Iludy IllS1lO, 1o-o, Oii DSiiNA
Victory for the El Centro Spar-'
tans terminated a dogged, four
vear-old ink, a ink which resulted
in four straight deadlocks in games
played between Brawley and Ell
Centre on the Central gridiron.
Coach Hanson's Spartans, gunn-
ing for their first undisputed
championship since 1886, completely
outclassed their lighter opponents
Friday night to score on power
drives in the first and last quar-
terS.
The FL Centre gridders, who
gained 259 yards running to %
for BraWley, drove deep into BraW-
lev territory on two more occa-
sions in the second quarter, once
in the third and again in the
fourth, but failed to score the
stubborn Brawley defense on those
attempts.
Every El Centro player who saw
action in Friday nights game per-
formed well. Backfieldmen, Hester,
Price, Kirkpatrick, Riedy and
Thompson dispatched their as
signments in splendid style. On
the line Havens, Zinn and Harner
divided end assignments, Jones.
Longacre and Stevenson played
we'll at tackles; Fapares, Peters,
Carr and Waterman at guards and
White and Carey at center.
For BraWley it was courageous
play of the Wildcat forward wall
that deserved the praise.
OutWeighted and outcharged the
BraWley line stiffened to turn back
four El Centro threats and on nu-
merous occasions Harwell, Vinzant
or MeStaS would crash through to
throw Ell Centre ball carriers for
a loss.
First Score
In the BraWley backfield Nav
varo, Skiles, Fleming and Montana
were probably the steadiest players.
Ell Centro's first touchdown and
margin of victory resulted from
sustained drive of 81 yards in the
first quarter shortly after the op-
ening of the game.
The Spartans kicked off to Braw-
ley, held and forced Brawley to
punt. Warren Riedy took Ralph
Skiles punt on the Ell Centro 26,
came back to the 33.
Hester picked up one at tackle,
Riedy made seven at guard and
Hester again smashed for five at
tackle to move the ball to the mid
field stripe.
Kirkpatrick was held for no gain.
Price made four on double re-
verse and Kirkpatrick streaked to
the Brawley 18 yard line on an end
run.
Pass to Hester
Riedy passed to Hester for five
yards, Hester picked up three at
guard, then two to move the pig
skin to the eight yard line. The
tough FL Centre halfback scored
from the six yard line three plays
later. He missed the try for point.
Still dominating play Ell Centro
pushed to the Brawley 18 in the
second quarter but lost the ball on
tumble. Still later, after BraWley
had failed to advance. the Spartans
moved to the BraWley IA only to
lose the ball on downs when the
Wildcat defense closed in.
The third quarter was repetition
of the first and second periods.
Ell Centro pounding, ever pound
ing at the Brawley line, hammered
deep into BraWley territory, only
to fall short of a score.
Then with three minutes to play
in the third quarter, Ell Centre
started march from its SO yard
line.
Kirkpatrick picked up two at
tackle, Hester made II on re-
verse through tackle. Kirkpatrick

Occasionally, says Dumb Dora
the Bench Warmer must have
something worth reading in this
column, so twice each year D. D.
condescends to write her views on
sports events.
Last night, that is Friday night,
Dumb Dora took in the Central
Brawley football game and came up
with these observations:
It's a LUCKY thing FOOTBALL
lasts only a COUPLE of months be-
cause already my BOY FRIEND and
I are not speaking, all on account
of Football which brings out the
WORST in Mans nature.
Friday night he said very CAS-
UALLY. well I guess you won't
mind if I go To the football game
and take you TO the Dance after
wards and was quite PUT OUT
when I said I was going to the game
too on account of How the Post
Press would like my opinion on this
Seasons games. He muttered some
thing which sounded like they
must be hard up but I pretended
NOT to Hear-there was no use
paying attention to JEALOUSY and
SO we went.
WHAT'S THE HURRY?
To begin with he was in such a
rush to get where he could see the
Kickoff-as if they didn't Do that
at every game. that he was AN
NOYED when I couldn't Walk fast
on Account of my High Heels and
said What Did you Have to wear
those D. things for?' With
dignity I explained that I wanted
to Look my Best for my PUBLIC
but he said no one was going TO
Look at Me-they went to see the
Game However I NOTICE that a
CUTE looking GIRL in a GOOD
LOOKING OUTFIT can distract
the RIOTERS quite a bit. But
FOOTball just makes them lose
their manners.
Well we Got there and was Busy
Looking around to see What GIRLS
were going with WHAT BOYS as
there's nothing ELSE to do at
FIRST as the teams always do the
same silly things like RUNNING
around that FUNNY way on their
TOES and TRYING to throw the
ball around. Then They Have to
go through all that CHILDISH
business of seeing which Side they
Play on and at Night What Diff
ference Does That Make? I Think
MORE entertainment at this time
WOULD be a good Idea. sort of

don't the RIOTERS Drill or do
something to take up the TIME
HAIRDRESSES BETTER
Well, I was busy looking at
Clothes and while I think Some
girls Look SWELL in Stacks there
are Others which had better re-
member that while CURVES are in
BULGES are STILL OUT. On the
whole, the hairdresses are BETTER
and / did see an awfully CUTE
girl in navy blue slacks and a RED
Jacket and Know now Why they
call that new shade of red STOP
Red. Lots of the girls were all
Dressed up to go to the DANCE
SO ! don't see why I can't wear
High Heels too, in fact, was try
ing to POINT that out to my boy
friend when he said, SHUT UP
I CAME to see the Came How

My Back on Him because there
wasn't much to SEE, just the teams

 "Now the test must come," thought Eric. Something will happen" And it did. A rough lit tie wind opened a window right in back of the Kings chair. The King grew cold. He wrapped his robe about him. But he was too courteous to rise and spoil the program. Not one of the princesses saw that he seemed uncomfort- able. One danced, one sang, one played the harp, one told stories, and one was so beautiful she did nothing at all.
 But some one did slip quietly around the room and close the window. The King smiled a thanks up at her. It was Elsa in her old black dress and shawl "Why, it's Elsal It's ElsaI" shouted Eric.
 Every one looked terribly sur- prised at him. You see no one but Eric and Leezen knew the req son for the party.

 At noon bugles were heard from five hills and there came riding, carrying banners, a brave company behind which rode five beautiful princesses. The first to arrive wore golden dress. She curtsied to Santa and said, We have been invited here. And we have ridden all night"
 Eric watched, leaning against a window frame, standing next to the chair in which Leezen sat. He smiled quietly and watched the King of Westphalia who was bow ing courteously to the company. He obviously didn't know the party was for him.
 The whole group banqueted richly. And afterwards one prin- cess sang, one danced, one played harp, one told stories, and one was so beautiful she did nothing at all.

ERIC lay awake long after IL all the Toyshop had dropped off to happy dreams. How" worried Eric, lam I to tell who would be the right queen for the King. Maybe the Queen of Fairies will tell me" |" So he ran out of the Toyshop and blew trill on his flute. In a twinkling the little Queen was standing on his shoulder. He asked his question.
 She said, Bring all the neigh boring princeSses here. Watch them and you will see. One will be the kindest. That will be the one"
 But all the princesses are gracious" said Eric.
 "Wait and see," said the Queen and she was gone.
 So Eric piped up a flock of woods fairies. Go spread the news," he said. 'That the King of Westphalia wishes a queen and bring every one back by high noon."
 The fairies fiuttered off and Eric went back to sleep. Break fast was merry. Santa sat next to Elsa, and Mrs. Santa poured hot chocolate for everyone. The King of Westphalia asked Eric what the day would bring there. So Eric laughed mischievously down at Santa and said,
 Sire, you will have busy day. The news has gone out that you have a famous guest, and there will be visitors. Five or six prin- cesses will be here with their courts by noon."
 A Brave Company
 "Gracious!" said Mrs. Santa "We must rush and bake. In a second the Toyshop was in a hustle. Gnomes were sweeping of the walks. Fairies were hanging Christmas wreathes. Just before noon Mrs. Santa put on her prettiest dress of white velvet with red holly em b o idle d

SCHOOL OPERETTA
 SCORES DEFINITE HIT

Applause was not lacking from the packed auditorium of the Doug las High School last night as the evening presentation of the grade school operetta, "A Christmas Carol'' by Charles Dickens, was put over with unusual success.
 Staged with appropriate scenery, costumes, and lighting, the produc- ticn was an artistic, dramatic and musical success.
 The operetta is a version of the famous story winch tells of Eben- ezer Scrooge, an old miser who has lost his love for humanity He had no true Christmas sporit. Bob Crat- chit, a poor struggling clerk, working for Scrooge, is the father of the lov- able child, Tiny Tim.
 Jacob Marley, Scrooge's old part ner, who has been dead for seven years, comes back to haunt the miS- CT and bring him back to happy childhood memories. After much thought, provoked by the messages of the spirits, Scrooge comes to ap- preciate Christmas.
 Introduced in the operetta are some new characters not included in the original story. Cleverly writ ten numbers, in both dances and songs are presented in the perform ance. Colored lighting also played an effective part.
 The eccentric Scrooge was por- trayed by Obert Havdahl, Billy De- von was Bob Cratchit, and Mrs. Cratchit, Alfredo Fleek Fred, the nephew of old Scrooge was played by Curtis Bach. The ghost of Jacob Marley was Melvin Shudshift, Betty Bennett. Patsy Fleek, Lucille Goetz, and Peggy Cochrane as Sprites, pre- scented many lively dances and song melodies.
 Ralph Kibby, Mickey Pusich, Law renee Harju, Louis Bennett and Rob- ert Savikkc were ghosts who pay Scrooge a vist. The waifs were Her bert Bonnet, Patsy Balog, Carol Ruotsala, Noreen Andrews and Don aid Bonner.
 Characters portraying Scrooge's past were Solveig Havdahl, his sweetheart; Wilfred Rice as Robin son Crusoe; also the first and sec- end gentlemen who were Billy Os- borne and Otto Pfeiffer, respective ly Florence and Rudy Krsul were the Fizzziwigs and Helen Isaac and Jay Daniels, the flags. Joe, the iunk-dealer W as portrayed by Joe Hash
 The entire grade school was pre- scented on choruses and other char acters not mentioned in the above list.
 Particularly good was the singing and dancing of the Sprites, parade of the Ghosts. Obert Havdahl's portrayal of miser Scrooge was out standing. The part of the orphan boys was good, too The part of Mar leys ghost, by Melvin Shudshift was capably played. Billy Devon gave a good impersonation of Bob Critch- it.
 Among the younger characters Douglas Hudson and Shrly Ann Ed- wards played the part of Boy and Girl especially we'll
