of most of them. A loss in such COM
petition was an upset that rated
headline choice. =,
But since 1885 darker days have
reached Ell Centro, and though the
Spartans are definitely on the up
grade there is fear among Central
rooters that a vastly improved I'M
perial grid squad might provide an
upset.
And there is nothing Imperlafs
football followers would like better
than an Imperial victory in its flrst
conference start in two decades.
Imperial rooters recall that Ei
Centre was held to two touchdown
margin last season. The Tigers are
definitely stronger this season than
they were last and the Spartans
cannot be rated higher than the
1899 machine at this stage OF the
, race.
Imperial's starting lineup will av-
erage 172 pounds as against l6o
pound average for Ell Centre high
and the Tigers will boast larger
number of lettermen in the starting
lineup.
Otis King, all-valley end from
last years CaleXico team, will spark
the backfield from a fullback posi-
ton. His most capable teammate
is H. Nakazona, ITS pound Japa-
nese blocking pack.
On the line Havens, Murphy ant.
Tell are rated as the most capable
men.
For Ell Centro Patterson, Robert

attack of the Spartans while on

and Osa loom as the most consistent
players.

excellent chance of going through

rates a draw, but if there is any

But far across Arizona and New
Mexico st. Mary's college of Texas
started a 10000 mile jaunt which
will keep the gridders on the road
an entire month. The Texans, nick
named the Sanity Serpents, will
carry more than football reverses
and end runs into each game. how
ever, for the Serpents will be a vir-
tual diving and plunging American
flag.
The Texans are clad in red, white
and blue uniforms and they will
march onto the field at Fargo. North
Dakota where they play their first
game, in military fashion.
After the martial celebration
someone tosses a brilliant red, white
and blue football into the air and
the quarterback barks the practice

Later, when the boys settle into
the game, they forget patriotic
signal calling, but their red, white

stand out to remind the audience
of their theme.
Incidentally, it isn't likely the St.
Marys patriots will lose many games
because thus far they have aver

ed to a big zero for the opposition.

 "I've seen his face when he's with her. He's in love-" And now he was with her and his nearness, the feel of his arm against hers, his breath on her hair as he leaned over made her tremble.
 She hated herself for being moved by his physical presence, tried to remember that it was Nick who had used her from the start; tried to recall Joe's face and the sound of his voice.
 Nick covered her hand with one of his own, and pressed his shoul- der against hers. A lock of dark hair had fallen over his forehead and he pushed it back with that familiar gesture.

Out on the dark street with the cool night air against her flushed face, Sue Mary walked slowly, try ing to think. It was as though she had had glimpse backstage. The show she had been so innocently watching took on an entirely new aspect; all the seemingly obvious things had different meanings.
 Nick's interest, his newly dis played love; Vera's work at the office; the mislaid paper; Natalie's insistence that she come and live with her; the TYP campaign. Half forgotten words, acts, suspicious came rushing upon her.
 Yet she couldn't understand why she was important enough for them to have bothered with. Back in the recesses of her mind she brought forth that first con- Versation with Nick; the day she had wandered into the studio, and Nick had asked her where she worked. She remembered his questions about the law office.
