The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1939-12-01

Opening the annual prep classic
December 2 will be the Lincoln
Railsplitters VS.. the Queen Anne
Grizzlies. Though this game is
not touted the top attraction, the
two teams should play a very good
wide open game.
In the second game, between the
Rough Riders of Roosevelt and the
Bulldogs of Garfield, will be the
match into which Garfield goes as
the underdog for the first time
since the establishment of the
Charity Games.
Ever since Teddy" Roosevelt
rode up San Juan hill the name of
Roosevelt has had a great deal in
the way of success to any one con-
nected with it. If history is right
and repeats itself, Bill Haroldson's
mighty Teddies may field an at
tack that will make IRIS look
like a sewing bee. But then again
they may not. Those Garfield Bull
dogs aren't to be pushed around by
anybody, from T. r. down to f. d.
Roosevelt's record, however,
more impressive than that of Gar
field is going up against a team
that has steadily improved with
each game and now boasts equally
as many versatile backs as do the
Rough Riders.
With the aid of the heavier and
bigger line, Roosevelt awaits the
starting gun a slight favorite.
Prep fans well know that as long
as Coach Leon Brigham is at the
helm of the purple and white, the
Bulldog ship may come in on time.
Quentin Booker and Art Harris,
freshman greats of the 80 prep
season, are fit for plenty of action
having fully recovered from their
leg injuries.
Upon Booker will fall the signal
calling and blocking assignments,
while teammate Harris will do a
big share of the bail packing, pass
ing and kicking.

Jones To Fight In
St. Louis Dec. 9TH
BY Art Done

Honey Boy" Jones, Seat
tie middleweight, is scheduled
to fight in the st. Louis NUM-
cipal Auditorium Thursday
night, Dec. Z, according to Bill
Roberts, manager. The fast
stepping middleweight's OPP
ponent has not been named,
but Roberts said he would
probably be matched in a return
bout with Ken Overlin, to whom
Jones lost a ten round decision
Tuesday night, Nov. %, when he
threw a low punch in the ninth
round.
Writing in the st. Louis Star
Times, Charles Regain, noted sports
writer said, "Overlin and Jones,
fast and foxy boxers, started
without the usual fencing and
sparring for an opening. The bell
brought them from their corners,
Jones boxing ala Billy Conn, left
hand straight out, and feinting for
chance to shoot a jab, while
Overlin dropped the South paw
back into hooking position and, as
the boys on Sixth street would
put it, he '1et it fly"
Jones hit Ovcrlin with a looping
meth in a wobbly state near the
punch that apparently put Ken
end of the first round, but after a
minutes rest between periods,
Ken came back with a rush at
the start of the second and put
Jonesy on his heels with snappy
right to the lower end of the
face.
1.-THE decision rocked back and
forth, Jones leading and then o.
verlin until finally the Pittsburgh
battler waxed too warm, swung
one unintentional low punch and
thereby put his adversary across
for the victory. 1t had been close
and interesting all the way until
the accidental low punch by the
Negro boy"
According to Roberts, Jones may
have two or three additional bouts
before he returns to Seattle.

SO HELP ME

Jr. loSJ an argument to Paul
Jones" (whiskey to you). For
about six rounds it was even, but
in the seventh Zones" put Jr. a.
way for the night. When Jr.'s
buddy came home, his room looked
like the Chicago fire. Bill totals
$3.50 including the bottle.
A guy asked Benny Prim for
carfare home, and Ben said mo"
The guy asked why, and Ben said,
Il walked all the way from Ten

can walk two miles to where you
live
Ask Bertha Busby how she lost
so much weight so suddenly. l
heard she had a dream that she
was running from Arkansas here,
and when she woke up she had
sweat off 40 pounds.
A very close friend of the petite
Edna Roberts informed me of her
lying ability, or should I say her
imagination.
A chick in town said she would
see a certain woman die in.......
before she got her man. And boy.
she meant il.
frankie Green was shown a Gig
arctic lighter gator" bought at
a store other than his, and hon
estly I felt sorry for him. He ac-
tually looked like man who had
just eaten his brides first biscuits.
To a monkey who is spying on
a wife for her husband: If you
don't keep your nose out of other

the champ of California.
Two ladies who don't like each
other-at all-met in certain
nitery and it got so cold in there
they had to thaw out the whiskey
before people could drink. Both
left in a short while and things
became normal again. No blood
no mop needed.
Someone called up a person they
thought I had written up in this
column and said, did you see
what Joe Station wrote about YOU
in his column The party said,
mo, didn't" However, the party
supposedly written about jumped
me about it. 1 assured her that I
hadn't written about her at all.
This person, so I've been told by
many people, has been cussing me
up and down. All can say is
if this friend thought 1 was writ
ing about you, he or she must
know you can be classed under the
write-up; which would make most
people hang their heads in shame
if they were doing such thing.
So don't be angry with me, get
angry with your friend who thinks
apparently, you're mo good"
personally write nothing in my col
umn I'm not sure about (And I
wasn't dreaming it could touch
you). Now have my doubts since
you're hating me so and hollered so
loud when you took your friends"
word that I meant vOU.
Remember the old saying, "Toss
stone at group of dogs and the
one hit will holler."

death were receiving old age as

good reason why the state should

According to report of the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board
1928 tax payments took 1880
of our national income and the per-
centage increased to 22.4@o in '38.
We were far below foreign coun-
tries in 1928, but the comparison
in 1888 shows Great Britain at
21.796, Germany 1920, France
1880, and Italy 1850. We can
no longer point with pride"
Preliminary steps in the organi-
cation of a committee to actively
campaign for the passage of Ref
erendum No. 5 in November, 1910
were taken in Tacoma on Novem-
Der 16. This measure is the re-
enactment of our present property
tax limitation as submitted to the
people by the last legislature. 1t
will be the fifth time it has been
passed by the people of the state.
1t deserves permanency in our con-
stitution and should be submitted
as a constitutional amendment by
the next legislature.
