L. SHEPPARD, JR.) Brownsville and Valley sportsmen are teeing their first flog races and like them to such an extent that at leat,t 500 braved the chilling winds Friday night to follow the hounds as they made their second appearance on the Santa Cruz Kennel Club dog track. There's a real thrill in the “call of the hounds” and the crowds are be ginning to go wild with enthusiasm. Each dog has his quota of followers who attempt to render all possible human aid by screaming themselves hoarse. Jack Cole and his 12 piece Santa Cruz Kennel Club band add a pleas ing touch to the general spirit of carnival. This band is probably one of the finest in the Valley and the scores they play have been especially selected by Cole for their suitability. Rousing marches predominate and as they are played the entire coterie of spectators immediately seem to be come “bon vivant.” The dogs are not appealing to the men only. The women have taken to the sport and seem to hold their own admirably for a place of vantage along the rail. Many use the big grandstand that fronts the “stretch” but the majority seem to prefer hanging on the rail where they can get a little nearer the hound they are backing. As a feature of the opening night races Thursday. Mrs. W. E. Tobey presented an immense silver loving cup to H. L. Ragley, owner of “Buster Meadows’* winner of the inaugural cup race. Mrs. Tobey is the wife of W. E. Tobey, general manager of the track. The cup stood about three feet high and was beautifully engraved. The presentation was made in the judges stand directly in front of the grand stand. The short program was decidedly impressive.

CHICAGO TEAM (Continued from page one.) the score was 12 to 0 for Browns ville. DePaul received tho kickoff and after a series of line plays in which small gains were made they took to the aerial route for a 15-yard gain for their first down of tht game. Tnc Eagles began tearing in and break ing up attempts to complete passes and held the visitors for downs, forcing them to kick to safety. The locals were making gain after gain and the ball was nearing the goal lire as the first half ended. Opening the second half with grim determination which they showed from the start, the Eagles displayed everything a good football team does, passing, runing and kicking a field goal. Weller, E rnhnrt twice planted their cleats behind the enemy goal line. Weller showed the large gathering just how good his “educated’ toe was wheii he booted a field goal from the 18-yard line, to run the score up to 36. The game was witnessed by the largest and most colorful gathering ever seen on a south Texas gridiron field. Three bands furnished music during and between tho halves, and a neat demonstration was given by the Brownsville American legion Drum and Bugle Corps before the start of the game and between halves. The pep squad in between halves marched on the field and put on their skit, and as they were circling the field marched around the visit ing gridders in the lower part of the stadium and gave a cheer for De Paul. Tucker Field was fittingly dedi cated, as Harbert Davenport, mem ber of the local school board, re viewed the loyal work of the late S. C. Tucker, in whose honor the field is named and who for fifteen years or more was one of the most earnest workers on the Brownsville school board. Supt. G. W. Gotkc of the Browns ville schools preceded Mr. *avcnport and in a few well chosen words spoke of the untiring efforts of Mr. Tucker, and pointed out that the stadium as it stand* today is a monument to the late S. C. Tucker. Bringing the Chicago eleven to this city, and the enormity of the occa sion was spoken of by both speakers. Coach Fessenden’s Eagles played the smoothest game of their career yesterday afternoon. They showed something fandom has been want ing to sec—that is with the h-.ll on their own ten yard l!-e and first down—they held and actually threw the DePaul gridsters for losses on each attempt to pass or run with the hall. And after doing this magnifi cent piece of work, yourg Weller harked up behind his own goal line and sent the hall in a spiral down the field for fifty yards to safety. After this flurry the Eagles began a steady tramp, tramp to the enemy goal line, passing, -unning and spinning through the line. DePaul put up a gams scrap, hut a hopeless one. They suffered, as a resume of the game shows that Coach McGovern used every man on his squad, twenty-four in all. Some of the players were carried from the field on the arms of t’ :r mates, be ing rendered hors de combat when coming in contact with their lighter opponents. The team played as it ’ as this whole season, in a machine-like fashion. Not a man wai injured ard as for that matter, they were as fresh at the finish as at the start, (barging, chaigiug, always charging, the Eagle forward completely out played the visiting wall. Opening up big holes. Captain O’Bryan at cen ter, Crowe and Sylvester at ends, Monsees and Bruns at guard ana Bennett and Cortez at tackles, the big boys from Chicago were no match for these tearing, ripping, Fessenden-coached gridsters. DePaul passers were rushed off their feet, and their end runs were discounted by Crowe and Sylvester, and ( abler, Weller, Barnhart and Newman covered each man for passes and intercepted many. During the game John Burns intercepted a pass and showed his heels to more than one of the visitors, being downed by the safety man near the goal line. The DePaul eleven hit the locals and hit them hard, and they present ed several good players, especially was the playirg of' Fullback McWil liams good. The big baeli in re turning punts was hard to stoy. Kemp at quarter was put off the field near the end of the second quarter by Referee Clark for swear ing. and soon after showed his tem per by making a feeble attempt to jump on the referee. Mr. Clark merely smiled at the hot-headed player. The game dragged at times due to time being taken out by the visi tors, but it was otherwise a good and hard-fought contest, and the De Paul roach and many of his players left the field in high praise of the local eleven. The day was ideal for football, and both teams were in fine fettle as the whistle blew to start at three o’clock. The storting lineups: DePaul (0| Brownsville (36) Roche . Crowe Left End Schildgren .

California Gets Set For Tornado _ PASADENA. Cal., Dec. 22.—— Apparently realizing that it will take more than a stout defense to beat the Golden Tornado of Georgia Tech, Coach Price of California, has start ed to strengthen the Bears’ offense for the clash at the Rose bowl here New Years Day. The California mentor got the bol stering up process under way during a workout of mre than two hours yesterday shortly after the Bear team arived from the north.

It appears as though Young Strib ling Ns ill battle Taulino Uzcudun. Basque woodchopper, and not Shar key. at Miami Beach, Fla., early next The controversy between Rickard and Sharkey’s handlera started when newspapers got telegrams purport ing to come from Sharkey R.»d charging among other things th*-«t Rickard was managing Stribling Paulino and Jack Sharkey. Further, the telegram said that Sharkey would refuse to fight Stribling in the Georgian’s own country. Jimmy Johnston, one-time mana ger of Sharkey, shut off the heat when he admitted he had sent the telegrams and signed Sharkey’s name to them. Then Johnny Buckley, Sharkey’a manager, entered the arena with a new ret of charges which he leveled against Tex from Boston. He charg ed Rickard had attempted to buy Sharkey's contract for $60,000 last summer; that he saw Rickard given Walter Friedman the money to pur ihase an interest in Knute Hansen, the Dane, and wound up by saying the promoter was luring Sharkey isto the south for the match again it Stribling so that the Boston sailor would be “knocked off.” After denying all these accusa tions, Tex added he was “through fooling with Sharkey,” and that Buckley’s fear if losing the decision to Stribling was tacit admission thit he did not think the sailor could conquer the husky Georgian.

Canadian, in one of Tex Rickard's "tuning up” bouts which were so often supposed to produce logical opponents. Hee ney surprised the wise boys by out pointing Delaney, rated a smart box er, a faster hitter and a more expe rienced ring general. The bout went 15 rounds and it was partly Kee ney's endurance and ability to check Delaney’s punches over that period that wni the British subject his bout with Gene Tunney. Tex Rickard topped off the month by announcing on the last day of it that Keeney had been given the plum sought by Jack Delaney, Paolino l’z cudun and a flock of others. Risko’s frienda were extremely peeved in view of the fact that in the middle of the month he had taken on Jack Sharkey and outpointed him in a 15 round go.
