the showing as a whole was salts
factory for early season perfor-
mances.
zinn and Havens played semi
brilliantly at the end positions,
Stevenson, Voorting and Jones
were effective at tackles, league,
Fabares, Carr, Waterman gave good
accounts at guards. White, Carey
and Osuna divided the pivot posi-
ton job in good style.
An unusual feature of Friday
nights contest was the absence OF
punting. Neither team punted a
single time during the game, Ell
Centre was never forced to punt,
Coachella risked loss of the ball
to gain yardage.
Riedy tailed the first two scores
for ET Centre, in the first quarter.
Both touchdoWnS were set up by
Coachella fumbles.
Riedy Tallies
The read-headed Spartan quar-
terback carried the first touchdown
over on a seven yard smash at
tackle, the second few moments
later on a Is yard slant at right
tackle.
Luther Hester, currently rated
the valleys best backfield candi-
date, scored the third Spartan tally
after kirkpatrick, Hester and
Thompson advanced the ball to
the Coachella three. Hester added
the extra point.
Riedy passed to Kirkpatrick for
the final score in the fourth quar-
ter. Ell Centro dominated play dur
ing the entire game.

Coach Hanson used every player
on the bench during the fiasco, else
the score might have been 500, so

corked a touchdown play in the
final three minutes of action.
Imperial's Tigers, who outgained
Palm Springs, scored first when
Hiroshi Nakazona appeared out Of
thin air to snag a Palm Springs
pass tossed by Allen Hall. Naka-
zona ran 30 yards to score Brack-
enbury missed the try for point
after touchdown.
The Imperial crowd had hardly
ceased yelling, when Hall faded
back again to toss 80 yard pass
to Ralph Gilmore who was stopped
on the Imperial three yard line.
Hall scored the touchdown two
plays later. His attempted place
kick was blocked.
The game was a thriller from
the opening gun. Imperial kept
itself in the hole during the first
quarter with eight fumbles but
came roaring back in the second
and third quarters to outplay the
invaders. Only stalwart work in
the line saved Imperial in the first
quarter however.
Nanomantube, Womack and Ma
kazona were outstanding for the
winners, Hall, Gilmore and Moore
for the losers.

Verdict

YUMA, Oct 6 (SpeciaD Calex-
leo high schools football team, de-
Tending champion in the valley
league, dropped its second straight
decision of the practice season to
Yuma high here tonight by a
22-18 score, but in losing became
a serious threat to repeat as title
holders in the Imperial county
loop.
Calexico high was regarded as
a pennant threat after losing to a
strong Yuma high eleven because
it uncovered a scoring attack with
Jack Bowker and Laure Andrade
as ball packers.
The Bulldogs passed and ran
their way to scores in the first,
third and fourth quarters, Bowker
scoring once Andrade twice.
Meanwhile, however, the fast
running and passing Yuma offense
dented the Calexico goal line in
the second, third and fourth per-
iods, added two conversions and a
safety for four extra points and a
victory.
Calexico, behind 1918 in the
final quarter of play, turned back
a Yuma thrust with gallant
goal line stand, then lost two
more points when Jack Bowker
stepped out of the end zone when
attempting to punt out of danger

FINS FOR FISH

FINS FOR FISH
This winds up the annual series
of fishing columns, as prepared
each Sunday by George Bucklin,
Post-Press fishing editor
The cold weather has set in, the
fish have gone off, to wherever
fish go in the winter. to virtually
end the sport off San Diego waters
until next spring.
But here, this is Georges column
today.
BY George Bucklin-
Sunday, Oct 9Th, has been Of
ficially designated as the final day
of the present deep-sea sports fish
ing season by the H. & NJ. Sport
Fishing Co., which operates the
Mascot 3rd and fast charter boats
from the foot of Broadway in San
Diego. The Star g. Crescent Boat
Co. withdrew their Star Angler
from live-bait boat service last La
Dor Day.
Both companies report success
full season with hundreds of tons
of game fish caught in San Diego
offshore waters and in the vicinity
of the famed Mexican Coronado
islands. Principal varieties caught
included oversize bonito, bluefin
and yellowfin tuna, yellowtail
white sea bass, barracuda, Jewish,
swordfish and myriads of bottom
fish.
Although ocean fishing for sports
anglers has virtually ended until
next spring, Imperial Valley fisher
men have the pleasant alternative
of looking forward to a prolific cat
fishing period this fall. The cats
are reported to be biting encour-
agingly in the Laguna and Imper-
ial Dam areas. Stretches along New
river and the Alamo are also re-
putedly yielding good strings of cat
fish and nullet, most of the latter
being hooked where the drain ditch,
empty into the rivers. Shrimp ap-
pears to be the best all-around bait
for the cats while worms are being
found satisfactory as lure for
mullet.
