Wildcats> Warriors Clash
HOltville Travels to San
Diego; CalexicO
Takes Rest

Brawiey high school footballers
ran through a last stiff practice
session Wednesday as the Wildcats
toughened up for their annual bat
tie with the Brawley Junior college
Friday night.
Coach Bob Erskine, who perosn-
ally directed the line offense drill
indicated he would try very hard
to win the game against the War
riors as the jaycees will outweigh
the high Schoolers more than ten
pounds to the man.
Erskine planned to use most of
the players on his first three squads
and prayed that none of his regu-
lars would be put on the injured
list by the hard driving jaycees.
The Wildcats open their regular
league schedule Friday October %
against Ell Centro high, defending
champions of the league and the
Wildcats are pointing to the Spar
tan game rather than to the con-
test with the Warriors Friday night.
Holtville high will met a tough

PITTSBURGH, Oct. IA (UP)-
Harold (Pie) Traynor today signed
contract to manage the Pitts
burgh Pirates ball club of the Ma
tional league in 1898 and also re-
vealed his first step in rebuilding
the club.
His first deal in rebuilding the
team was the purchase of out
fielder John r. Rizzo from the st.
Louis Cardinals. Rizzo was obtained
in exchanged for catcher Tommy
Padden, rookie first b.sen.an Bern
ard Cobb and an unannounced sum
of money.

Coach Ed Covington, mentor Of
the Calexico high school Bulldogs,
today announced the Calexico grid
ders will meet Brown Military
Academy high school football team
Friday night under the arcs at the
Border City field starting at pm.
The Brown Military Academy, for
merly the Army and Navy Academy,
boasts a strong squad and should
give the Calexico, eleven a real test
before the opening of their league
schedule next week.
Coach Covington, who had previ-
ously intended to lay off the last
week before the opening OF the val
ley season, said he scheduled the
game in an effort to iron out mis-
plays which popped up last week
against st. Augustine.
The Calexico mentor will start the
same team he used against st. Au-
guStine last week.

El CentrO Meets Cotton Hi
Spartans Face
Strong Coast
Eleven Friday

An undefeated Cotton high school
football team will invade the El
Centre high school stadium" Fri
day night at 8 o'clock determined
to reserve its perfect record when
the coast gridders clash with El
Centro's Spartans.
And comparison of records of
the FL Centro Spartans and of the
Cotton gridders indicates that the
invaders will uphold their clean
slate.
Eight returning lettermen are on
the Cotton squad and one of the
men is two year regular. -Four
CT the lettermen are in the back
field and the combination was
rated the best in the league last
season.
The Cotton backfield will aver
age slightly more than $50 pounds
and the line will tip the scales at a
165 pound average.
Ell Centre, on the other hand
will put lineup on the field with
only four lettermen included. The
backfield will average slightly less
than las and the line will average
154 pounds.
Gillett and Zinn. moved from
the line to the backfield when
Damron and Napier were forced
out of action, have shown rapid
improvement during the past week
but are not expected to be able
to cope with the Cotton backs.
With Ballou at center and Smith
at an end position, the Spartan line
will show better than last week but
Coach Taylor will be forced to trust
the other forward wall jobs to
comparatively inexperienced men,
Taylor has been particularly dis
pleased with the attitude of the
regular squadmen in recent prac-
tees and promised a shakeup in
the lineup if the attitude of several
of his ball players doesn't show
change for the better.
Max zinn, second string fullback,
has been moved to the varsity post
and Billie Burke has been shifted
to second string fullback job.
zinn will get the call in Friday
nights game.

lack of breath prevents me from
naming the others.
This, to me, makes very provoca-
tive reading. Because, as every
one knows, it is on the football
fields that the character of Ameri-
cas- youth is nodded. And the
teams of the schools in the above
list have led in this fine develop
.ment for years. 1t indeed gives
one pause to learn that the Min
nesota squad, with character enough
to fill each position with three
young leaders, already has been
beaten. And that Ohio State. where
tackles are taught to salute the
flag and help elderly ladies across
the street even before they are
instructed in body checking and
the proper way to MAIN an op-
posing end, has been licked before
the season is we'll under way.
What is the reason for the de-
feats Of these teams which for so
long have led in the setting of
young ideals? Certainly it can't
be the coaches fault. I have been
around football too long. and
known too many coaches, to ever
listen to suggestion that the
gridiron mentors are to blame. I
have yet to meet a coach who
didn't place the formation of char
acter above winning
And it can't be the fault of the
boys themselves. No one would
dare to hint that there is even one
football player in this country
be he tackle, end, guard, center,
or back-who reported for practice
with any other than this thought
in mind-"Four years of taking my
bumps out there on the gridiron.
Furnishing as it may seem at the
time, will purge my being of all
weakness. and toughen my fibers
for Life"
1t would destroy another ilu-
si3n-and we already have far too
many in this country-if anyone
rose up and suggested that per-
haps there were football players
who played for tuition, board, four
years under a roof that didn't rain,
personal glory, or a chance at pro
job.
No. we mustn't seek an answer.
We simply must wait until Satur-
day and hope that these leading
character building teams will once
again forge to the front and, under
the cultured lashings of their coun-
selors. set everything right by VIM
ming their games by anywhere from
two to 10 touchdowns.

Warming

Another weekend is fast approch-
ing. More football games are sche-
duled, and again the Bench Warm
er is forced to gaze at the office
clock and pick the winners.
Local games do not present the
problem that they did last week as
the Bench Warmer can go right
down the line without a miss. Col
ton, st. Augustine and Brawley JIG.
will defeat Ell Centro, Holtville and
Brawley high school.
Cotton is too fast and experienced
for the Ell Centro Spartans Eight
regularh form the nucleus of the
Cotton team and another two-year
letterman is ON the bench, unable
= land regular job. So the Bench
larmer picks the coast eleven by
Nineteen points.
st. Augustine, who last week beat
Calexico on the Border City grid
iron, will defeat the Vikings 1870.
st. Augustine is tough on their own
gridiron and the Saint passing at
tack will keep the Vikings on their
heels all night.
Brawley j. C. is too big and pow
erful for the high schoolers. Neither
team will put forth their best ef-
forts. Brawley high will be saving
its regular and the jaycees don't
want to run up big score.
University of Southern California
Trojans. encouraged by their win
over Ohio State, will shoot the
works against Oregon University
and drop the Webfeet 20-7.
Washington HuskieS will trim
their arch-rivals, w a h ing n
States Cougars in the feature game
of the northwest but not until they
have been through their most Cruel
ing game of the season. The final
score, 14-10.
Texas Christian University will hit
the loss column for the second time
this season when the Horned Frogs
clash with Texas Aggies. The Aggies
are the class of the southwest and
will pass T.C.U. dizzy. The score
will end close to 1876.
Northwestern will present power
full running attack and an alright
pass defense to hand Purdue its
second conference defeat in the
Midwest's outstanding game. The
Wildcats will score once in the
first half and protect their lead
in the second period.
Michigan State, still smarting un-
der the 80 defeat at the hands of
Manhattan College last week, will
lear strong Missouri eleven by
No touchdowns.
The Georgia Bulldogs return to
power will give the southerners an
edge in their tilt against the Holy
Cross Crusaders. Georgia will score
twice to win 1877.
Fordham Rams, who have round
ed into shape slowly with mini
mum of injuries, will provide one
of the seasons biggest upsets with
a 14-l0 win over Pittsburgh Pan
theirs.
Fordham had defense and no Of
fense last season. This year the
Rams have both.
