: But baseball is in the air again
Six weeks more, and the spring
training whirl will be on.
With the major league year so
close at hand, conversation already
is rife concerning the newcomers.
Last season, Pewee Reese. ShortStop
of the Dodgers, was hailed as the
best-looking new player. TO be sure,
Lou Boudreau. of the Indians. out
did Reese in the averages. But Lou
had played 81 games for Cleveland
in 1899, and consequently was not
exactly a rookie.
Among the 1910 freshman class
in pitching. the standout was Ernie
Bonham. who was called by the
Yankees much too late from Kansas
City. He won u games.
In the National League last sea-
son the best-looking pitcher of the
new crop was Vern Olsen, left
handler who came to the Cubs
from Tulsa.
To whom may we look for the
roo..ie superlativeS of 194l? Long
range selections place the National
league freshman title in the hands
of Lou Novikoff, Chicago outtielder
who, with Los Angeles, ruined Paci-
fic Coast league pitching; and AM
erican league leadership between
Phil Rizzutto and Gerald Priddy,
infielders who have come to the
Yankees from their Kansas City
farm.
Novikoff has not only power, but
color as well. He is a manufacturer
of quips as well as hits. The Mad
Russian broke into the game as a
softball pitcher in Los Angeles and
may give the Cubs a second Hack
Wilson. Lou is not the most adroit
and graceful outfielder in the busi-
ness. But he packs that wallop, and
hats what the majors have been
ooking for.

High school basketball teams re-
sumed strenuous workouts Thurs
day and Friday after two-week
layoff for Christmas vacation and
looked forward to league openers
next Friday which pit Ell Centre
against Holtville, Brawley against
Calipatria and Imperial against
CaleXico.
Ell Centro and Calexico high
schools remained co-favorites to
win the valley league title with
Calipatria salted to finish third,
Imperial fourth, Brawley fifth and
Holtville in last place.
In the Glass B division Calexico
was a heavy favorite to repeat as
champion and Brawley, Imperial
and Ell Centro were rated strongest
in the c division.

Byron Nelson, the most feared

California British War Relief asso-'
citation, announced early today after
a lengthy meeting that the game
will be played at Gilmore If it is
available.
Mowbray conferred last night
with Tom Harmon. Dave Allerdice,
Jack Banta, Jay Mcdowell, Rudy
Mucha, Dean McAdams, Frank Rea-
gan, Forest Evashevski, Tony Ruffa,
Paul Christman, Leonard Younce
and Jim Kisselburgh. He said they
we're wiling to play, if necessary,
"in the street."
The players are those who took
part in the annual East-West game
in San Francisco on New Years
day.
Announcement that the stars were
willing to replay the game for the
British war relief fund encountered
spirited opposition from the Shrine
East-West football committee. Will
liam Coffman, director of the COM
mittee, said the war relief group had
gone so far as offer the players cash
and other material inducements.
Pressure has been brought by
various groups on the coliseum man
agement to prevent us using it,"
said Mowbray. 1--WE believe we had
met every condition that Coffman
set up."
Coffman explained the commit
tees attitude in a long statement
issued in San Francisco yesterday.
He said Capt. Norman Glover, sec
retary of the relief association, had
agreed that the name "EaSt-West"
would not be used in any publicity
for the game here; that the players
would not be offered money, and
that the only players used would
be those having written consent OF
their universities.

Ell Centre Junior college varsity
basketball team dropped its open
ing game of the 1941 season Thurs
day night, losing 45-42 to Trinidad
Junior college of Colorado In a
hard-fought game that was not de-
cided until the final 60 seconds OF
an overtime period.
The junior collegians, playing
without the services of their scor-
ing ace, Center Jack Fox, displayed
a smooth passing attack to sur
prise a capacity crowd by extending
transforming Colorado cagers.
Diminutive Ted Sander, a speed
demon on the court, contributed the
highest scoring effort of the night,
pacing the Arabs with II points but
Rip Radcliffe, lanky Arab guard
was probably the outstanding player
on the floor.
Radcliffe recovered the ball off
the blackboard with amazing adept
ness and fed the scoring plays with
accurate passing. Stacey Morgan,
Bill Payne and Frank Raab also
turned in creditable performances.
Ell Centro jumped into an early
lead in the first few minutes of the
game but succumbed to trail 1913
as the half ended. The Arabs once
again took lead in the early part
of the first half but Ted Sander
had to dribble from mid-court for
a setup to knot the count as the
gun sounded ending the game.
In the overtime period Big Bill
Norman. who scored Is points for
Trinidad, potted two baskets and
Carl Risley dropped a free throw
to put the Coloradoans in front,
45-4O. Radcliffe potted one from
the side and that ended the scoring
for the night.
