Rally Is Success

Friday night at 7::30 the town was
walked by a group of snake dancers
shouting Il! L! LIST The snake
dance was led by the. band and
peptomists, who stopped at each
intersection of the main street and
let out volley of spirit in the form
of noise.
A bonfire, built by the freshmen
boys, lighted the football field when
the procession arrived. The pro-
gram there consisted of selection
by the band, several pep songs by
the Peptomists, speeches by proms-
nent citizens and alumni, and school
yells. The L" was lighted at 8
o'clock.

Another Carlo

Florence Hoefner likes to do
things by herself. She has many
girl friends but often, like Carlo
she wants to be alone She does
a great deal of embroidery, both
for herself and for other people.
Was it 5, or 6, years ago that we
started that lunch set? All mel
Some people have all the persever-
ance. Florence would like to travel,
goes to lots of shows. Her favorite
actress? Carlo, of course.

High School
Cage Teams to
Reopen Props

High school basketball practice
at Ell Centre, Brawley, Imperial,
Calipatria. Holtyille and CaleXico,
will resume practice for what IS
expected to be the closest league
race in five years, on January 3.
Ell Centre, BraWley, Calexico, I'M
perial, Holtville and Calipatria have
been rated in that order in pre-
season gueSSeS.
Calexico and Brawley, however,
may surprise the defending cham
pion SpartanS. Calexico's only
drawback is that the Bulldogs have
had little time for practice.
Football playotf games carried
the grid season into December and
rain during the latter part Of the
month halted practice sessions.
Imperial may upset one Of the
three favorites somewhere along
the line but Holtville and Calipatria
are apparently along only for the
lide
Indications are that Holtville will
drop out CT league play after the
first round TO start practicing track
teams.

Brawley IS rated as the toughest
opposition for the Spartans. The
Wildcats had little varsity material
TO start with. but are developing
rapidly. Leedom. Nakamura and
James have shown to the pest ad-
vantage in practice games.

Calexico was originally regarded
as a dangerous contender but the
rain storm Immediately before the
Christmas vacation cut the Bull
dogs out of several practice ses-
sions
Raab. Amador, Mendoza, Valen-
cia. Bowker and Sander Will alter
nate at starting positions when the
league opens but Sande1 will re-
main eligible only long enough for
two games.
The loss of Sander and practice
sessions may prove costly to the
Calexicans.
Imperial Calipatria and Holtville
cannot be regarded as serious
threats. They will probably finish
in that order. None are considered
strong enough to upset any OF the
favorites.

10 ADOPT radical reVlslonS. lhe'
coaches opened their four day an
nual meeting last night.
Little indicated these three sug-
gestions would be discussed:
l. A proposal sponsored by Coach
Pat Hanley of Boston university
concerning protection for a safety
zone" for passers. Under it, a de-
fensive player would be penalized
Is yards if he "roughed" the passer
after the latter had thrown the
ball and still was standing in the
"safey zone. This zone would be
approximately three yards laterally
and three yards backwards.
2. Accidental hitting of an inelig-
ible receiver by forward pass.
Under the present rule, this re-
suits in loss of the ball where the
play originated. Little said it had
been suggested that the pass be
declared incomplete and the penalty
be loss of a down.
8. Commission of a foul by an
offensive player while a punted
ball is free. The present rule calls
for loss of the ball to the opposing
team where the play originated.
Losing the ball seems too dras-
tic a penalty" Little said. MAYBE
something will be worked out to
correct this"

Today's Sports Parade

see the game as one between two
strong clubs, with neither side de-
serving the favorite's position
Mr.. Jones made it clear that he
was not pelittling his team when
he said it should not be given
preference over Duke in the mind
of the public. He likes his team,
thinks it is one of the strongest he
ever coached, with speed, power,
brains, and reserve strength. He
admits that it is in top shape, too.
However, he says he has no rea-
son to believe that the Duke team
isn't one of the best Wallace Wade
ever coached, with all the essen
tials of a great eleven.
Il haven't seen the Duke team
except in the neWsreelS," Jones SAID
as we sWirled through a revolving
door en- route toward another ap-
pointment. Just the regular news
reels, not the entire pictures of the
games. But / have been coaching
long enough to know that a team
doesn't go through a major sched-
uled undefeated, united, and un-
scored on just because it's lucky.
Luck will win for you once in
while, but not through a whole
season"
Coach Jones intimated that he
didn't believe Duke was invited to
the Rose Bowl because the boys
parted their hair in the height OF
fashion, or because Wallace Wade
had a lot of friends who wanted to
see him again.
Dukes out here because it Is
fine football team" Jones said.
"And when anyone spots it IA
points and then bets against 1t, well,
Il inst doesn't add up."

By HENRY McLEMORE

LOS ANGELES, Dec. %. (UP)-
Coach Howard Jones is very busy
man these days.
Even the local bees envy his in
dustry as he readies his Southern
California football team for the
Rose Bowl game with Duke on jan
uary 2.
His hours are filled with the de-
vising of new plays, the perfection
of old ones, blackboard talks, skull
practices, praise here, blame there,
long hours on the field, and con-
ferences with his many assistants.
Add to this the hundreds Of re-
quests for tickets he must be get
ting, and you have a man whose
leisure is as limited as Mrs. Roose-
velts.
Yet, there is one man that
Howard Jones will take time OIL
70 see and talk With-and that
man is any man who can give him
a sane and sensible reason why
Southern California should be
2 TO 5 fayorite over Duke, or why
certain Los Angeles natives are go
ing about betting on Southern Cali
fornia and giving from 10 to IA
points
Such odds are ridiculous, and
make no sense whatsoever" Coach
Jones told me yesterday as ! chas-
ed him on his continual round of
duties. "I don't know who estab-
lighed such odds, but I know one
thing-they weren't started by any
man, woman, or child who knows
much about football. Anyone who
knows football knows that our team
and Duke should be rated even. /

california's Golden Bear football
team from Berkeley is as good as
Notre Dame. better than Alabama
and is a standoff with Duke.
These aren't my ideas, I wash I
there They're the ideas OF Bill
Alexander, coach OF the Georgia
Tech football team which bowed to
California. 1870 Monday.
The Berkeley Bears, who have
plaved climax football all season,
pulled another of their fourth per
iod spurts out of the bag Monday
afternoon to rout the southeners.
Vic Bottari and Lou Smith dld
the damage. Held in check Tor
three periods, CALIFORNIA; star
runners spanked two sustained
drives in the now famous fourth
quarter.
Straight Power
It was straight power plays that
carried the Bears down the fleld
and it was straight power that
smashed over the scores. Holes op-
ened in the weary Georgia line ana
Bottari or Smith went crashing
through to a Golden Bear victory.
Coach Stub Allison thus climaxed
three great years at the University
of California. His first year was
not outstanding because he was
building. But in 1897 the Bears
won the Far West conference with
out the loss of a game, then hum
bled mighty Alabama, 1870.
In 1888 the Bears lost only 10
u. S. c. on one of the Trojan's hot
days. Next year, according TO Al
lison, the Bears will be woeiully
weak. But he said that in both
of the past two seasons.
High School Basketball
In a couple OF days high school
basketball players in six valley in
stitutions will 60 back to practice
for the loop cage race, which VIII
open on January l3.
So. without even coming out OF
a trance, I'll review the chances OF
each of the six teams.
Starting with the defending
champion El Centro Spartans We
find that Central has but one re-
turning letterman, Jack Kirkpat-
rick. Kirkpatrick was all-valley
center last year but as yet has not
flashed the form that gave him
that nomination in 1878 season.
