A. Drennen
Leads Grads
To Victory

With Archie Drennen having a
field night. scoring "a points from
his forward position, Ell Centro jun
ior college alumni cage team Thurs
day night maintained its perfect
record with a 53-35 victory over
Coach R. R. Taylor's Arab quintet.
The grads stepped into the lead
early in the game and. though held
even in the early part of the first
half. managed to build up ten
point edge at the half.
Trailing 24-14 at the beginning of
the second half, the Arabs opened
I'D with scoring attack and the
jaycees held hopes that they might
pul out win.
Their hopes for victory were short
lived. however, for the Alumni ma
chine soon hit its stride and before
the second half was ten minutes
old the game was definitely "on
the ice"
The tilt was one of the most
smoothly played game seen IN the
valley this season and the Arabs
played an outstanding brand of ball
despite the fact they were out
elaSsed.

was allowed to build up comfort
able lead. Trailing by 10 points the
Clowns decided to win the game
Again that whirlwind passing
attack started. The Clowns had
been fooling around during most
of the game, trying placekickS
playing dice, ard lot of other
monkeyshineS to entertain the
crowd.
The staters were again dazzled
by the passing attack and sudden
~ a Clown broke under the basket
for a setup. The ball whizzed past
an Aztec guard, the Clown shot,
and the ball dropped through the
netting. s.
Again that passing, and again the
Clown forward was under the bas-
ket, but this time the ball trimmed
the hoop and the staters recover
ed the ball. The Clowns soon re-
trieved the ball, however, and
again a man was open under the
basket. But again the ball RIM
med the hoop and again state re-
covered.
The Clowns must have taken SO
shots at the basket but something
was radically wrong. Again and
again the ball missed the netting.
Only occasionally did the ball drop
through for two points.
With only three minutes to play
the Clowns still trailed 30-19, so
they took the ball out to the Gen.
ter of the court and played keep
away with the San Diego cagerS.
San Diego fans sat spellbound
as the Clowns sent that ball whis-
ting about the court as though
it were controlled by a string. Chest
passes, bounce passes, roll passes
they all were shot across the court
with unerring accuracy.
When the game ended the Clowns
were still in possession of the ball
and the Aztecs had scored win,
but San Diegans were convinced
they had seen the nations finest
team in action.
The Arabs will play their best
brand of ball Wednesday night
and hope for the best-and fans
will see the finest exhibition of
basketball wizardry ever witnessed
in the valley.

MOVIES RAISE GRADES

Some interesting tests with a view to
plementing ordinary instruction by motion
picture films illustrating the subjects
taught have been made in San Diego and
other California cities.
In all more than H. 900 children were
tested, each school being divided into two
groups, one of which received both book
and film instruction, the other being
taught through text books only. The tests
covered period of ten weeks at the end
of which examinations were held.
Pupils having the advantage of mo-
ton pictcres made grades averaging 33
per cent higher in geography and Is per
cent higher in general science subjects
than those who used books alone. This
experiment appears to have been extern
sive enough to warrant the conclusion that
the combined book picture method is
highly advantageous in such subjects as
those mentioned.
Not only is this method beneficial to
the individual pupil, but by reducing the
number of failures in examinations, it re-
duces the number of pupils who must re-
peat courses, thus effecting saving in
expenses for school purposes.
The introduction of educational films
is becoming widespread, and there is little
doubt that they will become standard
equipment for schools of the future

retarded through the lack of unified
action. Many of the rivers which
cause the greatest devastation flow
through or past more than one state.
No one state can effectively deal with
the problem; cooperative action by
all concerned is required.
Giving tardy recognition to this,
Congress, in June, 1886, passed two
acts designed to encourage the states
to develop cooperative flood control
projects. One act gave congressional
consent to compactS between two or
more states from Maine to Tennessee
"for conserving and regulating the
flow, leSsening flood damage. remov-
ing sources of pollution of the waters
thereof, or making other public inn
provementS on any rivers or streams
whose drainage basins lie within any
two or more of the said States"
The other act gave the advance con-
sent of Congress to compacts in con-
nection with projects or operations
authorized by the act 'fcr flood con-
troll or the prevention ofFlamage 70
life or property by reason of floods
upon any stream or streams and their
tributaries which lie in two or more
States"

WHO SAID 1T FIRST?

Verify your quotations is the adj
vice of someone, but the advice is some
times difficult to follow. In the case of
many famous sayings it is hard to find out
who really said them first. There are
many instances of striking phrases which
have been attributed to prominent persons
who had really borrowed them from
others.
For example, Lincoln'S reference to a
government of the people, by the people,
and for the people" Almost identical
words were used by John Wycliffe in the
18th century, and by Robespierre, Thomas
Cooper, Joseph Story, Daniel Webster and
Theodore Parker long before Lincoln ut
tered them at Gettysburg.
Even the Golden Rule, which appears
in two forms in the New Testament, was
expressed by Confucius five centuries bel
fore Christ, and by other ancient teachers
Perhaps the most catchy phrase ever
uttered by the late William jennings
Bryan contained his "crown of thorns and
cross of gold' metaphor, which is credited
with securing his nomination for the presi-
dency in 1896 1t has been and still isl
generally believed that the phrase was
original with Bryan, but the Congressional
Record shows that it was spoken by Con-
gresham Samuel W. Mccall in a speech
several months before. "a
No one whose words have been ap-
propriated by another could have shown
better spirit towards his imitator, than
Mccall showed toward Bryan in this in
stance. When questioned about it later,
Mccall said:
Eyes, Bryan borrowed it from one of
| stole it from somebody else.''

GRANT, FAILURE UNTIL MIDDLE LIFE

AS rule men must make their sue
cesses before they reach the age of as, and
with something in which they are vitality
interested. There are exceptions, of
course. Ulysses S. Grant, one of the
strangest characters in all history, made a
mess of everything he undertook till near
middle-age, to become commander-in-chief
of the union armies and President. And
perhaps the oldest thing in the odd story
of an odd nature was his lifelong distaste
for the military life in which his great
reputation was made. He always dis
claimed the calling of warrior, and when
visiting Europe after the war he told the
terest in military affairs. ~

"Amazing Interference"
By ERIK Mckinley ERICSSON
Professor of History, University Of Southern California

up an interstate compact to provid>
for the control of the Connecticut
River food waters. Then the President
did a most extraordinary thing. in a
letter to Governor Wilbur l. Cross
of Connecticut, received by him on
August z, 1887, the President declared,
ut is my profound conviction that
these matters are properly the sub
ject of Federal legislation and not of
interstate compaets." A report by the
Attorney General, accompanying the
letter, stated that the compact con-
fiicted with federal policy-meaning
Of course not the legislation of 1896
but rather the Presidents plan for
seven T. v. AS.
This was a most amazing Interior
ence on the part of the Chief Execu-
tive. Clearly, he was dis. egarding the
legislative policy of Congress in an
nouncing that he would approve no
interstate compact for food control.
In the American constitutional sys-
tenn, the legislative body. not the ex-
ecutive, has the sole function of de-
termining the policy Of the govern
ment. The President, in overriding
the policy of Congress to encourage
interstate compacts for food control,
was guilty of another usurpation Of
the legislative function.
Contrary to the Presidents views,
any problem is properly a subject Of
an interstate compact, provided con.
gressional approval is given. Com.
pacts are based on negative state.
ment in Article /, Section 10, of the
Constitution, which reads. "No State
shall. without the Consent of Con-
greSS enter into any Agreement or
Compact with another State. :"
There is absolutely nothing in the
statement to limit the subject matter
Of compacts.
There appears to be no good reason
why the compact method should not
be used to deal with any problems
which are common to more than one
state. The chief obstacle to the lsuc-
cessful application of the compact
method, it appears from the Presi-
dents interference in the New Eng
land case. is a federal administration
determined to centraliZe all impor-
tant governmental power in its own
hands.

game pitched by school boy in

out the fact that a more remark
able game was pitched here in
1912 by Fred Dion. In the con-
test here last week two men
reached first, though neither made
hits. In the. game Dion pitched,
the Army playing the Kelly Slug
gers, Dion's support was perfect
and not one runner reached first.
So far as can be learned this Us
the first time this trick has ever
been turned on the island.
The Young Sluggers ran their
winning streak up another notch
yesterday when they defeated the
Young Tigers by a score of A to
