Ell Centre high schools
grid machine, championship
team of Imperial Valley,
will line up on the green's
ward of the Central Union
stadium" Friday night at 7:3o pm.
to attempt 10 defeat Escondloo
high. AS the Spartans romped
through a workout yesterday in
preparation for the game they were
reminded of the 1880 FL Centro
football team that won Centrais
first southern California title at the
expense of Escondido.
In that year. with Wynne, Price,
Edgar and Hammer in the back
field. the Spartans upset a highly
touted Escondido team 20-6. The
Spartans stopped Ed Goddard. now
All American quarterback, and as
result stopped Escondido.
Friday Escondido will trek to I'M
perial Valley to wipe out that 2O-6
defeat at the expense Of Coach
Taylor's SpartanS. The grape pick
erS are the favorlte DuV Iney die
far from over confident.
To stop the Escondidoans, Central
eridders must duplicate the feat OF
the 1880 Spartans. They must halt
the advance of Escondido's backs
and they must make their own at
tack function every second of the
game.
In and out ball will not win the
game for the coast team will take
advantage of every lapse on the
part OF the Central team, and the
Escondido backs are capable OF
turning every break into a score.
Despite the fact the Ell Centro
team is preparing for a playoff
game. a game which may lead the
Spartans to their first southern
California title since 1880, the Cen
tral footballers failed to show any
spirit in yesterdays workout.
True they carried out their as
signments. blocking, tackling and
running their plays in fine shape,
but somehow that old zip and fire
characteristic Of Spartan teams was
lacking.
To beat Escondido the Ell Centre
team must snap out of it. Ell Gen.
tro can win, but without the prop
er spirit they won't be able to upset
Escondido's hard hitting eleven.

 Off the Bat
 Over the weekend the heavy hit- ting Murphy "Collegians" won two games and galloped right into first place. On last Thursday they took Hollywoods' outfit to the turn of 1914, getting 8 runs in the first inning. On Monday they had @ little difficulty in getting at Frankie Newberry's fast ball and got only 10 runs to defeat Gleason'S "Qlean- CTS" i0-3. It was the tightest, and according to Corn Cob" Paul, the umpire, the best officiated game of the season. Next Monday Murphy meets Wrenn In the last game of the first round and at present 1t looks like an undefeated first round for Murphy unless Mir. Brown decides to load up with bunch of ringers. Should both teams be Intact 1t should be fair show.
 What we would like to know is how many teams Corn Cob" Paul plays with - also how some of the boys play in Q fog on Monday nights, after hectic week-ends - how "Grunts and 0roang" Harvey gets away with 1t, coming around all decked out in summer finery to play ball in Q sand pit.

THE SWING

THE SWING
 Of the various methods employed in executing the forehand and back. hand ground-strokes, have always favored the circular, or continuous swing. I believe that ti is infinitely easier to time the stroke, and that greater force and accuracy iS possi. ble by this method of swinging thar any other.
 There is some choice in the
 matter of swinging, however,
 and I will admit that there are
 times when one will not have
 sufficient time to complete .
 full circular back-swing. Yet,
 under ordinary conditions, any-
 one who has played enough to
 time the ball fairly accurately
 should have ample time to make
 Q full circular beck-swing with
 out having to hurry his stroke.
 The most useful form of the cir. cular swing requires that the racketl starts upward and back in Q full circular motion, then coming for. ward into the ball in Q long hori. zontal sweeping motion. " For example, let me suggest that you grip your racket as for fore. hand drive, standing with your feel in a line which is parallel with tn, intended line of flight of the ball If you are in the correct hittinl position you will now be facing thu side lines, not the net. Now star your back-swing well out in front oi you, opposite your belt buckle. Tht arm and racket start upward ane back, describing an imaginary circlt and follows-t through in a hori. zontal sweeping motion as thu racket canes into the ball. The bal should be hit opposite your bell buckle.
 Practice this swing several time; until you are certain of the course which the racket takes during thu entire stroke.

Recreatio1as Ready For Big Test

Though the Recreations of the City Amateur League, graduate team from the Public Parks loop of last season were considered over 2keig heads In their present environ- mcnt, the Kiersted klan has come % life during the past two weeks, having knocked over the Tribunes 6 to and the Thomas club 2 to 4 fin their last two starts. However, eheiy acid test 4s set for Sunday, when they meet the Washington Kills in the feature game at Hamil- ton park, which will be worth while looking ct in view of the shaky per- 1ormances of the Hills, who seem to be shy of some pitching material that can be depended upon. Here's what Manager Bob Kiersted had to gay about his teams chances:
 'aThe Recreation Athletic club hai showed surprising improvement ir their last two games in the City Amateur League. The club made ' very smart move when they secured Che services of Frank Edmonds, the sensational Naugatuck athlete as catcher. Edmonds has bolstered up Che club considerably and in addi- ton to catching very fine game as hitting the ball at 6 terrific clip. Charlie Keeley has been improving rapidly and should be in splendid form for Sundays game with the Washington Hills.
 The Recreations show a fine hit- king club and including such stars as Myiand, Kraft, McGraw and Per- Fin. The team shapes up well de- fensively, showing an infield Of Frankie Day, Dan Perrin, Howie LouRhiin and Howie Kraft"

WICHTMAN CUP
 MATCHES VERY UNCERTAIN
English Girls Will Be Fla. vOred to Regain Trophy
 After Five Years
BY STUART CAMERON Limited Press Sports EditOr)


 London, June 12.-IUP)-The Wightman cup tennis matches, which opened today on the classic courts of wimbledon, were regarded ed as the biggest gamble in recent years because of the form of the four leading players Helen Jacobs and Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan and Kay stammers and Dorothy Round of the English team.
 Despite the fact that there is an element of doubt surrounding the two aces of each team, England is an almost solid favorite to win. All of the British tennis experts, inc cluding Jim Maskell, chief Wimblc- don tennis professional, predict that the English girls will break America's Swear supremacy. :.
 Miss Jacobs, Americas No. q player, who openB the series against Miss Stamrlers, left.handed Bri- tish ace, looks too finely drawn. Her opponent, Miss Stammers, has played erratically in practice, sl1ow- 7 ing only flashes of brilliance.
 The second match brings together 7 another pair of question marks Mrs. Fabyan and Miss Round, for- ! mer Wimbledon champion. Mrs { Fabyans practice work hes been in and out. Miss Round hasn't fully recovered from illness whcih caused her to withdraw from a recent tour- nament. z Z
 The days final match will be a. doubles engagement between the American team ofb Mrs. John Van { Ryn, Philadelphia, and Carolin Babcock, Los Angeles, and tho strong English paid, Miss Nancy Lyle and Miss Evelyn Dearmail. { Miss Lyle and Miss Dearma1 have won their doubles match the past two years.
 Four matches, three singles ana one doubles, will conclude the series tomorrow.

Smith to Succeed Stuhldreher?

Local graduates of Vtllanova Col- lege will be interested to hear of the probable selection of Clipper Smith as head football coach at the Philadelphia institution. Smith who was formerly head coach at Santa Clara on the West Coast, uses the Notre Dame system and should find an easy year ahead of him with the great team that Harry Stuhldreher left behind. Seven sophomores form- ed the nucleus of Stuhldreher' 's team last year and along with the remaining players on hand Smith should have a banner season for his first term with the Wildcats.
 While the selection of Smith is mol by any means definite 1t is more than likely that he will i'll the va. cancy. Gus Dorais of Detroit anC Rip" Miller were among the fore. most candidates for the post bu neither DoraiS nor Miller agreed te the terms offered and so the selec. ton turned towards Smith who re. gently paid visit to the college and conferred with the athletic au. thoritieS there.
 Young Moe" Egan, son of Dr. John Egan and brother of big Moe, ,' well known in local sports circles will in all probability enroll at Villanova in the fall. Moe" who is quite an athlete himself intends to make good at his fathers Alma Mater. While in high school, Egan was an outstanding football player and track man. Ben Maloney and Bill Sweeney are back in Wa. terbury once more after e success full season with the Villanova track team. Sweeney who graduated this year has been 6 member of the track team for the past three years, specializing in the discus throw. Ma loney, former Crosby high school miller, ran the mile and two mile races for the Wildcats and next fall is expected to bear the brunt of the cross country duties.
