The strategy of Coach Ed Coving-
ton, Calexico basketball mentor,
will be tested Friday night in the
Ell Centro gymnasium when the
Calexico Bulldogs invade the Spar
tan court in a crucial" valley league
game
CaleXico cagers have shown tre-
mendous improvement since the first
of the year and are making their
first serious bid for a basketball
championship in several years.
The Bulldogs uroppeG close
game to the Brawley Wildcats in
the second game of the season, a
game that was much closer than
the 1927 score indicated.
Calexico basketballerS are still
certain they should have pulled out
a victory in that game.
The only comparative score to
match Ell Centro and Calexico is
the Spartan'S 20-13 win over Yuma
and CaleXico's 1915 loss to the
same Yuma five
CaleXico'S game against Yuma was
played early in the season. And
sport fans can not forget the habit
that Coach CoVington seems to have
fallen into in practice games. Mvs-
teriously he Withdraws regular
players from the lineup in the early
part of the game.
Whether or not he withdrew
g-putIIarS in fhn &c
not known but chances are he
wanted every player to see acton.
The Spartans have lost only two
games this season and have won
three straight league contests. 50,
the Ell CentranS will enter the game
favored to annex.
Coach Laurie Hansen is not GER
tain OF victory, however, and his
players won't be after they have
finished or have been finished bv
the strenuous workouts the high
school mentor plans for his charges
this week.
Another point I'm favor of the
Ell Cen-rans will be that the
Spartans are playing on the home
court. CaleXico has Mayed only
one game on the Ell Centre floor
and dropped a decision to the
Ell Centre junior college varsity.
El Centro will have a slight ad-
vantage in height but fCalexico's
speed may Offset that edge.
The Spartans reserve power is a
bit stronger hut CaleXico has shown
little need for that in recent games.
Summing up the contest it should
be the best high school game in
league play to date. Calexico must
shoot the works to win for a loss
will definitely eliminate the Bull l.
dogs from the championship race
A less will hinder the Spartan's
chances for its first league tilt in
two years but win will put .he
Ell Centrans in a good position to
upset Brawley a week from
Friday.
The new deal at Imperial high
school in the athletic department
may pay dividends its first season.
Imperial basketball teams show
more power than ever before and
Tiger rooters anticipate a fourth
place in varsity and a third in class

allotments for Federal projects to
Georgia is one factor that would en-
nance the position of Mr.. Camp in
the race. At the same time they are
consoling themselves with the argu-
ment that such projects would have
to get under way within 80 days to
affect the campaign.
The George supporters admit that
if New Deal backing boosts Mr.. Camps
strength it may give Mr.. Talmadge the
plurality-and with it the unit vote--of
counties Mr.. George otherwise would
carry. They are hoping this trend
would 60 no further than to result
in a run-off primary between Senator
George and Mr.. Talmadge.
Former Gov. Talmadge won sub
stantial personal following among the
farmers while serving as State COM
missioner of agriculture and later as
Governor. Farmers in this part OF the
State will tell you today they believe
Mr.. Talmadge will poll substantial
vote in certain rural counties, al
though he was deefated for the Sen
ate two years ago by Senator Richard
B. Russell, jr. The situation is dif-
ferent this year with the administra-
ton at odds with Senator George, Civ
ing rise to the possibility Of a split IN
the New Deal vote.
Talmadge New Deal Critic.
Mr.. Talmadge has been an outspoken
critic Of the Roosevelt New Deal, but
he has a deck Of his own which ne
holds forth to cure the economic ills
of the country. His first plank Is to
provide Government homesteads for
the unemployed to rehabilitate them
selves. Next he turns to the tariff
and opposes importation of any COM
modify that may increase idle acres or
idle men in this country. His third
plank Is to broaden and improve the
c. c. c. camps to give the youth OF
the country greater opportunity to ac-
quire an education and learn a trade.
Mr.. Camps campaign is based on
going along with the President His
first campaign speech was a resume OF
his loyalty to Mr.. Roosevelt and
criticism of Senator George and Mr..
Talmadge as opponents Of the Presi-
dent.
1t may be that the voters support
ing the President in his participation
in the senatorial primary are less
vociferous than those who are making
known their disapproval Of his inter-
vention. For example, one of the Ma
con newspapers decided few days
ago to test sentiment by asking per-
sons who telephoned for sports re.
suits or other information where they
stood on the senatorial primary. Out
Of IS persons to whom the question
was put, II were not ready to express
an opinion. OF the remaining 1s. there
were II who expressed agreement with
the President.

ticipation in the fight has put Georgia
on the national political map in Z big
