Bait LuredI. v.
Hoppers TO Death

Fiftv-nine tons of poison palt
we're distributed on 7200 acres OF al
falfa in Imperial Valley during the
srasshopper control season, the
monthly report of the Imperial
county agriculture commissioner
revealed wednesday.
The poison bait, furnished by the
department of agriculture, was mix
ed and distributed from the agri-
culture commissioners office, the
report said.
Work continued during Septem-
Ger en- weed control. Three county
spray machines operated on county
roads.
Lettuce acreage, as previously re-
ported, will be about the same as
last season. Most growers reported
good stands in early paintings.
Early planting of carrots have
)een irrigated and a generally good
stand has resulted, inspection OF
fields revealed. Some extremely
early paintings failed to get a good
stand and replanting was necessary.
Sugar beet paintings are already
underway with an estimated 1900
acres already put in, showing an
increase of nearly 1000 acres over
last year.

Although little has been divulged
officially, the most reliable, sources

italian volunteers from the Span

most frequently mentioned number.

Maryland is expected to start

showed Merry Prince, of Berry

heavyweight hunter division.
Margaret Cotter has a little
trick of popping up things by
yelling "Hike!" to Rocksie for the
takeoff in a difficult jump. and
the crowd leaned forward expect
antly whenever the pair entered
the ring.
ROCKSIE IN JUMP-OFF
Only the best jumpers were
exhibited in the Rocket Glass, in

over the first hurdle but came a
cropper on the second. Set at IL

continued around the course
without a fault. But four clean
performances by other entries
kept Rocksie out of the Jump-o11.
The class was won by Bartender.
In the knock -down-and-out class
Miss Cotter and Rocksie had bet
ter luck. On the first round, Is
horses went clean. among them

Mrs. Wetherall made a pretty

SPREAD PLAYS
WILL ABOUND IN
GAME SATURDAY
By CHICK KENNY

Spread plays loom as the major
offensive threat in the all-import
ant game between undefeated and
united Georgetown and West Vir.
ginia Saturday at Morgantown.
No little amount Of success has
been realized by the Hoyas
through the use of a peculiar"
spread that rival scouts have
failed to diagram correctly on
paper to turn over next Satur.
days Hilltop opponent.
Coach Jack Hagerty refuses to
divulge his pet spread from which
he can utilize into a highly,suc-
cessful pass play or a streak
through the line for Sizeable
gain. And you can't blame him
for that. He has this game with
the Mountaineers coming, up, and
then follows the annual classic
with Maryland, before an unde'
feated season can be attained.
SPREAD PLAY SCORES
Although the Hagerty spread
was used sparingly in the first
three games of the schedule
once or twice at the most-it was
brought to bear for the first time
with a touchdown attached in the
game with Manhattan month
ago. Incidentally, it was the spread
play pass, Koshlap to Mellendeck.
that won the game for the HoyaS
from the Jaspers.
The following week against
Temple, the "Hagerty spread"
was successfully used with Lou
Ghecas running around left end
for a touchdown. Elmer Moulin
reached pay dirt last Friday night
by way of the spread, likewise rip
ping around left end for the first
touchdown in the game against
Bucknell.
The "Hagerty spread" has
proven itself to be so effective
that the Georgetown eleven is ex.
pected to make full use of it Satur-
day against the Mountaineers.
But West Virginia is equally
adept at working plays from
spread formation. In fact, last
year West Virginia tied up the
ball game with Georgetown in the
closing minutes of play by the
use of such formation.
HAVE TWO SPREADS
The Mountaineers use two varie-
ties of spreads with variations
attached. That which the George
town eleven is expected to see
most Saturday afternoon is play
patterned after the one employed
by the Redskins, where the quar-
terback starts in motion, either
to the left or right, about Is yards
on the wing.
The other is formed from the
original Notre Dame T formation.
with the quarterback rowing or
in motion, either to his left or
: right. Both are potent ground
gamers when they work, and it is
, up to the Hilltop eleven to be
l fully prepared for anything ema-
mating from it.

Club card, the Mexican comes

over Howard Scott, local battler,

He floored the D. c. battler in the

Gated interim Rugs Raer
we will be slightly less whole

guard who went to three dlt-
ferent colleges on three con-
secutive Saturdays. Stories are
not good without names. Inc
lad was Joe Fogarty and When
he died he was basketball coach
at Yale.
Joe waS c great cage man out
he didn't care much for toot6dH

other ,Uolt po1UderS. He 1OdS
good enough in baseball to hGDe

brother Jack Shellacked the
great Nonpareil only to lose
phoney decision.
Now all this was over 80 years
ago as the taxes fly. Joe had
put in a loyal but slightly COM
mercial Saturday afternoon with
Villanova against one OF those
maisonette colleges from tAe
main line. He broke up the op-
positions one play. And not
only grabbed fumbles but manu-
factured them. At that time
basketball players were tougher
than blue ribbon grand Jurles.
Joe played so well for VillanoVa
that Tiny Maxwell signed him
up the next Saturda ay Tor
SWarthmore.
At that time Tiny WGS under

Fogarty did so we'll at Swarth

Joe's names. He decided to In

And the very next Saturday
afternoon Joe was playing fol
the University of Pennsylvania
as a guard. That's as true a.
Meridian Time.
And in one of those three
games he played against his
alma nanny on the Saturday
before.
Right now we forget the exact
details. Joe never did care
much for football. But he was
always willing to help out a pal
The best he did in baseball wa'
