NAVY FAVORED
WITH HUSKIES
AT REGATTA

POUGHKEEPSIE, NY, June 81.
U.P)-Coach Charles (Buck Walsh's
Navy Varsity was established 1-2
co-favorite today with University of
WaShington's champion HuSkies on
the eve of the 40th rowing of the
intercollegiate Regatta.
Odds on the MiddieS dropped
from Ia despite determined eff
forts around the Navy camp last
week to discount prospects of the
varsity eight. Walsh perSistently
maintained the crew was not yet at
its peak and was short of the long
distance work SO necessary for
building endurance for the four
mile pull up the Hudson tomorrow
Most observers feel that Walshs
attitude was to prevent his boys
from becoming over confident, be-
cause every other coach on the
river agrees that the senior tar
beat is in top notch racing condition
with tn smOothoSt stroke of any
of the seven competing colleges.
Walsh agrees with the others that

B0ttlers to Defend
Record Tuesday Mite
Meet an Improved
Calipatria Nine
In Ell CentrO

The Ell Centro Coca Cola
softball team, favored to
finish first or second in the
valley league this season,
will defend its record against
the vastly improved Calipatria
nine at the El Centro park Tuesday
night.
Brawley will meet the league
leading Mexicali diamondeers at
Mexicali and Calexico will tangle
with Holtville at Holtville in the
other league games.
Calipatria's cellar champions
threw a scare into the Mexicali
team last week when the north
enderS held the Jordanmen to a
2-l victory after leading through
most of the contest.
Brawley, winner in its last four
games, will extend the league lead
ers at Mexicali and may be strong
enough to knock over the Mexicali
team.
The northern team dropped a
80 decision to the Mexican nine
after sixteen innings of play in
the first meeting between the two
teams.
Calexico, the disappointment"
team of the league, will attempt
to salvage some of its lost laurels
at the expense OF the fast slipping
Holtville team.
Meyers may be on hand to hurl
for the Border team.
