permitted the Reds to cavort off
with a 5 to 4 decision in Cincinnati,
leaving the Bruins in need of just
14 victories to win even if the Buc

Two Valley youths wuil fight it
out this afternoon in San Antonio
over the Willow Springs links to
determine who shall go to the fmals
in the junior state tournament.
These boys are Robert Champion of
Brownsville and Vernon Dixon of
Edinburg Regardless of who wins,
the Valley will be represented in
the finals That's something for
our younger generation to crow
about.
• • •
Naturally enough. Brownsville
fans are pulling for Robert to come
through. He is a quiet, well-man
nered chap who has very little to
say. His slight frame is deceptive,
for he is full of wirey strength
which he controls remarkably well.
He is inclined to be a bit timid. This
was believed to be a point against
him when he got into a group of
strangers in San Antonio. But evi
dently not. as he has pulled through
in fine style.
Either Vernon or Robert will meet
the winner of the Clifford Henne
Charles Grumbles match in the fi
nal event. Henne is of New Braun
fels: Grumbles of San Antonio.
Valley football coaches and offi
cials will meet next Tuesdky night
at Harlingen for the purpose of
forming schedules and outlining the
coming season. The various offi
c?;ls will get together for the first
time—old acquaintances renewed
and new* ones made.
• • •
There Is now a movement on foot
on institute a standard set of sig
nals for officials that will do much
to aid the fan in understanding the
came. Too frequently penalties are
made which the boys in the bleach
ers do not comprehend. They can
not see all the holding, off sides,
slugging, etc. A system of hand
signals has been devised for the of
ficials that would clearly indicate
the offender and the offense It is
explained and illustrated elsewhere
in The Herald today. We hope that
the fathering at Harlingen will see
fit to adopt this system.
The Brownsville Eagles indulged
in their first serimmace Wednes
day. With practically all of the
first, string men on hand, things
perked up considerable as the
squads moved out of the realm of
theory into that of the actual The
team clicked off smoothly, oiled bv
the smartness of Quarterback ’ Bov"
Newman It appears that the Eagles
will have the same machine like
precision with added driving power
this year. Bill Cabler furnished
Coach Fessenden with a little thrill
Wednesday. Fessenden has been
drilling Cabler at the art of spin
ning off tacklrrs for some time Bill
cot the knack of it and used it ef
fectively in broken field runs.

Cyril Tolley Rated Favor
ite With Elimination of
Georgia Peach
PEBBLE BEACH. Calif., Sept. 5—
Like the boxer who left his
| punch in the gymnasium, it now
seems the great Bobby Jones, after
coming all the way across the Rock
ies to show the boys out here how
he does it, laft his par-cracking
game in the practice rounds. Un
questionably below his best form.
Jones was eliminated yesterday in
the first round of the national ama
teur golf championship for the first
time in his career as the 18-hole
“jinx matches” raised havoc with
the first tournament ever held in
i thp far VMMet
i Johnny Goodman. 20-year-old
Omaha. Nebraska, star, accomplished
: the downfall of the national open
king and four-time amateur title
holder. by the narrow margin of one
up in a match decided on the home
hole, but actually tossed away by
the defending champion on the 14th.
Goodman, in turn, was knocked out
of the tournament in the second
round by another giant killer, 18
year-old William Lawson Little, Jr.,
of San Francisco. But for the day.
at least, the Cornhusker enjoyed the
rare thrill of fairly beating the
world's most renowned exponent of
the royal and ancient game.
The outcome of the hectic first
two rounds of match play left eight
players—three from the far west,
three from the ast. one each from
the mid-west and England, to bat
tle it out today in the 36-hole quar
ter finals. In this free-for-all scram
ble for the crown lost by Jones,
these contestants were paired today
as follows:
Cyril Tolley. British champion, vs.
Dr. O. F. Willing. Portland. Ore.;
Jess Sweetser. New York; Chand
ler Egan of Medford. Ore.; George
Voigt. New’ York. vs.. Harrison John

CABLER DOES
NEAT SPINNING
Huskies In Line For Second
String Make It Tough
On Veterans
Actual scrimmage, featured by a
tackle-shaking spin developed by
Halfback Bill Cabler. was begun in
the camp of the Brownsville high
school Eagles Wednesday afternoon
when four full elevens were out in
uniform. The tentative first string
outfit lined up as follows: Ends.
Sylvester and Crowe; guards. Dav
enport and Summers; tackles. Cor
tez and Bennett; center. O'Bryan;
fullback. Barnhart; halfbacks. Cab
ler and Saipano; quarterback. New
man.
This combination clicked off into
machine -like play almost as
smoothly as did the Eagle cham
pionship eleven of last year, de
spite the fact that It was its first
chance at flesh aod bone oppsitou.
On the first play of the season.
Samano shot a pass to Crowe good
for 15 yards. Barnhart then slash
ed off tackle for five yards and
Newman followed, twisting and
squirming his way through the line
for eight yards. The first string
Eagles were flashing good form al
though they found the second ctriiTfe
forward wall was something not to
be sneezed at.
Watch Him Go
Cabler's new spinning twist fur
nished the sensation for the day.
Some 25 yards from the goal line,
the pigskin was handed back to him
at his half post. With the field
well messed and littred up with
tacklers awaiting him. Bill ploughed
through the line. He had barely
cleared the line of scrimmage until
a tackier hit him. A quick, vigorous
spin and the would-be tackier

his way. This thing was re-actcl
