While the CaleXicanS were run

Coach Marvin Clark fought against
a dreaded enemy, over-confidence.
The Wildcats, who walloped Cal

Coach Clark indicated he ex-
pected his ball club to lose its first
ball game of the season and while
sports writers and other valley
coaches took little stock in his FORE

Post-Press Sports Editor

Silence reigned in the POST Press
editorial office. The clock, if it had
been built that way, would have
chimed eleven bells.
Suddenly the phone shrilled The
night editor, hidden behind a barri-
cade of newspapers, yawned and
took down the receiver.
"Is this the Post-Press?" voice
demanded.
Sure" the ne. replied.
How come the J. C. has such a
Door basketball team?" the man
at the other end of the wire asked.
The night editor, now fully
awake, and somewhat irked be-
cause he had been walked from
sound sleep just TO hear an
unreasonable question. responded,
How should I know? I'll speak
10. the sports editor In the am, IL
he ever gets here, and maybe
he'll write something about IT,"
Not because the night editor sug-
gested it, but because several people
have asked lately. Just how good
is the j. C. team" we'll attempt
to enlighten the public in that
regard.
Ono of the main reasons this
seasons Junior college team is
looked upon as an inferior club
is beca-se last years jayccc squad
was so outstanding.
The Arabs boasted the strongest
club in school history last season
and turned in wins over Phoenix,
several all-star commercial Teams,
State College freshmen, an unusu-
ally strong Army and Navy academy
team and flock OF other teams
too numerous to mention.
Measuring this seasons j. G., team
In regard TO the strength OF the
average coast and Arizona Junior
college clubs. tho Arabs arc inferior.
But measuring the Arabs against
! schools with the same enrolment
as Central Junior college, the Arabs
are above average.
They dropped onc-sidcd game
to Phoenix but Phoenix has an
enrolment Of 1000. CJ.C. boasts
an enrolment Of slightly less
than 100.
Riverside beat the Arabs but the
Riverside school boasts an enroll
ment of 300.
Army and Navy academy, the only
Junior college with an equal en-
| rollment to meet the Arabs, bowed
to the Nomad quintet almost two
| to one.
Against high school competition
in the valley, the Arabs have Jared
well. They defeated Brawley by
10 points, and The Wildcats lost
II games.
The jaycee reserves hold victories
over Calipat, Holtville, Calexico and
Ell Centre high schools. Their 32-14
win over Central high Monday night
was particularly impressive. From
the opening gun until the fina
minute of play the high school die
not have look in.

with the l. v. Hardware. The
Bachelors have not yet annexed a

The Hardware, definitely out OF

SECURITY ACT
LIKELY TO BE
UPHELD
Forecasts Based on
Retirement of
Van Devanter
International News Service

Supreme Court decisions up
holding the Administrations So
cial security program were pre-
dicted by many court observers to-
day in the wake Of the retirement
Of Justice Van Devanter.
Two cases, in which conStitu-
tionality Of both the unemploy.
ment insurance and old-age an.
nuity taxes of the social security
act are at stake, are expected to
be decided by the court either on
Monday or on June 2.
The forecasts were based largely
on the belief that Justice Van
Devanter would not join in de.
cisions booming the vast social
security program after he had
announced his retirement from
the bench.
PoStponement of action In the
cases until next fall, in the event
the court is closely divided, was
a possibility.
The court was held virtually
certain to split on the issues Of
unemployment insurance and old
age annuity taxes. During argu-
ment in the cases the liberal
justices" indicated by their ques-
lions that they believed the levies
were constitutional.
The retirement of Justice Van
Devanter was believed to remove
all possibility that the court might
declare the Alabama unemploy-
ment insurance law, the third
social security case before the
court, invalid.
The court divided four.to-four
ON the issue of the New York un-
employment insurance law, with
Justice Van Devanter presumably
voting to hold the law invalid,
but Justice Stone, q liberal, was
absent.

agreement on a compromise before
the Democratic party is hopelessiy
split on the court issue.
It gained momentum on the
strength of warnings that finish
fight on the Presidential plan
would result just as disastrously
| to the Democratic party as did the
bitter League Of Nations fight two
decades ago.
The other report indicated the
President was involved indirectly
in the compromise. It was de-
clared the President had been
preached on a compromise, de-
clined to commit himself to any
particular plan, but offered no
opposition to his leaders negotia-
ting some agreement to be enacted
and then submitted to him for mis-
consideration.
1t was privately said he would
accept the Logan plan, in view Of
the retirement of Associate Justice
Van Devanter and the reported
pending retirement OF at least one
other justice.
The Logan Plan
The Logan compromise was
brief. It read:
"The Supreme Court Of the
United States shall consist of .
chief justice and eight associate
justices, twO-thirdS Of whom
shall constitute quorum. The
number of justices may be tenn
pOrarily increased by the ap-
pOintment Of an additional JUS
tice for each justice who has
passed the age Of IS years; but
not more than one such addi-
tiOnal justice shall be appointed
in one calendar year"
Logan announced it had the ap-
proval of Democratic Leader Rob-
inSon, Of Arkansas. This led to
the report that it was not objec-
tionable to the President.
The compromise was rejected by
the Senate Judiciary Committee
along with the Presidents plan.
In the balloting. it won seven Of
the eight committee members who
previously supported the Presi-
dents plan. They voted for it in
preference to the Roosevelt bill.
This group included Senators
Ashurst, chairman; Nelly, Diet
erich, McGill, Logan, Hughes and
Norris. After the substitute was
defeated, all turned and voted for
the presidential plan.
Predicts Passage
Logan announced he would offer
the compromise in the Senate and
predicted no other measure could
be enacted into law.
Chairman Asnurst, a vigorous
supporter Of the presidential plan
for three months, explained his
vote for the substitute in these
words:
ut Is q very close approach
to the Presidents views. 1t
had in il all he wanted. It was

said he would, but Nicky's ruined your life.
And mine and Andy's, and now"
She clung to Andy and wept against him,
holding his arms as if to prevent him from
attacking Nicky, while incidentally shielding
him from Nicky. But Nicky was too much
puzzled to feel even the desire for violence.
Andy was side issue to him. Ivy fairly
fascinated him. He said:
''Ivy, you remind me of little coral
snake once saw in the tropics. The prettiest
little thing, pink and slender and graceful,
but deadly poisonous. What are you up to
anyway? What have Trina and ever done
to you that you hate us so?"

of all you've done to me. suppose you'll
forgive him, Trina, and never forgive me,
but as soon as you quareled, he turned to
me. He made me love him. He'll deny it
to you, of course. He'll tell you he never
took me to that place they call Paradise.
But Andy saw us there. He can prove it,
and he had friend with him who will back
him up. Didn't you, Andy?"
That's the truth. ;" said Andy stoutly.

and common wonderment. Seeing Nicky and
Trina together, they knew that their lies were
exposed, but like other generals in panic of
surprise, they could think of nothing to do
but to 60 right on with their original plans.
Ivy relied on Andy to play his part, and
before Nicky could say word she had
plunged into passionate scene.
Trina, DEAR" she began in the tone of
voice that automatically brought tears to
her great eyes, you saw how confused
was when found you here before expected
you. l didn't have the courage to tell you
had been with Nicky or that he had just
brought me back. I've always tried to be
a true friend to you, but after you quarreled
with Nicky and refused to see him. he kept
coming here under pretence of trying to see
you. But he was making love in his own
way to me. You know his ways. You know
how he can make love, how attractive he
is. Well, he won me just as easily as he
won you. l should have known how un-
trustworthy he is, but - we'll, when told
him you had gone to Providence, he said,
Let's take little trip ourselves. I know a
beautiful place called Paradise l refused
and refused, but he kept begging till oh,
it's too horrible, but - the worst of it was
that poor Andy just happened to 60 to that
