a __ MONDAY, (, JANUARY’ 30, 1939. — HIGH SCHOOL NOTES By JEAN MARTZ Tite Grass Valley high shoo Miners defeated the Nevada City Yellowjackets in two very hard fought and close games Friday night. Both of the Nevada City teams proved to be} at their very best and gave Grass Valley who were quite confident of an easy victory a great surprise. The B game began in favor of the Jackets.

Grass Valley led at the THE SHAMROCK CAFE ‘half 17-8 and at the third quarter . by even a larger score 25-12. In the ifourth quarter Nevada City again clicked and came up to make the closing score 23-30. The Jackets played their best game of the year and if they play as well when they meet the Miners on their own floor, the score may go the, other way. The ‘ollowing boys made points: Pingree, high point man, 12; Tobiassen, 9 and (Martio 2. A GAME EXCITING The A game was even more exciting than the B. The starting lineup was Childers, Gates, Lotz, Doolittle, and Kopp. Brown and Reeder each entered the game once for a_ few minutes play. During the first quarter the boys guarded so closely that the Miners did not get a basket, while our boys counted up. five Oints. In the second quarter it was loser and the Miners came up to make the score 8 to 8 at the half. The Miners got a good many of their points by fouls on the Nevada team. The third quarter was the most exciting of the whole evening.

This exhibit likewise will display a number of original documents, historical and otherwise. the remains of quail egg shells scattered about the mouths of squirrel burrows in five different places. Some indication of how drastically the squirrels may reduce quail populations was obtained from the. results of a rodent control campaign carried on over an area of some 300 acres. The area in which poison had been spread showed an increase of 154 per cent in quail population between February 1936, and February 1937. During the same period quail in an unpoisoned area of 350 acres showed an increase of only 45 per cent. In Glading’s opinion the increase in the unpoisoned area may have resulted from an overflow of quail from the area in which the ground squirrels had béen reduced in number by ss redent control proSIS THE bl Oi all HASY CHATR MA Mr. and Mrs. Wyant, Props.

Ja Jan. — The next few months are ee to see a struggle in Mexico between the forees of organized labor and the army, which traditionally has ‘been a source of political power. This is the prediction of Dr. Russell H. Fitzgibbon, assistant professor of political science on the Los Angeles campus of ‘the University of California, Dr. Fitzgibbon is an authority on Latin-America. “The leader of the present dominant labor uuion group, Lombardo Toledano, may be President Cardenas’ opponent at the national elections in 1940,” Dr. Fitzgibbon pointed out. “The army and labor have not gotten along very well and a struggle between those two forces is likely. “Death in battle.of the military leader, Cedillo, one ‘time secretary of labor, eliminates one of Cardenas’ opponents. Calles is an exile in California. Thus the split ‘between Cardenas,and Lombardo, Toledona, the two esent political leaders of importance, is not unlikely.” As for President Cardenas, the present chief executive of. Mexico, his popularity with the people is rivaled only by that the President Juarez, the “Mexican Abraham Lincoln,” believes Dr. Fitzgibbon. ersonal.
