STANFORD PLANS
PASS DEFENSE
FOR MUSTANGS

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal,
Dec. II. UP)-A Week-long cam
paign to plug the loop holes in Stan
ford'S aerial defence was ordered to-
day by Coach Claude E. (Tiny)
Thornhill, preparing his Cardinal
team for a New Years day meeting
with Southern Methodist in the
Pasadena Rose Bowl.
Thornhill, recalling the havoc
wrought by the Howell Hutson
combination i'm Alabama's 1885
Rose Bowl victory over Stanford,
indicated he would concentrate on
pass defense in all workouts for
the game with the famed Texas
pass singers.
Tentative plans call for the team
to leave for Pasadena Dec 26. Squad
members living in Southern Cali
fornia probably will leave two days
earlier to permit them to spend
Christmas at home.
ThOrnhill's principal worry
hinged on the condition of James
Monk MOscrip, goal-kicking end,

FINAL ROUND IN
WORLDS RICHEST
TOURNEY OPENS

CORAL GABLES, Fla, Dec. IT.
W.P-Led by Ted Turner, profession
al from Pine Valley, N. j., the field
swung today into the final round OF
the worlds richest tournament, the
sixth renewal of the $4,000 Miami
Biltmore open.
The tournament record of 2S7
strokes for ~ holes, set by Gene
Sarazen in 1881, was certain to
fall. Nine players needed any
where from Il to par II to smash
it.
Turner, by scoring yesterdays 10
in SIS, five under par. and one stroke
better than the record set by Willie
MacFarlane, Tuckahoe, n. Y, in
1888, had a two stroke lead over the
field. Two strokes behind were Hor-
ton Smith, Oak Park, Ill, and Frank
Walsh, Chicago.
MacFarlane, who scored 81 yes
terday TO draw up into the money
bracket, stood four strokes behind
the leader at 213. Bunched at PA
were George Smith, Chicago and
Johnny Revolta, Milwaukee who
won the p. G. A. Title this year.
At 215, came John Milutic,
Youngstown, Ohio; KY Laffoon,
Chicago, and Bruce Coltart, Wood
crest, n. J. All Of these players could
better SaraZen's record by shooting
par or even worse golf.

Jaycee Arabs TO Meet
Two Quintets Tonight
BORDER BOYS
TOWN TEAM
]. G.. GUESTS

Presenting the strongest team in
several seasons, the Central junior
college basketball team tonight
plays a double header against a
strong commercial quintet in the
first game and CaleXico high in the
second tilt.
The first game will begin at Z
O'Clock and is to be played in the
local gymnasium.
Tonights contests are being plaY-
ed to test the strength of the junior
college five in preparing for the
toughest hoop schedule ever en-
countered by a Central J. c. team.
The commercial team is composed
of several alumni of c. U. H. 5 in
Guiding Lee, Scroggins, Thomas,
Lambeth and Dougherty. This club
should provide severe competition
for the Arab five and bring to light
any weaknesses in the j. G. offenSe
or defense.
Calexico is regarded as a title
threat in the valley high school
league and is expected to give the
Jaycees plenty of trouble. Coach
Covington can always be counted
upon to turn out a strong club and
he has several lettermen back this
season.
With Archie Drennen and Dutchie
Van NoStrand at forwards, Jack
Delozier at center, and Ryerson and
Withrow as guards, the junior col
lege boasts a powerful team both
extensively and defensively. Dren-
men and Van NoStrand scored over
$50 points last season and are
hitting the bucket with increasing
accuracy each game this season.
Delcier, 6 feet inch center, is
rapidly developing into one of the
best centers who has donned
Jaycee uniform in recent seasons.
Ryerson and WithroW are out
standing defense men and are
rapidly improving in offensive play.
The Jaycee'S schedule for the
basketball season, according to
Coach R. R. Taylor. is as follows:
Jan. 7, ella j. c. at FL Centre: Jan.
II, Yuma high, at Yuma; Jan. "a,
Yuma high. at Ell Centre; Jan. 81,
Broadway Colored Clowns, at Ell
Centre; Jan. 81, and Feb. l, Phoenix
J. c., at FL Centre.
Games are also scheduled with
San Diego State frosh and Army
NAVY Academy but no dates have
been set.

BY HENRY MCLEMORE

The setting for the game at the
Hollywood is lovely, and makes the
planked baroness of your average
basketball game seem pretty sorry.
The goal posts are of silver, the
nets gaily tasseled. The goals stand
at each end of mirrored dance
floor, across which soft lights play
And during the game Brother Ly-
man and his boys furnish What
A Lovely Day" in just the right
athletic tempo.
The players take their game
very seriously. This is best
ch0wn by the fact that, i'm their
eagerness to be at their very fast
est, they wear practically moth
ing. The blondes, who won the
four games I watched 3 to 2,
to l, to 5, and to 3, used a
bead motif in their costumes. IL
was possible to distinguish the
players by the number of their
beads. The guards wore three
beads, the center two, and the
forwards one. The regulars, that
is. The substitutes have to get
along with nothing until they
earn their letters.)
The brunettes costume obviously
is dead steal from Sally Rand's
outfit They circumvented a law
suit by Miss Rand, however, by
emitting the fan
The teams are amazingly prof.
cient. There wasn't a one of the
players who did net have good
form, and one of the blondes had
the best basketball form I've ever
seen Or any other kind of form,
for that matter.
