~v ball. Sy _FRIDAY, OCT. 14, 1932 ee — BI HIGH FOOTBALL TEAM DETERMINED TO WIN Smarting under the sting of last week’s 6-0 defeat at the hands of of the Placerville high school, the local warriors buckled down to hard work all this week and have the determination of taking it out on San Juan_ High _school_of _Fair-—Oaks, whom they play tomorrow at Fair Oaks. " Coach Barron; although some-. what disappointéd with the result of last week’s game, thinks that it may have beén a good thing, inasmuch as it certainly brought down the Swelling in some of the Wiayers’ heads. After winning a game such as the local boys did three weeks ago against Auburn; (14-0) -it is Sometimes almost necessary to take one.on the chin to bring about the Proper equilibrium. That bitter pill has been taken—now it is up to the team to play real ball for the remainder of the’ season. In the Placerville game, Chapman had the’ misfortune to fumble a ' punt which was recovered by the ’: Placerville team. Some people are inclined to put the blame for the defeat on his shoulders, which’ is wrong. Of course it was a mistake on his part when he fumbled, but there. is not a safety man in the world who has not fumbled a footImmediately after that fumble, the team had the hard luck of being penalized thirty yardg which put the ball on the five-yard line. And there went the old ball game. The fact remains that Nevgda City was not able to put over a touchdown in the remaining. 50 minutes of play. Chapman. very nearly redeemed himself in the fourth quarter. when he ran a punt back 40 yards: to the Placerville 25-yard line. If one of his team-mates had clipped out the safety man it would have been a touchdown and perhaps a victory. As it was, very good blocking was done on that play. If more playing like that had been displayed, a much better showing would have been made. Oates, fullback, was the only player to make any gains through the Placerville line. The other backs on end runs were handicapped by the lack of proper interference ‘once they got beyond the line of scrimmage. Many plays worked to perfection up until that time. Then, because Somebody forgot to take out his man, the ball carrier would be stopped. A good back can get nowhere without interference. Blocking and clipping are in fact more important than ball packing. Coach Barron is experiencing some trouble in developing a man to hold down the left end position. Tamblyn, regular right end, is the only end that has shown to good advantage ‘to date. for some ambitious player to hold down at left end. Several of the boys trying for the job are somewhat weak at going after passes and at breaking up interference. The rest of the line held up fairly well in. the Placerville game. The backfield was very weak in blocking for, the runners, Tuckojini, fast halfback, lost several chances to gain because of that fact. Double reverses worked particularly well on execution but were not carried to a good finish. Oates had the best of the punting argument: and. his. kicknig . shoula stand Nevada City in good stead throughout the present season.

The Encyclopedia Brittannica states that gold is a metallic chemical. element valued from the earliest ages on account of the permanency of itg color and lustre; that gold ornaments of great value and elaborate workmanship have been discovered on sites belonging to the earliest known civilizations—-Minoan, Egyptian, Assyrian, Etruscan. And in ancient literature gold is the universal symbol of the highest purity and value. In all ages it has been the measuring staff as in the Old Testament from which we quote, ‘‘More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold.’’ The very dawn of civilization found this yellow metal prized above any other possession. Its permanency of color and lustre, its being the most malleable and ductile of all metals, ideal for use in the fashioning of objects of art and personal adorn‘ment; made of it the lode stone that j. has ever since been the greatest single influence upon the course of 4 the world and its people. The New World was discovered in the world’s quest for gold . The Spaniards’ lust for this precious metal brought destruction and death to natives, individuals, families, tribe and nations. Neither honor nor life have counted for aught in this mad search. It is perhapg the irony of fate that caused the Spanish races to live for three centuries in California without knowing that . this precious metal lay at their very feet; to have it found by. an Ameri}-can who had shortly before come out from the east;*to have California forever lost to Mexico and Spain as a result of finding this gold, in . search of which for centuries untold Spaniards and their victims had lost their lives. _Marshall’s chance discovery in the mill race of Sutter’s mill at Coloma flooded the entire world with a fever that resulted in breaking up families; the enduring of _unimaginable hard‘ships; the building of impossible hopes; a wave of fervor as intense (;}as that which sent tens of thou. sands-ofChristian Crusaders to Pal‘estine if an unsuccessful endeavor to wrest the ‘holy lands from the From every state in the Union, from every nation on earth—they came by the thousands, across the continent, ‘. past ambushed hostile savages, beneath desert suns and mountain The Yuba River Country aniaeinain ena USE OF TIRE CHAINS A tire chain should never be installed on one rear wheel only.

Marshall had found gold in a stream and there others sought it. For one hundred miles south and north they searched the stream beds from the Sacramento and San Joaquin floors to their source in the high Sierras. How long thig might have contihued is hard to say. But one October day in 1850 a man by the name of George McKnight walked across what was then called Gold Mountain on his way to Boston Ravine, now part of Grass Valley, and stubbed his toe so hard a piece ofrock. was dislodged. by.-hisboot: He stopped, fascinated by the yellow glitter on the white rock that his kick had uncovered. At that time there were about fifteen. or twenty cabins in Grass Valley, but the new knowledge that gold actually came in the very rocks of the hills spread like wildfire and by March there were more than 150 buildings, among them _ several stores, saloons and shops. Marshall’s discovery brought about the great gold rush—than which there has been in the world’s history no more romantic movement. But the river gold upon which this movement was founded was quickly exhausted and its effect on the welfare of California and the nation must necessarily have) been most transient. _M¢Knight’s discovery at Grass Valley, on the other hgnd, was not so spectacular but his finding of quartz gold laid the foundation for the tremendous industry of gold mining; made of California a great state and materially helped the United States to become a world power, Today the spot is marked by a granite monument, set upon ancient rock and, cement foundation with rust encrusted iron bolts still pointing skyward and topped with a great chunk of gold bearing quartz.
