climaxing a day of celebration in
the border city
FL Centro took over the scoring
duties early in the first quarter to
take 1910 lead before the period
was half completed.
The Arabs Won the toss and elect
ed to receive. Cooper, tackle, took
the opening kickoff and was downed
on the El Centre 80. Three line
plays failed to gain so Gene Wag-
oner punted to Brawley's 80. Kreu-
ger broke through guard for 10
yards on the first play from Scrim-
mage but Finley fumbled on an at
tempted line buck.
Hartzell recovered the bobble on
the Brawley As yard line. Wagner
lost eight yards on bad pass from
center. He made two off tackle,
then fakeo pass on the next play
and romped is yards to the Brawley
38.
Griffith smashed to the 80 Wag-
oner faded back on the next play,
scanned the field for receiver and
then fired perfect pass into the
arms of Carr who slipped across
the goal line unmolested. Griffith
failed to punch over the extra
point.
Ell Centro'S second score came
when Griffith faded back to the
El Centro 10, started to run and
then turned suddenly to toss
pass to Wagner on sleeper" play.
Wagner took the pigskin in stride
and romped 80 yards down the side
lines to score. The conversion failed.
Opening the second quarter, how
ever, the Brawley team began to
click. Taking the ball on their own
40 after an exchange of kicks the
Warriors moved so yards down the
field to score. Lewis went over
from the one yard line. El Centre
was offside on the conversion play
giving Brawley the extra point.
On the first play of the final
quarter Raine dropped back to the
Ell Centro II yard marker and rifled
a bullet pass into the arms of Lewis
who scampered across the goal line
for the winning touchdown. Bailey
split the uprights with perfect
place kick for the extra point.
Ell Centre tried desperately to
win the game in the fourth period,
calling on every trick play in their
bag of tricks, but the Brawley team
was not to be denied. They batted
down passes. smeared end runs and
plugged up the center of the line.
Martin Weiss played the outStand-
ing game of the day. His brilliant
defensive play and accurate block
ing made both FL Centro scores
possible and Martin made more
than two-thirds of the tackles be-
hind the line of scrimmage.

Bout Will
Deter mine
New Champ

Tonight Herman Graves
gets his chance. For tonight,
under the arc lights at the
Ell Centre athletic cl u b
arena, only one man-Jack
Morrissette of Brawley-will stand
between FL Centros Dark Destroy
er and the middleweight champ
ionship of Imperial Valley.
Ten weeks ago. in the same
ring, Graves saw referee Bill Tack
EFT raise the right hand Of Nor
rissette and give the title to the
smiling slugger from Brawley. To-
night, unless the boxing experts
are wrong, there Will be a differ
ent story.
Graves has fought eight battles
since losing the valley title to Nor
issette and has emerged victorious
every time.
MoriSsette has also built up an
impressive record. however, VIM
ming all his fights but one. He
dropped a decision to Ed Aune.
light heavyweight champ of the
IdCl4lC COdol. last WEEK. Aune
besides boasting four years of ex-
perience outweighed the Brawley
fighter 25 pounds.
Willard Big Boy" Hogue, slug
ging Jacumba twin, will again in
wade the lightweight ranks tonight
when he tangles with Joe Grande
Of San Diego.
Grande, who dropped a close
decision to Sylvester Lucio early
in the year, IS a much improved
fighter and will give the twin a
lot of trouble. His weight advan-
tage may prove too big a handi-
cap for Willard TO overcome but
the twin is confident he will leave
the ring with another victory add
ed to his long string of wins.
Jolting Joe Villegas will meet
Jimmie Lyons of San Diego in the
sixth battle and Ezy Flowers will
trade blows with Chet Naples
-Four other flashy bouts are sche-
duled in the preliminary spots.

Bench
Warming
By BURDETTE KINNE
Post-Press Sports Editor

Proving that it takes a good num-
ber of setbacks to discourage a
sports writer, I will pick this weeks
winners for the benefit of those
persons who carefully study my Sc
lections and then bet on the other
teams:
Calexico high school will move
into first place at least temporarily,
tonight with a lop-sided victory
over a game but outclassed Holt
vile eleven. The Bulldogs will run
up the highest score made against
the Viking squad this season.
Ell Centro high will again make a
lot of yardage in the center of the
field against the Wildcats but when
the going gets tough in scoring ter
ritory the Spartan attack will bog
down. Late in the third period the
Wildcats will begin drive of their
own, a drive that will NOT fall
short Then tossing passes in all
directions the Spartans will see
their hopes go glimmering midway
in the final period when Brawley
man runs back an intercepted pass
for a touchdown.
Tulane will score a three touch
down win over Georgia and Louis
lana State will knock over Auburn
1877. Auburn will be unable to cope
with the Staters brilliant passing
attack.
Dartmouth will continue a high
ly successful season with a COM
paratively easy win over Cornell
and Duquesne will run wild to
slaughter Carnegie Tech.
Oregon will outsmart California
in the first half but the Bears will
rally in the second half of the tilt
to pull out one touchdown win.
Nebraska will surprise the experts
with a l4-0 win over the strong
Pittsburgh team Nebraska will
carry too much power in the line
and in the backfield for the Pitts
burgh club.
Notre Dame, twice defeated, will
pull out one of their good games Of
the season and whip the Army by
touchdown. The game will be
hard fought throughout packed with
spectacular football.
Stanford, improving with each
game, will trim Oregon State in a
game that will be a battle of Of
fenses. U.CL.A. will continue its
victory march with a win over
Washington State but Washington
will uphold the reputation of the
northern state with a victory over
the JoneSmen.
Brawley high school football team
has the distinction of having on its
roster, the only man who ever stop
ped in the middle of game, took
off his helmet and combed his hair.

An optimistic Holtville high grid
team will invade the Calexico
bowl tonight at p m. to at
tempt to break into the win column
at the expense of the defending
champions.
The vikings pan to throw cau-
ton to the winds tonight in an eff
fort to rout Coach Covington's
charges. Noval Walker announced
the Holtville backs will fill the air
with passes and take their chances.
Walker was certain his charges
could stop most of CaleXico's thrusts
and in the meantime he hopes his
revamped offense will be strong
enough to push over a couple of

corners of the Central field.
They worked against Brawley
plays and then spent short while
trying their offense against Braw-
ley defensive style.
After two hours of this strenuous
scrimmage the Spartans breezed
around the quarter-mile track and
into the gym, prepared to go to
Brawley to attempt to lower the
boom ON the Wildcat eleven, a
task that will prove the Central
gridders' toughest assignment of
the season.
Brawley is prepared to stop the
Ell Centro team. They have con-

Madrid Fighting to Continue without
Festivities.
MADRID, December q R.-The
crash of enemy shells in the trenches
northwest of the Spanish capital to-
day foreshadowed a grim Christmas
tide for the city's Socialist defenders.
Militiamen at the front wistfully
expressed the hope some OF them
might be allowed to return to Madrid
for the day. but the ever-present fear
Of insurgent attack on the strategic
communications with Ell Escorial held
them to their posts.
The government estimated Is shells
fell in the heart Of the capital yester-
day during long-range bombardment
in which insurgent artillery CEN
tered its fire on the 100000 Tele-
phone Building, tallest structure in
the city.
Little War Activity.
Although several persons in the
streets were injured by the tumbling
masonry. young girls busted themselves
collecting gifts for the "militia's
Christmas"
The presents obtained from Madrid's
already tried civilian population con-
sisted mostly of old clothes, books
and much-needed shoes.
Cigarettes and cognac will be freely
distributed on "Buena Noche" to the
soldiers in the trenches.
Except for the intermittent artil-
lery duel there was little activity in
the bitter cold OF the front lines.
