Duke-Ca. Tech Encounter
Looms South's Greatest

Durham, Oct. ia gridiron en-
gagement that dares the makers of
adjectives for proper description is
the one that will be staged in Duke
stadium Saturday when the unde-
feated, united unsecured on teams of
Georgia Tech and Duke university
come together in a continuation of
one of the shortest but greatest of
southern football rivalry.
1t is natural from every angle
a classic of the first rank-undoubt-
edly the major game of the year in
Dixie and one that ranks with the
greatest played in the country this
year.
1t will be test of an offense that
has rolled up lat points in three
games against a defense that has
held four opposing teams to a min
imum of yardage this season. And,
that offense since the $40 victory
over Kentucky, is being rated as one
of the greatest in the nation. It was
effective enough last year when these
present Tech boys were sophomores
as Coach Alexander instructed them
mix the latest innovations of lateral
passing with a series of reverses,
spinners and straight maneuvers that
has, in other years, put Tech in the
top ranks of American football teams

WADE, ALEXANDER
HAVE MET OFTEN

Durham, Oct. 13-While the series
between Duke and Tech is a short
one having started in 1888, the coach
es of the two teams-Wallace Wade
and Bill Alexander-have met for
years and the rivalry between these
two veterans of the south has been
one of the greatest in Dixie football.
They started meeting in 1923,
Wade's first year at Alabama and
the score v'cs 90 despite the fact
that Teen .-2[c - first downs to
Alabama's O.. In 1924, Wades Ala
bama team topped Tech, 14-0, and
those Crimson Tide Rose Bowl teams
of 1925 and 1926 won by scores of
14-O and 10. Tech won in 1927, 1870,
and the following year-1928-the
great Tech team scored more points
on Wade-coach team than any ele-
ven has ever made. Held to a 1918
tie until the last eight minutes of play
Tech cut loose for three touchdowns
to win 1918. The following year,
Alabama beat Tech 40, which ended
the series until Duke and Tech met
in 1933-and it's we'll remembered
that Tech stopped Dukes drive after
nine victories by 60. In 1884, Duke
won 200, but last year, Tech triumph

Bing Miller gave his football char
ges a rest yesterday afternoon, MAX
ing them tidy up their uniforms, the
gymnasium and treat several minor
injuries that the boys have sustained
during their grid season.
Coach Miller keeps close eye on
his charges as to their health, giving
first aid to the slightest scratch that
the Bulldogs may receive in their
skirmishes, and if needs be, he sends
them to DR.. Vance B. Rollins, who is
acting as the teams physician at no
cost to the boys, Coach Miller said.
To show the boys that he means
business when he says tidy up, sew
eral of the boys have been suspended
until they comply with the rules. They
promptly went to work in cleaning
up their lockers in the locker room
and all seem ship shape for their en-
counter Friday afternoon with Rox-
boro.
A stiff drill this afternoon and to-
morrow, tapering off Thursday, will
put the locals in tip top condition,

OF Une All American canal cOLlGIdCG.
However, validity of the contract
was being contested in the local
courts by the Coachella Valley
Water Users association and 9TH
erS.
The board of directors realized
the vital necessity Of reaching an
agreement with the Coachella Val
ley Waters Users association. This
agreement would make it possible
for the Imperial Irrigation District
to proceed in its efforts to obtain
an ALLEGATION to start construction
of the All American canal and to
preserve the power resources on
the canal for the people of I'm
perial Valley. 1t would also enable
Coachella to receive water from
the Colorado river, At the same
time the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict would control all of the power
resources created by the delivery
of water to both valleys.
After indirect contacts with men,
oers of the Coachella Valley Water
Users board of directors, the I'm
perial board found that negotiations
could be carried on and an agree
ment worked out, which would be
satisfactory, saving the district end
less litigation and great expense.
The first joint conference was
held in Riverside, in August, 1898.
Thereafter conferences were held
from time to time, in spite of the
fact that on numerous occasions
the conferences were adjourned in
what apparently seemed to be
hopeless deadlock. Determination
TO solve the perpleXing controver-
sial questions involved finally
brought about an agreement, en-
tered into between the two dis
tricts in March, 1884 Litigation
against Imperial Irrigation District
was dismissed and the district was
free to take further steps in Sc
curing the construction Of the main
All American canal.
Early in May, after congress had
passed the first appropriation un-
der the new administration for
construction of public works, Phil
d. Swing was retained and sent to
Washington by the district, to ex-
ert every effort in securing an APP
preparation TO start construction of
the canal. At this hearing, strong
opposition was presented by the
power interests. Swing continued
his battle for this appropriation
which was finally granted October
"a 1888. Thus ended a long fight
which resulted in six million dol
lars being appropriated to start

go long before the All American
canal is mentioned, nor will the
All American canal be talked OF
long before hydro-electric power
development becomes the topic. It
is then that the visitor is given a
true insight into the integrity OF
the man who has become the
greatest single force in the affairs
of the irrigation district. His sin
cerity is manifest in every line OF
his face, in every tone OF his voice
and in the very poise of his body.
1t is subject which is life itself

construction on the All American
canal The valley celebrated this
great victory by gigantic bar
becue in the City of Holtville, but
even in the fact of this celebration,
the shadow of the litigation with
Coachella Valley was still pending,
and the board members realized
that this had to be disposed of be-
fore the money could actually be
used, although the ALLEGATION had
been agreed upon.
Shortly after the six million dol
lar ALLEGATION had been made by
the government, a strong movement
developed in the district, advocat-
ing force account construction on
the canal. The board made vari-
Gus investigations and explored ev-
cry possibility in carrying out this
idea, even to the extent of men,
bers of the board going to Wash
ington and consulting with Senator
Johnson, Sen. McAdoo, and other
public officials. They were told
there was no legal way that this
could be accomplished. and that
the secretary of the interior was
determined the work should be
done by contract, the policy PW.A.
had decided upon in its construc-
ton program. The board also
found that Controller MacCarl had
tied up the appropriation made in
October, and it would not be re-
1n1
struction purposes, until the Goa
chella litigation was disposed Of
Bids Rejected
In December, 1888, bids opened
in Yuma for the first contract on
the canal, were rejected by the
secretary of the interior at the re-
quest of the district. More favor
able and practical terms and re-
quirements were worked out by the
Bureau of Reclamation, bids were
again called for, and opened in
June, 1894, and contracts awarded
then for actual construction to COM
mence on the main All American
canal. The Griffith company, one
of the successful bidders actually
started the districts project, with
Director Mark Rose at the control
of the gigantic power shovel, in
July, 1894, at Pilot Knob.
Early in February, 1884, after
5everal conferences, the board Of
directors determined to start the
districts power development pro-
gram. A competent electrical en-
gineer was employed. Negotiations
were launched to finance the pur-
chase Of diesel engines, necessary

in establishing the first unit of
standby plant, TO be later used
as standby for the All American
canal power, but, in the meantime,
in developing a load that >Would
be ready when the All American
canal power was available. A con-
tract was entered into between the
Hooven, Owens, Rentschler COM
pany and the Imperial Irrigation
District, March 81, 1884.
Expected litigation was filed in
June of the same year against the
district by the local power COM
pany, attempting to prevent the
district from engaging in the power
business. This was the beginning
of a long hard legal battle to pre-
vent the district attaining the goal
it had been fighting for over a
period of years. Up to the present
the district has been successful in
every move in the courts, involving
the power program.
During this period from March,
1888, a refunding program which
the board of directors of the dis
trict initiated in December. 1882,
with the bondholders of the district,
was carried on to successful con-
clusion, in August 1885, by the ex-
change of 80 per cent of the out
standing bonds. This created a
savings to the taxpayers of APP
proximately a million and a half
dollars.
It was the irony OF fate that one
year before it was possible 10 store
water at Boulder Dam, thus Great
ing a guaranteed water supply for
all time, the people of Imperial
Valley should see the lowest river
in the history of the present gen.
Grafton. During the summer of
1884 the most disastrous and great
est drought IN the history of the
valley was experienced by the peo-
pie of the district.
For a period Of over five consecu-
tive months the flow of the Colo
RADIO river was insufficient to meet
the requirements for irrigation
purposes. Assistance was secured
from the federal government in the
distribution Of the small amount of
water available for domestic pur-
poses.
Thousands of carloads of water
were shipped for drinking pur-
poses from points outside of the
valley, Mithut cost to the people.
During his period, with very lit
tie water for sale, the districts
revenue ceased. Engaged with pros
ecuting the legal battles involved
over power development, starting
construction of the All American
canal and driving hard on the re-
funding program, the board sue
ceeded in securing S.E.RA. assist
ance in brushing and cleaning the
canals, in order to furnish water
to the farmers when it was avail
able. These were probably the
darkest days the Imperial Irriga-
ton District ever experienced. They
will never occur again. The cour-
age and splendid cooperation, on
the part of the water users, made
it possible to avoid almost inestim-
able injury, and loss of a perma-
nent nature of many of the leading
crops in the district.
Another very important problem,
in connection with the mainte-
