Co|exico, FL Centre Make
Title Bid Friday Night
Imperial Out to
Bag gLougbhorough
Wildcat Eleven

Long scrimmage sessions
were in prospect for the Cal
exico Bulldogs during the
remaining practice days OF
the week as the defending
champions from the border city
conditioned for a game described
by Coach Ed Covington as the Bull
dogs stiffest test of the season.
The defending champions jour
ney to El Centre field to meet
Coach Raleigh Hollis improved
Spartans Friday night in a game
which many observers believe Will
go long way in determining the
valley championship.
There's different feeling in re-
gard to championship talk up Braw-
lev way as Coach Sheldon Lough-
borough prepares his squad for an
important game in Imperial against
the heavy Tiger squad.
Both Brawley and Imperial teams
are in good condition for the ball
game and though most observers
picked Brawley as the probable
winner there were plenty of I'M
perial hackers willing TO support
their team in any kind of a wager.
Imperial is running for this one
because the Tigers would like to
defeat Sheldon Loughborough, a
former Imperial high school foot
ball coach.
More interest was attached to
the Calexico-Central high game in
most sections, however, as defeat
for Ell Centre would virtually elimi-
nate the Spartans from title COM
petition.

Football Fundamentals

Don't ever let anyone tell vol
that football practice is all play ano
no work, because there's the little
matter of learning football funda-
mentals and that task is one which
requires more than a little perspira-
ton.
Success or failure of a football
team depends upon its ability to
block and tackle more than the
running, passing or punting of a
star backfield man.
Calexico and El Centre high
school football team, two of the
finest drilled teams in the valley
league in the matter of fundamen-
tails, clash at Central field Friday
night and chances are the team that
does the most accurate blocking
and the more deadly tackling will
emerge the winner
For the past three years CaleXico
has been the power of the valley
league, simply because the Bulldogs
blocked better, tackled more vicious
" than other teams in the league
But on Friday night the Bulldogs
will go up against an El Centro
team that is also long on funda-
mentals, and possesses players who
can block and tackle with any team
in the league.
Friday nights game will match
Calexico with a slightly superior
defense against an El Centre team
that apparently has the strongest
offense in the loop.
El Centros backfield of Patter-
son, Morgan or Riedy, Robertson
and Oswalt, is probably the best
offensive combination in the league,
possibly excepting Calexico with
Andrade in the lineup.
But, according to advices from

Ca'ipatria Plays
Blythe Friday

Calipatria high school football
team, winner in two straight games,
plays Blythe high school in a game
at Calipatria field Friday night at
7:30.
The Hornets. victors over Yuma
and Calipatria towners in successive
games last week, have shown an
improved offense, a stouter de-
fense than at the opening of the
season and will be rated an even
bet against Blythe.

school, The line is fast, agile, alert
and tough. The backfield has every
thing, including master strategist
Or the Harry Stohldreher Frank
Caridea type, sprint champion
and the most versatile fullback of
the year.
These are the men who may carry
Notre Dame to an undefeated sea-
son, since, as often happens when
the Irish come up with great pros
poets, their schedule has Softened
up.
Among all this pleasant news,
however, is cause for worry. In
three comparatively easy conquests
Notre Dame requirements have had
their troubles. Even against Grip
pied, disspirited. deemphasized Car
negie Tech, Notre Danes second
string line permitted an offensive
drive at a time when the first
stringers had Carnegie so groggy
it hardly could move.
The experience may benefit the
Irish. They paraded Ct men against
Carnegie and from that assortment
of reserves Layden hopes to fine
the stuff to carry him past Illinois
Navy, Army, Iowa, Northwestern
and Southern California.
While Notre Dame was rolling
onward last week, Michigan, Min.
nesota and Northwestern continued
their slow process of tying up the
Big Ten title. They all are unde.
feated and they'll have to meet
before the last Saturday of Novem.

Coo uch
Reveals Grid Setup
ellis All
By HENRY McLEMORE

NEW YORK. Oct. %. (UP)-My
name isn't Diogenes. and don't
have a lamp, but I found myself
an honest man today
He is Nose Simms, who coaches
the st. Mary's of San Antonio foot
ball team that is here to play Long
Island University next Saturday.
I'VE play football to make money"
Nose said in a loud, clear voice,
and without asking me to step
into another room. whats more,
every one of the 33 boys who made
the trip from Texas were recruited.
I know, because I have to do the
recruiting that the alumni do at
most schools. And here's some
thing else-every one Of the boys
Is getting tuition, room. board and
books for nothing. We don't go
for that hypocritical stuff OF giving
them phoney work like winding
electric clocks and tearing the pages
of calendars at SO cents an hour.
That makes liars out of the players
and liars and takers out OF the
school"
cautioned Nose to talk softer
lest Ogden Miller of Yale overhear
him and fall right against an ivy
clad wall from shock. \ But the
Texan went right on.
"As coach I'm Z firm believer
in giving a football player what
he's worth. Most of them are
badly underpaid. When a great
back comes along and packs a sta
dunn Saturday after Saturday. I
think he should get a little of the
change. We haven't much money
/ at st. Mary's because we're a little
school, but if we had it the boys
would get their share"
Nose can't figure out what harm
is done by a boy paying his way
through college with his athletic
J ability.
"Ninety-nine per cent of the boys
on my team never would have got
ten near a college if it hadn't been
| for football, he said. But we
found them and now they are get
ting an education and enjoying
travel around the country. They're
nice boys, they're clean kids, and
they're game. What are they hurt
ing? Why isn't it a good thing for
football to do this for bunch OF
boys?"
Nose is equally frank about the
coaching business.
"a football team is in the "a
musement business. You charge
for a show and you should put
one on. It's football coach's job
to see that his team does put on
a show. We do our best to stage
an entertaining act, ard the red
white and blue uniforms the boys
wear with the blue stars in front
and the red ones on the backs OF
their jerseys, is the. costuming emo
of it. Well introduce little nov
city on Saturday by throwing 10
or 20 red, white and blue footballs
into the stands for the customers
who catch them to keep as SOU
venirs."
The st. Mary's team holds all
records for travel. The boys get
about the country in their own
bus - stream lined aluminium
monster that seats 3d. Already the
aptly-named Ramblers have played
in Louisiana, North Dakota ano
New Hampshire.
Nose makes it plain that st
Mary's is no jerkwater school.
Its been going since 1852 and
is no rackety-rax place. 1t has
turned out some fine men and
scholastically is on a par with other
southwestern schools"
Yessir, pard, an honest man, Nose
Simms.
