the Tigers from Imperial are apt
to make the going tough for some
of the teams in the valley league
this season.
Imperial will come UP with a line
which will average close to 10
pounds, perhaps heavier. The back
field will miss Jim House. but re-
placements may make the secondary
better than last seasons. Naka-
zona, Brackenbury and Nanoman-
tube look like the best backfield
bets at the moment. and Klein
may come up with couple more
stars.
Imperial plays Holtville. Brawley.
possibly Calexico and Ell Centre

showing on the part of the Tigers
will assure them a place in the

Imperial Valleys most recent

Tuesday nights practice and Cen
tral stock was Immediately boosted.
It was feared that Kirkpatrick
might not return this season.
Hanson divided his squad into
three teams to run signals and
practice short passes over the line
of scrimmage. Setting up exer-
cises, passing and some body con-
tact preceded the signal drill.
The squad was expected to re-
turn to the football field for ad-
ditional practice sessions this week,
according to Coach Larry Hanson.
Brawley gridders will continue
practice the rest of the week despite
the fact schools were closed until
Monday. Calexico and Holtville
will also resume practices.
Coach Sheldon Loughborough re-
leased his list of squad members

tender. Now that isn't hitting Louis
can't take much of punch. Every
body knows that. So. if Tony's best
punch couldn't flatten Louis how
can anyone expect it to flatten
Nova. Lou can take it, as you we'll
know If you saw his fight with
Max Baer. Bre'r Baer clipped Nova
with six successive right hand
swings in the sixth round and bare
ly slowed him down. And even
Tony's best friends wouldn't tell
him that he hits any harder than
Baer.
Furthermore. Galento doesn't
figure to hit as hard against Nova
as he did against Louis. The beat
ing he took from Louis just didn't
do him any good. Besides. he has
MT trained as we'll for this fight
as he did for the shot at the title.
And he wasn't any model of deport-
ment then as his manager, Joe
Jacobs, admitted after it was all
over. Galento is likely to be a quick
bleeder in the Nova bout. The cuts
Louis inflicted haven't completely
healed, else why would he have
spent an hour each day soaking
his features in a solution of brine?
1t isn't because he likes brine,
beer being much more to his taste.
Nova has many advantages over
Galento. He is younger, stronger,
in much better condition, and, never
having had shot at the champion
ship, probably much more deter
mined. Tony had had his whack
at the title and nearly got killed
Lou may suffer the same fate when
he makes his challenge, but he does
MT know that yet.

By HENRY McLEMORE

NEW YORK, Sept. IL. iUP) -
There are only two things of which
| am absolutely certain.
One is that no man ever got the
book he wanted from a circulating
library the first time he asked for
it, and the other is that Lou Nova
will beat Tony Galento when they
fight in Philadelphia Friday night.
The Californian can't miss VIM
ming. If the love of money wers.,t
the root of all evil, and If gambling
weren't frowned on in my circle, I'd
go down there with everything 1
could beg. borrow. and shake out
of baby's bank and bet it on Nova.
The report from Philadelphia Is
that the good Burghers of that city,
out of admiration for Galento. have
made him an even money favorite
and are willing to put UP dollar
on him for every Nova dollar that
appears. My. I wish I weren't so
strait-lsced. because. boys. that Is
not only taking candy out of a
baby's mouth-it is taking the candy
out while the baby isn't looking,
or when he is busy adjusting the
ribbons on his cap.
Let me explain why I am so
positive of Nova victory. In the
first place, Galento can't hit any
more. He proved that in the fight
with Joe Louis. Tony nailed Louis
with clean left in the first round,
his very best left.
Two or three years ago similar
punch from Galento would have
knocked down anything that walks
on two legs. In the third round
Galento hit Louis again, right
smack on the profile, and with
everything he had. Granted that
the blow knocked Louis off his
feet, but the champion scarcely took
a count and came up to take the
fight away from the belligerent bar

What, No Feud?

Not so many years ago, alumni
of Central and Brawley high schools
will tell you, 1t wasn't safe for an
Ell Centran to make many trips
into the northend during football
season-and vice versa.
The feuding between the two
towns In those days was very much
on the rough side. and the mere
mention of Spartan and Wildcat
football teams was apt to start a
"minor" civil war between rooters
of the opposing teams.
But on Tuesday night Coach
Sheldon Loughborough of Brawley
stuck his head into the Ell Centre
gymnasium where the Spartans
were practicing. and the players
didn't even bother to look up from
their training grind a second time.
We shudder to think what might
have happened had a Brawley
coach visited an El Centre practice
ten years ago.
Loughborough took his place
among the spectators. chatted with
some of the players, then strolled
out to the floor to discuss certain
phases of the game with Coach
LaHy Hanson. head mentor. at Ell
Centre high.
And thus the enmity between
Brawley and Ell Centro continued
to fade into the background. Friend
illness between the coaches of the
school will naturally tend to bring
players and students of the two
schools closer together.
Cooperation among students OF
the schools will spread to business
men, city leaders and in short
time the valley may be able to
bring about a complete cooperation
between cities of the county. an
accomplishment that has long been
the aim of civic leaders in every
valley town.
True, the football clashes between
the two schools will be just as hard
fought as ever before, but after
the games a spirit of sportsmanship
will prevail. There will be no
fights among players and specta-
tors, such as those that were once

game. As soon as the grain was harvested the
rats arrived But here and there a farmers
bins remained undamaged though rats
plagued all his neighbors. Everyone knew
that such good luck could only be the result of
deal with the devil. And there was the devil
himself - in the form of cat - small and
dark and sinking. walking the farmers yard
on silent, padded feet. 1t wasn't healthy to be
accused of witchcraft during the Dark Ages
and the man who had too much luck soon
wished he hadn't. So cats, who were to blame
for it all, were driven away from all but the
loneliest homes
Black cats, of course, were worst of all.
If you believe that they are associated with
luck, good or bad, the belief is hangover
from the days of witchcraft. Black was the
color of sorcery, and black cats always have
been scarce So, according to the particular
localitys attitude toward magic, black cats
brought good or evil fortune.
The most famous black cat in the world
today lives in England and he owes his fame
to human superstition. Joey, of Number 10
Downing Street, London, is the official mascot
of the British Treasury and feasts on cat meat
and salmon provided by Parliamentary grant.
But no one - not even the Neville Cham
berlains, who share the Prime Minister'S
house with Joey - expected to see the day
when the cats every move would be eagerly
