After the le.morous conflicts of
the past week end in which fans
were treated • three thrilling
spectacles the £->uthwest Con-
ference Grid Pace will 1 ndergo
a let-down this week es if to
gather steam for five weeks of
hard strife to follow.
Two conference battles are sced-
uled Saturday but neither prom-
ises to have an important bear-
ing on the chamoionship chase.

Four Teams Undefeated in Race for Valley‘B’ Championship
---►
over previous games they art due
to be well plucked.
S3. M. vs. ‘Ole Mi*.’
The tussles ut . ustln and Col-
lege Station are the extent of the
conference warfare for the week.
Two member teams will scuffle
with out-of state units while an-
other is billed to invade West
Texas.
Southern Methodist having
loafed two weeks since Its socre-
less fray with Nebraska will get
back in harness against Mississ-
iopi University at Dallas the
week’s State Fair attraction. “Ole
Miss’’ lost its first four game this
season but did a comeback to
down Loyola tast week.
The Baylor Bears chastened
somewhat by t'-.eir close scrap with
Arkansas Saturday go to Shreve-
port for a bout with Centenary
College already trimmed by two j
Southwest Confer' ice teams. Al-
though the Bruins finally out-
scored the Razcrbacks 31 to 20
Coach Morley Jennings found
there were come vital defects in
his machine. Its inability to break
up the Porker passing attack
augurs ill for the Green when it
encounters such teams as Texas i
and T. C. T. Arkansas actually
held a one point lead at a time in
the last quari-r.
Froggies Feared
One of the two most feared out-
fits in the conference at the pre-
sent moment Texas Christian has
an engagement with Texas Tech
ct Lubboch. West Texas grid en-
thusiasts from hundreds of miles
around are expected to flock to
the hub of the plains to watch
the Frogs perform. Tech has a
stout eleven but it is doubtful it
can holi the Christians’ assault.
Fifteen thousand spectators who
jammed Clark ’ieid at Ft. Worth
left the stadium '•.onvinced the
Frogs are in the Jtie race to the
finish. There appears little doubt
that coach Francis Schmidt has
fashioned about the finest all-
round team ever to represent the
Purple.
Shelley Another Eckhardt
Tlie Longhorns gained equally as
many aunch supporters as the
Frogs by their smashing win over
the Sooners. Those who saw the
two conference teams win were I
divided into two rival camps to-
day each believeing it saw the
next conference champion in ac-
tion.
As Howard Grubbs. Frog Quar-
terback. emerged the outstanding
figure from the fray at Ft. Worth.
*o did Dexter Shelley the Long-
horn's 10-pound halfback grab
the spotlight at Dallas. Shelley
having taken on weight since last
season tore the Oklahoma line
to ribbons. They say he is anoihr
Oscar Eckhardt. He said of course
some valuable assistance from the
entire Texas team including a
forward wall that charged reck-
lessly and blocked to perfection.
CARDS FAVORED!
TOffIN TITLE
McAllen Close Second With
Mission and La Feria
t Given Slight Chance
With the season far enough along j
to give a fair indication of the!
strength of the Valley “B” elevens
there are still four undefeated teams
in operation—Harlingen McAllen j
Mission and La Feria.
Due to the imposing scores that
she has run up and her staunch
battle against the Brownsville high
school “A” Eagles Harlingen ap-
peal's to have the inside track on
the Valley penant. However she
will have to hurdle McAllen the
Hidalgo county bogey before she
can lay an undisputed claim on
championship honors.
Mission a Problem
It will be only a matter of time
before La Feria and Mission will be
jostled from the top rung—only un-
til they hit either Harlingen or Mc-
Allen according to current views.
Mission highly touted at the be-
ginning of the season has either
been hiding her light under a basket
or she is comparatively weak jud-
ging from the scores she has turned
against the lesser lights of the Val-
ley district. La Feria has not met
any of the tougher teams so far.
As to Harlingen and McAllen
the Cards have the advantage of the
dope. The Brownsville Junior col->
lege Scorpions played poor ball
without their offensive star Morris i
Pipkin to nose out the Bulldogs
6-0. They played a much better
game with Pipkin in the line-up
against the Cardinals but were
beaten 6-0. |
The current surprise is Coach 1.1
E. Martin's Weslaco Panthers. They
have a way of stumping the big
boy’s toes. Last week they held
Harlingen to 14-0. The Cards it
was said held the score down pur-
posely. However the Euildogs
will be taking no chances this com-
ing Friday when they clash with
the Panthers. They will be look-
ing for anything.
Top-heavy Score
Pharr-San Juan Bears have got
away to a fair start after being ab-
sent fro mine Valley hjgh school
football conference for several years
following the death of a star play-
er in a game with another Hidal-
go county team. This team may
also do a little slipping up on some
of their opponents.
McAllen High School Bulldogs
have been scored upon this season
and “Cowboy” Ogan has built a
team about Gene Cox and a few
other veterans that has already
sprung a surprise by whipping J.
D. Foster’s Edinburg Bobcats so
completely. The Bulldogs thus far
have scored 96 points to their op-
ponents nothing.
The standing of the Class B
teams in the Valley Is as follows:
team w l t pct.
MCALLEN 2 0 0 1.000
MISSION 3 0 0 1-000
LA FERIA 3 0 J
HARLINGEN 2 0 0 1.000

Chipper football weather at least
what Valleyites call football wea-
ther has descended upon the Rio
Grande delta. A coat is very com-
fortable at the time this column
is being written. We are so used
to the semitropical temperatures
however that any appreciable
drop becomes ‘‘football weather."
A good example of the differences
of opinion on “football weather” is
afford by the Brownsville-DePaul
game last season. The temperature
struck a new low level for the year
on the morning of the game sink-
ing below the freezing mark. It
warmed up a bit during the day
and the thrmometer 6tood around
50 at game time. The walloping
that the DePaul boys got is a mat-
ter of record. “Hot weather" was
the only alibi they offered and
they were sincere in their excuse.
Brownsville athletic authorities'
are looking for a record breaking)
crowd Thursday when the Eagles
take on the Aggie freshmen at
Tucker field. And their expecta-
tions are justified for it looks like;
a great gridiron shindig. Local
fans can be expected to pour out
and doubtless ex-Aggies from all
portions of the Valley will be on
hand to aid O. D. Deputy’s Farmer
cheering section. Deputy will
gather them at his home just to
the rear of Banker’s addition Tues-
day evening for a practice session.
The Eagles had better take Roy
Ruff into their confidences for he
can tell them what they will see
in the way of plays Thursday. Roy
is an ardent T. C. U. fan and he
knows their system pretty well. The
Aggie frosh used this style of at-
tack against Varsity for the past
week preparing them for the game
with the Frogs—to no avail for
they were "city slicked." But thats
another story. The Freshmen
have been running these plays and
will probably continue to do so:
against the locals. Roy sticks up
for his school and he has remain-
ed behind her although Coach Mat-
ty Bell now has his name on the
Aggies’ payroll. Here's hoping the
Aggic3 don't use that “city slicker”
play on us or at least that they
do not catch us in the midst of
the afternoon siesta. The wheeze
that Cy Leland used against the
Aggies successfully is so old that
the Farmers shouldn't gee it for its
hoary whiskers.

A healthy indication of good Eagle'
teams in the future is given by the
large number of sandlot elevens now
operating around Brownsville. There
are the White Owls the Lucky
lions Baby Bloodhounds Red
Beetles Red Ante and several oth-
ers. All of these are in addition
to regular elevens at the Junior
college high school Junior high and
St. Joseph’s college. There are
more than a hundred boys on the
last four squads named.
The sandlot elevens are so anx-
ious for action that they get to-
gether after Sunday school to bat-
tle things out. Yesterday the
White Owls downed the Lucky
I Lions 12-6.

The University of Texas and the
T. C. U. Horned Frogs have drawn

look good. The 8. M. U. eleven has
a two-week rest from their moral
victory over Nebraska and should be

be sufficiently mad over losing T.

some of that “powerful hidden

There are now four undefeated
“B” elevens in the race for the Val-
ley title. They are Harlingen Mc-
Allen Mission and La Feria. Stand-
ing head and shoulders above the
field are Harlingen and McAllen.
Coach “Dutch” Rektonk’s crew is
given a better than even break at
the pennant with the Bulldogs
second choice. Mission has totter-
ed along bravely tiping over suppos-
edly much weaker rivals. La Feria
was not heralded so much and has
mopped up with three opponents to
date. The Pharr-San Juan- Ala-
mo Bears are breezing along in fine
style in second place. They have
been defeated once.

tlement of the Red Fish Bay con-
troversy.
Settlement of differences between
people of the country and the King
Ranch is expected to result in Im-
mediate improvement of the road
to the beach.
Charles R. Johnson member of
the road committee of District 2
in that county states the district
has enough money to grade the
road to the bay to put a caliche
foundation on it and probably to
put a one-inch running surface on
the road. The bay has long been
a popular resort of people of the
country but difficult to reach be-
\ use of bad roads.

THE RED FISH bay agreement
comes immediately after Issuance
of another $1000000 In bonds by
Cameron county with plans for ex-
penditure of part of this sum for
paving a road to Boca Chlca.
The Valley finally will be in po-
sition to take full advantage of the
splendid beaches and resorts which
this section has.

Thursday between the Eaj... and
the Aggie first year team will oe the
proposed rooting squad of ex-Aggles.
It is a tradition and well termed
so that Aggies never lose their

Still football interest in Browns-

have become so much a part ox the
city that it will be Interesting to
see how many of the former Ag-
gies will actually root for the team
from College Station against the
Brownsville team.
