Ell Centro's hard hitting Spartans
Friday night turned the scheduled
football meet with the Holtville
Vikings into a track meet and after
the dust of the battle had cleared
the Spartans had chalked up 80
points while Holtville drew blank.
From lne opening gun it was
obvious that the Ell Centre power
house was too much for their out
weighed opponents and within six
minutes OF pIay El Centre had
posted its first touchdown.
Driving hard through the line
and tossing passes that meant
yards, the Spartans never once
slowed the fast pace they set at
the beginning of play.
TWO IN SECOND
Two more touchdowns in the
second quarter began with a beau
tiful drive over tackle by Nolan
Harvey which was good for 49
yards and touched. He also kick
ed the extra point.
Another touchdown followed the
interception of a pass on the Vik-
ings 35-yard line which immed-
lately was followed by completed
pass of 20 yards from Henry to
Harvey. This quick succession of
gained yards brought the Ell Centre
team out of hole which 15-yard
penalty had just placed them.
Throughout the play it was a
Henry to Harvey aerial attack that
showed under the Holtville squad
Ell Centro only failed to complete
two out of more than dozen as
Saults through the air.
HARVEY SCORES
Harvey again scored for the Spar
tans in the third quarter while
Parson and Beck, in a series OF
quick gains, accounted for the final
tally in the closing session.
Henry beautiful job of running
back plays drew heavy applause
from the good crowd who watched
the show. His passing left nothing
for the Ell Centro team to ask for
Every man on the Spartan squad
got a chance to see action in the
game.

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 16.-(UP)-
If Mr.. Mike Jacobs, the country's
leading fight promoter, just moves
over an inch, 33-year old Irish pro-
moter Joseph J. Lynch will move
in a mile.
He made the threat today, warn
ed Uncle Mike to get out Of the way
and then sat back to cogitate new
and novel means of turning up
more publicity for his Oct. 27
worlds lightweight bout between
Sammy Angott, the Louisville slug
ger, and slugger White, Baltimore's
Negro Buzzsaw.
A self termed "screwball" who
once swung at a sportswriter's nose
(and missed over a slight disagree
ment, thus violating the Nations
code of ethics of all promoters,
Lynch's next promotion at the
Hollywood stars baseball field will
be his fourth world championship
event. 1t will also be the first out
door night fight since the war.
NOT BASHFUL

WE GO
AGAIN
BY
THE OLD
OBSERVER

Sad Sam Naliboff, Ell Centro's
impreSsario of forthcoming con-
tests between gentlemen of the
gentle racket of bouncing lefts and
rights off each others noggins, is
really not so sad these days.
In fact, way down deep, Sam is
quite jubilant. He's got a contract
with the city for the ball park in
which to stage his shows, amt he?
He's got an eX-lightWeigt title con-
tender to make his matches. And
he has $1,000 odd sports hungry SOL
dierS, sailors and marines to fill
his arena, not to mention fans
among the citiZenry.
What matter to Sam that the
city council stuck him an extra $50
rental fee (Sam only expected to
pay S25 per show with all those
shekels in sight?
But there is one void in Sam S
picture of the future.
He needs peanut vender, good
old-fashioned. lonely whistling pea
nut vender. (There's no use men
tioning soda pop in these times)
If Sam hadn't popped off to the
council and recreation commission
about the value of those peanut
rights, they might have settled for
the S25 rental fee. But when he
told them the concession for fight
night was a gold mine,' it cost him
just an even $50 more to show in
the ball park. That amount, he said,
was the concessions value. OF
course, at the time, Sam was being
magnanimous and offering the city
the peanut rights. But the city
didn't want them, SO now Sam is
struck with them.
Do you have a little peanut
vender in your home?
Clyde Lee, city building inspector,
was the first to respond to Serg.

ment for the strong Marine ord

through with a pair of spiked
shoes. The sergeant advises that
anyone caring to donate can leave
the equipment at the police station
and he will call for it. The team
badly needs spiked shoes, suits,
baseballs, bats, uniforms and gloves.

elevens have a big following. If
people enjoy seeing games, they
undoubtedly enjoy seeing advance
dope on the teams. Not one school
in the area has a student assigned
to do publicity to aid in keeping
the teams activities before the
public. How come?
Wonder what a bullfighter thinks
about when he is lying on the
ground after being knocked down
by an enraged male COW, and looks
up into the soaring, bloodshot eyes
of the infuriated animal? This de-
partment hopes to find out. Not by
personal experience, y understand.

Dudley president of the Profess

nounced today that pro golf
though hard hit by the war-will
try to carry on for the duration,
with a War-aid program of tourna-
ments and exhibitions.
Dudley's announcement was tele-
graphed from Chicago to Fred
Corcoran, tournament manager of
the PAA, who was in New York
wondering whether or not to begin
preparations for winter and spring
competition.
Corcoran said, that's the an
nouncement I've been waiting for
Now we can go ahead with our
plans. Winter play will begin with

small band of professionals

over portions of COLTS once-golden

caravan comprises about $50 links
men. The Gypsies of the fairways
normally migrate from early Flori-
ola Journeys to the Pacific coast;
then back through Arizona, Texas,
and New Orleans to Florida; then
up through the Carolinas to the
Masters open at Augusta Ga.
Corcoran said, Il don't know how
many Journeys and exhibitions
we'll have along the trail this sea-
son. Only one course on the winter
spring route has been closed, so far
the one at Augusta. But more
than 400 members of the P.G.A. are
new in service-including many of
the best layers. like Sam Snead,
Ben Hogan, Paul Runyan, Jimmy

Prominent performers still avail
