NEW YORK, Nov. 8. UP)-Ed-
ward Riley Bradley, whose breech-
loading collar was the inspiration
for the modern starting gate, finally
caught a perfect hand after so years
of Waiting-and now nobody is 60
ing to call it.
The old gambler from old Kahn
tuck has come with straight flushes
before. He had Behave Yourself.
Bubbling over. Burgoo King and
Brokers Tip, derby winners all. But
not until this year, after a half
century of racing. did the flush
come up royal.
Bimelech is this baby's name. and
he has the look of eagles in his
eye. The sweet sweet smoothness
of Bluegrass is in his coat and the
fire of old, old burbon is in his legs.
Six times he has answered the bu-
gle's call and six times he has led
them all.
The thunder of his hooveS down
the stretch has done something for
Bradley that doctors couldn't do.
Old now. and as the darkies around
the stable would say, "Doin' poly"
of late. the master of the Idle Hour
farm has drawn new life from this
strapping brown horse. Even as the
doctors are clocking his pulse, the
colonel is clocking his colt.
1t is hard to say whether Bime-
lech has made more progress than
his owner. The colonel was flat on
his back when the son of Black
Toney went TO the post the first
time this summer as a two wear
| old. but with each report of how
his green and white barrel hoops
were rolling down the stretch he
got better. Last week Bimelech won
the sixth straight time: now the
colonel is out OF bed and has chang
ed the company Of doctors and
nurses for railbirds checkers and
sWipes.
Men, the colonel is more than lust
out OF bed. He is up, haunting and
Haunting the world of racing, and
waving his pocket book like a color
sergeant on dress parade. To the
colonel, who had bred and raced
the best, Bimelech is not just a two
year old horse. Bimelech is the
greatest horse in the world and
Bradley has challenged any owner
Of anything with four legs to get
his animal out there, throw a saddle
onShim. and await the bell with his
baby
Colonel Ed didn't ask for any
prize money or any cups. A gambler

Wildcats Invade
Viking Field on
Friday Night

A rejuvenated Brawley high
school football team will go up
against Holtville gridders in Holt
vile Friday night in an attempt to
win its first league game in two
years of play.
Not since Brawley defeated Ell
Centro high school TO in the first
game of second round play in 1886
has the Wildcat football machine
emerged victorious in a league con-
test, but on Friday night Coach
Sheldon Loughborough's crew plan

But over Holtville way, II. S.
Walker, chief Viking, is cooking up
few new tricks to offset the i'm
proved Brawley defense and to
chalk up Holtville's first triumph
of the league season
On paper Holtville has a slight
edge because of better showings
against CaleXico and El Centre
Walker, however, stressed pass Of

Central, CoIexico Clash
For League Lead: BrowIey
To Meet HoItviIIe Eleven
Championship May
Be afSfake in
Friday Scrap

Throw away your record books,
disregard comparative scores be-
cause on Friday night two power
full valley high school teams will
clash for the leadership of the
county league and possibly the val
ley grid championship.
It's FL Centro VS. Calexico in
CaleXico at 8 o'clock, and unless
something more drastic than a civil
war occurs. it'll be the best game
of the season.
Both teams have potent offenses,
tight defenses. Both teams can
offer good running, good passing
and good blocking. Both teams
have chalked up their winning mar
gins in league games to date by
heady, reSourceful playing.
CaleXico defeated Holtville, 1876
and walloped Brawley, 21-7. FL
Centro knocked over Holtville, TO,
trimmed Brawley 1870. And neither
Ell Centro nor Calexico opened up
in scoring victories.
So you'll probably see plenty OF
new tricks emerge from the respec-
tive sleeves of Calexico'S Coach
Covington and from Ell Centros
Coach Hanson.
Ell Centre has stressed pass de-
fense and has mapped a defense
against Calexico's regarded spread
formation. The spread formation
by the way, was CaleXicos margin
of victory over Brawley and Holt
vile, according to Coaches Lough-
borough and Walker

Arabs Compton J. {. Clash Saturday
Armstrong Worries
Over Jaycee Hopes
In Arnistice Tilt

Coach Robert Armstrong
willy junior college mentor
turned a shade grayer today
worrying over the outcome OF
Saturday nights football
battle with Compton junior college
on Brawley high school field.
The game, which will start at
7:l5, was described as the toughest
of the season by Coach Armstrong
but junior college players refused
to heed his warnings.
To the Arab players the Compton
tilt is just another preliminary bat
tie TO the Phoenix junior college
scrap in Phoenix on November Is.
The Compton football team, how
ever. will bring one of the finest
football machines seen in the val
lev this season. Power and a bril-
liant passing attack are its weapons,
and not a team has been able to
stop the Ramblers thus far in the
season.
With Marvin Walker definitely
out of the game, the Arab attack
will be somewhat weaker and re-
serve power in the secondary will
be hard hit.
Sander. Gray, Morgan and Earl
Walker will probably get the start
ing berths. On the line Ballou will
start at center. Avendano and Ingle
at guards, Brown and Withrow at
tackles and Woodland and Holmes
at the end spots.
The game will be played as a
part of the annual American Legion
ArmiStice program.
