CaIexico Doubles
Tourney To Be
Played Sunday

With a promise from the
weatherman that the rains are
over, Calexico tennis tourna-
men officials went ahead with
plans to stage the annual dou-
bles tournament on the border
city courts Sunday, according to
Lyn johnson. tournament man
ager.
More than IA doubles teams of
the Imperial and Yuma valleys

tournament, Johnson said, with
the Maxwell ll-RieSsen tandem
seeded No. l. Leidig and White,
Brents and johnson and Hens
and Bowker were expected to Of
fer most serious opposition for
the defending champions.
The turnament will be divided
into two divisions this year,
Johnson said, with the seeded
teams placed in the top bracket,

Winner and runerup trophies

Charley Gehringer is healthy again.
Gehringer started the 1940 season
with a back SO bad you couldn't
have taken it to a friendly pawn

exchange.
Right now Gehringer is good a.
gain. True, he is a year older, but
he feels good and as long as the
Dutchman feels good, he can play
second base for any team.
Look at the Tigers all around.
The catching staff of Sullivan and
Tebbetts will be better. No team
in the league has two better re-
ceivers. The pitching staff will be
stronger. NeWson will head it and
there is a young man named Floyd
Giebel who'll take up the slack if
Rowe and Bridges slip bit. Giebel
you'll remember, is the youngster
who licked Feller in the blue-chip
game with Cleveland in the dying
days of the 1910 season.
York and his big bat will be on
first. Gehringer at second, a
spryer Bartell on short, and the
standout infield star of the 1910
series, Pinky Higgins, on third.
The club will start with a pretty
fair fellow named Greenberg in
left field, and the best young out
fielder in either major league, Bar
ney McCoskey, in center.
l can't see why the Indians and
the Yankees have such an edge
on this team. The Yankees Will
be experimenting like scientist
hunting for the common cold germ
and the Indians are sure to go
through more trouble than a biga-
mist behind in his alimonies. They
always have had their troubles
and there is no use expecting them
to become all sweetness and light
overnight.
To my way of thinking (and what
great way it is, too, il you don't

and Murray turned back Santa Bar
bara State of California, 35 to 33.
The CalifornianS led most OF the
game but saw their small advantage
dwindle to two points before they
turned on their full power and made
it into the finals for the third
straight year.
San Diego was ahead % to II at
the half. worked up to a 81 to ~
margin with only seven minutes
to play, then watched a Texas sub
stitute. Dewey Johnson, almost sim
handed make the score 81 TO
35. The lead then see-Sawed until
the final minute, which found san
Diego in front 43 to 40. Until the
whistle blew San Diego played an
intra-squad game of keep-aWay.
California's hopes Of an all-state
final were blasted by the hard
fighting Kentuckians who scuttled
Santa Barbara. Although obviously
weary from their third tournament
in as many weeks. the Kentuckians
shot and passed with great accur-
acy.
Paralleling the course OF the 9TH
er game, the Kentuckians, who had
led l6 to II at the half, watched
Santa Barbara overcome that lead
in the final eight minutes.
Under the drive OF fiery little
substitute forward. Bill Leveille, the
Santa Barbara tied the count at
1928 with six minutes to go. Then
the score see-sawed up to 1921, IN
favor of Murray, at which point
Tom Guerrero put Santa Barbara
ahead with a goal from the SIDE
lines
With the second hand of the
clock making its final revolution
and Santa Barbara leading 33 to
80, Leslie McKeel 3linChed the game
for Murray with long pass.
There was a scramble for the
ball, and the Kentuckians got 1t.
They were so reluctant to yield 1t
that they refused two free throws,
but had a third coming when the
game ended. The post-game free
throw made the score 35 to 33.
Santa Barbara and West TeXa6
play tonight, before the champion

This may come under the head
ing trying to tell the high schoo
board of directors how to run theil
business. but I hope 1t will be re-
garded, instead, merely as a bit OF
counsel from a chap who has made
sports reporting and observing his
life work ~. S. Army permitting
and who believes in member OF the
El Centro high school physical edu-
cation department.
There may not be a need for this
article-I hope not-but Coach Bill
Maxwell of the e Centre high
school pc. staff is serving his third
year as assistant coach here and
there is a policy of El Centre school
boards TO avoid the practice Of max
ing teachers permanent.
Under the present tenure rule
a teacher who serves four years in
a school the size OF FL Centre be-
comes a permanent member OF the
faculty. Therefore the board is re-
luctant to keep teachers more than
three years.
You may believe. on first thought.
that this is the Bench Warmers
campaign week. First there was a
plug to rebuild the high school GYM
nasium, then to rename FL Centre
stadium and now the article urging
the re-hiring of Maxwell.
OF the three issues. however, I
feel this is the most important be-
cause the molding of character of
El Centros youngsters, and that
is what physical education actually
accomplishes, is by far the most
vital job in our community.
One needs only TO review the &C
complishments of Bill Maxwell since
he became assistant coach at FL
Centre high three years ago, to
realize Just why he should be re-
tanned and made a permanent men,
Der of the faculty.
Maxwell took hold Of the tennis
program in his first year in El
Centre, built the El Centre high
squad from just another team in the
valley league to a pennant conten-
der, organized city tennis club and
was instrumental in bringing about
an increase in play throughout the
valley.
He served as assistant football
coach and as assistant basketball
coach at the high chool, then took
over the duties of basketball coach
at the El Centro junior college this
year when Robert Armstrong pass
ed away. Maxwell groomed what was
probably the best cage squad TO
represent the jaycee in history of
the school.

Connie Mack today announced he
