HOOVER HIGH FIVE TOO STRONG
FOR CENTRAL'S HOOP SHOOTERS

Unable to stop the powerful Her
bert Hoover basketball team in the
first half, Coach W. S. Taylor's
Spartan cagers lost their second
game to the coast quintet 1884 here
Saturday night.
This game was undoubtedly the
fastest, most exciting of the sea-
son. Starting with a bang. the Hoo
yer squad ran up an impressive lead
before the Spartans could get or
ganized. The San Diego five held
this edge throughout the game, al
though the Spartans kept lessening
the gap until the close of the con-
test. Harold Jensen. playing the pi-
vot position, was again the big gun
for Hoover, scoring 20 points. Clyde
Bickerton, a transfer from San Di-
ego high played fast, steady
game, scoring 10 digits.

NEW DESIGNS
IN FURNITURE

Early Californian designs held
the spotlight of interest in the
January Furniture Market" says
j. R. Fahs, furniture buyer for
the Imperial Valley Hardware
company, who returned from the
Los Angeles market this morning.
These designs were presented by
a number of manufacturers at the
furniture show, with Monterey
clearly outdoing all others in pro-
ducing acceptable, practical de-
signs
Southern California manufactur-
ers have proven their versatility
by producing many of the most
striking furniture designs of the
country. According to Fahs their
styles have found wide acceptance
in the large stores of the midwest.
east and south. Fahs predicts that
Los Angeles as a furniture center
will eventually rank with Chicago,
Grand Rapids, and High Point, N.
c., in Importance.
The Los Angeles furniture mar
ket was held this year in their
new, spacious building on West
Seventh street where display space
has been adequately provided.
Practically all western manufac-
turers were represented in the
showing. prices were definitely
firm on all grades Of furniture, "
stated Fahs.
Modern designs were especially
prominent in the showing Of bed

acceptance. Blue is the dominating
color in upholstered furniture
Brown followed by charteuse and
amethyst are the other colors that

Judged by tire vulcanizer, a citrus

difference.
They tell the story-and l won't
vouch for it-that not SO long ago
there was a fight here, and at the
finish, one of the judges was asked
for his slip. He said he didn't have
one, and when they asked him why,
he said he had lost his pencil in the
excitement of the first round.
Incensed, the athletic commission
passed rule at its next meeting
which required judges to carry two
pencils.
Won't Get Anywhere
Today, when Mr.. Carlin takes his
boy down TO get weighed in (and
he'll come in at about 1854 he will
ask the commission to provide COM
petent judges.
Its not because I distrust any
of the amateur judges" Mr.. Carlin
told the United Press. Its not
that. But this fight means more
than any fight Klick ever had, and
want the best judges available
Listen, we've worked for this bout
like we never worked before. It's at
the crossroads for frankie. If he
wins it, he'll get not only the junior
welterweight title, but a shot at
Ross lightweight title. And that's
what we want. Therefore, I shall de-
mand experienced men, and not q
bunch of merchants, who, no matter
how honest they may be, don't stand
to know prizefighting."
Mr.. Carlin doesn't know it, but
he isn't going to get to first base
The commission, after letting hin
rant and roar for a proper inter

boys in our set say.
Now for the fight itself; Ross viii

REFEREE IN

NEW YORK, Jan. 2s.-Madison
Square garden hopes for a decision
free Of suspicion or laughs Friday
night when Art Lasky, the Minnea-
polls heavyweight, and James J.
Braddock, the grinning Jersey Irish
man. meet.
Jack Dempsey agreed TO referee
when Col. John Reed kirkpatrick,
president of the Garden corporation
asked him to save boxing in New
York state.
But the New York state athletic
commission is not waiting until af-
ter the fight to put itself on the
spot. and Commissioner Bill Brown

shape for Carnera) announced that
at the commission meeting tomor-
row, he would oppose Dempsey as
third man.
Since Friday when the commits
sion slimbed out ON another limb
and sawed it off by reversing the
decision of its officials who gave
Eddie Babe" Risko victory on
points over Vince Dundee. Col. Kill
patrick has spent most of his time
debating statements. A majority
have had as their subject the in
telligence of the commission, and
in none has the colonel been COM
plimentary.
Dempsey Willing
Learning that Dempsey was kill
ing a Sunday afternoon puttering
about in the new restaurant he is
completing across from the garden
on Eighth avenue, Col kirkpatrick
left his dictaphone and got Jacks
agreement to referee.
"Ill be glad to do anything can
to help out" Jack said, with the
commissions permission"
Col Fitzpatrick then issued this
one:
The decisions recently handed
down in Madison Square garden
have so antagonized the fans that
drastic steps must be taken if c0h-
fidence is to be restored.
Just one man can do it-Jack
Dempsey. Every fan knows that if
Jack is in the ring fair and in
telligent decision will be rendered.
Jack Dempsey has always been
ready to help the boxing game"

Always wash thoroughly all

Take along a supply of paper

It is wise to consult your family

ak. They go to make up the valva-
cade of Brown Crusaders who are
leading the onslaught on discrimina-

Think of the University of Texas of
