging drought, which at its peak seemed
really serious, and doubtless was for
many, but we can all be thankful that
it never even remotely approached the
extreme fears of the alarmists and the
pessimists. We also started the ALL
American canal, fulfillment of 20-year
dream.
The state survived what can honest
ly be considered threat to the sound
principles of Americanism, in the at
tempt of Upton Sinclair to seize control
of CALIFORNIA; government. 1t was
critical moment in the history of this
state and looking back at it now, the OBJ
server is more inclined than ever to con-
gratulate the people of this state for
their good sense in casting their ballots
as they did.
Nationally we have made progress. A
frank statement, even from opponents of
the administration, must admit this.
There have been mistakes made and they
will continue to be made But the hys-
terra which beset the people of this ma
tion two and three years ago has passed.
That feeling had to go in the discard be-
fore any progress toward recovery could
be made Confidence is returning in
greater degree day by day, and conf
dence is the primary asset required for
the return of normal times.
1t is natural to look forward to the ap-
preaching year with optimism, but there
is real reason for it this year. The high
spot as far as Imperial Valley is con-
cerned will in all probability be the COM
pletion of Boulder dam and rapid prog
ress on the All-American canal. 1t still
is difficult to realize that this great twin
project is approaching a reality and that
the days of fighting for il have passed.
Attempting to predict what will hap
pen in 1885 is dangerous, if not foolish,
for only time can tell that.
However, few will dispute the state
