Imperial Valley press., 1944-11-24

See-SaW, probably nothing 10 noun
ing tie. Then in rapid fire attacks
the Calexicans pushed across the
line an6 the scoring had started.
The Bulldogs failed to convert
on all three touch downs, twice be-
cause of fifteen yard penalties for
holding as the ball sailed between
the posts, only to miss them both
times after the penalties and second
try. The third try at extra point by
a pass failed. The border boys made
their other touchdoWns in the third
quarter.
The Spartans started their threat
in the last quarter when McQuade
carried the ball over after a series
CT plays that scented a rout for
the Bulldogs and possible victory
for tie El Centrans. But it ended
there, end although McQuade and
the Two Henrys made spectacular
runs, the Bulldogs tied them down
and the lone touchdown was the
best the E. c. boys could do.
Gutierrez, FimbreS and Felix
matched McQuade and the Henrys
in yardage. Out of the scrimmage
for the most part would appear
lads numbered 3, or 10 for the
Sparts and 20, % and % for the
/ CaleXicanS.
The Bulldogs had tough going to
keep from holding and for this they
suffered four penalties Of 60 yards
with two additional five yard viola
ton fines for total Of 70 yards
handed back to their foes, while the
i Spartans came off with one Is yarc-
er and three five-yard penalties for
i 80 precious yards.
] Fumoles and intercepted passes
+ accounted for yardage and goals.
McQuade was within an ace of
touchdown when he speared the
ball on long pass and raced down
/ the east sideline for 10 yards before
he was stopped. But here again the
/ green light" was switched to the
red" and the necessary ten yarcs
or so for a goal were refused by the
Bulldogs.
Again, on faxed punt McSuade
hit around Calexico's left end for
20 yards, next he took a forward
pass for 35 yarcs which put the
ball on the danger line. Again the
border boys said no"
The two High School bands in
stirring tunes and marches keyed
the crowds to high pitch preceding
the game.
Just a wee off-side play cheated
the Spartans out of a touchdown
late in the fourth quarter. Nc
Quade had completed a 25-yard
forward pass across the goal line,
but the play was called on the off
side penalty and the Spartans had
to punt on fourth down.
On the dot of 2:30 the whistle
blew and CaleXico kicked off. The
ball was received, jumbled and then
fumbled and CaleXico was within
striking distance of the south goal,
only 70 lose the ball on downs.
From here On 10 describe the
game play -by-play would be to
say that most Of the play was well
away from the goal lines most of
tne time, Win punts telling the fans
when the fourth Gown was up. Just
like that up to two minutes before
the half ended. Then Calexico took
the ball on the fourth down and
Fimbres, the "swirling Deryish"
made five yards; then on the next
play was downed for a loss. Next a
long forward pass was completed
on the. .Spartans' 5-yarc line. Padilla
took a short pass and there was
the first touchdown. AS has been
related, a holding penalty cancelled
the extra point.
The half ended as the Spartans
lacked a yard OF a first down on
the first play after Calexico had
kicked off.
