Central jaycee cagers.
The Ell Centro team has shown
vast improvement in each of its
games this season and promises to
exhibit the smoothest brand of ball
of the season when the Arabs go
out on the floor Wednesday night.
Despite the fact Coach r. R. Tay-

In preliminary game, slated TO

team that made an enviable rec
ord last season, as the Junior col
lege varsity, will tangle with COM
mercial all star team from Brawley.
The Brawley team, managed by
Pat Williams, is a high scoring ball
club and will make an interesting
evening for the jaycee grads.
The alumni team will be strength
ened by Harvey Shirk, rated as one
of the greatest basketball players
to play for a valley team.
Shirk is a fine ball handler, an
expert shot from any position on
the floor and is one of the finest
defensive men seen in action on a
valley court.
Archie Flash" Drennen, who led
the jaycee scorers last season with
a total of more than 300 points in
thirty games, will also be included
on the iaycee roster.
Drennen was chosen on the all

Dave Ryerson. the man who never
took a shot, will play in one guard
position for the Arabs and Don
Withrow will fill in at the other
guard post.
The Brawley team has three
players who learned their basket
ball tricks in the midwest and, ac-
cording to advices from the north
end, have developed tricky Of
fense that will give the jaycee
grads a headache and a licking.

little girl telling her there is a
Santa Claus finally has a COM
panion piece.
II came from the pen of Sam
Breadon. the kindly, lovable, PEN
urious philanthropist who owns the
ST. Louis Cardinal baseball team.
and was written in answer TO a
letter from 10-year old Maurice
Northrup OF Des Moines. Iowa. in
which the middle western young
ster pleaded with Mr.. Breadon not
sell his little Northrup's not Mr.
Breadon's) idol, Dizzy Dean.
The editors letter to little Vir-
ginia has been clutching at the
heartstrings Of nation since 1897
: and / believe that Mr.. Breadon's
reply to the little farm boy will
clutch at the nations stomach for
just as long a period.
You no doubt have read both
letters-the one from the youngster
on Christmas eve asking that his

and the one from the big business
man. busy with thousand and one
life and death matters-but I be-
alieve they will bear repeating. espe-
scislly Mr. Breadon's. Here it is
the one I believe will successfully
defend the Noel Hauser trophey for
wears IN come.
You can rest assured, Northrup,
that unless we can make the
Cardinals a stronger club in trading
Dizzy Dean. we viii not do so.
Our only thought in considering a
trade for Dizzy is the strengthening
OF the Cardinals. With best wishes
for merry Christmas, I remain,

Christmas eve. not caring whether
Santa or Donner or Bitten even
came TO his roof, or whether there
was a thing in his stocking with
an appraisal value Of more than
$500 the next morning.
But Maurice Northrup won't al
ways be 10 years old He must
grow up sometime as we all do.
And some day he is going TO find
out what Mr.. Breadon probably
would have liked to have written
in answer to his request. To soften
that blow for Maurice to cushion
his head. so 10 speak, against that
day when his illusions come tum-
bling down like a building placed
in the hands of a reputable wreck
ing company. am going TO write
that Mr.. Breadon undoubtedly
wanted to send. This is it:
Dear Mr.. Northrup: SO Dizzy
Dean is your hero, eh. Well. why
don't you switch to Rasputin, he
was a nice guy. TOO.
Listen. Mr. Northrup, just what
business is it of yours if we sell
that Dean gent six times a day.
If you had had such headache
on your hands for seven or eight
years you would have shot him, not
sold him, long before this. Did you
see the price tag we put on that
bird. Mr.. Northrup? Two hundred
thousand bucks and more. We
might finish in seventh place with
out him, but we'd have the dough
and a lot more dough than pen
nant brings US in. Take my advice,
Mr.. Northrup. and stick 10 your
