Hanson Frets as
Spartans Prepare
For rSWeetwafer

If you hear Coach Larry Hanson
mumbling to himself as he hurries
to and from the football field these
days, it's because he's worrying
about an engagement he has to
keep Friday night at 8 o'clock.
The engagement is with foot
ball team from Sweetwater high
school, and Coach Hanson must
send his Spartan gridders up
against their first stiff competition
of the year.
In order to prepare his charges
for what may develop into the
Spartans' first defeat of the season,
Hanson has stressed blocking and
tackling in workouts this week.
Sweetwater boasts one of the
strongest teams in the Metro league
despite the fact Biff Gardeners crew
dropped a decision to Escondido
last week.
The invaders have developed a
tricky passing offense, good run
ming attack and hard charging
defense.

Braw|ey Gridiron
Weaknesses Vanish
In Prep Sessions

Brawley high schools gridiron
weaknesses began to disappear to-
day as Coach Sheldon Loughbor-
ough drilled his charges on punt
ing, pass defense and individual
line assignments on offense.
Those weaknesses were the ones
which cropped up in the Grossmont
game last week and were the rea-
sons Brawley finished on the short
end of 60 score.
Redlands high school, a bunch
of tricksters with a pigskin, will
be in Brawley Friday night to en-
gage the Wildcats in a second pre-
season practice game.
Coach Loughborough, who re-
ported his squad in good shape
physically. will start the same line
up which saw action in the first
minutes of the -GFossnont game.

NEW YORK, Oct. IL. (UP)-If
you are thinking of buying a foot
ball expert, this week is the time
to do it.
After the game last Saturday,
football experts have been reduced
in price from a dime dozen to
seven cents a dozen. All over the
country monster sales are being
held. In the middle west you can
buy marked down experts, slightly
damaged by their picking of North
western over Oklahoma; here in the
east some of the greatest bargains
are those experts who hailed Ford
ham as invincible and Holy Cross
as even a little more than that.
With so many of the ranking
teams on the west coast already
beaten or tied they are holding
lone cent sales of football selec-
tors. You pay the regular price
for one expert and for a penny
more get another one thrown in.
Havingl posed as a football ex-
pert on occasions myself, it grieves
me to report that the sales aren't
doing very well. Buyers are pass
ing them right up in favor of more
useful objects such as. antimacas-
sar sets for backless chairs and
vest pocket compasses for 1homing
pigeons. ). &c.
Come to think of it, just what is
a football expert?
AS far as I can figure 1t, he is a
baseball expert with heavy over
coat, or tennis expert with a hat,
or golf expert with a column to
fill in the fall months.
The football experts are the men
who are responsible for 80 per cent
of the so-called upsets which occur
during the season. For instance,
Alabamas victory over Fordham
was hailed as an upset. Why?
Because nine-tenths of the sports
writer's had picked Fordham to
win. They were convinced that
Fordham was the better team, and
they had convinced their readers
of the same. However, the victory
was no upset to the Alabama team
or to its hackers who came from

White Sox Again
Whip Chicago Cubs

CHICAGO, Oct. II. UP)-The
American league closed the books
on the baseball season with another
record today and the credit goes,
not to the powerful Yankees who
almost cornered the record mar
ket this year but to the fourth
place White Sox.
The Sox usually take second bill
ing to the National league Cubs,
their wealthy city rivals, but they
routed the Cubs last night, I'll, in
the seventh and final game of their
city series, retaining a city title
they have kept in the American
league since 1890.

Bulldogs Stress
Defensive Play

Tackling and defensive line play
were on the must practice list at
Calexico high school this week as
the Bulldogs returned from a bruis-
ing 22-18 defeat at the hands of
the Yuma Criminals last Friday
night.
The Calexico offense was pleas
ant to watch as the Bulldogs ran
up three touchdowns, but the Bull
dog defense left much to be desired
at times.
Calexico is idle this Friday night,
so Coach Covington planned a week
of stiff workouts to polish the Bull
dog defense in order that the south
erners will be ready to make a
defense of their valley champion
ship.

I admit it's a day early for the

hot tips that 1 just couldn't hold
them any longer.
The seasonal record. by the way,
now reads 26 hits for the Bench

of sos. Not too good we'll agree,
but the crystal ball" has had four
years of hard service and needs
overhauling.

Walker indicated he would start
the same lineup which opened
against Hemet last week. Bucket
and Cardwell will be at ends,
zumstein and Thiesen at tackles,
Tanase and Weeks at guards, Sharp
at center and Sanbonmatsu, Harris,
Page and Looney in the backfield.
The Holtville eleven will play
Imperial one week from Friday in
the first valley league clash. The
game will not be counted in the

Junior college Saturday night.
With Sander and Gray in the
lineup the Arabs will be rated an
even bet against their traditional
rivals from Phoenix on Central
field, Armstrong pointd out.
The game, which will start at 8
o'clock Saturday night, will pit two
hard charging lines against each
other, two fast moving backfields.
Coach Armstrong, who plans to
score the first Central victory over
Phoenix in ten years, gave his
charges new plays and polished
old ones in practices Wednesday
and planned to give out few more
on Thursday.
Attitude of the squad is good,
Armstrong said, and if the fellows
continue to concentrate on block
ing and tackling as they have in
drills thus far in the week, the
Phoenicians are in for a tough
evening.
El Centro tied Phoenix with a
weaker team last season, but re-
ports from Arizona indicate the
Phoenix Bears have improved just
as much as the Ell Centrans.
The junior college mentor will
start the Walker brothers, Marvin
and Earl at the other posts in the
backfield. The same line that start
ed the Citrus j. c. tilt will be on
hand Saturday night.

The favorite game of Danny and

suppose. That is what it really is

Neither would there be half the

nearer and nearer, all the time
thinking that Danny doesn't see
him. Just as he gets almost within
jumping distance Danny will dive
out Of sight through one Of his little
round doorways. Raddy will rush
forward and begin to dig furiously.
Danny will scamper along one of his
tunnels and in a moment will pop
his head out of another little round

he watches Reddy digging for moth

never would see them at all. But
then, as Danny says, there wouldn't

So whenever Danny finds good

easily he makes his way to the sur
