Brawley apparently have an in
side track on the championship
fight. Brawley smothered Holtville
last week and Ell Centre nosed out
Imperial in an exciting game.
The Spartan varsity tuned for
Holtville Wednesday night with its
second victory over a diSorganlzed
junior college reserve team.
The high schoolers have shown
tremendous improvement since the
start of the season but still have
trouble locating the basket for
short shots.
Brawley is improving just as
rapidly, however, and is still rated
the team to beat in the loop race.
Coach Erskine's charges meet the
undefeated st. Augustine cagers

JAYCEES CLASH
WITH BEARDED
CAGERS FRIDAY

Central JUNIOR college basketeers
will continue their assault on big
time" clubs in the high school
gymnasium Friday night when the
Arabs are scheduled to clash with
colorful House of David quintet.
The bearded cage sharks provide
more tricks and laughs per minute
than any touring club in the ma
ton with the possible exception OF
the Broadway Colored Clowns.
The House of David center tow
ers feet II inches and is one of
the teams most active members.
He usually makes most of the
points and controls the ball for
his club.
The bearded team has lost only
three games in its tour thus far
in the season and will be able to
add the junior collegians to their
list without having to depart from
comedy antics.

Ted Williams of
Padres Touted as
Find of Season

NEW YORK, Jan. 13. CUP -
Basebau's never ending cycle of
new heroes to replace old stars who
are fading out of the picture has
lined up an interesting cast of pos
SibilitieS for the 1888 season.
Among the big names which fad
ed from the box score last season
were Mickey Cochrane. Tony Laz-
zeri. Mule Haas, Rogers Hornsby.
Kiki Cuyler. Jess Haines. Bill Terry.
Charlie Grimm and Waite Hoyt
Other one-time greats nearing the
end of their careers include Al Sim
mons, Buddy Myer, Chuck Klein
Gabby Hartnett. Lefty Grove,
Heinie Manush and others. Even
the durable Lou Gehrig, approach
ing 35 and Is years in the harness,
can't go on forever.
There are a host of new stars
coming over the horizon to replace
those heroes of yesterday. Brightest
CT the new constellation are Joe
DiMaggio. Yankees outfielder who
as a sophomore became the Amer
lean leagues No. star, and Joe
Nedwick. Cardinals outfielder who
won both the National leagues S
batting title and most valuable
player award
Behind DiMaggio and Medwick
are such up-and-cOming young
sters as Rudy York. Bob Feller,
Mike Kreevich, Monty Stratton,
Beau Bell. Cliff Melton, Russ Bau-
ers. Buddy Lewis. Lee Grissom.
And then there's the 1888 rookie
crop to be heard from. The head
liners in this group appear to be
the Yankees second baseman, Joe
Gordon from Newark; the Cardi-
nails outf:elder. Enos Slaughter from
Columbus: the Reds catcher, Will
lard Hershberger. from Newark;
the Cubs outfielder, Coaker Trip
lett. from Memphis; the Red SoX
l9-yeor old outfielder, Ted Williams

The Spartans have shown rapid
improvement since the first of the

Can't Vote Right

I WAS TALKING to an ap-
pointee of a member of the
Senate who said: MY Senator
would like to have voted with
your group today but you know
he is a candidate and just felt
that he shouldn't. You know
he couldn't be of any service if
he wasn't reelected" Such is
the story!
The outstanding members of
the Senate are the men who
represent ideas and ideals.
That has been the case in the
past. BY differences of opinion,
this country has profited. We
got different viewpoints be-
cause the Senators could ex-
press themselves without think
ing that the speech would mean
the loss of a project, a Federal
grant or some other favor to
the State.
They could talk without hay

In comparing the breaks" of Lindbergh and
Corrigan. the parallel ceases to be. Lindbergh
was originally backed by wealthy men, who
staked him to ship and to all the preparation
costs. Moreover. his father was former Con-
gresham. His mother a school teacher. He
was a mail pilot with an established reputation
for thoroughness before he flew to Paris.
Corrigan, the jobless welder and expert avia-
ton mechanic, has flown nonstop across the
country from West to East. Now he has flown
from New York to Ireland. Why? Because of
superb faith in his own ability and because he
applied his ability to keep nine-year-old plane

Strong For Noble

IT SHOWS what risky game flying is, when
= We have to have the Civil Aeronautics
Authority to make new deal for aviation. Thank
God, Chairman Edward ]. Noble has announced
the principle of passenger safety win be first,
rather than the doordie schedules that compel
pilots to fly in dangerous weather. This Commits
sion is one Of the finest things that Congress
has brought into being. To me one of the really
awful things about flying has been,. up to date
that the passengers are not allowed to know
what kind Of weather they are going into This
one phase will be done away with at once. Every
body will be furnished with complete data
regarding the weather, and can make their own
decision whether to take train or go by plane
Another thing hope this commission does is
to stop the criminally low flying. Some planes
roar over Friendship so low they almost take the
tops off the trees Now everybody knows If you
are flying low and anything happens to your
motor you haven't a ghost of chance. If you
are flying four or five thousand feet and there
is any trouble, you can generally glide to safety.
Chairman Noble also is determined to drive
politicians and lobbyists from the aviation pic
ture. This, am afraid, will be his hardest nut
to crack.

Feared LeVis Wrath

A MOTHER incident may in.
"A terest you. One Senator

to amend this bill by changing
a certain section" The other
replied: That change would
help the bill but if accepted
that amendment, I would be
annihilated by Lewis speaking
of John L. at the next cleo
ton" The amendment was not
in the bill. 1 wonder whether
the Senator is as secure in his
own self-respect as he thinks he
is with the chance of re-elec-
ton.
I hear members and others
say: Rush, you have to play
politics. If you don't, you won't
