One-teacher: Showell, 93.6; st Mar
tin, 86.3; and Libertytown, 64. OF
the twenty-one schools in the coun-
ty, only one succeeded in bettering the
mark for February 1935-St Martin.
Much credit is deserved therefor.
In the list of three colored schools,
Pocomoke High is at the top with a
mark of 97.8; Berlin, 92.7; and Snow
Hill, 86.9. The general averages for
these schools also fell below that of
of February 1885, which was 90; for
this year 91.2.
In the other 26 colored schools the
effect of illness can be seen by COM
pairing the general averages for the
two years. For February 1935-8O.3;
for 100000. Only schools, Union
vile, Bishop, and Newark, went ahead
Of the 1885 average for 1886.

Basketball. favorite sport of the
midwest. is fast becoming one of
the valleys most popular sports.
Each year more fans nave become
interested in the game and as a
result commercial leagues have
been formed and the high school
loop has extended its basketball
season to two rounds of play.
In Centro and Brawley, where
the teams have fine floors on
which to play their games. the
high schools, jaycees and CONNER
cial organizations are turning out
better and better basketball teams.
In other towns of the valley,
however, where the basketball en-
thusiasts have to get out on dirt
court to play the game, interest is
still below par and the teams are
not playing the same outstanding
brand OF basketball that is shown
in Brawley and Ell Centro.

ened a two fisted assault on two
opponents, Bobby Jones and
Luke Hogan, Monday night to
advance to the finals of the
Los Angeles Golden Gloves
tournament.
In his first fight of the even
ing Graves made one OF the
most impressive shOwings in
the tournament. Jones, noted
for his punching ability, was
unable to land n blow on the
Negro and Graves pounded him
mcrcilessly 10 take every round
and unanimous decision. Jones
was on the floor in the second
and third cantos.
Luke Hogan tried desperately
to get at the Ell Centre Bomber
but Graves merely backed away
and peppered the Los Angeles
fighter with terrific rights and

four rounds and advance to
the finals of the tournament
where he will meet Rip Slade

Cage Call
At BrawIey

Forty-five athletes of all sizes and
descriptions answered the first call
to basketball practice at Brawley
high and Coach Marvin Clarke
drove the candidates through long
practice climaxed by hard scrim-
mage.
The Brawley mentor plans to weed
out the poorest players in a couple
of days and trim his squad to a
number he can handle.
A and G squad players made up
the group and Clarke was hearten-

their first time out.
Clarke will have three lettermen
from last years squad to work with

Decision on
Dizzy To Be
Made Wed.


NEW YORK, Dec. 8. (U.P = Dizzy
Dean will be traded by Wednesday
midnight or not at all, Branch
Hickey, vice-president of the st.
Louis Cardinals, said today as the
major leagues opened their annual
mid winter meetings.
"A week ago I thought we would
trade Dean" he said, "and I still
think so but it will have to be with
in the next two days"
The Pirates, Cubs and Giants are
the leading bidders in that order.
Hickey had three hour conference
yesterday with William Benswanger,
Pittsburgh president. Up to now
Rickeys price for his hurler has
been outlandiSh. But he has come
down and is giving the Pirates first
crack.
The Dean trade has got COM
pletely out of control, and it's hard
to separate the rumors from the
facts. Even Hickey is beginning to
contradict himself. He first an
nounced from st. Louis that Dean
was on the block because the Cardi-
nails couldn't win the pennant with
a one man pitching staff. Now he
says the Cards will win the pen
nant by 10 games if they keep
Dizzy. He also says the team that
gets Dizzy will win the pennant.

PASADENA. Dec. 8. U.P)-Defin-
ite indication was given today that
non-conference and independent
colleges on the coast would be given
another freezeout in football by the
Pacific coast conference round-robin
schedule.
Tentative schedules released by
graduate managers at the annual
winter meeting revealed that ST.
Mary'S, Santa Clara, College of the
Pacific, and San Francisco Universi-
ty received one game each while
Loyola Of Los Angeles and a few
more were left off the calendar en-
tirelv.
Commissioner Herb Dana of San
Francisco is TO be retained another
year but will have his powers cur
tailed, it appeared.
Efforts of graduate managers to
change the rule permitting the fac
ulty representatives to pick the
western representative to the Rose
Bowl failed when the faculty men
voted TO retain the rule. The pro-
posed change would install a per-
centage system to choose the win
ner.
Negative action was taken on a
proposal to limit the age of players
to 26.

Hi
In Workout

Calexico high school cagers
swarmed into their new gymnasium
yesterday afternoon and romped
through the first practice of the
year under the guidance of Coach
Edward Covington. The gymnasium
which was converted from a shed
into a basketball court has been
worked over and put in fair shape
While the floor is not SO smooth
as the Brawley and El Centro
courts, the new Calexico floor is
far better than an outdoor court
and as a result the Bulldog casaba
artists enjoyed the best practice in
several years.
Coach Covington has four return
ing regulars from last years squad,
Gallego, Stinson, Nazabal and Sa-
maha, and as a result the Calexico
team can be counted on to be in
the thick of the battle all OF the
way.
CoVington sent his charges
through a drill on ball handling,
let them shoot few setups and
wound up the practice session with
drill on passing the ball.
The Calexico coach announced his
team did not show much in the first
practice but he was confident the
Bulldogs would round into one of
the finest quintetes in the loop be-
fore the season terminated
Imperial Valley press., 1936-12-08

Smith and Sarazen were burning
up the course and we're only a
stroke or two behind.
The tenth hole was a very vital
one for all concerned in this, the
richest of tournaments. It marked
Little's finish. he missed an eight
inch putt here and that started
his decline into the duffer class.
After going out in "a, he came
home in 42. With the failure OF
the midget putt to roll in, the for
mer amateur king could do moth
ing right, completely muffing his
tee shot at the short twelfth and
hitting into the creek or the fif-
tenth.
But Little's p.ow-up didn't take
the pressure off Guldahl. For as
he stood on the fifteenth tee he
was informed that Smith had can
ned 35 footer for a birdie three
on the tenth and was leading him
by one stroke But Guldahl didn't
break. He answered this new chal-
lenge with a birdie on the hard
est hole on the course, pairing the
sixteenth and 18th, and grabbing
another birdie with a magnificent
second iron on the home hole.
Guldahl's victory gave him the
Radix trophy, which is awarded
each year for the lowest average
for the season. No one begrudged
him victory, for any man who
could spot this tremendous field
three strokes in penalties and still
win by two strokes is beyond be-
grudging.

Jean HerSholt has a new car,

The usual situation came about

Hitler Ban
On Critics
Movies
By PIERRE J. HUss
International News Service Staff
Correspondent
BERLIN, Nov. %

I'D E CIR E forbidding
II criticisms against lit
erature, music, motion
picture films, art and the
theater in Germany was an
nounced today by DR.. Joseph
Goebbels, Reich propaganda
minister, in a speech before
the German cultural chamber
delivered in the presence of
Chancellor Adolf Hitler.
Critics, Goeb bells said,
henceforth must merely re-
view and describe the SUBJ
jects which they discuss but
must not resort to adverse
criticism.
The propaganda minister
claimed former political
critics had "retreated into
the artistic field" and they
were camouflaging political
attacks under the guise of
"so-called cultural criticism"
Indirectly attacking Gen.
Erich Ludendorff, who took
part in Hitler's ill-starred
Munich Putsch but later re-
signed from the Nazi party,
Goebbels scored "cabalistic
juggling of statistical fig
ures with which people seek
to ascertain whether Goethe
poisoned Schiller or whether
Mozart was murdered"
Explaining the necessity
of the decree, Goebbels re-
ferred to instances in which
youths of % severely raped
world-famous artists.
Artists" he declared,
"must not be free game for
critics.
Art will not suffer from
the disappearance of criti-
cism. False greatness will
die after one year, even if
it is not killed by critics.
"Real greatness, however,
will be guaranteed freedom
by its artistic work, in
tegrity and artistic honor"
