\ BROWNSVILLE FORMS SCHOOL ATHLETIC ADVISORY BOARD
- 3
Close Cooperation
Between Teams and
Public Is Assured
t Answering the need for a definite,
connection between Brownsville and
its school athletic system, an Ath
letic Advisory Board composed of
representative citizens has been or
ganized. The board is composed of
G. W. Gotke. superintendent of the
public schools; S A. Caldwell, dean
of the Junior college; Ben Proctor.

| ‘JFORUM |
There will be plenty of fight at
tractions this week. Donna open
air arena Monday night with Pro
moter Bob Connor the host. Tues
day night Brownsville. Tex Bec
erril will present a show at the Ft.
Brown skating rink.
• • •
There are four fight promoters
111 the Valley. Two of them are
distinctly of the. "angel” type.
Promoting is just a hobby with
AL He’d be better off financially
If he would quit. His own seat
cost him more than $250 at one
of his recent fights. Tex Bererril
is another of the "angels.”
• • •
The financial return on Valley
fights is little if any and the threat
of & loss always looms. All this in
addition to the worry of match
making, jockeying the prtma donas
along, getting the proper advertis
ing. dishing out cigars to sports
wrriters, etc. It's a thankless game.
• a a
The fight game has arrived in
the Valley, however, in so far as
the class of boys seeking bouts
here. David Velasco, a beautiful
boxer who packs a wallop, has
indicated willingness to perform
in the Valley. Velasco, now in
Mexico City, wears the Mexican
tit!e belt. He is generally arredit
ed with being one of the best
boys ever to perform in the
' Southwestern portion of the
United States. Diego Acuna also
is seeking bouts here.

Have you seen "Red Irvine's new
car? Get out the old smoked Glass

in the Brownsville public school
system is planning on attending
State University during the summer

the supervision of Ben Procter

head of the Rotary club; Travis
Jennings, member of the Kiwams
club; Geo. Desha, member of the
Lions club: John Gregg, finance:
and J. W. »Red> Irvine, director of
athletics.
Now that Brownsville high school
is entering into class “A” competi
tion, it was felt that closer coopera
tion between the citizens and the
schools was necessary. In the past
| school atuhorities had no way of
finding out what the city really
wanted in the way of athletics.
Only by sounding out a large group
of citizens —and this did not neces
sarily give an accurate check—
were they able to arrive at conclu
sions as to whether this game or
that game would be appreciated by
local fans.
In Touch With Public
Through this new body the school
athletic ssvtem will be in touch
with the sentiment of the general
public on all questions, it is be
lieved. Gotke and Caldwell can
sound out the schools. Proctor. Jen
nings and Desha the civic clubs, and
Gregg the financial interests.
Each of these men on this body
have access to a large field and con
sequently it is believed that anv ad
vice that they may offer will be
repreesntative of the city’s wants.
The board will act only In an advis
ory capacity, however, and its rul
ings are not mandatory but are ex
pected to be followed as closely as
possible.
Irvine Chairman
The board has elected the follow
ing officers: Irvine, chairman; Jen
nings. secrettary: and Gregg, treas
urer. The group is now in opera
tion. having been organized last
Friday at a luncheon at the El Jar
din hotel.
I “We can now know what the city
wants," Irvine states. “I do not be
lieve the organization of this board
could have come at a better time
lust when we are preoaring to step
into class ‘A’ competition.”
Consider Two Teams
Among matters expected to be
considered by the board In the near
future is that, of playing two high
school football schedules, a class
“A" and class "B.” The “B" team
would concentrate on the Valley
while the “A” would play out the
regular schedule already outlined.
In this connection it is pointed out
that there was a squad of 50 hoys
out for football soring training. This
souad is amply large for two com
plete elevens.
Another matter is that of a com
Dlete college schedule for the Jun
ior college eleven.
“All in all. this new move is be
ing made for the purpose of tieing
in the point of view of the schools
with that of the city ,” Irvine states
MANYTOSEE
DONNA FIGHT
fSpecal to The Herald)
DONNA. May 18 —Providing all
things are right, that is. speaking
of the weather gods, a record crowd
will assemble here Monday night in
Donna's open air arena to see what
Promoter Bob Connor terms as the
best fight card the Rir Grande Val
ley has had in many moons The
fireworks will begin promptly at
8:30 p. m
A ten-round main eevnt is the
card headliner with two semi-final
eight-rounders A battle royal with
five Mexicans will be included on
the program.
San Antonio, the city where many
a good fighter has exhibited his
wares, has produced a couple of neat
boxers in the persons of Brooks
Hooper and Kid Lopez, who will
await their time for an appearance
in Connor s resin ring. These two
gentlemen will go into the ropes for
the puropse of slinging their fists
for ten rounds. As anything is lia
ble to happed in a boxing match
though, one of the boys may not be
able to stick it out due to a heavy
attack by the other. They will nut
uo a good fight, however, since Bob
has declared that they must, and
when he says that he means It.
Hooper is the game little Alamo
city lad who fought Battling Shaw
to a draw three weeks ato in a fis
tic encounter at Mercedes. He is
well known in thes® parts and will
have many fans giving him the
hand when he steps on the canvas
Monday ni~ht
Now for a semi-final bout Pro
moter ‘ Cap’’ Connor has engaged a
couple of men who will be what
manv would sav. the headlin® fight
of the ni®ht. Mr Frankie Cline vs.
Cowbov Brooks that's it. Not so
very lone ago these two ge^tlomn
eot together in what Is called a
boxine match and when so many
minutes had passed the boy whose
name suggests "horses and cows and
the wid® ooen spaces** was pro
noimc*d winner becaxise of a foxil
♦bat Franki® b*d committed Thi«
of cop me b”rt Fraokie's feelings and
mad® him have a desire to meet the
Cowbov again So don't think th's
won't be a battle. The nair is sched
uled to go eight roifnds
Kid Olivares, nr id® of East Donna
y'i shak® hands with Youne Saene
cf Mercedes to ooen an eieht-roimd
preliminary It is said of these two
bovs that thev carrv something in
♦heir elo’-es Yes. fts*s. B*»t then*
<s somethin® beh'nd thos* fists. A
mleTxtv wahon When two get to
gether and it is said of both of
them that they carrv miahtv wil
low. there is something to be ex
pected. That's the reason "Cap”
Connor is expecting something from
th*se leather gloved boys of the
ring.
The performance begins promptly
I at 8:30.
