Hopes for an Ell Centre
victory in the third annual
Imperial Valley invitational
basketball tournament were
frightened yesterday after
noon when the Spartan first
stringers demonstrated a powerful
offense and an improved defense
in their best practice session OF
the season.
Only one player who lined up
against Mountain Empire on the
starting lineup in the first game
of the year remains on the Spar
tan varsity. Bob O'Guin, who was
the outstanding Central player in
that game, was the only member
able to hold his position.
Carroll Smith replaced Aaron
at center, Nakamura replaced
Bromley at forward, Ryerson took
over the duties of Juan Kirkpat-
rick at the other forward position
and Burke filled in at the other
guard.
With these five men in the start
ing lineup the El Centro team
looms as a dangerous opponent
for the favored Brawley and Cal
exico squads.
Brawley high cagers, with two
lettermen back from last seasons
second place team, ran through
a light workout yesterday afternoon
and although Coach Clark refused
to abandon his pessimistic outlook
in regard to his teams chances
in the tourney, the Wildcats show
eel a smooth attack and the best
defense in the valley.
CaleXico high looked ragged in
practices throughout the week buI
the fact they have four lettermen
on the squad stamp the Bulldogs
as the team to beat. Webster
speedy boy who starred on the
gridiron, fitted nicely into a for
ward position in this weeks prac-
tice and has apparently assured
himself a spot in the starting
lineup.
With Gallego, Samaha, Stinson
and Nazabal to back him up or

Bearing out their reputation as
the nations outstanding pessimists,
imperial Valley coaches today pre-
dicted disastrous things for their
respective basketball teams and
their chances to win the third an
nual invitational tournament.
If the sports fans of the valley
needed the prophecies of the various
coaches or paid any attention to the
descriptions of their teams, they
wouldn't even both to attend the
meet.
Coach Covington reported that his
club might go o. K. as football play
ers but they lacked both knowledge
and ability in basketball. Give
me two years of constant work and
might turn out a fair squad"
Covington optimistically told opera
tor ER-3.
Marvin Clark, said to have been
started upon reading he had a
strong club, stated he would round
out a winning ball team if he could
line up two forwards and a center
from the middleWeSt. With the
club I have, however, 1 would be
afraid TO enter them in the 9
! league" Clark said.
Hayden of Calipatria refused to
comment on the possibilities of his
ball club. They look awful, was
all he would say
Noval Walker of Holtville report
ed his club stronger than that OF
/ last season but reminded operator
ER-3 that his club last season wor
only one game.
Imperiars coach, j. Burt, wasted
no time in telling the Bench Warm
er that his club would run true tc
form by losing their first game OF
the tournament. I'VE haven't ever
prayer" he said.
w. S. Taylor, the king Of all pes
simiSts, would not even discuss the
possibilities of his club. "AS bad a:
they look" he said, " I have ever
considering Withdrawing from the
tournament and getting grammar
school team to take their place"
Despite the gloomy outlook o.
most of the valley coaches this year.
tourney promises to be the bes
held in the valley. Every team ha'
an above average squad and as {
result every game will be hotly con-
tested throughout.
