off it it had not been for penal
ties.
Although five members of the
Spartans were injured in last
Tuesdays practice, several of them
went into the game long enough
to spark plays and assure the
home aggregation of victory.
Ernest Alarcon, L. Beck and
Melvin Womack all played a great
game on defense.
The game was an extra -currlcular
contest, but revealed that the
Spartans have gone a long way
since the opening of the season and
a chance to meet CaleXico at this
stage of the valley conference
might reverse the loss they suffer-
ed at the hands of the Bulldogs at
the start of the year.
However, because of school fed
Grafton rules limiting high school
players to only six games for the
conference, the Bulldogs and Spar
tanS will not meet again in a con-
ference battle, leaving Calexico
riding high toward the conference
title.

Navy Anticipates
Iona Pacific War

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-(UP)-
Disclosure Of plans for the con-
struction of three 45,000-ton super
aircraft carriers was believed today
TO indicate that the navy antici-
pates long war in the Pacific.
The first of these carriers is not
expected to be ready for at least
two years despite the speed-up in
naval construction. For one thing,
they are an entirely new type of
craft for which there is no prev
ious construction experience. Sec
ondly, mass production which is an
important factor in speedy ship
construction, is not contemplated.
The present navy carrier program
is directed largely at developing
sea-borne air power for the war
against Japan. Observers suggest
ed that the navy would not have
undertaken to build the super-car-
riers at this time if it anticipated
an early victory over Japan.

WOOL GATHERING AIRY
Woodbury. was in a reminiscing
mood Now boxing inspector for
this district, Harry has been tied in
with the hox-fight business for 10,
these 20-odd years, and at once
time owned most of the leather
pushers' contracts in this area. He
has seen them come and go. Champ
ions? The valley has produced its
share.
Harry remembers when Ceferino
Garcia first came in from the heat
of the vegetable fields and began
acquainting boxers and fans with
his particular round-house swing
which later became known through
out boxing as the "bolo punch,
and perfected it to the extent that
it carried him on to the middle
weight championship of the world.
ANOTHER PICKER-Then there
was Young Dado, another vegetable
picker who started here in Ell Gen.
tro, waded his way through all
opposition and finally was crowned
the kingpin of the feathers 1t has
mt been SO long ago that Dado was
automatically removed from his
title because of his increased weight.
Another Filipino, Young Valderama,
SO Harry says, was the greatest
fighter among those of that race
who ever hit this country. But VAL
derama decided to cast his lot with
the service, and never reaped the
harvest of greenbacks a public fight
career would have given him. He
boxed his way to the feather and
bantamweight crowns of the navy,
however.
FOUGHT 5 CRAMPS--In reca pi-
tulating Imperial Valleys boxing
greats the name of little Bobby
Pacho always stands out. He fought
nine main events in New Yorks
Madison Square Garden, five Of his
fights being with worlds champions.
He boxed Barney Ross three times.
and finally wound up with the du-
bious bauble which represented the
junior lightweight title, which he
took from Tod Morgan. And there
was Tony Escalante, the colorful
Mexican fighter, who beat many
of the best in the 135-pound divi-
sion.
A 3-ROUNDER-Anot local
product was Joe Brown, who won
the lightweight title of Mexico in
torrid 43-rounder, and who later
went on to k.o. Tommy White in an
elimination tournament to find a
challenger for the lightweight title
OF the world. In that same tourna-
ment, Tommy O'Brien, another local
product, knocked out K. o. Chaney.
but in doing so automatically elimi-
mated himself by breaking his hand
in flooring White.
THE FOUR-ROUNDERS-In the
early '20's when four rounds of
fighting was the legal limit in Cali
fornia, Dick Hoppe and Eddie Dig
gins, both of this district, became
the biggest drawing cards at Holly
wood and other Southern Califor-
mia boxing emporiums.

Vikings Nose
Out Tigers 90

Two laterals and a forward pass
into the arms of Billy Hogue, Holt
vile right halfback, who raced over
the Tigers goal line, was the only
tally of the evening which was fea-
tured by spectacular end runs, a
dozen passes and a punting duel
that time after time eliminated one
threat after another.
The pass which netted the Vik-
ings their touchdown was protest.
ed by Prof. Charles Hancock, prin-
cipal and coach of the Imperial
team, who said that the passer had
been tackled by one of his men and
stopped before he shot the pass to
Hogue.
Pat Williams, one of the officials
of the contest, said that the lateral
pass receiver, who in turn passed
Imperial Valley press., 1943-10-24

the ball to- Hogue, never had been
stopped and that the ball was in
play at the time it was thrown.
Imperial, the lighter of the two
teams, led in yardage gained
throughout the first half and on
three occasions threatened the
Vikings by continuous marches that
once placed them on Holtville's s.
yard line The Vikings held, how
ever, and when Imperial lost the
ball on ocH, they kicked out Of
danger.
The half ended with neither side
in the scoring column. Through
the third quarter Imperial held its
own until the crucial pass that
gave Holtville the lead.
AS the game neared its end I'm
perial threatened the Vikings for
the last time and lost the ball just
before the gun ended the game.
Both teams in the cellar spot in
the valley conference, they turned
in the best game of the season
from a spectators standpoint, most
fans believed.

With the lightweight title fight
between Sammy Angott. one-time
ruler of the division, and Slugger
White next Wednesday night in
Wrigley field, drawing nearer,
Whites hackers began to appear in
droves.
Despite the fact that Angott
never has been knocked out in

ceded to pack more ammunition in
his two mitts than the slugger,
there are plenty who believe White

These are jittery days for Michael
Strauss Jacobs. Fight results in
the morning papers make him so
nervous he can hardly down a
saucer of coffee.
Mixes pugilists and scheduled
shows have suffered SO many ref
erses recently that he has taken
out copyrights on the expressions:

so many fistic affiliations that he
considers changing his middle

promoter Jacobs.
