Scorpion Schedule
The work of Barnhart. Newman
and O'Bryan stood out last year.
They are expected to tum in excel
'ent work again this season. Barn
hart was high scorer of the Valley.
The Junior college squad will re
port for practice probably week af
ter next. Fessenden announced. It
’s planned to have a better rounded
schedule for the collegians this year
than ever before.
Games already have been signed
with the Edinburg Junior College
Broncs, The Kingsville Javelinas and
the Victoria junior college. More
games are being sought. The Scor
pion squad will be in charge of Cal
vin Surtees, new member of the
coaching staff. Sutrees was star cap
tain of the St. Mary’s team in San
Antonio last season.
Fessenden, who will direct all foot
ball work in the local school system,
probably will devote the major por
tion of his time to the Eagles. “Ray
mond “Soc” Plato also will aid with
the football muaris.
Class B Tram
Efforts are now being made to
have Brownsville enter a class “B"
team Into the Valley scramble. A
•rhedule Is now In th® process of

San Antonio
(Special to The Herald)
AUSTIN, Aug. 24—Bobby Cannon,
widely known coach, baseball play
er and former University of Texas
star, will coach the Mission High
School Eagles during the coming
season, it has been announced by
Supt. Sid Harding following accep
tance of Coach Kellam's resigna
tion.. Kellam will handle the
Brackemldge (San Antonio) high
squad tills year.
Cannon has piled up an enviable
record as a coach and athlete. He
was a star performer on Uncle
Billy's Disch’s nines at the U. of
T. and since las been coaching and
playing ball. Cannon is considered
one of the best performers turned
out by Disch.
At Del Rio 2 Years
He has coached Del Rio high
teams for two years, was head coach
at Brackenridge high for four years,
and also has coached at Peacock
Military academy (San Antonio) for
two years.
During the past year the ruddy
faced athlete aided in winnnig a
baseball pennan for Del Rio.
For the past several seasons. Can
non has been an assistant to Coach
E. J. (Doc) Stewart’s in a football
camp at Kerr 'ille. At present he is
at the Knute Rockne coaching
sclrool in Dallas.
Until the recent upset in the U. of
T. athletic circles, Cannon was
scheduled to coach the Shorthorns
but was droppec for lack of funds
due to short -jpropriations. Can
non's acceptance of the post at
Mission is of unusual Importance.
He is certain to turn out a pennant
contender.
Cannon will take up his duties in
Mission September 2.

THEY’RE OFF
Two weeks ago football seemed
remote—a glamorous subject
fraught with conjecture, but never
theless still ’way over the hill.
Along with the rest of the fans, we
Jerked our head out of the box
scores this week to avidly scan re
ports of grid squads turning out for
practice. The pre-season “wonders”
are being heralded— optimism is
rife. The slate is clean and every
squad has an even break. Last
season's record is forgotten and
everyone has a new lease on life.
• • •
What brought us up short on our
haunches was the return Friday of
Coaches Douglas Fessenden and
Raymond Plato, and Fessenden’s
announcement that the Eagle squad
would hold its first practice session
at 4 p. m. Monday at Tucker field.
These events brought the football
situation to a head in a jiffy. From
a dead calm, the football season
leaped into instant reality. Some
how baseball lost its appeal. What
if Babe did dump another homer ir.
the bleachers- What if Artless Art
Shires is in another row. Who cares
if Hack Wilson .rovned Pete Dono
hue. T. C. TJ.’s ancient darling?
What we want • know is how Dan
Barnhart’s wrist operation turned
out. If “Boy” Newman can still
knife his way through that line?
If “Tio” Samano will perform in
the line, or at his old post in the
backfield?
i t •
Calvin Surtees, latest addition to
the coaching staff, is in town and
‘Red’’ Irvine, athletic chieftain of
the entire system, is due back about
September 1. The Eagles are
champing on the hit, or whatever
it is eagles do to express impatience
to feel the spring of the turf un
der their cleated feet. They are a
bit irked because H rlingen Jumped
the gun on them by a few days.
“Dutch” Rektorik already has his
squad out and is pouring it on in
an effort to have the Cardinals in
fettle for the first game of the
season with the Eagles.
• • •
A Natural, No Less
This game i^oks like a “natural."
Harlingen i- the only Valley team
to draw a game with the Eagles
since their entry inti class "A"
competition. While the Valley as a
whole was proud of t Eagles' rec
ord last year, there is a rait in
human nature that likes to see the
underdog win. That’s why the
moom pitchur hero is a po’ boy.
It would be a decided feather in
the Cards' bonnet if they were to
pluck the pin feathers from the
Eagles’ tail.
• • •
There is a sentiment in the Val
ley that Brownsville became bit
uppish after ne good season; that
they should have remained in class
“B.” Harlingen fans point ~ut that
the Red Birds did not seek a higher
classification after their great sea
son several yc back. There are
many angles to the question which
will serve to center interest on this
early season contest.
• • •
The Cardinals probably will point
for It. Brownsville can hardly af
ford to do so as she has class “A"
game scheduled shortly afterward.
Teams put on a razor edge for early
tussles usually sui.er a relapse as
the season rolls along. All of which
adds zest to th contest and assures
fans of an excellent pigskin eye
opener,
• • •
Cannon at Mission
Here’s another break. Bobby
Cannon himself, none other, will
coach the Mission Eagles. Supt. Sid
Hardin has got the ruddy faced
former University of Texas star’s
name on the dottcJ line following
Coach Kellam s resignation recent
ly. Kellam will take charge of the
Brackenrldge (San Antonio) high
squad.
• • •
It was through fortunate circum
stances that Supterintendent Har
din was able lo sign Cannon. The
new Valley coach was scheduled to
handle the University of Texas
Shorthorn squad this season, but
due to lack of appropriations, the
position was abolished. Cannon is
considered one of the best baseball
players turned out by Uncle Billy
Dlsch. He has coached Del Rio two
years. Brackenrldge four years and
the Peacock military academy (San
Antonio) two years.
• • •
Bobby may be long on baseball,
but then on the other hand he’s
not short on fcotball, either. For
the past several years he has as
sisted E. J. (Doleful Doc) Stewart’s
football camp at Kerrville. \t pres
ent he Is at the Knute Rockne
coaching school at Dallas. His ac
quisition makes its axiomatic that
the Mission Ea ies will be decidedly
In the running for the Valley title.

Cubs Win As Hack Wilson
Ties Klein and Ruth
For Home Run Lead
The Cubs approached the end of
their final eastern lnvastion yester
day by blasting another victory from
the Phillies, this time with an artis
tic home run barrage In the park
which really gave birth to the mod
ern four-base epidemic. Hack Wil
son’s thirty-third, with two on In
the sixth. Rogers Hornsby's twenty
eighth. with one on in the seventh
and Zach Taylor's first, with the
bases empty In the eighth, enabled
the Cubs to win. 6 to 1, and. inci
dentally, add half a game to their
lead.
Wilson's drive not only smashed a
scoreless tie and gave the Cubs
their ultimate winning edge, but
also lifted the stocky Chicago out
fielder Into a tie with Babe Ruth
and Chuck Klein for the inter
league home run leadership.
Bob Smith hurled the Braves to a
5 to 2 victory over the Cardinals at
Boston yesterdav. despite a home
run by his pitching rival. Jess
Haines. Moisture in the box office
again caused the Giants and the
Robins to decide upon a day of Idle
ness.
Having run a losing streak to
three straight games, a season's
record for their club, -the Athletics
added another to their string yes
terday Just to prove there was no
nuke about it. Hal McKain. right
hander. came to the front with a
five-hit game as the White 8ox

enough to win. 3 to 1.
