Precedent Established as
Jovcees Defeat AII-vu|IeV
Hi School Honor
Team Drops Close
Tilt to Arabs

A precedent was established at
the Central high school gymnasium
Thursday night when the Ell Cen
tro Junior college varsity basket
ball team defeated an all-Star high
school quintet, ABA, in the first
annual J. C.-An-Valley basketball
game.
The game. which was played as
a climax to the annual junior COL
lege slum feed and athletic carni-
val, was substituted for game
which previously sent junior col
lege squad against the valley S
coaches
If the Arab quintet was expect
ing anything but a stiff battle
Thursday night it was certainly
disappointed because the all-valley
team put on an exhibition which
assured success of the annual event
In future years, however, plan
will probably be devised to work
out week of practice sessions for
the all-valley squad in order that
players might become acquainted
with the widely varied styles OF
basketball.
The all-valley squad, handicap
ped by the absence of Eddie Naka-
mura, Brawley forward who led the
league in scoring, held the Arabs
to a I'LL deadlock at the end OF
the first quarter but began to fall
behind as the game progressed
Jack Fox, Arab center, potted three
successive field goals toward the
end of the half to give the Jaycees
20-16 lead at the intermission
Fox was high scorer for the night
with 10 points.
Carlos Garlic and Jack OsWalt
center and forward from Calexico
and Ell Centre high schools, paced
the all-valley squad with II and
nine points respectively, but it was
the all around floor play of Jack
BoWker which kept the high school
ers in the game. BoWker unani-
nous choice for all-valley, dropped
in six points to swell the high
school total.

BACKGROUND COMPLETE
children of Bondage" will un-
doubtedly leave the reader with a
deeper insight into the reactions OF
youth, especially southern Negro
youth, who are surrounded, per-
haps more than any other group,
with difficult life situations. The
southern background is complete,
and the boys and girls portrayed,
some eight of them, are carried
through the various stages from
infancy to adolescence to show
the effect of various outer forces
and their impressions on the per-
sonality and mentality of the sub
ject.
Plainly the authors show how
normal reactions of growing boys
and girls are nodded and distorted
by economic conditions, caste re-
strictions, and clique standards
Caste, among Negroes, has been
found to be lower class. middle
class, and uppor class, with several
qualifications on each group. The
class is determined by economic
conditions, caste, restrictions, clique
standards, and educational attain
ments, and often greatly affected by
skin color. Mobility from one strata
to another is difficult, the authors
report, but possible and frequently
achieved by ambitious Negro youth.
