Zioncheck frowned even more, did

Nadeau spoke again, persuaSively,

down his pen, swept the note to the

CLASH FRIDAY

Brawley and Calexico high school
grid teams today were rated out
standing favorites to battle it out
for first place in the valley foot
ball conference after their victor
les last week but the Ell Centre
Spartans loom as a dangerous foe
and may upset the dope bucket if
Taylor's charges continue to play
the same brand of ball demonstrate
ed against Brawley Friday night.
The Spartans, who pushed Braw-
ley all over the field only to see
the Wildcats score touchdown on
the only break of the game, ex-
hibited running attack and de-
fense that overshadows the play OF
any other ball club in the valley.
The Ell Centre passing attack was
surprisingly strong and three times
pass receivers dropped touchdown
passes that were right in their
hands.
The Spartans, however, will have
to put forth their best efforts to
beat Holtville high this weekend.
HOltville held the strong Calexico
Ateam to one touchdown during the
First three periods but the Bulldogs
took advantage of three breaks in
the fourth quarter to run their
total to "a.
Defensively the Viking club is
equally as good as the BraWley
team and they will be greatly
strengthened this week offensive
ly by the return of Earl Walker, one
of the smootheSt runners and
passers in the league. He was un-
able to play in the Calexico game
because of an injury but he will
be in the thick of the battle Friday
night.
The Br9wley Wildcats will take
on Calexico in the headliner this
week in a game that will test the
strength of the Calexico pass at
tack that clicked SO effectively
against the Vikings last week.

the last, booing of his life: Doctor
Jock Sutherland the Dundee den

thinks Notre Dame too fine a team
to be beaten 26 to 0 by anybody
which is very nice and considerate,
but doesn't mean much when $4,000
of the 10000 crowd which saw the
game agree that the score might
easily have been 40 (or more) to :.
The half-time whistle a minute
after Bobby Larue's 67-yard run to
the Irish three yard line cost Pitt
six or seven points, and had Mar
shall Goldbreg known enough to

have had run of 100 yards instead
of fifty, and another touchdown

Graves Tops BrawIey Fight Card
Baby Face
Shaw Meets
Syl. Lueio

Herman Graves, tough, hard hit
ting Ell Centre Negro, is slated to
meet Alex Watson i'm the main
event at the Brawley athletic club
Tuesday night.
Graves, one of the outstanding
amateurs in southern California,
has been defeated only once this
season, and boasts a ko. record
that is unrivaled.
The Valley Bomber will have his
hands full when he trades punches
with Watson, however, for the l..
A. middleweight is one of the best
boxers in the game. He is a capable
puncher and holds decisions over
several leading coast amateurs.
Sylvester Lucio, Brawley light
weight, will tangle with Baby Face
Shaw in the semiwindup. Shaw,
who has defeated every lightweight
on the coast, is one of the easiest
Negro fighters to show in the val
ley.
Ernie Burgi, tough Holtville
lightweight will take on Tony De
Valla in the sixth fight. Burgi,
who has lost only one decision in
valley rings, is one of the most
promising lightweights in this sec
ton. He is an expert slugger and
can absorb a lot of punishment.
Bert Birmingham and Archie
Bascus will hook up in the fifth
battle of the night. Both battlers
boast poor defenses but throw
punches from every angle. Bert
starts all of his blows from. the
exit and when he lands with one
of his wild swinging haymakerS it's
curtains for his foe. Bascus is also
a terrific puncher.
