track on the path which leads to
the valley football championship.
Sharing the spotlight with El
Centre and Calexico will be Brawley
and Holtville football teams, which
will battle for positions at the end
of the ladder in game schedule
for o'clock Friday night at Holt
vile.
Brawley and Holtville, both vic
TINS of Ell Centre and Calexico, will
fight to remain out of the valley
league cellar and retain slender
chance to win the first place rung.
Holtville, on paper, should have
slight edge, but up Brawley way
they're defying records in an ef-
fort to score the first league vic
tory for Brawley in eleven starts,
covering three seasons of play.
All valley league teams took a
forced layoff Wednesday because
of rain and scheduled only light
practice Thursday afternoon. The
layoff aided Ell Centre and Braw-
ley, hindered Holtville slightly and
failed to affect Calexico.
All teams reported squads intact.

about four weeks and Mrs. Scott
was sick the first two weeks, SO we

between GAINESVILLE and Pittsburgh

boat The railroad came in, he re-
calls, about the time he himself be-
came day laborer on the locks.
'First | can remember Of a river
boat is when the Lorena made her
first trip up the Muskingum out of
her stocks at Parkersburg," he
said. II was nine years old, and
there was a crowd of so of us skat-
ing on the river. The Lorena came
nosing through the ice, and we skat-
ed right alongside her for a piece. .
Demster recalled when river
traffic was SO heavy the Lorena
wouldn't take any more freight, be-
cause her safeguards were filled
with standing cattle, and her "Tex-
as'' was filled with chicken coops.'
"You could look out from boat
deck almost any time and see a
drove of hogs, or maybe flock Of
turkeys being driven along the ma
tional road to the East Liberty mar
ket in Pittsburgh" he said.
For other old rivermen and stu
dents of river lore Demster laid out
the following Incidents:
The rifles between McConnelsville
and Eagleport, where Newt Price
gained fame as pilot.
The Anderson and McElhiney
rifles, the latter the ford where
General Morgan crossed the Mus
