The first string backs were able to advance the ball at ease with the work of “Big Dan" Barnhart, full back. standing cut The Eagle for ward wall smothered all attempts of the second string crew to ad vance the ball. The second string hacks, led by Placido Gonzales, were seldom able to get up to the scrimmage Coach Douglas Fessenden was forced to change his backfieM around a bit after Rodolfo Samanc. 180 pound half, complained of a pain in his side. He was excused for the afternoon. Perez Does 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 all the w%> 'hrough with one exception RJl 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 changes were made during the scrimmage. The practice got under way with John (Leehe) Sylvester booting a few over the bars from placement; Barnhart. Cabler and Davenport punting and the remainder of the squad handling passes from the ac curate mits of Morris Pipkin. Jun-1 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 ceived the ball several times, re turning it against the second squad. This procedure was reversed and i 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 for 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 vas formed for the second string but they were unable to do much with the Eagles' strong forward wall.

And All || | Valley Leading Dealers t Sp©ir(t§ CJKafts M — 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 in their shoes. Their backs seldom were able to get past the line of scrim mage “Big Dan” Barnhart dis ported himself in fine style at his post of fullback. • • # The first string backfield was shaken up a bit due to the absence of Rodolfo Samano. He complained of a pain in his side early in the scrimmage and was released for the afternoon. The combination of Barnhart. Newman. Cabler and Todd or Ctonzales clicked off well Monday. There is still a possibility of Carroll Crowe’s being taken from end and given a half post. This would leave a gap in the line, how ever. • • • Fessenden is still drilling the squad in fundamentals. 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 field and 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 50 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 8. 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. • • • 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 those natural athletes. Anything he does, he does well. For instances. Skeet—he’s cm the locals' first team. • • • The San Benito Pentagons are continuing to show the way to Val ley baseball nii.es. Winning 13 out of their 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 on hand Sunday afternoon and evening at the show' conducted at Fort Brown. Especially did they seem to gather for the evening event. Girls and women were in evidence and one event was held for members of their sex. • • • Fort Brown authorities will prob ably see their way clear to holding other shows in the evening. Heat— otm of the chief objections to horse shows—is avoided, and people con fined offices during the day can attend in the evening. • • • Did you know that ’’Dutch’’ Rash er is now working in Dallas? That Hardy Connally is in New Mexico and will go out for the university eleven? That Boy Myer will be out for the fish team at Rice?

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 Scorpions 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 Avenu**, San Antonio. Last season he played on the 8. M. U. frosh team. SPORTS HOLD WINNING LUCK Shreveport Team Climbs Within Game and Half Of Spudders’ Lead Moisture pervaded Athletic Park at Wichita Falls 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 lan's 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.

Morrell was not exactly a puzzie to the Shippers,, but they could not overcome the early deficit. In the only other game, the Steer* 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 spectacular shoe-string catch by Randy Moore prevented the Buffs tying the score.

Sept. 10.—The Texas University Longhorns, 1923 Southwest conference gr i d i r o n champs, and six schools intent upon | succeeding to the throne buckled I down to work today in preparation for what promises to be as thrilling a race as the conference has seen. 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 sunilarly 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.
