Their leaders said they would re-
main until the legislature enacted
a permanent relief program. They
said the present emergency food
rationing was equivalent to Star
vation.'
City officials said they would
not molest them as long as there
was no disturbance.
The Ohio legislature was con-
vened in extraordinary session yes
terday because of the crisis, and
the house named a committee OF
II to study relief needs in the
Cleveland, Toledo and Akron areas,
the most populous. A similar but
less critical situation prevailed in
other Ohio cities as a result of the
previous legislatures failure to pass
an adequate program.

NEW YORK, Sept. Ia. UP)-
Stocks fluctuated nervously in ex-
cited trading tdiay. swayed by

gains.

played more vitality than other is
sues and some, including Briggs
and Houdaille Hershey B, showed
small gains. Chrysler, at its low
of 65h. was off ga. 1t came back
more than 2 points. General Mot
ors also reduced a loss.
Steels met support after u. S.
Steel had fallen from 81 to 81, the
latter off 2H net. Bethlehem cut
11a point loss to a fraction.
Market experts explained the
early rise as a technical rebound
after sharp break caused by war
fears. Accumulated order were exc
cuted in blocks of 1000 to 5000
shares at the opening. Thereafter
for a half hour the rise continued.
Copper producers raised the price
of copper metal 1s cent to 10h

The seriousness of Imperial VAL

On four fronts Tuesday as pigskin
aspirants at Holtville, Calexico,

speed in the second day of practice.
At Ell Centre high, where Coach
Hansen hopes to build the Spar

In Calexico the Bulldogs ran
through q fast workout in prepara-
ton for stiffer grinds later in the
week. Holtville high schoolers
worked out for more than an hour,
alternating fundamental drills with

The Yankees assured Ruffing
that he did pitch his 21st triumph

ance was music to Rulings ears

himself as the pitcher of the year,

other pitcher in either league comes
close.

Covington Worried
Coach Covington indicated his
biggest trouble would be to keep
his regulars on their toes. The
club isn't nearly SO strong as it is
touted to be" he said, and it'll
be worse if people don't quit
picking the Bulldogs to win"
Bob Erskine at Brawley refused
to even talk about the grid situa-
ton on his campus.
"If Brawley was ever tabled to
be the cellar team, this is the
year" Erskine declared. MY back
field will be weak. the line worse" ="

men as disastrous to Viking
chances.
Gray Back
Jack Gray viii have to carry
the entire load, he and even
good college man can't do that
It's the cellar for me, unless l get
some imported football players"
But since high school coaches as
well as college mentors are noted
for their pessimism, and because
only one of the four coaches can
be correct in predicting his team
will finish last. the Bench Warm
er looks forward TO a closely con-
tested race with every team in the
thick of the pennant fight.
Armstrong Optimistic
While high school coaches per-
sisted in wailing to the high
heavens, Coach Robert Armstrong
of Central junior college waXed OPP
timistic in predicting a great year
for Central junior college.
The reason for Armstrong; opti-
misn was obvious. Eighteen foot
ball players turned out for the
first practice, one week before
school opened. That alone proves
that there will be a new interest
among jaycee footballers. Last
season only a half dozen football
ers were on hand before schOo
opened.
Ballou SparkplUg
Big Bob Ballou from last years
| Spartan football team and who
was chosen Southern California
center Will be the sparkplug OF
the Armstrong team. Bob has
fired enthusiasm into the rest OF
the team members.
The jaycee mentor has worked
out a plan which will give his
charges a regular schedule for
practice session after school starts
in order that the Arabs may
present a well-drilled team.
Armstrong indicated that he
did not hope TO beat Phoenix. The
Arizonians will have their work
cut out for them, however, and
some other teams on the schedule
will find the going too tough, the
junior coilegian coach declared.
