4ztecs Tough

Aztecs Tough :.
Football coaches are a pessimistic
lot at their best. so when a coach
predicts that he will turn out one
OF the greatest teams his institution
has ever seen. then 1t is time to
sit up and take notice.
Grufs Leo Calland, a coach OF
college football teams since 1922,
this week looked over his list of
returning candidates at San Diego
State and made such prediction,
and the opposition teams in the
conference Immediately began TO
shake in their respective boots.
They began to shake because the
man who many rated as the great
est use lineman, seldom boasts
about his team unless he has good
foundation for boaSting.
The only thing that worries Cal
land is his schedule. The Staters
open practice on Sept. 5, then meet
Arizona State on the 2lst. From
Arizona State through their sched-
ule. which ends on Nov. 25 against
Santa Barbara, there is not a
breather
Calland promised a host of triple
threat backs, good blocking and
improved punting and passing, de-
spite the fact he lost ten lettermen
including Al Vanonin and John
Dutch. two of the greatest linemen

Bill Pasty Timmons. 200 pound

the nucleus of the line this fall.
Bounding Bod Couezens. a triple
threat sophomore is expected to be
the sensation of the team, and Bill
Mathie, another triple-threat who
reeled off the longest runs from
scrimmage last year, will aid the
Aztec cause in the secondary.
San Diego State will play nine
games this fall-eight at home and
one away. Four of the home games
will b played at night under the
new lighting system installed in the

One Of the recent additions TO the

19-year-old who would rather toss
= basket ball than dance and prefers
bowling to pouring tea any day.
She is slim, attractive Betty Jen-
sen, daughter of Representative Ben
F. Jensen Of Iowa.
For two years a professional bas-
ket ball player with business girls
team in Des Moines, she looks
strictly feminine and hides, or just
doesn't have, the bulging muscles
reputed to go with girl athletes.
Although she failed to do 80 her
self, Miss Jensen's advice to girls
Is to limit their basket ball playing
to high school games.
professional basket bah Is too
rough" she explained, land the
schedule is too strenuous. We played
81 games a season. practiced three
hours a day and had two Sunday
games week. And we were play
ing boys rules part of that time"
Likes All Sports.
Miss Jensen loves sports-all of
them. When she was In high school,
she used to caddy for her father.
Now they play golf together. She
spends her summers fishing, loves
to hunt, roller skates frequently. is
always organizing bowling parties,
though she can't find many takers
among the other congressional
daughters.
Because she thinks women have
funny attitude" toward sports,
she'd rather play with men. They
take sports seriously, while girls just
play for the pastime, she explained
She went to business school just
to play on the team. 1t was called
the "A. I. B. Typists" and boasted
two all-Americans, Myrtle Fisher
and Elvira Lindgren. Five feet ten
inches tall, though she doesn't look
it, Betty played forward. Her moth
er couldn't object, she explained, be-
cause she had once coached a basket
ball team herself.
Has to Be Careful,
Her spine was injured In one of
the games and though she played In

later, she has to be careful. Even
so. she couldn't resist tossing = bas-

Dispatch Tobacco Issue
Is Now In Preparation

Work has already begun on the
Daily Dispatch's annual tobacco
edition, which will be published
about one week in advance OF the
opening of the auction selling sea-
son on the Henderson market.
The market here opens this year
nearly a week earlier than in 1888,
sales starting on Thursday, Sep
tember 7, and it is planned to bring
out the tobacco issue on Thursday,
August 81, so that there will be
ample time for distribution IN all
parts of the Henderson trading
territory by Sunday before the
opening, and before the golden weed
begins to trickle in for the initial
sales.
Offered as the chief single piece
of publicity in marketing promotion,
the Dispatch in the past has been
able to make a presentation and
appeal on a large scale, through the
cooperation of local merchants. Most
business establishments are always
represented in the publication, and
it is hoped and expected the re-
sponse will be equally as uniform
this year as heretofore.
AS in the past, every advertiser
will have a story written about his
business, relating to its general
