BY HENRY McLEMoRE

NEW YORK, Oct. %. W.P)-The
silkworm, a mulberry feeding moth
which never has been given proper
recognition, will come into its own
on Saturday when the st. Mary's
/ football team takes the field against
Fordham at the polo grounds.
This bit of heartening informa- =
ton was given to me by Tom
Foudy, the young gentleman who
does the advance publicity for the
California team, now that Mister
Will-yum Stevens has finally gagged
on his own adjective and retired tc
the conservative life of a circus pub.
licity man.
The ST. Mary's players, Foudy
said, would wear uniforms composed
entirely of silk Their shoes will be
silk, their ankles will be .taped in
silk, their pants, jerseys, headgears
and pads will be silk. In case of
cold weather, they will don silk
mittens, silk scarves, and silk mus
tard plasters.
If anyone but a st. Mary's pub
licity man told me this l wouldn't
believe it. But I believe Mr.. Foudy,
for I have seen enough st. Mary's
football teams to know that they
are invariably balmy, and are al
ways just as haywire as they are
pictured.
No matter how many adjectives
a st. Mary'S advance man throws,
the team when it arrives always
manages to live up to the notices.
Some doubling Thomases we're
skeptical a few years back when
Mister Stevens came on ahead of
the club and announced that Coach
slip" Madigan would field team
on which every player had dis
tinct costume.
Madigan did just that, and as an
added gesture Madigan had his
quarterback wear a costume of solid
white.
Mr.. Foudy told me other interest
ing things about the 1886 st. Mary's
team. 1t is not known as the
"Marauding Madmen from Moraga.'
any more. This name, along with
Saints In Silk" and "Madigan's
Musketeers," was dropped this sea-
son in favor of the "Moraga Mael-
strom"
"a maelstrom is a very devastat-
ing article" Mr. Foudy explained
Probably a maelstrom is the mos
destructive force in the world. ST
what could be more natural thar
for us to choose that as name fol
the greatest football team the worlc
has ever seen. A team where every
position is handled by man who
is not only all-American, but all
time all American"
We tried TO interrupt Mr.. Foudy
at this point and ask how 1t hap.
Imperial Valley press., 1936-10-22

pened the "MaelStrom" was held to
scoreless tie by little San Fran
cisco university. but his purple patch
machine was in full cry now, and
wouldn't be halted.
Have you heard of Coach Mad
igan's quarterbacking system this
year? No, we'll it's marvellous. A
plan of a genius. st. Mary's has
two quarterbacks. One-a boy
named Lou Ferry-is conservative,
cautious, the type who wouldn't
take chance, even at a turkey
rattle. Madigan uses him when care
is needed to protect a lead.
The other is Wally Morse. He's
a flaming gambler. No dare is too
great, no risk too risky for Wally.
He will do anything, at any time.
When the situation is desperate
Wally is sent in to remedy it,"
Yes, Mr.. Foudy, but with a team
of such super stars how does st.
Marys ever find itself in deSper-
ate situation.

TeamChanee

Calexico and Holtville
high ch DOL grid teams,
boasting their most power.
ful squads in recent years,
will officially open the I'M
perial Valley conference football
season on the Holtille turf tonight
al pm.
Because the opening tilt of the
season is being played on the Vik
ings home grounds. valley sports
experts give the Holtville team an
excellent chance to upset the de-
Tending champions. Both clubs hold
victories over ST. Augustine. The
Bulldogs eked out a 7-6 win in San
Diego and the Holtville gridders
knocked over the Saints 1912 in
the Holtville coliseum.
After a week of savage scrim-
mage sessions and heavy drills
Coach Noval Walker announced his
squad in perfect shape and indicat-
ed the Holtvillians stand a good
chance to knock over Calexico. The
Viking running attack has clicked
off smoothly in preseason games
and the defensive work of the
Walker team is unsurpassed by any
valley team.
Holtville's squad came out of the
st. Augustine game last week in
good condition with no injuries re-
corded despite the fact the game
was a hard fought tilt from start
to finish.
Woolridge and Earle Walker will
be ready for some action and with
these two backs in the lineup the
Vikings will present a powerful
scoring machine that may give the
Calexicans plenty of trouble
CaleGico emerged from the San
Diego contest with only one man
on the injured list, Yrban Gamlin,
but the Negro halfback will be
ready to take over his backfield
position in tonight's contest.
CaleXico stock rose this week
when Covington announced Leo
Samaha will be able to take part
in the game tonight. Samaha, who
has been suffering with a bad
ankle. will be in the thick Of things
as long as his ankle holds up, and
if he is able to play at top speed
he will indubitably thwart many
OF the Vikings scoring tries.

Because the Brawley-El Centro
games played ON the Spartan grid
iron during the last four years have
ended with the score tied up, many
valley football experts anticipate
another bitterly fought tie game
Friday night.
The Bench Warmer, however,
does not agree with those experts
who predict tie score. 1t looks
like Brawley by two touchdowns.
The Wildcats superior running at
tack and its fast charging line
which is particularly strong on de-
fense will turn DacK the Spartan
bid for victory.
Holtyille high school, the question
mark team of the valley league will
surprise even the most hopeful viz
ing rooters with a one touchdown
win over the Calexico gridders.
Holtville will strike suddenly in the
first period to score and then will
settle back to s,iIoid their lead
throughout the remainder Of the
game

fornia football squad of 38 players
leaves here tonight for Palo Alto
where they encounter Stanford Sat-
urday in their annual game.
Coach Howard Jones reported to-
day that Angy Peccianti, first-string

CHICAGO, Oc. 81. UP)-One mar

ue-threatened today to boot
Minnesota's chain of 20 straight
victories and end its mighty three
year reign over American football
One man alone can't lick the
Gophers. But Isbell. highest scoring
back in the middlewest and in
Spired leader of one Of Purdue's
greatest backfields, so far this veal
is unexcelled as a ball-carrier and
with added help from other touch
down minded Boilermakers. becomes
the most dangerous runner the
Gophers have met during their
undefeated span.
If Minnesota tinghtens its de-
fense for Purdue running plays,
Isbell's sniping forward passing arm
will strike overhead-ioosen up TO
protect against passes, and he may
dart into the line and away.
Isbell has rolled up 451 yards in
38 plays from scrimmage against
Ohio University. Wisconsin and
Chicago. Minnesota's entire start
ing backfield mas made only 32l,
although its opposition was more
severe.
The Boilermaker star averaged
11.S yards, scored six touchdowns
and kicked eight points from place
ment. With A points, he is the
nations third high scorer.
Running with him will be john
ny Drake, a good ball-carrier for
two years. He blossomed into a
great halfback from the day Noble
KiZer sent Isbell to fullback and
dropped Drake to right half to
capitalize on his flawless blocking.
He has carried the ball 80 times,
gaining 230 yards for an average
of 7.8.
Against this high-geared attack,
Bernie Bierman will send probably
his strongest defensive team in
years. Bierman has elected to make
his first line of defense against
passes relying on his armour plat
ed Gopher line TO throw back Isbell
and his powerful mates.
Only 18 first downs have been
pushed through that line. Wash
Ington made 10 in the opener on
the west coast, while Nebraska and
Michigan were held to four each.
Washington scored the only touch
down. Michigan failed to move
across midfield.

and Forrest Napier first string

nights game with injuries. Burke
has not fully recovered from the
Redlands game and Napier is suf-
fering from a back ailment that
will probably keep him out Of the
entire game.
Taylor plans to shift Feeney
into Burke's fullback position and
use Bob O'Guin at the halfback
spot in place of Napier.
Juan kirkpatrick will be at
