BERLIN, December 30.-Virtually
every high ranking German Army
officer descended on Berlin today in an
atmosphere surcharged with reports
that Premier Benito Mussolini had ad-
vised Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler to
stop helping Spanish Fascists.
With q decision on Germany's next
move in Spain believed near at hand
numerous members of the army COM
mand who never have been enthusi-
astic about German Italian recognition
of Gen. Francisco Franco, the Spanish
insurgent dictator r-designate. or about
helping Frances armies with German
volunteers. reacted to the Mussolini
reports with II told you so" bitterness
Some sections or military opinion
which from the start doubted that
Il Duce was reliable as an ally were
doubly doubtful today.
The commanding generals Of every
German army corps-12 in all-were
in Berlin simultaneously with Der
Tuehrer, Marshal Werner Won Blom-
berg, the defense minister, Col Gen.
Hermann Wilhelm Goerlng, prime
minister and air minister; Col. Gen.

of staff: Foreign Minister Baron
Konstantin Won Neurath, Finance
Minister Hjalmar Schacht and the
Ambassador to London, Joachim Won
Ribbentrop.
Predict Definite Stand.
While there was no immediate con-
frmation of reports of general army
political conferences today with Der
Fuehrer, informed sources predicted
8 definite stand on the question of
volunteer sailings to Spain, now under
Franco-British pressure, would not be
long delayed.
Sources close to Rome asserted II
Duce, always an advocate of quick and
decisive action, had decided to wash
his hands of Gen. Franco and had
suggested that Der Fuehrer gracefully
follow suit.
According to this theory Mussolini,
when he joined Germany in recogni-
tion of the Fascist government" in
Spain, was ready to aid Gen. Franco
within certain limits-on the aSsump-
ton Spain would thus be soon restored
to order and any bolshevist menace"
would be quickly counteracted.
Now, however. that the Spanish con-
Aict between Fascists and Socialists
has reached the proportion of "little
World War" through foreign enlist
ments, volunteer or otherwise, II Duce
was said to view Soviet alliance with
the Spanish government as a problem
Just as embarrassing to England and
France as it was to Italy and Ger
many.

had the shortest straw, but I gave him
two marbles and he let me have 1t. I
didn't care about the marbles, cause
they was only poor-agates. and besides
had to show Lora-that was the new
girls name-that wasn't no sissy.
didn't I?
We decided on Thursday night after
school. Frecks said he had to get
right home after school or else Old
Man Muehler might not like 1t. but
we told him it wouldn't take long. He
kind of grinned, but he wasn't feeling
quite so good, we could tell that.
Us kids was all excited Thursday
afternoon. We could hardly wait for
the o'clock bell. At recess time us
guys all got together except Frecks.
We didn't want any of the girls to
know, cause they might tell the teach
er. Most Of them thought fightin' was
crude, but I hoped Lora wouldn't
think so.
Four o'clock finally came and all
the boys got in a bunch and started
for the vacant lot behind the church
'cept Peewee Schrey. whose old man
was a professor over at the college and
they was pacificts.
WHEN us boys all started of in a
w gang the girls knew somethin'
was up and, most Of them went on
home like Peewee, but a few of them
started foilowin' us. There was Tom
boy Keller-she was pretty good at
flghtin' herself, and hoped Lora was
there, too.
Well, we got over behind the church
and started in. Some of the boys had
to push Frecks in to get him to fight.
I could tell right from the start that
he didn't have much and that 1t was
goin' to be easy. We Lit in though and
did some pretty good scratchin' and
kickin' and got Frecks down and was
bestin' him pretty good. Then asked
him If he was ready to say "nuff' and
he said it.
We got up and Frecks was cryin'
and was Shakin' pretty much, but !
was tryin' not to show it. I was ready
to call 1t quits, but the other guys
thought we oughta tangle some more
and they kept pushing Frecks at me.
Then I looked at the bunch OF girls
across the road and Lora, the new
girl, wasn't there And then some one
says to Frecks to get in there and gives
him a push. And then FreckS says,
"Shucks, amt mad at anybody" and
kind of grinned through his tears, and
1 looked at the bunch of girls again
and Lora wasn't there and felt kind
of silly and says, Gosh darn it, I
amt mad at anybody. either"

live with Henry Mueller, who had the
goat farm out east of town about 8
miles. Some Of us kids had seen Frecks
durin' vacation time before school
started.
We always liked to go out to the
goat farm durin' vacation cause It
was hilly and there was rocks and
cliffs to play cowboy and Indian.
Then there was pond to swim In
and we could go bare cause there
wasn't no girls around. We saw him
sometimes that Summer workin' in
Old Man Muehler's fields, but we never
got very good look at him.
= Il y
TT WAS a custom in our grade that
whenever there was a new kid he
had to have fight. That is If he
wasn't too big. We made the new kids
fight SOS we could see If they was reg
ular or SiSSies.
We didn't have much use for siSsies.
There was three of us guys in our
grade who was considered the best
fighters and it was always our job to
see that the new kids was initiated
right.
We always got together and decided
which one of us was to do the job. II
the new kid wasn't too big we all
wanted to do it, cause that sort of
made us a hero if we licked him.
So when Frecks came to our grade,
Buck. Jim and me-we was the three
best fighters-we tried to pick fight
with him. But Frecks didn't wanta
fight. We tried everything we knew
how to make him mad, but he'd Just
him and some one else'd push him over
backward.

the brown mare he rode to school
loose and he had to walk all the way
home to Old Man Muehler's goat ranch
and he was late with the chores. We
dared him to do things even We was
scared to do and we called him names,
but no luck.
Finally we decided, Buck and Jim
and me. that we'd just up and tell him
he had to fight. Every new kid had to
be initiated to our grade.
All three or us, Buck and Jim and
me, was pretty anxious to get this
fight, cause it looked pretty easy. But

patrick. all-valley quarterback,
scored the only Spartan touchdown
in game that saw the Central
eleven come out on the short end
of a 1876 score.
The following weekend the Spar
tans opened the league season
against Brawley high. The team
battled tooth and nail for the first
three periods with neither team
able to score. Then, with only a
few minutes left to play, Minter,
Brawley halfback intercepted an
El Centro pass and ran to a touch
down and victory.
Defeat, Turning Point
The defeat at the hands of
Brawley was the turning point in
the season for the Central team.
Immediately after the game, a
grim Spartan football squad trot-
ted slowly into the dressing room.
Silence pervaded the room but
on the mind of each Central foot
ball player was lne thought, We've
got to win that championship"
The players met in the center
of the dressing room and silently
took a vow that they would lose
no more games.
The following weekend the VOW
boys from Central, with Calvin
Aaron leading the way massacred
Holtville 1916. Aaron made two
brilliant runs TO touchdownS and
paved the way for Damron to add
the third score.
The undefeated Calexico team
came next on the schedule but
the Spartans took the Bulldogs in
stride. Aaron and Smith, ends,
combined for the first touchdown
when Aaron threw a pass to Smith
for 81 yards and Damron ran %
yards tor the second score that
gave the Ell Centrans l2-6 win.
Childers, an-valley guard, came
through with his touchdown gallop
in the next game to whip BraW-
ley TO, and the Holtville Vikings
bowed 25-6 the succeeding week
end. Aaron, Lembeth, Gillette and
Damron came through with touch
downs and Feaney added the extra
point.
Herb Lee made his spectacular
run on blocked kick against CAL
exico in the championship game
and Bob Burke and Forrest Napier
added to the Spartan total in the
Escondido game with spectacular
touchdown runs on passes from
Calvin Aaron.
When Smith caught the extra
point pass that brought FL Centro
southern California title at the
expense of Escondido, the Spartans
closed their most successful season
in school history, a season that
saw them Surmount supposedly
insurmountable obstacles and over
come seemingly hopeless odds.

Match Play
Starts This
Week End

Late qualifiers in the club
championship and Directors
Trophy tournaments at the
Barbara Worth country club
slipped under the wire
Thursday and pairings for match
play will be announced Friday.
First round of match play is slated
for Saturday and Sunday.
With the majority of qualifying
scores in, Mel Ferguson is almost
a certain winner of the medal.
He tied with Don Rex at rs and
won by a single stroke from Rex
in the playoff. Ferguson and Rex
were even coming to the last hole
where Mel knocked in six-foot
putt for birdie three and the
medal.
New handicaps, based on rounds
played during the last month,
will be determined at the same
time as the pairings and will be
announced Friday.
Backers of Don Rex grew con-
fident this week that he would
retain the championship title after
he turned in a series of low sew
enty scores that are strokes lower
than any other players average.
Rex's putter has been hot as a
pistol and if it stays that way
he will be the favorite in the Cal
cutta event after the first round
The Calcutta will be held at the
second club smoker of the year
next week.
