OF promising Trojan Sophmores pit
their speed, power and brains
against the husky Oregon State col
lege footballers in the opening game
of the season for both teams.
Not since the days Of Warburton

such an outstanding team. The
showing made by the Trojans in

Howard Jones and his gang Is
about to make a comback.
The Trojans, with SCHNEIDER

or four touchdown margin Sat
urday afternoon and when the
last gun is fired the Southern
California victory song will echo
acl'oss the stadium with more

upset Of the season by trimming
the highly touted midwesterners.
Stanford U. will open a dismal

will individually mold his string
of green backs into scoring
machine capable of whipping
Calexico, Brawley and Holtville.

that word right down his throat.
In fact, the odds were TO that
the vast throng which viii pay
more than $250000 to see th2
scheduled 15-round bout will wit
ness a knockout-with Ettore the
victim. He would be shufflin Joe's
25th kayo victim.
Ettore IS one of the most pop
ular fighters the city of brotherly
love ever knew, largely because
Of three triumphs over Leroy
Haynes, the Philadelphia Negro
who stopped Primo Camera twice.
This opportunity is responsible to
some extent for tonight's gate
which will be the largest for box
ing in the city's history, excepting
only the first Dempsey-Trpney
title bout.
Ettore never has been an i'm
pressive fighter during his five
year professional career. He is the
same age as shuffling Joe, %.
In Ettore's ID bouts he has reg
istered only Is kayoes, and most OF
them were against virtually un-
known scrappers. His main asset
is a troublesome style and plenty
of stamina. He comes in bobbing
and weaving, hoping to eyade blows
until he is in close.
Then he gets busy, hammering
body and head with short hooks
and uppereuts. He stays in close
as long as he can, riding his op-
ponent and tying him up.

Calvert Moody and Donald w.
Ketchen. vice principle at Central
union, are making plans to launch
an active campaign to enlist the
aid of Imperial Valley football
fans to make the grid season in
Ell Centre an outstanding success.
Don Ketchen announced Mon
day night he planned to make
season tickets available to El Cen
tro fans at six downtown stores.
Clements Drug Store, NJ. o. King,
I. v Hardware, Christensen's. Har-
ner's pharmacy and Valley Drug.
Several high school students will
canvass the town in the sales
campaign in an effort to surpass
all previous records in the num-
Der Of season tickets sold.
The tickets will admit holders
to six valley football games played
in El Centre and 10 all FL Centro
high school basketball and base
ball games.
Ketchen announced that seating
arrangements nave been made for
the opening game Of the season
Friday night against Coaehella.
More than 5000 seats will be avail
able for the fans. A public ad-
dress system has been installed
to aid the fans in following each
play of the game. The new ad-
dress system TO be used is up to
date, vast improvement over last
years system.
Programs will be printed for
the game giving the names and
numbers Of the players on both
squads.
The high school team is rapidly
rounding in to shape for the open
ing game of the season but Taylor
is still working on his backfield
candidates. The line, composed of
lettermen, promises TO be the out
standing forward wall turned out
at Central in several years.
Juan Kirkpatrick is the leading
backfield candidate according to
Taylor. Juan is fast, is a good
pasSer and is the most consistent
punter on the squad.
Feeney and Forest Napier have
an inside track on the halfback
positions and Burke looks Like
the starting full though Vernon
Baker has shown up well on the
second string.
Feeney, who has been playing
the spinner back in scrimmage
may be moved into the blocking
back job for the Coachella game
to give Napier a crack at the
spinner post. Both are powerful
boys and may develop into an
outstanding pair of offensive and
defensive ball players.
Burke and Baker both look good
backing up the line but at the
present time Burke, has an edge
and will probably get the call Fri
day night.
