Conference Opener
For Both Squads To
Be Played Locally.
Coach T. H. McKown’s Falfur-
rias Jerseys journey to Aransas
Pass Friday night to meet the
Panthers in the first 39-A con-
ference game of the season for
both teams. Game will start at
8:00 o’clock at the local stadium.
From their games already play-
ed this season, the Jerseys give
promise of making a stronger
play for conference honors than
was earlier expected. In spite of
the fact that they are under a
new coach and that the squad lost
heavily from graduation last
spring, the team scored 19 to 0
over Premont, and last Friday
completely outclassed the Miran-
do City Panthers 54 to 0.
Of even more interest in Dis-
trict 39-A, however, is the fact
that in a scrimmage game tiny
defeated the strong Kingsville
Brahmas, while the Sinton Pir-
ates, favorites in this district,
went down before Kingsville Fri-
day 24 to 6. Falfurrias’ score
over Kingsville was 12 to 6. „
Hise, 127-pound back with 32
points to his credit already, will
be the man to watch on the Jer-
sey eleven. The Jerseys out-
weigh the Panthers by an aver-
age weight of 151 pounds to 146
pounds.
Starting Lineups
Starting for the Panthers will
be Couch and Faulk, ends; C. H.
