defending champion cagers, 1890,
Friday night in a game that was
as close as the spectators were
crowded together in the limited
seating accommodations of FL Gen.
tros 'peeWee" gymnasium.
The Ell Centre cagerS moved into
a 1915 lead at the end of the first
quarter of play in a demonstration
Of smooth basketball and increased
the advantage to Isl edge at the
intermission.
But Calexico's lanky quintet came
roaring back in the third quarter
with typical Bulldog squirt, and
pulled ahead 1918 as the third
quarter drew to a close.
Cabrera and Linn bagged baskets
as the fourth period opened and
CaleXico assumed a five point lead
that looked as imposing as Boulder
dam. The Bulldogs held their five
point edge, at $500. with less than
six minutes to play.
Jack OSwalt came through with
two timely baskets. Koike and Riedy
hagged free throws for FL Centro
and Valencia knotted the count with
q free throw for the CaleXico side
Of the ledger.
Garcia, tall Calexico guard put
the Bulldogs out in front again,
1926. with a "swisher" from the
side, but Jack kirkpatrick and
Jack Jones tailed set up shots under
the basket to put e Centre ahead
1928 with two minutes to play.
Linn knotted the count fifteen
seconds later with a difficult one
handler that nearly sunk El Centro's
hopes. The Spartans fought des-
perately to get in scoring position
in the final minute of play, with
the CaleXicans fighting Just as
desperately to get possession of the
ball.
