In spite Of the protestations OF
the legal lights Of the Bat'a Shoe
Company they nonetheless S
pleaded guilty to violating the law
Of the United States as follows:
/. Violation Of the minimum
wages provisions OF the Fair La
Dor Standards Act.
2. Violated the maximum hours
provision Of the same Act.
3. Falsified accounts.
4. Failed to keep proper rec
ortis.
5. Shipped goods in interstate
commerce which were produced in
violation OF United States law.
"Only" Czechs
In an effort to minimize the
Bat'a Shoe Company's guilt. de-
tense attorneys pointed out that
"only" Czech workers had been
defrauded and that the chiselling
procedures. Justification of records
and other violations had not been
perpetrated upon American work
ers.
But. on conclusion Of the pro-
ceedings, wage-hour officials an
nounced that the company was
making restitution of more than
sl0.000.00 TO approximately 600
employees and that some workers
would receive back pay Of more
than 5000 each! Putting the state
ments of defense attorneys and
Wage-Hours officials side by side
made somebody appear to be ham
ding the truth very careleSSly.
Past experience with Bat'a Shoe
Company makes them suspect and
the added fact that there are NOT
900 Czech workers at the Belcamp
plant adds to the suspicion that
the defense attorney is the cul-
prit.
"Gcneralities"
The defense attorney continued
the narrowing tale OF Bat'a's suf-
ferings as he recounted how one
OF the Bat'a plants in Holland had
been bombed just a week before
and how difficult it was becoming
for the company TO fulfill con-
tracts in 70 foreign countries
owing to war conditions.
It was told how the Bat'a Shoe
Company had spent s2.oo0.0o0 In
building the plant at Belcamp
where 1000 workers already were
employed and plans afoot TO en-
ploy more!
What all this had 10 do with
the charges Of chiseliing their
workers was puzzling to court
room observers. In fact, at orc
point the Judge Is quoted as
saying TO Attorney Archer.
"What the court would like 10
find out is II Major Archer Is
speaking in gIittering generali-
ties and Is being overzealous in
behalf OF q Hartford County in
dustry?"
After the thrilling narrative Of
The lawyer had concluded the
fact stood out unmistakably
that the Bat'a Company had
been caught red-handcd doing
a "blitzkrcig" on their employees
wage envelopes In Belcamp,
Hartford County, Maryland.
Blame Czechs
Then came some astounding
testimony or assertions. It had
been charged that accounts and
records had been falsified. Mr..
Archer stated that the falsifica-
tions had been committed by
Czecho-Slovakian workers be-
cause II was believed by some Of

DES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. y
(UP)-Have you ever jumped right
out Of your skin? mean, have you
ever jumped completely out of it so
SO that it stood right there beside
you, looking like a DIR. Denton's
sleeping garment?
I did yesterday, in the middle OF
the Register and Tribune Sports
department. 1t wasn't pretty sight,
because after all beauty is only skin
deep.
The reason for all this was the
sudden and unexpected arrival OF
Bob Feller, not a. Bob Feller but
THE Bob Feller, of whom the incest
thing I said all last baseball season
was that he was a cry-baby, a
sissy. and wilmer. I'm SO broad
minded that I am capable of over
looking the fact that he only won
81 games and is perhaps the finest
pitcher in baseball.
Well, anyway, there he stood
right back of me, fresh from quail
hunting trip and with a shotgun
in his hands. I had several nasty
thoughts, one being that maybe
F'eller wasn't as broad-minded as
was and wouldn't overlook the
things 1 had written about him and
Trosky and Harder and Chapman
and the other Cleveland Indians.
I didn't dare turn around for a
moment. Under my breath 1 whis-

4 DANGEROUS Precedent


Calexico high school established
a dangerous precedent Thursday af-
ternoon at the Thanksgiving Day
game, and all because stern Wis
aged gatekeeper put up his hand,
halted the. procession OF FL Centre
high schools drill team, and said:
Tickets pleaser'
To say that the Central high
school drill team was flabbergasted
would be putting it mildly.
Were part of the show the
Sergeanettes pleaded.
But the stern faced gk. only as
sumed a more stern expression and
repeated his demand, Tickets
please"
There were efforts made TO point
out that the Sergeanettes had
program to offer that the fans
would enjoy, and as it developed
the El Centre fans enjoyed the drill
team a good deal more than the
football game because Calexico
eventually emerged victorious in the
grid contest, more than half of the
1000 people present were El Cen
trans.
But the hard-boiled gatekeeper
stuck by his guns, and swelled the
Calexico treasury by S25.10. The
ten cents was charged for Lolita
Vinfrido. Our operators were un-
able to ascertain Immediately if the
turkey, which took part in the stunts
was, forced to purchase a ticket.
I can't help but speculate as TO
the changes in valley league foot
ball this incident of Thanksgiving
day is likely to bring about.
In the first place valley league
schools may be expected, in the very
near future, to start charging the
players of opposing football teams
to enter the grounds.
Coaches and star players will be
charged double and signs will be
placed at the gate reading:
Prices will be subject to change
without notice, especially in cases
of expert football players"
Stern viSaged gatekeepers will be
sought as much as first class coach
es and outstanding band and drill
team leaders. And most gatekeepers
will be equipped with all the para
phernalia of riot breaker to en-
force his wishes.
Additional speculation reveals the
possibility that home teams will be
a lead-pipe cinch TO win games

Central Still in
Race. Holt Says;
Praises Bulldogs

ut was just CaleXico's day to WIN.
They outplayed us and deserved
the victory
Coach Raleigh Holt, Ell Centre
high school football mentor, sum-
med up Calexico's 60 victory over
the Spartan footballers Thursday
afternoon in those words and ad-
mitted it was simply a case OF the
CaleXico line, at its best, outcharg-
ing the Ell Centre forward wall.
Holt toyed with a tasty Thanks
giving day drum stick, pushed IL
back to his plate.
Il can't seem to build up much
of an appetite" he sighed, ut was
tough one to lose
< But, I'm not disappointed III our
boys and we're not giving up the
ghost yet. Brawley and Imperial
are still to be reckoned with by
Calexico and we're going out next
week to try to defeat Holtville to
keep our championship hopes alive.
Our defense was the BEST it's
been this season. The tackling OF
Longacre, Stevenson, Fabares, Con-
sole, Gary, Ingle on the line and
OsWalt, Robertson, Riedy and Nor
gan in the backfield was the best
we've seen this season.
And don't blame CaleXico for
those fumbles. 1t was vicious tao
king that caused those bobbles."
Coach Ed Covington was too hap
py to say more than:
I'VE still have two tough ones
to win. We beat a great ball club
yesterday, and I'm certainly proud
| of our line"

Andrade Spearheaded three Ca
lexico drives into Ell Centre territory
in the first half of the ball game.
but on each occasion the Ell Centro
defense tightened causing CaleXico
ball carriers to tumble and lose con-
troll of the pigskin.
But the curly-haired Bulldog back
was not to be denied. With less
than two minutes to play, Andrade
grabbed punt from Ell Centro's
Fred Robertson and raced from the
midfield stripe to the Ell Centre %.
At that point Aurelio Alcantar,
a comparatively unknown substitute
entered the gme to replace Quarter
back Rivera, Alcantar passed incom-
plete to Garcia, then whirled to
toss a second pass to Garcia for 27
yards and a first down on the
Spartan one.
Andrade Scores
Andrade scored on the first play
through tackle. The entire Ell Cen
tro line blocked his attempted
placekick.
The second half was marked by
bitter defensive play, with each
team threatening on two occasions.
Calexico pushed to the Ell Centre
80 in the third quarter, again to the
35 in the fourth. An intercepted
pass and a tumble halted the two

Ell Centro's only serious threat
came in the third quarter when the

For these spots, the coach OF the

Jack Russell of Baylor as the end,

College Station says you might as
we'll name his entire club, and let
it go at that.
Norton agrees that fellows like
Tom Harmon of Michigan and huge
Don Scott of Ohio State are splen-
did backs. and that Nick Drahos of
Cornell plays plenty of tackle, but
there is room for only DrahoS on
his squad.
Explaining that he prefers to
choose only those athletes he has

ton selects these Texas Aggies;
John Kimbrough, fullback Jim
Thomason, blocking back; Bill Con-

Norton has quite an argument,
too. Going into the row with Rice,
his blasting backs had swept the
Maroon and White to 18 consecu-

Norton rates the rough and ready
Kimbrough as the all-time full
