in the ring" Morgan said. Hes
just too handsome, with that per-
feet profile, soulful eyes. and wavy
black hair. Any clinching he does
should be before camera, with a
cute looking doll in his arms. He
doesn't need a referee to handle
him, but director
Morgan then outlined Lesnevich' S
plan of attack for tonight, and it
is one based on mans vanity. Les
nevich. who couldn't win beauty
contest even with framed judges,
will concentrate his punches on
Conn's body. He figures, along with
Morgan who will be in his corner,
that Conn is proud of his good looks
and will spend all his time and ef-
forts defending his face.
Billy will be so worried about
getting those dreamy eyes messed
up, or that nose knocked an inch
or two out of line, or those classic
ears whacked out of shape, that he
will leave himself wide open for a
body attack" Morgan said. 80, to
capitalize on his vanity, Gus has
concentrated on developing a
straight right to the body that is
killer. The same sort of punch,
you know, that Tunney ruined Greb
and Dempsey with. Gus shoots
it Tor the heart, and when he lands
few times the light heavyweight
title will change hands. Now, if
Conn were just little uglier he
would be much better fighter and
much tougher for us to lick"
Morgans is a beautiful theory,
but the gamblers about town are
not paying much attention to it,
Conn, the sweetest boxer the ITS
pound class has seen since Jack
Delaney was at his dancing best, has
been made a l-2 favorite to lick the
mauling Russian, and probably will
be as short as l to 3 at bell time.
The oldtimers have gone into rap
lures over Conn's speed and grace
and natural boxing instincts, and
think that with little filling out
he is only 22-will be a man even
Joe Louis will fear by next summer.

Billy Conn were the possessor of
a set of buck teeth, or a pair of
matching crossed eyes, or a reced-
ing chin, or any other drawback
to masculine beauty he would stand
a much better chance of beating
Gus Lesnevich in their Is round
bout at Madison Square Garden to-
night.
At least that is the opinion of
Dumb Dan Morgan, and one must
respect Dumb Dams opinion on
matters fistic because he has been
watching fights and fighters since
before they stopped counting Re-

Coach Albert Klein announced Fri
day as he prepped his football
players for what Imperial consid-
cred its big game" of the season.
They chose the Brawley game as
the date for Alumni day at I'M
perial high because it will match
the 1889 Tiger football machine
against a northend eleven coached
by Sheldon Loughborough, former
Imperial mentor. +-,
Imperial's rapidly improving foot
ball team was not expected to defeat
the Brawley footballers, but the Tt
ger gridders planned to shoot the
works. in an attempt to score the
upset of the season.
Up Brawley way they were busily
pointing for more important
league game and the Wildcats viii

tional practice session after the
loop contest.
Thus the cards were stacked ia.
vorably for the Imperialites to score
their long-sought upset" and play

Of Stage Saturday

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. II. (UP)
Saturdays football program on the
Pacific coast should be called the
/ tape and liniment parade.
Practically every major team en-
gaging in combat tomorrow is de-
pending on liniment. tape and
braces to hold together key players
long enough TO put across the VIC
tories they seek.
The big game OF the day finds
Santa Clara, king of the indepen-
dents, and UCLA, still in the run
ming for the Pacific Coast confer
ence title, battling in Los Angeles.
Much depends on the ability OF
Jack Robinson, UCLA right half,
and Jimmy johnson, Santa Clara
left, to hold out through most OF
the game. Robinson hasn't played
for two weeks and may not be
ready for one of his teams biggest
tests. johnson worked only for a
short time against Michigan State
last week. In addition Santa Clraa'S
quarterback, Ray Mccarthy, is on
the casualty list.
Oregon State comes up to its
game with California at Corvallis
smelling like a hospital ward. Six
Beaver players were injured last
week, including keymen Jimmy Kis-
selburgh, Al Olson and Morrie Koh-
ler Several linesmen also were tap
ed up. Their ailments give Califor-
mia. itself wrecked by preseason
and early season injuries. a chance
TO avoid its seventh defeat and
avoid being California's worst team
in history.
The situation was serious at STAN
ford, where Tiny Thornhill was
wondering whether he would have
to reach into the reserves for var
sity material. Jim Groves, right
half. quit for the season this week
because of shoulder hurt.
Washington State also reported
a star missing, with halfback Jim
Emerson out since the first minute
of last weeks game against Idaho.

ing on the outcome OF tonlghtS en-
counter, Ell Centro was forced to
go into the game without the SER
vices of Max zinn, end; and Jack
Kirkpatrick, halfback.
Glen Shumard, fiery halfback-
converted wingman, will get the
starting call at Max's position and
Bill Thompson, senior back, is ex-
pected to start at Kirkpatrick's spot.
Brawley's squad, for the first time
this season. was reported intact.
The Wildcats, with everything to
win, nothing to lose, will toss every
trick in the books into tonight's
tussle for a victory which would
make an otherwise poor season sue

El Centre revamped its defense

Note From The Cuff

You've heard the bally = hooers
toot the horn for Jack Gray, the
Walker brothers and Stacey Morgan
But my choices for the out
standing football players in Impe-
rial Valley this season are Big Bob
Ballou and Woodrow 1ngle, center
and tackle respectively on the e
Centre junior college football team.
Ballou, who plays defensive full
back is G tower OF strength often
sively and defensively. He is an
alert ball hawk against passing,
makes a large share of the tackles
and fills his assignment to perfec-
ton on offense :.
Ingle is one of those steady foot
ball players you read about He
makes his share of the tackles and
a few for the other fellow too
He carries out his assignment on
offense and is a capable team man..
Take Ingle and Ballou off the
junior college football team, and
you take the foundation right out

A II year old blonde venus, Lu-

The 20" on the back of her white

for Ann Sheridan of the movies.

I think I'd rather coach a girls

In practice, she boots about eight
placements out of 10 tries, but she
hasn't Jared so well in play. She
has kicked but two. missed one
and had two blocked in five at

She is a natural kicker" said
Coach Ellington. who works with her
20 minutes each day. she has an
easy motion and a nice leg snap.

ship SO she may have the oppor-
tunlty of a college education"
Andy said he wanted to add some
color to the team and thought of
this idea when he heard the co-eds
complaining that football was en-
tirely a mans game.
i asked the girls to try out for
the team" he explained. "Luverne
showed talent from the very begin

surprised the fans by kicking her
second attempt in the opening game
of the season"
A junior. Miss Wise enjoys prac-
tice because the "boys treat me
SWELL" but she confessed she got
pretty nervous the day before a
game. Weighing only l13 pounds
and wrapped in big blanket, she's
practically invisible when she sits

Contrast in Eugenics
CNew York Times)

MT Rudolph Binder states in The Eugenica News that the fifteen years that followed the World War Germany lost between ten and twelve mion-several times the number who succuinbed to bullets and lack of food The decline in the number of births prompted Hitler to put through his Law for the Promotion of Marriages in 1893. MT Binder finds that it has succeeded in large measure. Loans up to 900 marks granted to newlyweds in the form of orders for goods stores; the withdrawal of 100000 women from the labor market; some increased pros perity which followed the granting of the loans; the subsidzing of families with than five children and a partial remission of taxes in proportion to the number of children in a family have had their effect The birth date has risen from less than million in l933 to 130o000 in 1887.
 Yet eugenists question the general soundness of this policy. They contrast the German method with the method of Sweden whose birth rate has also been declining As Mrs. Ava Myrdal presented the case at meeting held recently in New York, Sweden does not pay parents to have children It is the children who rewarded And the reward takes the form not of presents cash easy taxes but of baby clinics medical supervision good homes made available at low rents The emphasis is therefore doubleon eugen ics, because human quality is stressed, and good social conditions because without them a sound stock cannot thrive.
 There is a vast difference between being bribed environment for children that parents want The one is the totaitaran the other the democratic way of meeting important issue
