While basketball aces of the vari-
Gus high school and junior college
quintets sharpen their shooting
eyes, another group of valley dead
eyes. Imperial Valley pistol shoot
artists, are peering down their
sights in preparation for a match
against the Alhambra police de-
partment pistol team.

least that's what they claim) is
confident it can take the measure
of the coast team for the fourth
successive time.
The valley team is captianed by
that expert of all experts, Rex In
gram of the immigration patrol.
Ingram readily admits he is by far
the best shot on the team and there
fore the outstanding pistol shooter
in the valley.
After hearing of Ingram's prowess
the Bench Warmer decided to visit
the old master himself and pick up
few pointers. Ingram received me
with the utmost hospitality and soon
I was discussing the merits of the
team while Ingram branched off
on his own merits.
Weary. dragged out the record
book and recalled to him that three
members of the team had scored
higher aggregates in the last match
than he.
Ingram merely smiled, leaned
back in his chair and said, Gosh
I can't afford to shoot my best and
show up the other members of my
team. I have to take it easy SO
they won't get discouraged. Why
remember the time when y
I stopped 'Eagle-eye" Ingram be-
fore he could go further and set out
to find another member of the team
and get his ideas on the merits and
demerits of the team.

accosted and I found that Ackley
isn't the shrinking violet he is
cracked up to be.

on the team" Ackley began when
I asked him about his ability to
hit the bulls eye, but when there S

" the backfield which is composed
of four seniors.
Pittsburgh, while a powerful
team. lacks experience and lists a
number OF sophomores in its lineup
The Panthers may find difficulty
in covering the secondary against
Washington's passing attack. fea-
turing pitches by both right and
left handlers.
The coming game will mark the
sixth time that one of these teams
has been a contestant in the Bowl.
And in five previous appearances,
neither squad was able to triumph
in the Arroyo Sece stadium. Wash
ington played there twice. scoring
one tie and losing game by the
slender margin of a point after
touchdown.
Pittsburgh appeared in Pasadena
three times-and took the worst
record of any team ever to repre-
sent the so-called East" After
suffering a $50 defeat by South
ern California in 1888. the popular
consensus was that PittSburgh's
days as a Rose Bowl team were
over because il would take excel
lent publicity to build the Panthers
up to point where the fans
would forget their previous drub-
bings.
But this year. a Panther team
that lost only 10 Duouesne. and
which was held to a tie by Ford
ham, will play to a capacity house
Of 85,000-the game was a sellout
on December IA.
Pittsburghs worst defeats were
both by Southern California-35-0
in 1888 and 47-l4 in 1890. The
Panthers best showing was their
first, in 1923 when they trailed
Stanford in 7-6 contest.
Washington's first appearance
was in 1924 when it earned a lucky
l4-l4 tie with Navy. In 1926, Ala
bama made its Rose Bowl debute
with a 20-l9 victory over the
HuskieS.
Because of two severe wallopings
in the past, Pittsburgh this year
altered its training plans. In those
two games, the Panthers were slow
afoot and not as sharp as they had
been during the regular season. The
Imperial Valley press., 1936-12-23

1880 team. for example, won nine
straight games on its regular sched-
ule and then folded up before
use. because they elected to do
most of their training at home
where the field was heavy from
snow and rain.
This year, the PantherS arrived
in San Bernardino. rs miles from
Pasadena. almost two weeks before
game-time in order to sharpen up
their attack in proper surroundings
And. according to many coaches,
that decision might give Pittsburgh
the ball-game. Frank Thomas

might surprise everyone because of

said I.
Ackley squinted a moment, then
said, Say maybe you had better
change that to consider all chal-
lenges'."
Bill "Bashful" Heating strolled in
to the police station at this point
in the conversation. He refused TO
comment on the chances of the
team in spite of all my entreaties.
When I questioned him about his
chances to star in the Alhambra
meet, however, Keating was ready
with:
well I'm not shooting so well at
the moment on account I haven't
practiced for several months, but
with little limbering up I'll be as
good as ever and will again be the
mainstay on the team"
Jack Tackett arrived in time to
put in a few good words for himself
practice that he has mastered TO
the nth degree, so / departed TO
talk to Dee Keesee at the sheriff's
office.
Keesee was lolling back in his
swivel chair shining his new pistol
and singing, or muttering something
about a moon coming over noun
tain.
Dee put down his gun and asked
me what ! wanted TO know about
the pistol team.
I seated myself behind the count
er: turned the gun in the other di-
rection and asked him who he
thought was the best shot on the
peace officers team.
We'll" drolled Dee, 81 don't like
to brag, but I think, in fact l know,
I'm the best"
Before he could go further I rose
to leave and as 7 trudged back to
the office l realized that if the
pistol team will hit the target with
the consistency that they claim they
are capable of doing, Alhambra
won't even have look in when they
start shooting it out with the valley
bull, 1 mean pistol shooters.

with flat unqualified statement
that Jack Torrance, the former
Louisiana State University captive
elephant, would be the heavyweight
boxing champion of the world in
side of two years.
Not wishing to overlook any
chances to perpetuate my name, l
looked into Torrance's professional
boxing record to see if there was
any sound reason for such proph-
ecy. Finding Torrance's record was
no easy task. When I did locate it
by the use of a very high-powered
magnifying glass found it difficult
to enthuse.
True, he has batted 1000 SO far
but this figure iss not SO impressive
when you learn it is a result OF one
fight and one fight only. I could
not find the name of Torrance
opponent but I have no doubt that
Jacks amazing string of one con-
secutiVe victory was scored over
some animated sofa or fierce hat
rack.
Torrance, as you doubtless know
is the 3OO-pound article who holds
the dubious distinction of having
thrown a 16-pound shot further
than any man in history.
He was a member of the Ameri-
can Olympic team at Berlin last
summer and outside Of Mrs. Eleanor
Holm Jarrett, probably caused
more per capita headaches than
anv member of the athletic army,
Torrance's method of bringing on
migraine to his handlers was the
exact opposite of that used by Mrs
Jarrett. Mrs. Jarrett wouldn't go
to bed. Torrance wouldn't get up.
The S. S. Manhattan had no more
than passed the Statue OF Liberty
than Torrance donned a flannel
nightgown, heaved himself into ms
bunk after the manner Of whale
being cast up on a beach, ana
started sleeping.
There was only one sound which
would rouse him, and this was not
the blast of the lifeboat drill
whistle. or the roar of the foghorn,
but the clear piercing notes OF the
bugle announcing that food was on
the table.
He ate six times a day, having
wangled permission to work right
through both the first and second
sittings. All efforts to get him on
deck for workouts with a leather
shot were unavailing until shortly
before the boat eased into Ham
burg. when he reluctantly came on
deck and, using two lightweight
boxers as Indian clubs, flexed his
blubber for ten minutes.
1t was not, however, until the
Olympic village was reache dthat
Jack really became lazy. There
under the lovely elms and beside
the rippling brooks, he went into a
Information that would have sham
ed a grizzly bear. AS a result, he
was a miserable disappointment in
the Olympic games, failing tc
throw his beloved shot within sew
eral feet of his worlds mark.
What has this got to do with his
boxing you might ask? Nothing
except that to me it proves he is
another of those lazy, good-natured
unexcitable giants who lack the
fire for the most competitive of al
sports prizefighting. Not that
think this story will cause him tc
change his plans. He will capitalize
on his size until they run out oi
pushovers and some little 185-pound
gentleman knocks him kicking
Then he wisely will return to his
job as a traffic cop.

Drops Tilt
By 81 to 20

A flawless passing attack
and timely field goals Tues
day night gave Beverly Hills
high school cagers a hard
earned 24-16 victory over
Coach R. r. Taylor's Junior col
lege basketball team in the Ell
Centro high gymnasium.
The Beverly Hills reserves bowl
ed over El Centro high 1920 in
a preliminary game.
The Coast team, which ran
roughshod over Brawley high and
junior college quintets Monday
night, fought through its closest
duel of the season when it tangled
with the Arabs and only the poor
shooting of the junior collegianS
enabled the Beverly Hills team to
score the triumph.
Beverly Hills drew first blood
in the opening minutes of play
when Reeser dropped a free throw
through the netting for a single
digit. Mclaughlin, who was the
only jaycee player who showed
any offensive ability, put the j.
c. in the lead moment later
when he slapped in a beautiful
shot from the foul line.
The lead sea-Sawed during the
first half with the coast team
going into 1913 lead at the end
| of the period on Bogg's two free
| throws.
At the start of the second half,
however, the Beverly Hills team
found the range and began to
plunk the ball through the hoop
consistently Before the third pc
riod was completed the Saxonmen
had slipped into a comfortable six
point lead and the jaycees could
never head them.
The jaycee attack picked up near
the end of the fourth period, how
ever. when Carter replaced Tenn
pleton at guard, and the Arabs
ran up four points in quick sue
cession The Arab rooters opened
their belated rally but the final
whistle dashed their hopes for a
Central victory.

Elliott, Beverly Hills coach, start

the preliminary game hoping to
run up safe lead. The Central
team, however, matched the Coast
club point for point throughout
the first half and only the deadly
shooting of the Beverly team on
four shots kept them in the run
ming.
With the score standing ills
at the start of the third period,
Captain Kelly and Galloway, who
were the outstanding players of
the evening in both games, began
to hit the hoop with monotonous
regularity and the Elliottmen won
