CaIexico I'm Grid Dri|
Border CityHa
Many Veteran
PLAYERS Back

CALEXICO, Sept. 25.-Grid Coach
Lee Boyle of Calexico high school
sent his youthful football charges
through stiff workouts during the
week as he sought TO get them in
shape for the seasons opening tus-
sle. a clash with the Ell Centre
eleven in Calexico on Oct. 8.
Gifted with the return of many
of his last years players Boyle will
have an extreme edge on other
valley coaches.
One of his greatest assets in this
respect lies in the fact that he has
three crack backfield men from the
1912 squad including Ralph Sama-
ha, Fred Brown and Albert Rami-
reZ.
MANY PLAYERS
In addition he has a wealth of
players who saw part-time action
last season and some outstanding
regular linemen from the 1912 ag-
gregation.
Boyle has shifted George Amos
and Oscar Morlett to end positions.
They played at tackle last season.
Elias Linn and Manuel Medina,
both experienced players, will hold
down tackle jobs.
Boyle has indicated he viii ex-
plot the aerial game to the fullest
extent and in this regard he is
extremely fortunate in having Sam
aha back. Samaha is whirlwind
passer and combines speed with
deception. In addition he is an
excellent ball-carrier who can he
relied on in tight spots.
OTHER GAMES
In addition to the opening game
with Ell Centre on Oct. 8 Calexico
will play the following schedule:
Oct. 15-Imperial at Imperial.
Oct. 22-Brawley at Calexico
Oct. 29-Holtville at Holtville.
Nov. 5-Yuma (place undecided
Nov. 25-El Centre at Ell Centlo.
Only four conference games will
count for the championship. Trans
portation problems have forced an
abbreviated schedule for all valley
schools.

Tommy Farr Seen
New Man as
He Aids War
RY JACK CJDDY

NEW YORK. June %6. tUP1-TSe
incredulous inhabitants of Punch
Promenade give credit to the war
for the reported transformation of
Heavyweight Tommy Farr from
hell to swell fellow"
Farr retr"ned from New York to
his native British isles in 1899 after
losing five consecutive bouts in the
United States. His departure was
punctuated with Bronx cheers along
Jacobs Beach. because the Welsh
Scrapper rad become thoroughly
disliked by nearly everyone con-
nected closely with boxing in
America.
In the Argot of Cauliflower Cam
yon, Farr seemed. to be a 'beel'-a
"Wrongo.' Despite the ruggedness
and gameness he displayed against
Louis, Braddock, Max Baer, Nova
and Burman. he was regarded as
an egotistical braggart and an un-
dependable tight-Wad.
Hence the surprise in gladiators'
gulch during the past few days at
the tributes paid to F'arr by Freddy
Corcoran, who returned recently
from war work in the British isles
Who is this gEy Corcoran?"-
the guys around Saillman's gym
wanted to know.
They were told that Corcoran was
the former tournament manager of
the Professional Golfers associa-
ton and more recently Red Cross
club director in the British isles.
They were informed that Freddy
Corcoran never gave sports writ
er bum steer
So the men of the fancy" had to
credit the transformation to the
war.
Corcoran reported that Farr was
giving his ALL for the entertain
ment of American and British
troops" Farr, who was in the Roy
al Air Force early in the war but
who was ousted because of impair
ed sight, now operates a hotel and
pub at Brighton, Eng His "jernt'
makes money while Tommy is or
the scene, personally. But Farl
leaves his money spot again ano
again to entertain the boys.
