1t was the line play against Braw-
ley that caused Birnbaum the most
worry. Although the SpartanS won,
30, the center of the line did not
come up to expectations. Against
Holtville the linemen performed
we'll as the SparJanS won, $50, but
opposing them were green, inexper-
fenced guards and tackles.
BLOCKING STRESSED
Blocking was stressed Tuesday in
the first practice after the bruising
encounter with the Wildcats.
The Tigers line, which has ono
player over 200 pounds and several
weighing ITO or more, may cause
lots of trouble. Coach AL LonSki has
been prepping his boys with special
practices for the Spartan running
attack, which in the Wildcat and
Holtville game consisted mainly of
reverses around the ends interSperS-
ed with lateral passes and an occa-
Sional power play Fullback Lester
Horizons plunglng ability was used
rarely and the four good passers
in the backfield were given little
chance to display their ability.
The main threats in the Tiger
backfield seem to be Jack Googe,
fullback, who has scored both I'M
perials touchdowns in the two l. V.
league games played and Arnold
Augusta, quarterback, who made two
scores against Calipatria in a nom
league game.
Googe is hard-running and good
pasSer His most potent weapons
are pair of legs that give him more
than average drive.
Augusta is small and shifty. He is
built along the same lines as Ed
Alarcon, Spartan quarterback, and
is one of the fastest men on the
Tiger squad.
Also in the Tiger backfield will
be either John Carlton or Herman
Pinedo at left half and Ernie Mer-
ritt at right half

a long way toward solving the
eastern oil shortage as well as the
nations tire recap problem.
Right now, Pennsylvania Rail
road boxcar is being outfitted In
the Indiana plant of the United
States Rubber Company with a
thiokol bladder.
This bladder is known techni-
cally as a Mareng cell and. II the
experiment Is successful, the car
will be used in lieu Of tank car.
The story of the Marend cell
goes back to experiments by Reid
Gray, chief engineer for Glenn L.
Martin Company. He thought that
bladders could be installed in air.
plane sections as fuel reservoirs
and, being collapsible, they could
be easily replaced or repaired.
The name Mareng cell comes
from Martin Engineering.
The railroad car experiment
calls for six separate bladders OF
thiokol-which resists the corro-
sive action of oil. These will be
installed In a simple wooden truss
work to keep them from sloshing.
II necessary, the cells can be
removed, the trusswork removed,
and the car used for regular mer-
chandise on the return trip.
The cars, because of weight linn.
itations, will only be filled about
half way, but even so. experts esti.
mate they'll carry 1900 to $1,000
gallons as compared with 10000 in
the average tank car.
The Association OF American
Railroads figures that 5000 cars
could be spared. which would po.
tentially be able 10 move 80 mil.
ion gallons q month.
= II the experiments are success
full, they'll probably be outfitted
despite the reported $4,000 per car
cost.
