Brahmas Meet Robs-
town Here Friday
With three conferenre victories
to their credit and leading the race j
for District 16 championship, the!
Kingsville Hi Brahmas this Friday
night at 8:00 will meet Robstown’s
hard fighting Cottonpickers on the
A. & I. gridiron. The Brahmas are
not Just out to keep pacing the
pack, but they are out this week
to show Kingsville followers that
they have one of the best teams in
several years and are not to be dis-
mayed by any "Jinx”. The whole
team is in fine shape and is work-
ing out each day now with the sole
purpose in mind of beating Robs-
town.
The feud dates way back to the
beginning of high school football
in this section, and has become so
heated that each year fans from
all over South Texas turn out to
see the battle. Friday nite Coach
Rundoll will put on the field a team
that is just hitting its stride and
should be plenty tough to stop. In
Captain Blahuta, guard, and Fritts,
right end, Robstown has two line
men who are on a par with the
best in the district. The whole line
is big and heavy, but lacks experi-
ence. The Robstown offense is
built around the passing of Dub
Speer and the pass receiving and
running of Bigger, versatile half-
back. All in all, Robstown lias just
the kind of a team that is hard to
figure out. Last week they beat
Brownsville by a top heavy score
of 26-0. The week before they lost
to Laredo 66-0. They are erratic,
but if they are right, it will take
plenty of the kind of football
Kingsville can play to down them.
This year Barr has the best
chance of turning the trick that
any Brahma coach hus had in sev-
eral years. All it takes is fight,
determination and forgetting of the
persistent Cottonpirker Jinx.
The Robstown scores of the past
six years show Kingsville plays
much better on home soil than on
enemy territory.

that of the Brahma Sponsor, Miss
Eleanor House, und the Brahma
Favorites: Misses Martha Bryant,
Jo Keepers, Alice Wilson, Mary
Margaret McCauley, Virginia Trav-
is, Edna Butler, Kathleen Jester,
Ruth Mecklln, Ruth Campbell, and
Sarah Francis Connell — all of
whom were elected by the football
squad. In addition to this group,
there is the Pep Squad, composed
of thirty-two girls, led by the yell
leaders. Misses Martha Rose Clam-
pitt and Ernestine Kelly.
Militaristic describes the uni-
forms of both groups, that of the
Sponsor and Favorites being of
flashy gold wool trimmed with
black military braid. The militaris-
tic note is enhanced by the rippling
black, satin-lined capes and drum
major hats. No less militaristic is
the Pep Squad, donned in a smili-
lar dress and over-sea caps. The
yell leaders, in accordance with
the general design, wear black
wool trousers and gold wool coats
with which is worn black over-sea
caps.
Spectacular was the debut of the
Brahma Favorites and the Pep
Squad at the Brownsville—Kings-
ville game, Saturday night, Oct. 27.
The Favorites, led by the sponsor,
in a goose-stepping rhythm, march-
ed to the fifty-yard line and return-
ed to lead the Pep Squad in forma-
tion. After making a block turn in
the center of the field, the Pep
Squad gave several snappy yells
while the Favorites marched on to
the goal posts und formed a single
line on each side. The Pep Squad
marched on to form in single lines
behind the others, which formation
was held until the Brahmas came
dashing through the ranks. As they
filed through, the girls saluted.
The formation was broken by
marching two abreast from the
field.
A similar demonstration was
given in Harlingen Friday night by
a group of twenty-five members
who attended the game.
The Harlingen team only threat-
ened the Brahmas' goal line twice
during the whole game and one of
these times was in the first five
minutes. When Harlingen got on
the eight yard line the Kingsville
boys began to tighten up the line
and they held for four downs.
When Kingsville got the ball in
their possession, they tried one
running play and then punted. Wil-
liams punted to Harlingen thirty.
The first touchdown of the game
was made on a trick play when the
hall was brought in after it had
been run out of bounds. On this
play Williams skirted left end for
about thirty yards and a touch-
down, making the score 6-0 in fa-
vor of Kingsville. The try for the
extra point was bad.
The second touchdown of the
game was made during the third
quarter when Fry intercepted a
pass and ran about forty yards for
a touchdown, making the score 12-
0. Williams tried to drop kick the
extra point but failed.
The final touchdown of the game
was made in the last quarter when
Williams returned a punt about 92
yards for a touchdown, muking the
score 18-0.
In the last few minutes to play
Harlingen threatened the goal line
again the second time in the game.
the unusual, "The Lucky Jade", •$-
act musical comedy, will be pre-
sented on December 14, at Kings-
ville High School. The cast is un-
der the personal supervision of E.
H. McCombs, director of music,
und will he comprised of student
talent chosen from the various
musical organizations of I the
school.
“The Lucky Jade" is to be a type
of entertainment different from
that ordinarily presented at high
school. "This story we offer for
your indulgence is one of the sunny
old Virginia where love and in-
trique, tears and laughter, have
their day upon the stage of life.
Into the dreamy quiet of a South-
ern plantation the Lucky Jade
brings mystery and romance. We
shall see the present and the fu-
ture, but first we must see the
past.” On ithe magic carpet of
fancy we find ourselves in darkest
Africa, a century ago, in the tem-
ple of the Lucky Jade, as a fitting
prologue to the story.
The central interest of the plot
is this piece of jade (as might be
Inferred by the title) und its con-
nection with life on a modern Vir-
ginia plantation.
The cnaracterlzations that have
been decided upon are as follows:

Kingsville is tied for first place
in the race for District Champion-
ship witli Corpus Christ!, both
teams having an average of 1000
per cent. Kingsville has played
two games and won both of them.
Kingsville will probably play Cor-
pus for the District Championship
on November 16 when Kingsville
travels to Corpus to play them for
the last conference game of the
season.
Friday, Nov. 9th, Kingsville
plays Robstown at the A. & I. field.
This will probably be the best
game played in Kingsville this sea-
son |by either the college or the
high school.

century for women gardeners.
Friends, stooges, and all the rest
of you battle axes lend us your
ears, or you may keep them if you
like, it’s all a matter of speech to
us. We are dawning upon a new
year und we plan to make it full of
success. "Scrub" Jester seems to ]
be attempting the rounds this year.
Football men come first. Oh ;
Damon — you big, bad man.
Ruth Campbell, the Brecken-
ridge flash, seems to be giving the
boys a chase. She and J. V. (that
dreat big college man) didn’t seem
to get along so well. — Two beam-
ing young loves are blooming
around the campus this autumn.
Smokey’s sister, one of our prom-
ising young fish, is giving unother
Slime the eyes.
Tommy Ferguson puts In an ad
this week. He wants to learn to
dance so he can’ make all the ones
that are given here. He is seeking
an instructor. All the ladies (?)
will please form on the left, don’t
push. — We still have our old fav-
orites, Bryant and “Lazy” Hunter.
—Our new but not old, Hooker and
Jo. — We seem to hear blondes
like brunettes and brunettes like
blondes, but when we see two red
heads try for each other and suc-
ceed, they deserve the cake. May-
be Red Lehmann and Fred could
help you out on the icing. 1— We
would like to advise Martha Rose
to go into the business of a pro-
phet because so far her hunches as
to Damon Smith have been very
true.
Capen Simons seems to bring
back the memories of the good old
days with his blushes. Don’t take it
to heart, Cakie. You can blush all
you want to if you keep up the
good football. — From what we
hear Kodaking has become the
favorite sport of many high school
students. — iWe want to compli-
ment Bud DeMauri, one of our
exes, on his excellent taste in girls.
If certain girls rate the college
paper, they certainly ought to get
in the High School Sand-pile. — A
new couple has been gracing our
campus. — introducing Nina Or-

want to hand it to Jack Conner and

Mr. Hibler says that nowadays
about the only line a girl draws is

Edna to go in for washing because
her line* all ready have room for
a two week'* Job. — Nuckols aaya

The Brownsville game turned
; out to be a rather Interesting one.
Our pep squad was one to be proud
of with their time and perfect rhy-
| thm. if they can yell and show
their spirit with the coming games
as they did the last one, we will
have plenty of pep back of our
fighting. The open house held after
the game was over at the popular
Bertmann hangout which was full
to the brim with the representation
of Brownsville, Bishop, Alice, and
neighboring towns interested in
our game.
J. R. was seen in the company
of Mildred King Saturday and Sun-
day night. Who is slipping?
Clementine Reader, with her as-
sociates, Mary Clyde Cofield and
Helen Steffins, were at open house
with their vim and vigor. One was
missed in the group. Where was
the celebrated Gladys Majors? She
was missed by one and all.
Calloway and “Hooker” played a
hard game Saturday night with the
other members of the team. They
were raring to go. “Hook” said he
hadn’t scored a touchdown for the
deah old Alma Mater in years, so
he was given the chance Saturday
night and proved to be the hero.
Hibler was preaching during the
half to the team so hard about "the
old High School spirit” that he for-
got to let the boys run through the
line when the pep squad saluted.
The girls were left holding the
bag if not their hands in position
waiting for them to follow through.
