Many is the time I have flushed up
a nice covey of birds with my No

started leaping with a beautifully
sliced brassie into the laughing wat

er have seen a golf tournament and
never will, but with the gun and
rod we would be enabled to fill the
vacant places on the mantlepiece
and in the trophy case with fine
examples of marine and animal life.
The gun-and-rod rule would do
much for the domestic happiness
of the duffer. The little wife (or
more frightening, the big wife)
could hardly get mad at her golf

tontail, and stuffed in his bag were
three or four speckled trout.
If the rule goes into effect it

was disclosed as $17,500 by the
treasury department, but Brannick
did not reveal the boost he will get

BRAWLEY TO
PLAY BORDER
TEAM FRIDAY

Brawley and CaleXico high
schools continued their stiff work.
cuts today in order to get in shape
for their all-important battle in the
Brawley gymnasium Friday night.
The battle between the league
leading clubs may decide the cham
pionship and as result both teams
are especially anxious to emerge
victorious.
Coach Marvin Clark sent his
sharpshooters through long shoot
ing practice yesterday afternoon
and planned to work on defense
tomorrow to halt Stinson and Naza-
bal, CaleXico scoring aces.
Coach Ed Covington in Calexico
has a bigger job, however. as he
must stress a defense to stop all
of the Brawley cagers, for even the
Brawley guards are deadly shots
under the basket.
Both coaches picked his opponent
as certain winner and Clark re-
ported that he has renewed his
prayer for three or five middle
westerners to use on his ball club.
The c game looms as a we'll
played defensive battle. The Cal
exico lighties are not outstanding
shots but their defense is stronger
than that of any team in the
valley.
Should the Calexico team stop
the scoring antics of Fleming
Brawley sharpshooter, the Bulldog
pups may knock over the highly
touted wildcat midgets.
