The Imperial county track and
field meet. to be run at the El
Centre high school cinder path Fri
DAY night. Tuesday resolved into a
battle between Brawley and El
Centre as entries for the annual
event were filed at a meeting of
valley coaches Monday night.
FL Centre and Brawley entries
dominated the varsity division. all
schools entered a share of athletes
in the B division and Brawley DOM
mated c division lists.
Other schools. which will send
boys into competition, Holtville,
CaleXico, Imperial. Douglass. and
Calipatria. will serve only as an
noyanceS to hopes of Brawley and
El Centre.
Douglass. for instance will cut
into Fl Cenro's point total in the
varsity division and Holtville will
take points away from both of the
favoriteS in the B division.
Because of BraWley's outstanding
power in the c division. the Wild
cats were generally rated as the
team to beat.
Best races of the night, from the
spectators point of view, will be
the 100 yard dash. the 200, quarter
mile and mile. Payton Cook and
Jack Kirkpatrick of Douglass and
El Centro high schools, will battle
for the sprint honorS. A match race
between Armando Amador of CAL

Imperial Valley league coaches
halted in the middle of their Sched-
ule making at meeting Monday
night. pondered the adviSability of
Imperials entrance into the foot
ball loop, and reversed their deci-
sion.
One week ago schools heads Of
the valley voted Imperial into the
league. but at Monday nights con-
ference Coach Ed Covington Of
CaleXico and Coach Noval Walker
of Holtville agreed that it would
be injurious to Imperial and to
the league for the Tigers to at
tempt to meet the stiffer competi-
ton.
Coach Larry Hanson of El Centre
announced that now was the time
for Imperial to enter, if the Tigers
ever planned TO take part, but in
dicated he thought it inadviSable.
Coach Bob Erskine was not avail
able for a decision but the Wildcat
mentor previously voiced an opin-
ion similar to that of Covington,
Il am not trying to run Imperial's S
business Covington said and
Walker concurred, but it seems
to me that it would be advantage
Gus to both Imperial and to the
league if that school would con-
fine grid activities to the B league
and against schools of its own size. -
III Imperial should enter the
league it would lower gate receipts
of other schools and would destroy
interest in an otherwise perfectly
balanced league" Noval Walker
said.
"Holtville. Calexico, Ell Cenho
and Brawiey would massacre the
Tigers and there is the danger that
Imperial players would be serious
ly injured" Walker concluded
So the meeting adjourned to next
Monday when the Imperial case
will be considered further.

One floor above, as I try to write

One floor below me a batch of
Kentucky Colonies, fresh in from

ing songs they will sing to anyone
anytime, anywhere, for the remain

judge from the encores they are
demanding of themselves, is novel
and unknown (to me) little tune

All of this because of the horse.
Louisville, you see, won't Cor can

horse. Other cities can take the

Louisville. This has been going
on for 65 years or more, too, which
leads me to believe that Colonel
Matt Winn, head of the Churchill
Downs track, is the most amazing
man in the world.
l believe him to be the most
amazing man in the world because
he has survived ga consecutive

Colonel Winn has seen them all,

The Derby is supposed to be a

but nothing like the test it is for

pean war develops, Britain and
France can expect no implements of
war from the United States. The ag-
gressors would get no comfort, how
ever, out Of such legislation as
Mr.. Hull proposes. Since Britain
and France presumably would con-
troll the seas, British and French
ships would have exclusive &C
cess to American supplies. In
evitably the trouble-makers Of Eu-
rope would be inclined to think
twice before plunging Europe into
war. And Congress, II 1t is wise, will
think twice before 1t shirks its neu-
trality legislation duties and lends
encouragement to international dis
turbers Of the peace. Prompt and
complete adoption of the Hull pro-
gram would go far toward promoting
world peace without surrender of our
economic rights or our national SELF
respect.
