Today's Sport Parade

Moody was III pam and that she
was going to change her game IN
an attempt to conserve her wan
ing energy. She began using drop
shots and chased Miss Jacobs from
corner to corner, winning three
game in row. Everybody thought
Miss Jacobs then would let the
set go and save her strength for
the third and deciding set. Instead,
she attacked hard, and evened the
score at 3-3. That was her final
bid for that set, however, and Mrs
Moody took the next three games
to win the set and square the match.
They rested for 10 minutes and
the spectators were telling one
another that now it was anybody's
match. But it wasn't. Mrs. Moody,
tired and under severe pain, double
faulted twice in the first game and
lost it. Miss Jacobs Whammed her
service across hard in the second
game and Mrs Moody lost it when
her returns flopped into the net. In
the third game Miss Jacobs blew
her opponent off the court with
backhand and forehand passing
shots and led 30.
Then it happened. Mrs. Moody
walked over to the umpire, spoke
few words, picked up her blue
sweater and started for the club
house. An official announced Mrs
Moody had defaulted because Of
her back injury, and Miss Jacobs
ran toward her opponent, gesturing
back toward the court. She was
pleading with Mrs. Moody to con-
tinue the match. But little Miss
Poker Face walked on toward the
clubhouse, and an angry expression
came across Miss Jacobs face. Af-
ter years of defeat and humiliation
she was being robbed of the full
fruits of a sweet victory by de-
fault.
That was the first time Mrs.
Moody had been defeated in the
national championships since 1922,
when, as a youngster, she had fin
ished runner-up to Molla Mallory.

and ran it up TO 81 before Mrs.

shots. Then Mrs. Moody steadied,
pulled up TO 3-3 and seemed to
have things under control. She was
hitting the ball hard, covering the
court well and apparently not hav-
ing any trouble with her injured
back.
Back and forth the lead swung
with games following service. In

won the first set, 8-6.

the first time ne came to Coving-
ton with a reputation as a big
strong boy who could not control
his temper. As a matter of fact
Carillo's father tried 10 discourage
the lad from playing football be-
cause of the idiosyncracy.
Coyington. however, took GARLIC
in hand and explained to him the
necessity of remaining calm at all
times in a football game. You
see,'' Ed said, If you get mad in a
football game you don't play your
best brand of ball. you might get
kicked out the game by officials

So Garlic went into every game
determined TO control his temper
He even resorted to singing and
whistling during the game. Many
rival players reported that as Ca
rillo came down the field under a
punt he would be singing or whist
ling some popular tune. He wouldn't
even interrupt the song as he made
the tackle.
Gene Oswalt, El Centro quarter
back, said he was whistling Silent
Night all through the first El

BY the time Garlic entered his
senior year Of football he had over
come the problem Of controlling his
temper and devoted what time he
had between tackles to keep his
teammates in lire. AS a result
Calexico played heads up football
at all times and always had that
