n YICE, France.-If he SO wished
nj President Roosevelt might
" point to the Promenade de-
q Anglais in Nice as a worthy
grandfather for his w. P. A. projects.
The promenade is a beautiful street
Beginning at Castle Hill, q finger Of
the Maritime Alps that juts out into
the Mediterranean, the wide and
sweeping ~ miles of the promenade
provide the face that Nice turns
toward the sea. 1t is a little like
Michigan boulevard in Chicago with
great buildings on one side and the
blue Of the water on the other.
Idea Of the English.
Oddly enough it was the English
who conceived the promenade more
than hundred years ago. 1t seems
Nice was having difficulty about that
time with something they called un-
employment. The best minds of the
resident English suggested that they
put the jobless to work by building
for the future, and the promenade
was the Job on which they were
launched. Hence the name-Prome-
made des Anglais.
Today there is probably no more
cosmopolitan street. Any day of any
season men and women of France
America, England, Italy, even Japan,
may be seen sitting and summing them
selves while they read, or smoke, or
have their aperitifs at one of the
hundreds Of tables along the prone
made.
That is what 100 years have done.
Begun as a place where people with
out jobs might work. today the prom
enade is where people with jobs can
rest. Certainly 1t Is a playground for
the world, Utopia Of leisure, a spot
where politics and economics are
merely words and even then are sell
dom used.

But something happens in the night.
In the morning. when you wake up,
things are different. You peer out
your train window. Instead of seeing
q country that is fiat but picturesque,
great jagged mountains have sp .ung

rusty red and towering hills that are
made up of one monster gray rock.
Occasionally through a gorge you get

Perhaps you have peered for an
hour and then you suddenly realize
you are in a land where sight means
more than sound. where no one has
said q word, where train wheels have
lost their voice. where life has slowed
to have that second look.
For while you stare at the great
wall of the Maritime Alps on one side
Of the train, and then at the worlds

and say nothing. To see is enough.

perial Valley invitational tourna-
ment starting Friday afternoon.
Despite the fact nearly every val
ley C team has been seen in action
experts are still undecided as TO
which is the strongest team in the
loop.
Imperial and Holtville cage teams
appear to be far stronger than last
season and both clubs have to be
figured in the championship battle.
Calipatria, though the Hornet
Eighties lost to Mountain Empire,
will be tough to beat and Brawley
will have its usually strong team.
Calexico is an unknown quantity
but reports indicate the Border City
crew will have a high scoring club
but a squad that will be weak on
defense.
Ell Centro lghtweights are favor
ed but Coach Bob Erskine rates his
team the sixth best in the tourney.
The Spartan midgets have been
working out more than a month
and are gradually rounding into a
strong ball club, however.

Scribes Unanimous
In Naming Three to
All American Rate

NEW YORK, Dec. Is. U.P)-Three
players-Larry Kelley Of Yale, Gay
nell Tinsley of Louisiana State, and
Ed Widseth Of Minnesota-were
unanimous choices for all-America
football honors in 1886, according to
a consensus of twelve major myth
cal eleyens made today by the
United Press.
All dozen selectors put these play
ers in first-string positions and
each of them thus gained total of
l20 points, awarded on the basis
of ten for first team position, five
for second and three for third
team.
The consensus was taken from
the following selections, some Of
whom named three teams, some
two and others only one: United
Press, Associated Press, Internation-
al News Service, Christy Walsh's
All-America board, the All-Colle-
giate team, Newspaper Enterprise
association, North America News
paper Alliance, New York World
Telegraph, New York Sun, Sports
Illustrated, Golfers and Central
Press.

Jenkins began to look over the field
with the growing conviction that
an outsider will upset the dope.
Rex Monday had narrow escape
in his up victory over young Dick
Lott
Lott put up strong opposition to
be only one over par going out and
missing a short putt on the ninth
green that would have put him one
up on the champion. With both
playing near par golf they came
to 18 with Lott one down. Dicks
second was short of the green and
his approach barely caught the
apron. Rex, playing his third from
a nasty lie, went over the green.
Dicks fourth shot almost holed
out. He had sure 5 and what
looked like a win until Rex played
his chip shot that hit the back of
the cup and bounced in for 4.
Two matches are yet to be played
in the first round of the champion
ship. Barney Trolley Car" Burke
is slated to take on Jersey Birch
field, Ell Centro's fighting fireman,
Tuesday afternoon. At the same
time, Wayne Elvander will play Les
Rogers.
Pairings for the second round
Matches
Rex VS.. the winner Of the Burke
Birchfield match; Jack Strobel VS..
Dave Taylor; Russell Nance VS.. Red
Hensler; Jenkins VS.. the winner OF
the Elvander-R Rogers match.
The Strobel-Taylor match should
be a ding dong battle. Strobel, for
many years championship cahbre
golfer, has probably provided more
upsets than any other valley links
man. A. former winner of. the
Brawley Lettuce tournament, Jack
can be counted on for tight match
play. He is not as long off the tee
as in past years, but his short work
and competitive heart make him a
dangerous opponent for any golfer.
In Taylor, however, Strobel meets
Little David the original giant
killer. Taylor, conqueror of Will
loughby, is capable Of hot streaks
that may smother the veteran. He
is long off the tees and deadly
putter under fire, as demonstrated
in his match with the Calexico star.
Hensler, "The Man Who Beat
Ferguson, is the real dark horse
of the tournament. AS steady and
dependable as the planets, Red only
needs a few openings to provide
another upset. Nance. capable of
fine golf. will have to be on top of
his game to insure berth in the
semi-finals.

meet as the teams are more evenly
matched. Ell Centro, which has
dominated the tourney in past years
has only mediocre team this sea-
son but Calexico, Brawley and Cali
patria have rounded out compara-
lively strong ball clubs.
Calexico is the fayorite team in
the loop as the Border City team
will have four lettermen back from
last seasons squad.
Brawley, with two lettermen,
looms as a dangerous foe and Cali
patria with three regulars will be
a tough obstacle to hurdle.
Ell Centro high, loser in its only
game of the season to Mountain
Empire, is given only an outside
chance to take top honors in the
tourney.
The Spartans will have two re-
turning lettermen, OGuin and
Smith, in the starting lineup but
neither boy has shown lot of stuff
in practices.
Smith is good shot under the
basket and a capable ball handler
but has failed to show a great deal
of defensive ability. OGuin handles
the ball well but his basket making
ability is still a question mark.
Coach Taylor has drilled the
Spartans all week and has mapped
two more intensive workouts in an
attempt to round out a scoring at
tack that will bring Central its
third tournament title.
