ciaD A powerful, fast charging
Phoenix junior college football
team outmaneuvered a vastly im-
proved El Centre J. c. eleven Sat-
urday night 10 score a 23-l3 VIC
tory and maintain their undefeat-
ed record.
The FL Centre team, noted for
its weak offense, surprised the
Arizona team with a first quarter
touchdown which threatened for a
short while to send the Phoenix
team to its first defeat.
Mclaughlin ran the opening
kickoff to the Phoenix 45 line
Cotton Gilliland flipped a pass to
Blakely who zigzagged to the Phoe-
nix 10 yard line. Griffith banged
off tackle for six yards, Gilliland
plunged to the one, and Griffith
went over for a touchdown on an
off-signal play. The attempted
place kick was low
Phoenix backs. then took the
situation in hand and pushed the
jaycees steadily toward scoring
territory but the Central forward
wall tightened and took the ball
on downs as the first quarter end
ed. Deep in their own territory
the Arabs tried running play but
a bad pass from center gave the
Phoenicians a safety.
Taking the bali on their own
forty yard line after the kickoff,
the Phoenix club began a sus-
tanned drive goalward. Alexander
scored for Phoenix midway in the
second quarter from the four yard
line
Phoenix offense began to click
smoothly in the second half and
ran over two touchdoWns before
the end of the third period. The
Bears added two more points on
safety midway in the fourth
quarter
Leading 1876 with but one min
ute to play the Bears opened up
with a passing attack in an at
tempt to score fourth touchdown
but Mike Mclaughlin snagged the
ball and streaked down the field
for a touchdown behind perfect
interference. Gilliland kicked the
extra point.

SPORTS
PARADE
BY Henry McLemore

NEW YORK, Nov. 2. Quits not
June or January and Bing Crosby
is 5000 miles away, but there is
definite scent of roses in the air
up on the Fordham campus.
This may seem strange at first,
being as the Fordham campus is
the home of the Ram. which is
nothing more than a well-muscled
billygoat and far removed from
roses in natural aroma.
But it is the Ram-the football
team, rather - which is respon-
sible for the odor or roses that
you catch in walking about the
big stone school in the Bronx.
And they are Rose Bowl roses
the big, golden out season ones
which every football team wants
to pick from the sports garden.
Fordham's Rams set their hearts
on the pelf and prestige that goes
with the Rose Bowl game early in
the year-in autumn practice ac-
tually-and everybody said they
were crazy, what with a suicide"
schedule that listed S.M.U., st.
Mary's, Pitt, Purdue, and Georgia,
among others. Well. the first three
6amed, tough babies all of them.
have come and gone, and Fordham
hasn't been licked yet. Purdue
comes next week and if the Rams
get by that one they'll be set, be-
cause Georgia has so little the boys
and girls down Athens way are
chasing their "cokes" at Costa's
with straight aspirin, and N. Y. U.
is not much stronger than the
Violets its team is named after.
Fordham's record is not perfect.
1t could get no better than a Moth
ing-to-nothing standoff with Pitt
Saturday, but here in the east
where we know what those Pitts
are we give a team that ties 'em
a IA to o moral victory and sent
it to the head of the class. The
Fordham followers felt this way
after the double zero tie, too, for
with the final whistle they surged
whooping on the field to uproot the
goal posts and give off a snake
dance. OF course they may have
just used the goal posts for an ex-
cuse to let off steam. for it was
whale of football game they sal
through. The east hasn't seen {
game to match it for sheer
toughnesS in a long time. Wher
those lines came together you could
hear the impact in the farthermost
reaches Of the Polo Grounds.
Fordham Tough
AS tip TO the Rose Bowl selec-
tor allow me to tell them that if
the folk in California want to
watch a team that is big, tough
ornery, and powerful stubborn, then
they won't go wrong on the Rams
of Fordhan. That's just what they
are. don't know if they'd score
on their Rose Bowl opponent if
they stayed in California until
April, for they are not what you
would term terrors on the offense.

Warming
By BURDETTE KINNE
Post-Press Sports Editor

One terrific right smash from the
shoulder of Jack "valley-champ'
Morrissette, of Brawley, wrote finis
to Joe Hawkins fistic career Thurs
day night at the Ell Centro athletic
club. After a round of llstless
prancing Morrissette started punch
from the floor back of the left field
bleachers. By the time it passed
home plate it was moving with the
ponderous speed Of falling church
steeple.
Hawkins, failing to notice the
breeze caused by the sweeping
blow, caught the impact of the
punch flush on the chin and
promptly Wilted to the floor to
watch the towel float into the
ring from his corner.
Hawkins was later found in the
dressing room sitting disconsolately
in one corner with an "Ill never
fight again" look on his face His
lip was bleeding from the punch in
the second round and welt was
forming under his heart where he
stopped one of MorrisSette's jabs in
the opening stanza.
The condition of the navy fight
er after his brief tieoff with the
valley champ demonstrated TO fans
that the Graves -Morrissette fight
slated for the Ell Centro arena in
two weeks will be slugging bat
tie of the first order.
MorriSsette has put on several
pounds since he won the title sev-
eral weeks ago and has developed
a more potent punch. His defen-
sive fighting has also improved and
BraWley fight enthusiasts are con-
fident Jack will win clear deci-
sion over the Ell Centre Bomber in
the return bout.
Graves, however, has been look
ing forward to the chance to regain
his title ever since that night when
the judges decision gave the title
to Morrissette.
Matchmaker Noel johnson an
nounced he would match the win
ner of the Graves -Morrissette tilt
against the state champ in a bout
the following week.
Imperial Valley fight fans have
long wondered why the Hogue
twins, Big Boy and Shorty are such
outstanding fighters. Shorty Hogue
so-called because he weighs two
pounds less than his twin brother
demonstrated one reason, and per-
haps the most important one, Fri
day night on the Ell Centro high
gridiron when his team, the Noun
tain Empire eleven, played a heavier
Ell Centro B squad.
Shorty, one Of the mainstays of
the Mountain Empire team, in
jured muscle in his shoulder
early in tho first quarter. Every
time ne raised his arm a sharp
pain shot through his back, a pain
that would send most players to
the bench wreathing in agony,
but Shorty merely gritted his
teeth and remained in the game.
Hogue was unable to carry the
ball because of the injury but he
played brilliant game as block
ing back. Again and again his per-
feet blocks cleared the way for
substantial gains
As Shorty hobbled from the field
after the final gun had sounded
the referee strode up to me and
said, There, by gad, is the gamest,
grittiest kid I've seen on football

the Wildcats last week. the Calex-
leans appear to be three touch
downs stronger than the Spartans.
Coach w. S. Taylor of Central
Union, announced Sunday he would
concentrate on pass defense all
week in order to stop the aerial
attack of the Bulldogs which has
routed Holtville and Brawley.
Brawley high and Holtville will
tangle on the Brawley gridiron
in a game that may decide the
cellar championship of the loop.
Though Brawley is rated stronger,
the Vikings will show much bet
ter brand of ball Friday night and
should Walkers aerial thrusts
click the Wildcats may suffer their
second defeat of the season.
Imperial Valley press., 1936-11-02

But when they hand the ball to
the other side and say AL right
you take the thing a while and
see what you can do" they take
few backward steps.
In go their clesats, up go their
backs, and nothing short of the
bad place and high water moves
them. If you don't believe they
make you sweat blood to get
yard, ask those Pittsburghers. The
Pitts made something like 137 all
afternoon and they must have lost
a pound for each one of them.
The No. Fordham gent, in
sofar as pure stubborneSs is con-
cerned, is one Alexander Wojceich-
owicz, a center by trade. He's
harder 10 move than he is TO pro-
nounce. He may miss the All-Am-
erica because of lack of space to
list him, but he'll never miss it be-
cuse of lack of ability.

Not even to Shadow the Weasel"
asked Mrs. Peter slyly. Shadow, you
know, has no friends outside his own
family, for Shadow hunts and kills for
the pleasure Of hunting and killing,
not merely for food, as do others.
Peter grinned. Not even to Shadow.
Not today, anyway. Perhaps tomorrow
I may feel differently There comes
Reddy Fox down from the Old Pasture,
and he is heading this way. Somehow
I am glad to see him. You know,
Reddy isn't such bad fellow" said
he.
Mrs. Peter gave Peter such q look
peter Rabbit, you're crazy!" she de-
clared. Here comes one of our worst
enemies and you say you are glad to
see him. What has got into you to-
day?"
Peter grinned once more. 'It Is
funny, isn't it?" said he. But that
Is the way I feel. 1t must be the day.
I've felt this way ever since the day
began. Don't you feel it, my dear?"
Mrs. Peter said nothing. She was
watching the approach of Reddy Fox.
Reddy came straight over to the dear
Old Briar-patch. He was looking very
fine this bright morning. His red coat
and white waistcoat were spotless. He
looked very much the gentleman. He
grinned as he looked into the dear
Old .Briar-patch and saw Peter and
Mrs. Peter. That grin was different
from his usual grin. It actually was
q pleasant grin. Little Mrs. Peter had
to admit it to herself. It was q friend
ly grin, and suddenly she herself felt
friendly.
"It is such . fine morning I just
couldn't stay at home" explained
Reddy. mo, I'm not hunting-just
making q friendly call. What's that?
You don't trust me? I don't blame
you, Peter. don't blame you one bit.
But you would be safe in doing it to-

who so often spoils my hunting, and

same way. She spoke about it just
before I left home. 1t must be some

Exactly what was saying to Mrs.

Peter. 1T must be the day. Yes, sir,
it must be the day. Somehow feel

Others did feel that way. Shortly
after Reddy went on his way Blacky

try to tease Peter. He saw Reddy Fox
in the distance and for once he had
only nice things to say about Reddy.
