VALLEY FOOTBALL
OFFICIALS WILL
TAKEC.I.E. Tests

Imperial Valley football coaches
will take tests to be given by the
California Interscholastic Fedora
ton this year it was disclosed Tues
day after meeting with Seth Van
Patton, commissioner of athletics
for the southern part of the state.
A grade of 80 per cent or better
will qualify them as authorized C.
l. F. officials to work high school
and junior college football games
here. The tests, which cover foot
ball rules comprehensively' will be
given before the first high school
game of the season on October 2.
At the meeting Monday night a
number of valley coaches and Off
cials heard Van Pattons report on
coast football, elected Viggo Hansen
to head the association of officials
and made plans for the coming
season.
Prices charged By the officials to
work high school and junior college
league games in Imperial Valley
will remain $3.50 Non-league games
will be worked for S. per official.
Regular association meeting time
was set for Monday night at 7:30
pm.

for years and years in the major
leagues.
His constant use of pinch-hitters
and extra base-runnerS and smart
use of pitchers has branded him the
outstanding pilot in decades.
For instance: SouthWorth's motto
Make them throw you out
was we'll demonstrated in two cru
cial games with the Pittsburgh
Pirates. On Sunday a double steal
by Card runners brought a one-run
victory. On Monday another steal
played an important part in the
Card win.
The Cardinal runners have to be
fast to be on the team and they
take advantage of their fleetness by
making the opposition play on its
toes at all times.
If the Cards take the National
league flag, SouthWorth will have
played a major role in the achieve
ment.

Columnists Guiding Army

ist columnist can write will affect
the situation.
Some announcement Will be made
at New York during the World SER
les by Commissioner Kenesaw M.
Lands regarding the future of base
ball. This announcement will be
based entirely upon advice from
the proper authorities in the war
and Navy departments. But, re-
gardleSS of the announcement, if
conditions change before the 1943
season opens in spring, another an
nouncement may change the picture
completely.
The study of American history
since the days the pilgrims set foot
on Plymouth rock reveals two sal
lent characteristics of our national
progress: Dadaptability, CO bal
ance. Down through the years,
our melting-pot population has had
the happy ability of adapting itself
to any condition. Meanwhile, we
maintained a balance in which reli-
gion an drecreation and hard-head-
ed business and justice flourished.
Most Americans had a smile as they
went about their tasks. The smile
is still there-because we've still
got our balance. And it will still
be there whether or not we have
sports next year. The men in the
war, navy and other departments
will take care of our balance That's
their business. So-there's no need
now of frothing at the mouth about
the future of sports.

The final and decisive blow has
yet to be struck but apparently it
is on the way for the Brooklyn
Dodgers. BY Thursday-Friday at

pennant should belong to the st.
Louis Cardinals.
Today the Cardinals have five
more games to play and the Dodg-
ers six. The Redbirds now hold q
2i2 game lead over the Hopping
flatbushers and any combination
totaling four will give them the
flag. Even if Brooklyn wins all its
remaining contests. the Cardinals
have only to win three to clinch

BY JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, Sept. 22-UP) -
We suggest that the various sports
columnists stop trying to tell the
men in charge of army public re-
lations what should be done about
sports during the war.
We make this suggestion because,
during the past week, we have been
exposed to a couple of columns
which insinUlte that the possible
continuation Of professional sports
during the next year would be
direct slap in the face for the men
who are fighting and to their fam
lies.
Whether this is true we do not
know. But we are confident that
the men at the head of the public
relations bureaus of the army, navy
and other service branches know
more about what should be done
with sports during the war than
any civilian sports columnist whose
outlook may be governed entirely
by what the war may mean to him
personally. K
There have been insinuations, for
example, that the payment of mon
ey to Sgt. Joe Louis and Private
Billy Conn for engaging in heavy
weight title battle on Oct. 12 will
have an adverse effect upon the
morale of all athletes in service
and the civilian population.
Without disclosing any military
secrets, we can tell you now that
the matter of paying Champion
Louis for this title defense was con-
sidered for months by the most able
minds in the war department.
brass hats far above public rela-
tions division. Because of certain
aspects of the Louis case, the de-
cision to pay Joe was one of the
smartest ever made-a decision af-
fecting the morale of millions OF
persons in service and out. This
very touchy question of morale as
it affected a large and important
sector of our fighting men and civ
ilians never was mentioned in any
service communique. So we Will
not enlarge upon it now. The queS-
tion of paying Conn never was an
issue, at all. His private debts are
being paid merely because Louis is
being taken care of The entire
matter was handled adroitly by the
war department, regardless of any
misinformed critics, as you doubt
less will learn after we have won
the war.
Similarly, certain columnists are
foaming at the mouth because there
IS a possibility that major league
baseball may be continued in 1943
that able bodied men, who might
be oft there fighting, are indulging
in our national pastime and get
ting paid for it,
Gentlemen, you may rest assured
that we will have no major league
or minor league baseball, for that
matter, next year unless the men
who know what is best decide that
the continuation of baseball is best.
And nothing that we or any alarm
