SINNERS; New
Hostilities Seen
By ROBERT McSHANE

BY ROBERT McSHANE
released by Western Newspaper Union.)
THOUGH the Battle of Pomonok
: is now past history, it may have
repercussions which will effect the
entire structure of the Professional
Golfers association.
You are undoubtedly familiar with
golfdom's great war. Storm clouds
started gathering as soon as p. G. A.
ofiicials notified Denny Shute, two
time tournament winner, that he was
guilty Of a technicality in not pay
ing his 1889 association dues within
properly prescribed time limits, and
therefore was not eligible to play
in the p. G. A. classic on the Pomo-
nok course at Flushing, N. Y.
Shute's fellow players were
aroused. In fact, they were so
aroused they decided not to play
until the tournament committee lift
ed its official ban against Denny.
The striking players held up tourna-
ment play for two hours before that
permission was finally granted.
One man was responsible for de-
claring Shute in. That was George
Jacobus, president of P. G. A. He
over-ruled his II governors through
his action, thereby making II poten-
tial enemies. Jacobus' position was
not an enviable one. He, of course.
realized Shute had violated p. G. A.
bylaws, and was constitutionally in
eligible to play. On the other hand,
he was aware of the associations
duty to the large gallery which had
Glacier County chief., 1939-08-04

gathered to see the play. And it
seemed there wouldn't be any play
unless Shute was in the midst of it.
II has since been revealed that
Shute was in favor of dropping the
protest and Withdrawing in the in
terests of diplomacy. When the ar
gument was at its height, Dens-
more said, in effect:
"The officials have my okay. The
rules are on their side, and I lost
my chance to play. So forget this
strike and 60 out and play GOLF"

KNOXVILLE. Tenn, Oct. 20. CUP
This is the land of the big smokes,
and where there is smoke there is
fire.
II will break out here tomorrow
when big Tennessee meets bigger
Alabama in the top game of the day
and, possiblyA, of the year. If foot
ball is important in the scheme
of American things, then this one is
front rank.
There are a iot of things riding
on the outcome, not the least i'm
portant of which is the happiness
of those two sovereign states, Ala
bama and Tennessee. Down where
the clay is deep and the cotton boil
is rich and full. Alabama is count
ing on its Crimson Tide TO roll
again over all opposition TO anoth-
ei Of its many national champion
ships. Here, where the hills are
high and the smoke of moonsine
stills curls against te autumn sky,
Tennessee is calling on its volun-
teers TO give the state its first clear
claim TO national honors.

Imperial Gridders


Imperiais showing against Holt
vile Thursday night proved rather
conclusiyeiy that the Tigers cam
not hope TO enter the valley league
for a couple OF years at least.
The Tigers have a strong foot
ball team in their own right, but
as yet the Tigers are not fortified
well enough To enter the tougher
competition offered by the valley
league teams.
Man for man on the varsity line
up Imperial might match other
valley teams, but reserve power of
the Tigers is about as potent as
that of Cal Tech.
Injuries are certain TO result If
Imperial insists on playing valley
league teams.
on the other hand If the Impe-
rial Tigers schedule games against
Palm Springs, Blythe and other
schools in their class, few injuries
would result, their record would
be virtually unblemished and even
tually they might emerge as a VAL
ley league power.
Officials, who worked Thursday
nights game against Holtville
praised the courage OF the Imperial
high gridders. praised their execu-
ton of assignments. But all agreed
the Tigers weren't ready for an
invasion of the valley league ranks.

Football For Keeps

Football For Keeps
Imperial Valley football teams
have begun TO play for blood as
well as honor these days, and on
Thursday night two of the county's
smallest high schools put on the
biggest show of the season.
II all happened in the last As
seconds OF the first. and possibly
the last, Imperial -Holtvine football
game In history 1t started because
Imperial took a lacing from Holt
vile In a bruising battle-and re-
sented IL.
Before order was restored two
players were put out of the game,
one Holtville player had been slug
ged to the ground and the referees
were jostled about by a crowd of
unfriendly spectators.
The outburst was natural enough
because Imperial was playing for
high stakes in the Holtyille tilt.
A victory or good showing would
have clinched entrance into the
valley league for the Imperial Tig-
ers.
As 1t was Imperial was outplayed
by a superior Heltville eleven. Fans
and players alike had TO blow off
their steam and disappointment in
some manner.
But 1t is unfortunate that the
crowd placed the blame upon the
shoulders of the officials in the
game. Unprejudiced observers de-

Ne ar Riot Fe atures
Viking 200 Win
Over Tiger III

Holtville high schools rugged
football team painted a black pic
ture of valley league competition
for Imperial high schools gridders
Thursday when the Viking machine
punctured the Tigers, 300 on I'M
perial field.
There was considerable doubt IN
valley football circles whether I'm
perial was ready to enter the valley
league. following Friday nights
game, because from Holtville came
the report that the Vikings held
back to keep the score from mount
ing.
Whether or not Holtville held
down the score, it was obvious that
the Imperial football team could
not hope to cope with other valley
league squads later in the season
when injuries begin to take their
toll
Near Riot
Thursday nights contest was
highlighted by an outbreak and
near riot toward the end of the
game.
A smashing tackle by Leon Loo
ney precipitated the near riot Holt
vile was penalized Is yards on the
play for unnecessary roughness,
but before the referee could step
off the penalty, an Imperial player
jumped from the bench, ran to
the playing field and knocked Loo
ney to the ground.
AS if summoned by a signal, I'm
perial and Holtville fans rose to
their feet, swept on to the field.
Quick work by officials averted
gang fight and the game was
completed with unfriendly spec
tators milling about the field.
Referees came in for their share
of the abuse after the game was
completed, but unprejudiced on
lockers agreed that the officials
did remarkable job of officiating.
First Score
Leon Looney, outstanding often
sive player on the field, passed to
Walter Bucket for the first Holt
vile touchdown in the opening Pc
riod. The pass climaxed a punting
battle in which Holtyille moved
deep into Imperial territory.
Looney scored the second touch
down early in the second period
when he skirted end for four yards,
after rs yard scoring drive. Kozo
Sanbonmatsu ran over with the
final score OF the night early in
the fourth period to complete a 35
yard push. Zumstein added both
extra points.
Imperial threatened only once, in
the third quarter when the Tigers
completely outplayed the Holtville
eleven. Danskin passed to Bracken-
bury for a As yard gain to the
Holtyille 30. Danskin passed to Ma
nomantube for 10 more.
Imperial added 18 on running
plays but the attack begged down
on the Holtville one when the Vik-
ing defense stiffened.

Ho|tvi||e Crushes Imperial League
Hopes; Ca|exico Looms as Power
Bulldogs Give Foes
Cause for Wory
With Victory

A strong Calexico high school
football team, defeated by Yuma
and Grossmont in other preseason
struggles. reentered the valley
league grid picture Friday as the
Bulldogs looked back over Thurs
day nights 200 triumph over Her
bert Hoover junior varsity on Cal
exico field.
While the Hoover reserves were
admittedly too weak to meet the
thrusts of the Calexico grdders, the
blocking and tackling of the Cal
exico line, and the running of An
drade, Tajn and Bowker, gave the
other valley coaches a reason to
worry about the defending champs
from the border city.
After a scoreless first half, in
which the Bulldogs once moved to
the Hoover IL only to lose the ball,
the Calexicans went to work to
score twice in the third quarter,
once in the fourth.
Jack Bowker set up the first
touchdown for Calexico after re-
turning a Hoover punt to the Hoo
yer 11-yard line. BoWker scored
three plays later. King booted the
extra point.
Calexico tailed again in three
minutes of play. King recovered a
Hoover tumble and Calexico went
over in five plays. Andrade scored
the touchdown, King kicked the
extra point.
Calexico scored its final touch
down midway in the fourth period,
when Bowker again made a bril-

liant punt return. He scooped up
the kick at midfield and travelled
to the Hoover Is before stopping.
Andrade scored the touchdown
three plays later. Andrade missed

the only outstanding players on the
Hoover team, but their sterling play
was not sufficient to give the Cal
