MERCEDES. Sept. 18—The Sll
Valley post-season football game
with some outstanding up-state
team, was formally endorsed by the
Valley Coaches’ and Officials’ as
sociation in session here Tuesday
evening, and it was decided to put
the matter before the Valley Cham
ber of Commerce secretaries at
their next session.
The coaches propose to select the
team, coach it and place it on the
field the day of the game. They
would have the Valley secretaries
finance and otherwise arrange for
tho contest. The chamber of com
merce heads have not been ap
proached on the subject, but Ben
Epstein, leader of the movement,
says he believes they will view it
in a favorable light. The publicity
surrounding the game would mean
much to this section, ne said.
Meet With Secretaries
Forrest E. Grove, president of the
roaches’ body, is to name a com
mittee to meet with the secretaries
at their next meeting.
During the past week, the coach
es have approached their superin
tendents on the game, and the ma
jority of them reported that the
school head* were In accord with
the plan.
Bishop Clements, secretary treas
urer, reported that the post- sea
son game would net affect the par
ticipants’ eligibility'. He wired the
interscholastic league headquarter;
for a ruling and this was their an
swer.
Clements also is to furnish a
qualified speaker for the next
meeting to be held in Harlingen
September 24. During the evening,
he also upbraided the •‘tin horn”
gambler. Sheriff Frank Brown of
Cameron county has given Clem
ents assurance that he will aid in
making examples of this type.
Coach “Red” Kitchens read and
Interpreted the new rules.
About 35 coaches and officials
were present.

The Valley Coaches’ and Officials'
association, in session Tuesday eve
ning at Mercedes, decided to carry
the propored all-Valley post-season
grid contest before the next meet
ing of the Valley Chamber of Com
merce secretaries. The coaches had
sounded out their school officials
and found them favorable to the
plan. The association formally
went on record as being in favor
cf the post-season game.
• t t
According to the ideas advanced,
the coaches will tell the secretaries: j
“Here it is—we furnish the team,
and coach—you furnish the finan- I
ces and make arrangements." Of
course, the secretaries have not ;
been sounded out and how the post
season game will fare at their hands
is not known. However, Ben Ep
stein, originator of the plan, de
clares the chambers will see the
matter in a favorable light. He
points to the publicity that would
come to the Valley as a result of
the post-season contest. This in it-1
self, outside of the local interest it
would create, would justify the
proposition, Epstein says.
• • •
President Forrest E. Grove will
appoint a committee of two or three
coaches to go before the secretar- !
ies. It was suggested that this
committee be peifnanent and work!
in conjunction with a committee ol
the secretaries. AU of this looks a
bit hazy and distant In the future, j
but at this time last year the
Brownsville-DePaul game was not
even a pipe dream. The proposi- j
tion is up to Valley secretaries.!
• • »
A wise mo\e was taken by the
coaches in deciding not to seek an
intersectional game until they had
assurance that the Valley was be
hind the move. This was brought i
about by a suggestion from Bishop
Clements, secretary-treasurer. It
would be a bit embarrassing to en
ter into negotiations with a num
ber of teams and then not be able
to carry out one’s own plan. When
the time is ripe, and if the secre
taries sae fit to back the proposi
tion, leading elevens over the state
will be sounded out on coming here
far the post-season game.
* • •
In our opinion, the state cham
pion would hardly consider the
proposition for they would have ev
erything to lose and nothing to
gam. Abilene saw it that way last
year when it was proposed that she
meet the undefeated Brownsville
eleven. But there will be plenty
other good elevens that might want
the trip to the Valley. A strong
runner-up or the class “B" champs
loom as possibilities.
• • *
Jealousy, a root of much evil,;
was approached openly by Coach,
J. D. Foster of Edinburg. Foster
said this would doubtless prevail
when the selections for the All
Valley eleven wile made. He urged !
that the coaches and cities take on
a broader viewpoint and become
more bread-minded on this subject.
The selections would be made by
the coaches association, and all
should abide by this body's deci
sions.

Clements, as he has done in the 1
past, again took a rap at the “tin-.

(Special to The Herald)
RAYMONDVILLE. 8ept. 18. —
With practice having been in pro
gress for more than a week, the
Raymondville high school Bear Cats
with Coach Paul Tanksley at the
helm, are fast rounding into shape
and are giving promise of furnish
ing stiff opposition for Valley teams
later In the season.
Twenty-eight men are reporting
for daily practice sessions and at
the present the principal weakness
seema to be the lack of weight in
the line, but this apparent weakness
Is partly nullified by the fact that
practically ail of the men slated for
line positions are fast and shifty.
The line will be built around
Captain Beatty McCharen, the 165
pound center, who Is rated as one
of the best pivot men in the Valley
He is playing his fourth year and
indications are that this season will
be his best. For the guard posi
tions. Ballard, Bob McCharen and
Cisneros are strong contenders,
with the first two likely to see most
of the service according to present ■,
indications.
Two Good Ends
At the tackle positions Bucy and
Durham -.eem to have the edge but
with Brook crowding them closely
and showing up well in practice,
they will have a hard time holding
their places. In Garcia and Evans
at the end positions. Tanksley has
two ends who are expected to be an
offensive threat as pass receivers
as well as aiding In stopping of
fensive threats. Lee Cook is show
ing up well at this position but he
has not been out for practice long;
enough for his ability to be correct- !
ly measured. The line from end to
end will lately average upwards of
150 pounds in weight.
Behind the line, the Bear Cats
have Shraeder. a veteran of past
seasons at quarterback, and Cook
at fullback. Both of these men are
fast and Cook bids fair to become
one of the best punters in the dis
trict this season Most of the pass
ing Till probably be done by Marsh.;
a recruit, who is also showing
much promise as a broken field j
runner. Lindahl and Glover are
two others who are candidates for
backficld positions and they are
demonstrating that they have a lot
of ability to recommend them.
The Schedule
The Raymondville Bear Cats open
their season September 20th in a
game with Donna at Reymondville.
Thenceforth their schedule is at
follows: _ ,
Sept. 27—Lyford at Raymond
ville. _ _.

70 GRIDDERS OUT TUESDAY
FOR TUCKER FIELD PRACTICE
There were 70 gridders out in |
uniform within the confines of
Tucker field Tuesday afternoon.
This is believed to be the largest
aggregation ever gathered together
in the history of the local school
system.
Twenty-three high school Eagles
went through their paces under
Coach Douglas Fessenden. Twenty
two Junior college Scorpions con- 1
tinued their hard labors under
Coach Calvin Surtees. The high
school "B’ team turned out 25
strong for “Soc" Plato.
The Eagles are contnulng to
smooth up their play. The work
consists to a large degree of pUy
running. Fessenden is striving for
the machine-like quality which
marked the undefeated aggrega
tion he turned out last season.
Pushes Collegians
Surtees, with a game a little
more than a week off. is continuing
to push the collegians rapidly
ahead. The contest will be played
with San Benito high at San Benito
September 26. the day previous to
the Brownsville-Harlingen contest
to be staged at Harlingen. He has
a number of good prospects on his
squad. Pipkin is perhaps the most ;
finished back in the Valley. He
will call sigr/.ls for the Scorpions.
Lebowitz of San Benito, and San
tos Ceyanes and Fritz Ball, both of
Brownsville, comprise the remaind
er of the backfield as it is tenta
tively lined up at present.
In the line he has two powerful
men in “Buster" Monsecs, guard,
and Atkins, tackle. Both of the
Martin Comets. Callan and Dudley,
who played with the El Jardin Co
mets last year, also are working in
the line. Cuellar is holding down
the center post and Powell has one
of the tackles. 8urtees has not set
tled on any of his players as yet,
but this was the way his eleven
stacked up Tuesday.
New Prospect
Webber, a new prospect of Mar
ioni 111, came out Tuesday as did
Kenneth (Pickles) Clark, former
Eagle. “Chick” Horton may enter
the Junior college, it is said.
“Soc" Plato’s “B" has plenty of
backfield material. It lines up as
follows: Wilson. Garza, Todd.
Sanchez. Guzman, Bennett. Baker
Villarreal, Smith and Taylor.

LINCOLN. Neb., Sept. 18.—tVP—
Nebraska freshmen gridsters—the
boys who will uphold Cornhusker
football prestige in the next four
years—will not be slighted in a pro
gram outlined by the new head
coach, Dana X. Bible.
There will be a regular freshman
squad, and in addition an intra
mural league for the others. As a
player in the league shows ability
he will be transferred to the regu
lar yearling squad; if a squad
member needs more experience or
fails to play up to standard, he
will be farmed out'* to the league.
Two games were down for the
freshmen this year under a new
Big Six ruling. Missouri will be
played at Lincoln and Oklahoma at
Norman.
Stiff Competition
But while the freshmen coaching
staff is drilling huskier football into
the high school stars. Bible and his
assistants have a more vital task.
They must mold a Cornhusker team
to defend the Big Six title and
maintain Nebraska's excellent rec
ord in Intersectional conflicts.
The first three games on the
schedule bring the Comhuskers
against three strong teams from
other sections—Southern Methodist.,
Syracuse and Pitt. Then the Big
Six schedule begins with Missouri. |

tackles, another guard, a reserve
center, an end and a quarterback!
of last year's team also were lost j
by graduation or ineligibility.
Coach Bible, an exponent of the
open game, does not plan to do
away with the favorite Cornhusker
plays of the past seasons—plays
which pounded at the opposing
line until it was shattered wide
open. He will use both styles, and
a team from the state he left to
direct Nebraska football—Southern
Methodist at Dallas, Tex—will oe
the first to test out the result* of
his teaching.

CUBS FAILTO
CINCH PENNANT
Lost Two to Brooklyn As
Pirates Take Decision
From Phillies
(By Associated Press)
The long-awaited clinching of the
pennant by the Cubs was delayed
again yesterday when Brooklyn
twice rallied to win both halves of
a dcuble-lieader in Chicago os the
Pirates came from behind to pull
out the decision in their own gam®
against the Phillies.
In the first game Hal Carlson
permitted the Robins to run up a
lead of 6 to 0 in a single inning,
the third, and the Cubs mrde it
closely only because Dazzy Vance
had one of his worst days of the
season. The Bruins assaulted the
strike-out king for three runs in
the fourth and for four more in the
fifth, and approached to within one
hit of the pennant only to see Ed
die Moore single with the bases
tilled in the ninth to give the Rob
ins an 8 to 7 decision.
Mike Cvengros took over the
pitching after Carlson had been
ilattened. but himself gave way to
Sheriff Blake just before Moore de
livered his winning blow. The de
feat was charged to Mike as he put
the men on base
Guy Bush was knocked from the
box by live Robin runs in the first
half of the nightcap, and Hal
Carlson gave way to a pinch bats
man in the seventh when the Cubs
pulled up to a tie. Art Nehf was
shaky in the eighth, and Pat Ma
lone rushed to the rescue, only to
deliver a home run ball to Babe
Herman with the bases filled. The
Cubs picked up one mo t in the
ninth, but the Robins won 9 to 6
The Pirates defeated the Phillies
in the get-away game 11 to 7, and
did it on eleven hits against sixteen
piled up by the Phils.
Remaining National league clubs
.were idle, due to dolibkheaders in
St. Louis and Cincinnati last Sun
day.
The Red Sox gave Young Ed
