COMING ELECTION MOST UNIQUE
IN HISTORY OF STATE POLITICS

thrown their support behind Mer-
riam. Several "non partisan
organizations have sprung up TO
aid in the fight against "Sinclair-
ism" The former Socialist-auth-
or, without obvious financial back
ing, has developed a campaign
that has moved like a crusade.
Never. according to seasoned pol
iticians, has there been a time in
California when capital united so
strongly behind one candidate.
Campaign Peculiar
Other peculiarities of the cleo
ton. which have tended to confuse
voters, have included:
Desertion of several prominent
Democrats from Sinclair s support
ing ranks, after the party in con-
vention had accepted the former
Socialist as its candidate.
Sinclair's evident intention of 60
ing ahead with the EPIC plan dis
regarding the Bourbon platform.
He has made little mention of the
platform since the convention, but
has published a revised EPIC pro-
gram.
Failure of more than 40 per cent
of the electorate to exercise its
franchise in the primary. No one
was qualified to predict how that
40 per cent would vote November g..
So far as registration is concern
ed, Sinclair would seem to hold
the balance of power, since Demo-
Gratis, for the first time, have a
majority in California. But Sim
clair was regarded as a Bourbon
imposter, and party lines have
broken to such an extent that the
registration YVES not regarded as a
sure indication of the vote.
The winner November must
poll more than 100000 votes, ac-
cording to present indications. If
80 per cent of the electorate visits
the polls, 25O0,O0O ballots will be
cast In the primary, Democratic
votes for governor totaled 852, ABB;
Republican 822, ,794. Sinclair re-
ceived 436 1863, Merriam 348,327;
Haight 84,977 Republican votes.
Merriam organizations have con-
centrated on Communist and

GOOD NEWS

All residents of El Centro and taxpay-
ers in particular, should be highly graft
fled at the news announced in yester-
days Press, outlining plans whereby
this city is to get new city hall with
out any cost to the taxpayers.
1t IS not exactly right to say new
city hall, for Ell Centre, unfortunately,
and much to the embarrassment of city
officials and civic leaders, has never had
a city hall.
The need for one has long been recog-
nlzed by present and past city councils,
but other matters considered of more
Importance to the city'S we'll being had
to be cared for and it was necessary to
get along as we'll as possible with rent
ed quarters for the city government.
Now this undesirable condition is to be
eliminated. The SERA will construct
modern building opposite the court
house, which will be used by its organ
ization during its lifetime-probably not
more than year or maybe two. That
is a rather indefinite point
However, when the SERA has done
with the building it will be turned over
to the city, which with certain depart
ments of the county government, will oc-
cupy it.
In this way the ghost" represented
by the necessity of providing in some
way for funds for city hall, which has
haunted officials for years, will be laid
low permanently.
A structure comparable in appearance
with the county court house will give
the city two splendid buildings on Main
street which will add much to the at
tractiveness of the city and give visitors
a favorable impression.
But over and above all other consider
ations is the fact that the government
of this city will be well housed and the
taxpayer will not have to dig down in his
leans to supply the wherewithal.

Wilson Dropped in Eleventh.

DUT the two rounds Wilson's sup
n porters counted most heavily
upon-the eleventh and twelfth
proved his undoing. With 10 sec
onds remaining in the eleventh and
the session all even, MeCadon shot a
hard right to Wilson's head. Caught
off balance, Bob went tumbling to the
canvas. Shaken, but not seriously
hurt he bobbed up without a count,
but it was registered as a knockdown
and meant the loss of the round.
The twelfth was a three minute
classic Of toe-to-toe slugging. 1t was
MeCadon's round, though, and his
fight &c.
The Star score card showed seven
rounds for MeCadon, four for Wilson
and one even. Referee Charlie Rey-
nolds also scored seven rounds for
MeCadon and five for Wilson. Judge
Bob Eller gave MeCadon six heats,
Wilson four, and called two even.
Schuyler's card showed only five
rounds for MeCadon and seven for
Wilson. One round on Schuyler's card
was taken away from MeCadon for low

4 a chance to even their series
with New York University in

Gotham. The Violets now have three
wins against two for the Hoyas.
Each school has had three coaches
since the teams first clashed in 1928.
In 1928 and 1929 Lou Little was at
the helm at Georgetown and Chick
Meehan was N. Y. US head coach.
Georgetown won To, in 1928, and re-
peated in 1929, 14-0.
In 1880 and 1881 Tommy Mills
was the Hoyas' tutor, with Meehan
still in charge of the Violets. n. Y.U.
won, 20, in 1880 and again triumphed
the following year, $40. N. Y. U.
once more was victorious in 1892.
Howard Cam coached the Violets,
having replaced Meehan. Mills still
was in charge of the Hoyas.
Jack Hagerty now is G. us coach,
while DR.. Nal Stevens is tutoring the
Violets. The teams did not play last

SONG OF THE STRONG.

Our pals are trouble and hard luck,
Our closest mates are uphill odds,
Who gaze US dredr hedd-,Cirds to buck
Beyond the fauor OF the gods;
Who on our backs placed crushing
loads
Along tDOrn and tDedry beat,
Who trained US on the bitter roads
OF hurt and hedrtache and defeat.
Our nearest friends are strife and pain,
Who built our fiber on the feld,'
Who harrted US through sun and rain
To broken strord and dented shield /;
Who taught us life tods something more
Than soft content beyond all care,
or rose-red dreams along some shore
That caught no message OF despair.
Our coaches haze been care and hate,
Who tDhip-lashed US in open uiet0,
Who led US to the steel-bnrred gate
And made US driue our shoulders
through;
Who tollowed us in our scar-seamed
Wdke
Until at last iUe reached the 1cire,
Who taught us hoiO to stand and take,
And like it better under fire!

A Few Young Fellows.

TOOT BALL is supposed to live on
the vitality of youth. Yet there
are three able and active direc-
tors who have served a total of ITO
years and are still doing all right by
themselves and their teams.
Alonzo Stagg began coaching the
Springfield Y. NJ. C. A. back in 1890.
He moved in 1892 to Chicago, where
ne played and coached, and this makes
his forty-f fifth season on the active
field, in which his College of the
Pacific at Stockton has been no
limping washout for any one.
Jess Harper, who coached Knute
Roclne, worked under Stagg at Chi
cago nearly 80 years ago.
Stagg started many forms of the
modern game. Herschberger was his
greatest kicker-EckersaH his greatest
quarterback-his 1905 Chicago team
finally checked the Michigan ava
lanche-the year after Willie Heston
left.
The old man goes back to the dawn
Of foot ball, but As years later he has
team not only well drilled in all
fundamentals, but a team with a
smart, up-to-date attack.
There is another party by the name
of Glenn Scoby Warner who left Cor
nell and went to Georgia University
in 1895.
This is Pops thirty-f1fth season.
Certainly no other coach ever turned
out as many varieties of attack as
Warner offered at Carlisle, Pittsburgh
and Stanford. A rather heavy-set,
quiet type, dead set in his ideas, Pop
has watched a great parade march by
under his care-Jim Thorpe, Calac,
Guyon, Mount Pleasant, Hudson,
BemuS Pierce, Wheelock, Peck, De
Hart, Ernie Nevers and a long list of
others who helped to make foot ball
history.
Warner, at Temple, is still proving
he knows how to coach a foot ball
team, although he had to follow a
fast pace set by Bert Bell and Heinie
Miller, who lost something like two
or three games in three years.
The third party mentioned is Dan
McGugin, who has put in 80 years at
Vanderbilt, with one of the best rec
ords in foot ball, considering per-
sonnel handicapped by high scholas-
tic demands.
One of McGugin'S favorite pupils
was Ray Morrison, a brilliant quarter
back, now directing the destinies of
S. NJ U. with one of the most battling
passing attacks foot ball ever has
Coaching Ages.
TURRY-UP YOST of Michigan
