The first string backs were able to advance the ball at ease with the work of “Big Dan' Barnhart, full back. standing out. The Eagle for ward wall smothered all attempts of the second string crew to ad vance the ball. The second string backs, led by Placido Gonzales, were seldom able to get up to the scrimmage. Coach Douglas Fessenden was forced to change his backfield around a bit after Rodolfo Samano. 180 pound half, complained of a pain in his side. He was excused for the afternoon. Perez Doe* Well Perez continued to work at cen ter and his play at that post is showing steady improvement. Last season he held down a half posi tion By shifting Perez to center, the Engles get a veteran line ail the vsiy Inrough with one exception BJl Summers, one of the most promising members of the squad, has had little actual competition although he is working like an old timer. The way the squad lined up Mon day was: Ends. Crowe and Sylves ter; tackles, Cortez and Bennett; guards, Summers and O'Bryan; center, Perez; fullback, Barnhart; quarterback, Newman; halves, Cabler. Gonzales. Todd. Several I changes were made during the scrimmage. The practice got under way with John iLeche) Sylvester booting a few over the bars from placement; Barnhart. Cabler and D&venpoit punting and the remainder of the squad handling passes from the ac curate mits of Morris Pipkin. Jun ior college player. Pipkin spun the pigskin into the galloping players’ hands with ease and precision. The first string also was practiced on the flying wedge and they re-J celved the ball several times, re-j turning it against the second squad. This procedure was reversed and the Eagles broke up the return play of their opponents from the kick off. After a short parade up and; down the field drilling plays, the actual scrimmage was begun. The Eagle backs stepped away for sev eral long gains. On the first play a pass good lor 20 yards was completed. Newman hit the line for five yards. Barn hart slashed his way 20 yards Cabler shook loose the tacklers and sped 50 yards before being downed An offense was formed for the second string but they were unable to do much with the Eagles strong forward wall.

G. Willmrf,, Ph. G., Prop. > ► ► Sports Clk&fe «*, — With — Hal Eustace The high school Eagles emerged from their hardest workout of the season Monday with little or no damage done. The huskies scrim maged with th esecond squad, dis playing good work both on the part of the backs and the line. The line halted the second stringers to their shoes. Their backs seldom were able to get past the line of scrim mage “Big Dan" Barnhart dis ported himself to fine style at his post of fullback. • • • The first string backfield was I shaken up a bit due to the absence of Rodolfo Samano. He complained of a pain in his side early to the scrimmage and was released for the afternoon. The combination, of Barnhart. Newman. Cabler and Todd or Gonzales clicked off well Monday. There is still a possibility of Carroll Crowe’s being taken from end and given a half poet. This would leave a gap in the line, how ever. • • t Fessenden is still drilling the squad in fyndamentals. He gives them blocking and tackling. This is where high school teams are made and lost. A team that is not so smart but knows its blocking and tackling will eventually wear down its opponents. Walter (Club) Washington, is bearing down hard in the practice and his work has begun to show up. He seems to be in good condition and is a willing worker. Walter made several good plays Monday. On one play Cabler got away from the entire fielcLand seemed destined to make the goal line. Washington ran him out to the side line, how ever. and nailed him with a pretty tackle. Cabler made about 60 yards on the play. • • • The Junior College eleven will re port to Coach Calvin Surtees at 3 p. m Wednesday. All in all. the coaching staff and the fans are op timistic toward the coming season The Scorpion eleven will probably be formed around Morris Pipkin transfer from S. M. U. He is one of the prettiest passers seen in ac tion here in some time. Pipkin plays either quarterback or end. He formerly starred at Main Avenue. A number of Valley high school grid ders will swell the squad. Martin of El Jardin was out Monday watch ing practice. He said he intended to go out for the college squad. Martin now weighs 170. He played for the Comets at 150 last year. • • • I Jimmy George is Brownsville's golfing champion, following his vic tory Sunday over A. K. Black. George nosed out Black three and two. Jimmy is one of t'nose natural athletes. Anything he does, he does well. For instances.

Winning 13 out of thetr last 15 games, they *romped on the Harlingen Red Ants twice Sunday. The latest achievement was a three straight win series over the Kingsville Cubs. The Browns ville Tigers are now seeking a game with the Pents. Valley people seem to be taking! | more and more to horse shows. | There was a fair gathering cm hand Sunday afternoon and evening at the show conducted at Fort Brown. Especially did they seem to gather for the evening event. Girls and i women were in evidence and one event was held for members of their sex. • • • Fort Brown authorities will probe ably see their way clear to holding i other shows in the evening.

Wednes day afternoon, it has been an nounced by Coach Calvin Surtees. This is Surtees' first year here and he does not know what will comprise his squad. He formerly starred at high school and St. Mary’s in San Antonio. It now seems probable that the Scorpion; will have a good eleven. New boys are coming in all the time. Several Valley high school stars of last year have announced that they will be out for the team. The Scorpion eleven will probably be built up around Morris Pipkin, transfer. Pipkin formerly starred and was captain at Main Avenue, San Antonio. Last season he played on the S. M. U. frosh team. SPORTSHOLD WINNING LUCK Shreveport Team Climbs Within Game and Half Of Spudders* Lead Moisture pervaded Athletic Park at Wichita Palls yesterday, and Jim Galloway's Spudders were forced to twiddle their thumbs while the Shreveport Sports climbed to within a game and one half of the league pinnacle. Com ing at any other time, rain prob ably would not have been unwel - come at Spudderville. but it scarce ly can benefit anything but crops Just now. The Sports continued at their tremendous clip, slugging out a third straight victory over the Ex porters, 9 to 6. The rush of Phe lans men is pumping interest into a race which a few days ago ap peared to be dead on its feet. With si:: days to go, the Louisiana nine still has an excellent chance to overhaul the leaders. Six runs off Tink Riviere in the first two innings enabled the Sports to breeze through easily, although they continued pecking away at Estill later on. Whelan led the as sault with two doubles and a single. Morrell was not exactly a puzzle to the Shippers,, but they could not overcome the early deficit. In the only other game, the Steers gained a close verdict over Houston, 4 to 3. after the Buffs had staged a thrilling ninth inning rally. Whitey Glazner, although rapped soundly, had the Bisons blanked until the closing period, when they piled into him hard. A homer by Roy Moore brought in ! two of the runs. A spectaculai shoe-string catch by Randy Moore i prevented the Buffs tying the score. STAKDIN =-OF THE CLUBS^—* TEXAS LEAGUE Monday’s Results Dallas 4. Houston 3. Shreveport 9. Beaumont 6.

Uniforms were distributed yes terday. and the seven conference coaches were prepared to bear down from the start. All of the squads will be put through two hard work outs each day until the middle of next week, when school opens. The Southern Methodist u n i v e r sity Mustangs will take their second workout after dark in the glare of flood lights at Ownby stadium. No other school is similarly equipped. Many candidates have been working out privately for several weeks, and it will not be necessary for the mentors, to dwell over long on getting their squads in condi tion. Coach Morley Jennings of Baylor and Coach Morrison of 3 M. U. both face opening games September 21. so it will be neces sary for them to start whipping their machines together almost from the first day. As actual training began, the Baylor Bears still ranked as out standing favorites to go through to the championship. Tilden and Hunter In Third Singles FOREST HILLS. N. Y..
