Henry McLemOre)

NEW YORK. Dec. %. CUP)-
Valentin Campolo of Argentina,
Jimmy Johnston's latest white hope,
will follow in the hoofmarks of that
wild bull of the Pampas," Luis
Angel Firpo, and launch his United
States campaign at Laurel Gardens
Newark, N. j.. Jan. 20.
The Newark promoters, Willie
Gilzenberg and Babe Culnan. have
signed Campolo-a big, tough look
ing hombre-for 10 rounds. VAL
entin's first opponent probably will
be selected from among Jim Robin
son, Nick Florentino and Gus Dor
aZio of Philadelphia or Al Boris of
Bridgeport, Conn.
Jimmy Johnston almost sWooned
when his 230 pound importation in
formed him, through an interpreter,
shortly after arriving on the liner
Uruguay Tuesday that he would
prefer Laurel Gardens TO Madison
Square Garden for his official un-
yelling. Jimmy regards Madison
Square Garden as the mecca of
maui. He used to be matchmaker
there.
How come Senor Campolo pre-
ferred the Newark gardens to the
hugh punch emporium that Rickard
built? That's what Johnston want
ed 10 know
Valentin explained that one OF
the last persons to bid him bon
voyage in Buenos Aires was the old
wild bull, Firpo, who campaigned
SO Sensationally in the United States
in the early l920s. Remember, he
was the guy who almost won the
heavyweight championship in %
when he belted Jack Dempsey out
Of the ring.
Firpo, who incidentally returned
tc his native Argentina with a large
fortune in United States dinero
said to 81 year old Campolo. Listen
Chico, that Laurel Gardens in New
ark is lucky place 1t was lucky for
me, and I've got a hunch it1l be
lucky for you if you start out there
DO me favor and give it Whirl.
Valentin idoliZes Firpo. He has 3
lot more respect for the wild bull"
in fact, than for his older brother
Victorio Campolo who made a
pugilistic pilgrimage 10 the United
States 10 years ago, seeking the
heavyweight crown. The elder Cam
polo was a promising heavyweight
but he preferred TO do his training
orally while lounging in a rocking
chair in camp. He lost 70 Planting
Phil" Scott, Johnny Risko and Tom
my Loughran and was belted out
by Ernie Schaaf and Primo Car
nera. He won the rocking chair
championship" instead OF the hea-
yyweight title.
Valentin is 2M1 inches shorter
than the Older Victorio, who stood
six feet six ina4fs. in his corn

school gymnasium laSI year anu tii'
subsequent rise to power of the
Calexico high spurred interest III
the league last season and because
the Bulldogs are regarded as the
best in the loop this year continued
interest is indicated
Prior to last season FL Centre ana
Brawley dominated basketball play
in the valley league and because the
race annually simmered down to
battle between the two schools, val
ley-wide recognition OF the sport
was lacking.
Another school, Holtville high, Will
also be in the thick of the 1910
race, according to reports from
Coach r. S. Walker. who continued
his basketball practices through
the Christmas vacations. The Vikings
have the strongest basketball team
in a decade with KoZo Sanbonmatsu
and Walter Bucket as scoring
nucleus.
Imperial and Calipatria are not
regarded as serious threats in the
league race. Imperial has been hanf
dicapped by the loss of Randy
Foulks, Calipatria lacks the team
strength to hinder Calexico, Braw-
ley, Holtville and FL Centro.

BomI Demonstrations

It's been a couple OF months since
this columnist has been forced TO
walk the gangplank OF football pre-
dictions. so if there are any incor-
rect forecasts in the following list
it's because I'm out of practice.
The football classics staged each
New Years Day in the various bowl
games present a tough list of ball
games for even the most expert of
the experts and I certainly can't be
included in that list.
With the usual courage Of an I'M
perial Valleyite, however. the Bench
Warmer gives you:
Rose Bowl-USC over Tennessee
Superior reserve power again swings
a victory for mighty Troy.
Sugar Bowl-TeXas Aggies over
Tulane-Russ Richmond dissenting
Orange Bowl-Missouri over Geor-
gia Tech-A powerful machine out
classes a tricky Tech squad.
Cotton Bowl-Clemson over Bos-
ton College-On the basis of past
performance only - Wade Ramsey
can tell you more.
Sun Bowl-Catholic over Arizona
State-The only game I'm sure OF.
Pineapple Bowl - Oregon State
over Hawaii-Like Cleopatra took
Marx Anthony.
East over Weston general prin-
cipals.
North over South-Those pesky
YanEs win again.

Suspected Rabid
Dog Observed

HEBER, Dec. 28-A dog suspected
of being rabid was placed under
observation Thursday after it bit
three persons, Deputy Health Off
Ger Lawrence Niles said.
The five -month-old cocker Span
iel had every symptom of rabies he
said. Dogs which came in contact
with the Spaniel were to be quar-
antined Immediately. Niles contin-
ued his investigation Thursday al
ternoon in order to warn owners of
dogs which might have been in
fected with the disease.

plasters. But Valentin is much bet
ter proportioned. He's a brawny
black haired fellow with big. strong
hands like Dempsey. Also, he's re
ported to be a harder hitter than
Victorio was. He has registered l6
knockouts in % professional fights
Valentin will have to go some to
be as successful at Laurel Gardens
as Firpo was. In 81, Firpo stopped
Sailor Tom Maxted there by rabbit
punching poor Toms head into a
pulp. But that was merely inciden-
tai. ShreWd Firpo had his own men
take movies OF that bout. The pro-
moters thought Luis Angel was
having a brain storm about those
movies, but Firpo sold them
throughout Latin America for $28,-
900, and the promoters couldn't cut
in. His purse for the bout was only
$l25, but Luis Angel didn't mind.
He was lucky at Laurel Gardens.

Immediate Trade
Pact With Japan
Declared Unlikely

TOKYO, Dec. %. CUP)-Premier
Nobuyuki Abe said today that the
chances OF a new japanese United
States trade agreement being signed
before the present treaty expires
Jan. 26 were remote.
Abe said he hoped "eXpedient
measures" would be instituted so
amicable trade relations could con-
tinue without a formal agreement.
His remarks followed by a few
hours statements in newspapers
that the United States is trying to
hold a whip hand" over Japan
by maintaining a non -committal
attitude regarding future trade re-
lations.
Abe said Japan is prepared 10
assure the United States of a sup
ply Of war materials even if an Am
erican embargo is ordered on jap
anese goods. He did not go into de-
