our ultimate satisfaction, we shall
feel that the boys who play dislike
losing as much as the fans and art
doing all they can to eliminate
such losses-no matter the size o.
the town or the school. :.
We have noticed this over the
years. That I'm many of these
towns where no football Is I'm
the school, basketball Is begun
much earlier. Result Is that
those clubs reach a peak much
earlier. But they reach 1t
so early that rarely is much de-
velopment shown during the
season. As other teams show
improvement, they seem to
backwater, as it were, In the
face of their rising competition.
A week ago we wrote this lead
for a Buccaneer game: "Sauk Gen.
tres Junior College Buccaneers in
a scoring combination set up new
standard for total basketball war"
What happened is one of those
slips in the type that are inspira-
tional. g.. The combination" came
out "bombination." It seemed to
fit the paragraph better than any
thing we could do on purpose. .
A scoring record for these
parts may be in the making.
It's going to be interesting to
see what happens from here on
in. For Stan Nelson, Buc-

that total of "a, 10 came from
goal shooting. He has aver
aged a little more than half a
point a minute. In three char
ted games he converted 81
out Of 81 shots from the floor
for an over all average of so
percent. It's almost without
parallel. He has q team
behind him, and one who itself
is helping on the scoring
enough to ease the pressure

OPEN SEASON ON VALLEY
RANCHERS. LIVESTOCK

/Some so-called sportsmen believe 1t is
not the sporting thing to shoot birds un-
Tess they're flying, but it is permlsslble
to pot farmer wherever he may be. Inc
| farmer would have lot better chance OF
survival during dove season If the same
N''sporting" rules apply to him that apply
to doves.
The trouble is that lot of chaps who
call themselves sportsmen are anything
else but. They're the kind who can't take
n dare, and they think every mo Hunt
ing" sign on farmers place is chal-
lenge.
There are lot of real sportsmen
among those who go out this time of year
for mess of doves. But the outlaw,
who also calls himself sportsman, gives
the whole crew black eye. Sometimes
it seems that everybody-real sports
men and farmers alike-would be lot
better off if he declared open season on
these hunting pests, along with the doves
they hunt.
Unfortunately for our civic pride, it is
not always the hunters from Los An
geles or San Diego who violate the rules
of SportsmanShip most. Some of the
worst offenders, although we blush to
confess it, are found among our own
Imperial Valley men.
Sportsmanship, above all, dictates con-
sideration for the other mans feelings,
his property and his safety. II every dove
hunter really followed those rules, there
would be no cause for complaint A lot
of them, however never heard of the
rules. Or, if they did, they think it is
just some fairy tale the farmers made
up.
The dove season is just opening. We
have the chance to avoid the unpleasant
ness of last year, when farmers and
hunters almost divided into two armed
camps. We can avoid the squabble, and
make both hunting and farming a lot
pleasanter, if we will Just remember that
a farmer is entitled to unmolested posses
sion of his privately owned property at
all times, that his livestock is lot more
precious to him than dove is to dove
hunter, and that the safety of his family
should not be placed in jeopardy just
because dove flies between the hunter
and the farmers home.
There's really no reason why We should
| force the farmers to buy air raid shelters
long in advance of this country's entrance
into war; if any.
