lSpartans Meet Ia JoIIa Tonight
Central Out
To Avenge
TwoDefeats

FL Centre high school
Spartans will resume their
feud on the football with
the strong La Jolla Vikings
tonight starting at g p. m.
IN four games played against the
La JollanS El Centro has emerged
victorious only once while the
coast team has come out on top in
three engagements.
IN the last two meetings La Jolla
scored a 300 victory and a 60 tri-
umph. Tonight. however. the Spart-
ans vow the outcome viii spell a
different story.
Boasting the strongest forward
wall ever groomed at the FL Centro
school Taylor's charges will I'M
doubtedly stop many La Jolla
thrusts and the high school mentor
is reasonably certain the line will
be able to open gaping holes in the
Viking line to make a path Tor the
Spartan ball carriers.
After a week OF heavy drills and
savage scrimmage sessions Coaches
TAYLOR and Erskine have decided TO
start the varsity line composed Of
Aaron and Smith at ends. Voorting
and Lee at Tackles, Zinn and Chill
ders at guards, and Ballou at center.
The starting backfield will be,
fitzpatrick at quarter, Damron and
Napier at half backs and Burke at
full.
Although the Spartan bacbfield
has had little or no experience
against stiff competition. it is one
Of the speedieSt combinations in the
valley and may be able TO pull out
an upset win over the La JollanS.
Juan Kirkpatrick has looked good
in practice all week, making long
runs. tossing accurate passes and
bCOting out punts that were con-
sistently good for 40 yards or more.
Damron. Napier and Burke have
also shown power and speed during
the weeks practices.
Kenny Lambeth who made an i'm
pressive showing in last weeks game
as second string quarter. may not
be used in tonight's game as he is
suffering from a twisted ankle.
Bobby O'Guin has been moved up
to second string quarterback for the
game.
The second string line which
showed up well last week may get
a chance TO DO its stuff in tonight s
game in the latter part of the first
half to relieve the varsity members.
Taylor hopes to groom two COM
petent teams for this years games
in order to have a fresh team in the
tilt throughout the contest.
The high school mentor indicated
he would instruct his squad to run
PLAYS from TWO formations in to-
nights games, from single wing back
and from punt formation.
La Jolla, with only five returning
regulars, is rated as one OF the
teams to beat in the metropolitan
league. Their new coach, Percy
Allen. has rounded out a smooth
working team with fine defense
and a scoring punch that netted
the Vikings three touchdowns
against Redlands last week.

Post-Press Sports Editor


A small but enthusiastic crowd
at the Ell Centre Speedway
Thursday night witnessed the fastest
most exciting 40 lap race Of the
season.
The fans leaped to their feet on
the first turn as The cars fought
for positions and remained stand
ing throughout the race screaming
encouragement to their favorite
drivers.
So hot was the pace several cars
were forced from the event but the
fans failed TO notice the stragglers.
Their eyes were glued on the first
six cars battling neck and neck for
first place.
Bussie Busard. who took the lead
on the first lap, managed TO hold
his edge throughout the race, but
Herrick, Hansberger and Salmen
again and again threatened to slip
into the lead.
As the cars rounded the west turn
for the final lap, Fred Salmen fur
nished the fans with the most spec
tacular bit Of driving IN the race
Salmen. who had moved up from
eighth to fourth position. was fol-
lowing closely behind Herriek when
Hobe shot wide to attempt to 90
around Ransberger in second place.
Salmen Immediately took the rail
to sneak into third place and romp
home only a scant foot behind Bu-
sard and Hansberger.
When the final car whizzed past
the finish line the crowd stood a
round a short while discussing the
exciting events which occurred in
the race and as the fans filed out
of the speedway they were con
vinced they had witnessed the out
standing race Of the year.
90
Fight fans who hung around the
Brawley Eagles arena last Tuesday
night after the fights had been
postponed and watched the ANA
teurs go through their PAGES in
preparation for the bouts il Fl
Centro Friday, witnessed several
interesting battles.
The feature attraction Of the
evening was the Ely Flowers-Go
lila Man battle.
Flowers opponent, huge Negro
with ape-like arms. strange build
and jutting jaw, weaved in 10 meet
the Brawley heavyweight. Flowers
backed away, cautiously. The Cor
lila man, however, after giving Ely
a scare, lacked experience and
Flowers waded in TO give him q
severe beating.
Flowers poured on the steam. but
the Gorilla man was too tough.
Occasionally he would loon in an
awkward long swinging right that
would send Flowers seurrying to
the corner but most Of the time
he was trying to avoid the steady
tattoo of blows that exploded on his
face.
The battle demonstrated one sig
nificant point, however, in that
freak" fights hold a strong ap-
peal for fight fans. Amateur box
ing promoters would do well 10
consider the drawing power Of the
battler teamed with Ely. Unskilled
in science, but powerful and willing
10 fight. he could be counted OF
to make an interesting battle on
any valley card.

Point Iona

out of Holtville Fri d a y
morning and headed toward
San Diego where the Vik-
ings are slated to meet Point Iona

After a week of intensive prac-
tice during which pass offense
and defense were stressed, the
Vikings are given an even chance
to defeat the highly touted Point
LomanS.
The Holtville defense is as
strong as any team in the valley
but their offensive play is spotty.
Harlan, 252 pound center, is rap
idly rounding into one OF the best
defensive men on the squad and
Derrick, 200 pound tackle is a
tower Of strength at the tackle
position.
Thiesen, guard transferred from
Redlands, looks good on offense
ana Is q great dSSSg W tlIS US1iii
in backing up the line.
Walker and Woodbridge, regulars
from last years backfield, will
give the Point LomanS many an
xious moments with their accur-
ate passing and powerful line
plays. Walker appears to be one
of the outstanding backs III the
valley.
Point Iona boasts their most
powerful squad in several seasons
and is rated as the team to beat
in the San Diego metropolitan
league.

B. Busard
Wins 40Lap
Main Event

While an enthusiastic group of
midget race fans pranced about
screaming encouragement to nine
daredevil race drivers, Bussie Bu-
sard clamped his foot on the throt-
tie of his speedy auto to maneuver
the tiny car into first place in the
main event at the Ell Centro track
Thursday night.
Busard, driving the most brilliant
race ever witnessed on the Ell Cen
tro speedway, doomed into the cor
ners at top speed and opened up
on the stretches. In spite of the
fact he breezed around the oval
in record time, Billy Hansberger of
Yuma who took second place on the
second lap, again and again threat
ened to pass the San Diego driver.
Busards consistent driving, how
ever, was too much for Hansberger
to overcome and he had to be
satisfied with second place. Fred
Salmen was third, Herrick fourth,
Young fifth and Davis sitxh.
Car No. 8 went out on the first
lap, Douthitt was forced out on the
seventh with motor trouble, Roger
dropped out on the sixteenth and
Swarthout and Hetzel failed to start
the race.
Salmen, who started in eighth
place moved up steadily to take shird
place, doing an outstanding bit of
driving
Hobart Herrick held third place
until the 39th lap. On that round
he attempted TO go around Hans
berger. Salmen took advantage
of the chance to slip ahead OF
Herrick on the inside rail
Davis and Young, who started
near the front in the race could
not match the pace of the leaders
and as result fell back after the
first few laps.
Busard qualified with the best
time of the evening, annexed the
trophy dash and won a first place
in an elimination grind. Hans
berger, Herick and Salmen also won
elimination races.

That settles it," the judge
snapped. Yes, that settles it."
Sensing that the time had ar
rived for a decision, Jackson, Nc
Carthy and myself stood silent
Jackson took off his cap and held
it in his hand.
Then came those words, those
simple words, which soon were to
be flashed all over the length and
breadth of the United States:

tion of independence, Napoleon's
decision to leave Moscow. julius
Caesars decision to cross the Ru-
bicon, and Woodrow Wilson's 1917
request that the United States
enter the war.
But this was partially, if not
completely made up for, yester-
day when 1 was fortunate enough
to be on hand when Judge Kene-
saw Mountain Lands, with firm
ness which thrilled the little group
about him, announced that the
second game of the world series
between the Yankees and the Gil
ants was postponed because of
wet grounds.
There were three of us with
him-JOe Mccarthy, manage OF
the Yankees; Travis Jackson.
third baseman and field captain
of the Giants, and myself. And
III never forget that moment
when, standing deep in the out
field, the sharp wind tossing
his great shock of white hair
until it resembled wave break
ing On a beach, the judge drew
himself erect and said, slowly
and simply:
"There'll be no game today!
No, there won't be any game.
It's too wet"
Any man but the judge might
have been fooled by the weather;
might have failed to notice the
sodden condition of the Polo
Grounds. But Lands investigated
the stadium with a theroughness
that bespoke his long experience
on the bench. He never once
doubted but what the diamond
was wet, from the moment he
stepped into an ankle deep pud-
die back Of first base, until he
slipped on a field of mud while
giving third base line his undivid-
ed attention.
But-and I'll never forget the

ing the thrill of calling off a
World series game. He seemed to
sense that history was in the max
ing-and also a round of golf for
] himself in the afternoon-and
graciously allowed us to take part
! He not only asked the three OF
us if we didn't think the ground
was wet, but if it wasn't aWfully
wet. Now, he didn't have to do
that, because he was UP to his
pants cuff in a small lake at the
time of the question, and knew
! perfectly well that it was. But he
wanted us to feel as if our judg-
ment was just as good as nus
and that he respected it to the
! fullest.
1 was so flattered when he turn
ed to me, and with his piercing
eyes piercing through his shaggy
eyebrows, asked if 1 didn't think
it was mighty wet, that 1 barely
was able to reply.
ut sure is good and wet, Judge,
I managed to stammer. I'd say
it was mighty durn wet"
Good" he replied, his piercing
eyes still piercing. Good. You're
right. 1t is wet. Wet as can be-"
Then, pulling his feet from a
muddy patch, he questioned Nc
Carthy along the same lines. The
Judge is thorough Any other man
might have taken the fact that
his oyercoat was soaking, and his
feet wringing, as proof positive
But not the judge.
Surprlsed-and a bit flattered,

moment, then answered.

Of popping up constantly in this
column because he makes darn
good copy, breaks into print again
this week. I think the Kappa
brothers had better do something
about Girls; he's in a bad state.
He's so head over heels in love
that he's beginning to act definite
ly balmy. He went down to Iowa
City for a Homecoming weekend
year ago, and fell for luscious
bit of fluff from Chicago. I've
seen her, and I'll tell you right
now, she's as cute as she can be.
Well, Girls has been acting silly
ever since he came home, and he's
been getting worse by degrees. He
took time off from school to go
to Chicago and see her last week.
Now he's so goofy, he can't study,
he can't talk sense, he can't do
anything.
The other day Alice Short came
into a rear entrance of the library,
and found Girls near the door,
right where the cold air could hit
him. He had a text book and was
looking a bit dazed.
"What on earth are you doing
here?" Alice asked him. Girls came
out of the daze for a minute.
"I'm standing here where the
cold air can hit me so that I'll
have to keep my mind on what I'm
studying"
"How Gomez" queried AL, get
ting more interested. Girls sighed
and looked unhappy.
"Well," he said, eff go up
stairs and study in one of the read
ing rooms, I'll start to thinking
about HER and I won't get any
studying done at all. But if I
stand down here, those currents of
cold air will keep me from think
ing, and I'll have to keep my mind
on my book"
And so say, the Kappa brothers
had better take their dear mem
Der in tow! Personally, envy him.
