transforming House Of
David Plays Arabs Friday

The bearded cagers from the
House of David come to Imperial
Valley once again this Friday night
to engage El Centro junior college
varsity cagerS at the FL Centre
high school gymnasium.
The game will be strictly an ex-
hibition of good basketball because
the House of David will win as it
pleases over the Junior collegians.
The bearded cagers are the best
transforming team in the nation
this year.
Interesting sidelight of the game
will be Teddie Sandez' performance
against the transformers. Sandez
high scoring junior college for
ward, depends upon speed for his
success and will attempt to outrun
the bearded boys in Friday nights
game.
The House of David has won
all but six games on the current
tour and two of those defeats re-
suited when they lost track of the
score near the end of the game
and allowed weaker teams to build
up lead they could not overcome
in the final minute.
Friday nights game will start
at o'clock.

Woolf's testimony means some
thing, because Woolf knows him as

showed everything that day. Early
foot. Power down the backstretch.
And, more that anything else, a
heart as big as pumpkin. Collared
by the Admiral at the far turn, he
looked Man O. Wars favorite son in
the eye. and broke his heart with
turn of speed
Woolf says he is running better
right now than he was on that great
day in Baltimore. Several of the
critics who have seen him in his
workouts bear Woolf out. I have
been told that he has, for some
reason or another, smoothed out
his running action and that all the
is gone, and that now
he fairly glides along with a free,
beautiful stride There is no favor
ing of the left foreleg that was in
jured last winter, and the only wor-
ry he has is excess weight.
Owner Howard told me that the
Biscuit was still many pounds over
weight, and that he was losing the
blubber very slowly. Muscle, rather,
not blubber Solid as a hickory
stick, the Biscuit is having trouble
getting down to his proper racing
weight.
Victory for the Biscuit in the
100000 gallop would provide the
best horse story of the decade. Beat
en- by the camera in two shots at
the gold, a win this year would
make him the biggest money winner
of all time. That would be quite
a finish for an under sized horse
who was sold as a two-year-old for
a song because OF the belief that he
never would become a winner.

Another change provides that un-

to an automatic goal" Other inno-
vations make it mandatory for all

school students, businessmen and
school officials at a banquet to
honor Coach Robert Armstrong;
undefeated junior college football
team Tuesday night at the Bar
bara Worth hotel.
Tightening his grip on the micro
phone at the speakers table Jones
declared that brains, ambition and
mental attitude were just as I'M
portant as Drawn and natural abil1-
ty to play the game in the develop
ment of a good football team.
Comparing the need for ambition
to be a success in life to the need
for ambition to play good football,
Jones praised football as a sport
which groomS youngsters for the
more serious job of earning a living
after leaving school.
Jones also outlined the past foot
ball season at use, compared the
Tennessee game to others on the

But the Biscuit was even tougher
than anyone knew. He didn't take

Dempsey Dedicates
Swimming Pool
To Tex Rickard

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Jan. 10.
'UP)-Most people never connected
the name of Tex Rickard to a tank
iob,' but it was attached to one
permanently today-the swank new
swimming pool of the Dempsey
Vanderbilt hotel here.
Jack Dempsey dedicated the pool
to the late promoter yesterday, say
ing: Il dedicate this memorial to
the greatest sportsman who ever
lived-Tex Rickard."
Later the ManaSsa Mauler let his
thoughts wander back to the night
of Sept. %. 1927-the night that
he failed to regain the heavyweight
title from Gene Tunney before
record crowd that paid $2,658, ,668
to see the still debated "long count.
That was the last Dempsey fight
Rickard ever promoted, and al
though it was bitter moment for
him then, Dempsey today believes
It was the best thing that could
have happened to him.
Looking back at it now, Tn
thankful I didn't win back the til

then, and I came close. But I'm glad
didn't. Those few seconds chang

Il guess was through as a fight
er then, and if I had won I might
have gone the way SO many other
boxers who didn't know when to
quit-walking on my heels. And,
owe it all to Tex. He picked me
up, made me a fighter, then died

In answer to another question re-
garding power of the Trojan foot
ball team. Jones said the toughest
Job in coaching was to keep the
players mentally right for a game
Overconfidence of players is the
greatest enemy of a coach.
We must keep impressing upon
our players that the opposition Is
tough. but occasionally, because
the newspapers make us heavy IA
vorites. the fellows refuse to take
a game Seriously--ThoSe are the
DAYS we are most apt TO be whipped,
In concluding Jones moved the
