The sports picture in Imperial
Valley is beginning to brighten a
little-at least from players view
point.
For a while it looked mighty
dark. All travel for high school
athletic teams was practically re-
moved from consideration and in
general the situation looked bad
Now we are happy to report that
the clouds are rolling away.

We understand that Cleo Shans.
formerly BraWleys best amateur
boxer, will not fight as feather
weight in the professional world.
For quite a while Cleo fought
professionally as lightweight and
was rated within the top two or
three in that division.
But since there has been such
a miXup in the lightweight bracket,
with Beau Jack and Sammy Angott
both claiming superiority, it is per-
haps just as well that Cleo has got
ten out of the mess.
Cleo was suspended recently by

BETTER EXPLANATION

If you want to get a better
understanding of an action by a
far-away body that had important
reactions locally read Dan Parkers
word picture in this weeks Golfers
of the New York state boxing COM
mission.
The commissions latest and
most Zany act was its refusal to
recognize El Centro's Ortiz as
bantamweight champion of the
world although he had trimmed
Lou Salica decisively and is re-
cognized by the National Boxing
Association as that titlehOlder.
Parker explains the innermOst
workings of the commission and
paints delightful expose of
General John Phelan and his
subOrdinates.
The general is not crooked,
Parker makes clear, he just
thinks that anything Uncle Mike
Jacobs whispers i'm his ear is the
gospel and that's that.

appropriately. "The Three Droli

Sportans; Arabs Prepare
For Season Opener Friday

=, The Spartans and the Ar
abs prepared their sharpest
and most deadly weapons for
the kill Tuesday.
The Spartans, which is
just another name for Coach Clar-
ence Sunny" Anderson's Ell Centre
high school basketball team, will
open their regular season Friday
afternoon against the Arabs of Ell
Centre junior college.
Since the game will be played in
the high school gymnasium, where
both teams hold their workouts
no violation of school board rules
prohibiting squad travel will be in
order.
At first glance the Arabs are set
up as favoriteS because of older and
more experienced players. How
ever. Anderson, who is coaching
here for the first year, has brought
his cage crew into promising pre-
! season form.
HEADING ATTACK
Spearheaded by Lewis Jackson,
All-Valley center from last years
CaleXico team, little Nolan Harvey
and Neal Gregg, transfer from South
Dakota, the SpartanS will have a
formidable aggregation to toss at
their big brothers of the hoop and
rebound.
Coach Gerry Dennerlein will be
counting upon tall Jack Suttle to
command the Arab attack from his
center position. In preseason prac
tice games Suttle has shown even
more improvement over the play
that brought him rave notices near
the end of last season. His height
under the basket will be hard to
match By the smaller Spartans.
From the competitive viewpoint
the game is natural. Year in and
year out the high school team and
the jaysee squad have built up
strong rivalry. This year is no eX-
ception. Perhaps the nearness of
the two teams as they run through
practice maneuvers has a tendency
to increase the feeling. No doubt
the several practice scrimmageS en-
gagged in by the teams has increaS-
ed the yen for an actual game.
REGULAR PRACTICE
While the jaysees were content
to hold a regular session of practice
Monday afternoon the high school
team played a newly organized team
from the Ell Centro Marine air
station.
REGULAR PRACTICE
While the jaysees were content

Monday afternoon the high school

ton.
The fliers won the decision, 51-39,
after some fancy ball handling by
both teams. The air five ran off
to an early lead and looked like
they had the game in the bag in
the first few minutes. But the
Spartans pulled together and end
ed up only seven points behind at
half time. The score was 22-15.
In the fourth period the Spartans
pulled up to within one basket of
the Filters, 1888, but the Marines
spurted again to win in the closing
moments.
Lanky Lewis Jackson was the key
man in the high school attack,
ringing up 16 points.
The Marines had several players
with college experience.

MELBOURNE, Australia, Jams
Newspapers here displayed promi-

ment official that the Japs are re-
ported to be massing the largest
armada they have yet sent into the
southwest Pacific.
Jap aircraft, apparently launched
from submarines, are scouting the
Australian and New Guinea areas.
The Australian government thus
suggested that large-scale am
phibious operation in the zone
northeast of Australia is imminent.
The official who gave the stories
to the newspapers and who told OF
the reported new Jap activity didn't
permit his identity to be known.
1t is suggested that these re-
ports probably prompted Prime
Minister Curtin to make his recent
appeal for more Allied aid.

0pA ANNOUNCES
VISA INSURANCE
IS AVAILABLE
Alaska Merchants Should
Contact Wholesalers
by January IS

All West Coast wholesalers are
now prepared to ship to the Alaskan
trade under War Shipping Admins
tration war risk coverage, it was
announced today by Mrs. Mildred
Hermann, Alaska Director of Price
Administration. She has contacted
Seattle wholesalers who do business
with Alaska retail merchants, and
was assured by them that they are
now prepared to act as agents for
the Alaska firm with whom they
deal in securing war risk insurance
with War Shipping Administration
policies.
Prior to January Is, 1913, the
wholesaler is permitted through
provision in the War Shipping
Administration regulations to give
this coverage without direct auth
orization from the retailer Pre-
viously the time allowed ives I'M
til December Is, 1912, but at the
request of various wholesalers and
insurance companies handling the
business, the Alaska Office of
Price Administration secured an ex-
tension of this time
Contact Agents
Afeter January Is no wholesaler
may act as agent for an Alaska re-
taller in this capacity, unless he
has been specifically authorized in
writing to do SO. 1t is essential
that all Alaska merchants who de-
sire coverage under War Shipping
Administration policies hould
write or wire all wholesalers with
whom they are at present doing
business, authorizing them to act
as their agent in securing this COW
erage
Suggested forms for this author
ization are available at the Office
of Price Administration in the VAL
entine Building. However, no spec
ial form is necessary. Any letter or
wire specifically authorizing the
wholesaler to act in this capacity
is sufficient The insurance rates
under War Shipping Administra-
ton coverage are much lower than
the commercial rates. Inasmuch as
the merchant is allowed only the
rate provided by War Administra-
ton in figuring his direct cost, it is
essential that merchants make pro-
per authorization to their whole
salers Immediately.
