FINEHURST, N. c. Nov. 18. U.P
This is the toughest day of the
toughest golf tournament in the
world.
For today, with the field narrow
ed to 65 by the qualifying examina
tions, players who hope to carry on
the fight for the $1,000 purse that
goes to the winner of the Profes
sional Golf Association tournament,
must meet and vanquish two foes
in 18-hole matches.
The 16 players who survive to-
day-and you may be sure that
more than one famous name will
bow to an unknown before the sun
goes down beyond the pines-will
go into 36 hole battles on the NOR
row, with the finalists coming to
grips on Sunday.
The draw for today, which was
made after the 80 low qualifiers
had been seeded, with defending
champion Johnny Revolta on top
and medaliSt Fay Coleman on the
bottom, promised many fine match
es. One of the best should be be-
tween Leo Mallory, winner OF the
Nassau open last winter, and Henry
Picard, the Chocolate Soldier" from
Hershey, Pa, and co-favorite for
the title. Other high class pairings
pitted Tommy Armour, former Brit

Fri. Ga m e

A weary but determined Brawley
high school football team dragged
through a short workout yesterday
afternoon in preparation for their
game against the strong Calexico
Bulldogs Friday night.
To retain their last chance to
finish in a tie for first place the
Wildcats must defeat Coach Gov
ington's charges. The CaleXicans,
however, are also anxious to emerge
victorious in the game so they may
enter the final game of the season.
Thanksgiving day, on even terms
with the Ell Centre Spartans.
The CaleXico team has shown q
brilliant array OF passing and run
ming plays in practice thus far in
the week and experts who have
watched the Bulldogs perform in
practice sessions are giving the Bor-
der City lads the edge in the odds.
BraWley may be without the
services Of its star halfback, Glenn
Fowler. as he was injured in the
El Centre game last week.
The Calexico lineup will be in
tact for the tilt, according to Coach
Ed Covington.

The Yuma team is one of the

made creditable showing in spite
Of the ilandicaps.

BY BURDETTE KINNE
Post-Press Sports Editor

Midget racing, one of Imperial
Valleys favorite sports, will make
its last stand of the 1886 season at
the El Centro speedway Sunday aft
ernoon.
One Of the outstanding programs
of the year has been planned by Of
ficials to wind up a brilliant racing
season in blaze of glory.
The feature attraction of the aft
ernoon will be the racing duel be-
tween Hobart Herrick and Hardin
Young, vino will be fighting it out
in both main events, in a last-day
effort to clinch the years cham
pionship.
At the moment Herrick boasts q
two point lead but Young, who halls
from Brawley, is confident his
speedy car will end the reign Of the
Seeleyite and boom him into first
place and the valley title.
When the two leading speed
demons and four or five other val
ley cars start Zooming their tiny
machines around the oval in an
effort to grab first, second and
third spots, race fans will see the
fastest and most exciting event wit
messed in the valley, an event which
will close season of brilliant rae
ing by group of brilliant drivers.
90
Now that football season in the
valley is about completed the atten-
ton of the year-round sport fan is
turning to basketball.
Basketball, which is fast becom-
ing one of CALIFORNIA; most closely
followed sports, is destined to make
another great forward stride in the
valley this year.
Last season, under the supervision
of Coach w. S. Taylor of Central
high school, commercial league
was formed.
Six teams, sponsored by various
merchants in Ell Centro, took part
in the league and as a result sport
fans trekked to the high school gym
twice a week to witness a schedule
of fast, hard fought cage games.
This season, with the increased
interest in the sport, Ell Centro
should be able to support eight
commercial league teams.
Coaches w. S. Taylor and Bob
Erskine of Ell Centro high, have
consented to supervise the league
ana serve as officials and advisers
of the organization.
This writer is of the opinion that
basketball enthusiasts of El Centre
should get together Immediately TO
map plans for commercial league
so they can get the loop underway
by the middle of December,

Speaking of basketball the Noun

we're defeated, the small mountain
chool made a creditable showing

p on the crack "Y" team 14-0.
There is soma talk of inviting the

The Viking running attack, while

At the El Centre practice field,
however. things were not working
SO smoothly. The Spartan run

one the other evening, when Bess
said she didn't believe in mind,
reading.
"I'll read your mind" Suzanne
chuckled. Lets see, this is the
year 1886. I'll tear up this piece
of paper into slips, and write all
the numbers of the next 10 years,
'37, '3S, '39, and so on, up to 1916.
I'll write one number on each
slip, fold it, and put all Of them
on this pan"
Suzanne scrubbed away and
tossed the slips onto a pie tin.
Now choose one, Bess, and
the number will tell the year when
the last of us here will be married.
I'm not saying who will be the
last one! Don't tell me the num-
Der, but go into a huddle and show
1t to all the others. I'll guess by
reading your mind"
When the huddle was over, SUI

little youth lasts, but when the

around the prosperous spinSter,
and she sees herself replaced in
the business world by younger
women, the possessions she has
been able to acquire in the "fat"

for the devotion Of her own family.
For, in spite Of everything, nor
NAL families do care for each
other, and blood is lots thicker
than water.
In the heydey Of her youth,
the independent bachelor girl has
it all over the young girl who

Developing the
Bust
By DONNA GRACE

The following is q letter from
a young girl, and without using
her real name, I will print 1T IN
theIcolumn, as I feel there are a
great many girls who have reason
to be interested in the subject.
Dear Donna Grace:
II am a girl Of almost 20 and
I think, about as good looking as
the average girl. am medium
height and have dark naturally
curIv hair and white smooth skin
with as much color as I care to
have.
UNDERWEIGHT
II am, / suppose. under weight
for my size. I am S feet, S inches
and weigh 1O6 pounds, but that Is
quite satisfactory, as I don't want
to be fat. The one thing that
troubles me terribly is that / have
no bust development. The slight
contour / have is so small that I
am what I call flat.
"Up to the time was II, / used
to wear q very tight underwalst
that I though was necessary to
keen the bust from being too
large, but / haven't worn it since.
as noticed all Of the Hollywood
stars and the really popular girls
have round and rather full buSts.
81 feel like a freak and implore
vou tn tell me what to do, Miss
Grace, please. ALMA
Dear Alma:
When you tell me- your
height and what you weigh, I
am not surprised to hear that
your bust is underdeveloped. You
are quite underweight and 1t Is
very difficult to increase the size
of the bust when one Is trying 10
keep the weight down, and this
is always true when the bust mas
never been developed.
You must begin to increase your
weight even if you put on much
more weight than you wish. You
can easily reduce after you have
developed your bust.
The circulation must be stimu-
lated in those parts so as to pro
mote glandular activity. Then
there are certain exercises that
act directly on these parts. Swim
ming is one Of the best. Tennis
will also bring the muscles into
play,
There Is q regular routine that
will not give you here, but you
may have IL without charge, and
I believe you will find It helpful.
Ask for the Bust Treatment and
enclose q stamped, self.addreSSed
envelope. Address Donna Grace,

thought he had too much power:
But the American woman is still
going full steam ahead, onward

This is particularly true OF the
American Spinster, who, not so
long ago, filled the comic strips

tionS. Today she seems to be
getting more out Of life than her
married sister, if the matron has

Expresses Envy
At least this is the feeling OF
several OF my married women cor
RESPONDENTS, who have written to
this column expressing their envy
of the freedom and prosperity OF
their unmarried women relatives.
One letter will answer, as an j.
luStration:
ssDear Miss Fairfax:
"My sister and I were expert
atenOgraphers and typiStS. We
had our own office in q business
building, and all the work that we
could handle with the assistance
Of three girls. We had nice apart
Sr1ent. and a grand time.
"Then 1 fell in love. / sold out
my half of the business to my SIS
ter, and married . nice man, but
one who will never make any
money. He's deficient in tact,
changes his job frequently, and 1
have a terrible time to make ends
meet.
81 wear my sisters old clothes,
dress my children out Of them,
too, and take gifts Of money from
her. While she means to be kind
this is gall and NORWOOD to me.
"It seems to me that the un-
married woman with an indie
pendent income has the best Of 1t
these days. l love my husband
and adore my children, but l hate
the Sordid conditions of my life.
GOLD CLOTHES"
Before women secured economic
independence, there was no more
pitiful figure in the world than
the unmarried woman who lived
as an unpaid drudge under the
roof of some relative. Happily,
those days have passed, and a
woman can now stand alone II she
prefers a life of single bleSsednesS.
It's all right as long as even a
