Clear skes and a fast feld Fr
day indcated a whirlwind offensive
in the Browncville-Harlandale rid
clash as the teams lined up for the
first kickoff at 3:30 p. m.
Interest grew rapidly in the
game as fans came to the realiza
tion that this might be their last
chance to sbe the Eagles In ac
tion this season . Although
Brownsville was a top-heavy fav
orite, indications were that a fair
siaed crowd would turn out to see
Coach Doug Fessenden’s Peerless
Po int Producing Products in ac
tion.
The Eagles will enter the game
practically up to full strength from
tip to tip to tail back. Barney
Moore s injured leg Is somewhat;
better as is John Sylvester's. Pla-;
cido Gonzalez is back in the har-'
ness and going at full tilt. This
117-pound utility back will probably
see duty this afternoon against the
invading crew of San Antonians.
24 Visitors Arrive
Coach Ben Brite arrived here Fri
day morning by rail with a squad
of 24 players. The San Antonians
were a bit glum and had little to
say relative to the game with the
exception that they knew they had
a hard contest and that they in
tended to “fight all the way.”
Vhe Eagles went through a pol
ishing off workout Thursday after
noon while the Eaglets trimmed the
San Benito seconds 25-0. The squad
looked good and was clicking in the
smooth manner that has character
ized its play throughout the season.
It was evident that Fessenden in
tended to give his second team an
opportunity for he payed particular
attention to them. Rumors to the
effect that the first string Eagles
would not start the game are un
founded. Fessenden said.
A small handful of fans accom- I
panied the Harlandale eleven here,
coming on the same train with the
squad.
Won From Corpts
The San Antonians said they
were astonished by the 64-0 score I
the Eagles ran up on Brackenridge. I
generally rated as the strongest
eleven in San Antonio. San An
tonians generally expected a close
battle with the possibility that the
visitors might win, the beys stated.
So far this season, Harlandale
has won one game, defeating Cor
pus Christi 7-0. They lost to Robs
town and Main avenue.
The Eagle starting line up will
probably be:

COTTON MARKET
OPENING FIRM
—
Strength Comes From High
er Cables and Cold Wea
ther Reports
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 8—The
cotton market experienced a firm
and steady opening owing to higher
cables and rain and colder weather.
Prices showed gains of 14 to 20
points and the market continued to
improve, stimulated by the bullish
statement by the farm loan board,
depreciating present low prices for
cotton and grain. December traded
up to 17.25; January to 17.38 and
March to 17.67. or 19 to 22 points
above yesterday s close. Some final
pre-bureau liquidation caused the
market to lose 7 to 10 points of the
early gain but soon rallied, practi
cally to the highs. At the end of
the first hour the market was very
steady and active.
The market improved during the
first hour until active months were
19 to 21 points above yesterday's
close. On announcement of the
government estimate, considered
bullish, at 15.009,000 bales and gin
nings at 10.889.314. December went
to 17.34. January to 17.45 and March
to 17.75, or 23 to 29 points above
! the previous close and 11 to 14
j points up from prices ruling at the
j time the report was announced.
A little later the market turned
easier under shorts selling. De
cember dropped to 17.05. January to
17.17 and March to 17 46. or 28
to 29 points down from the high'
prices then were about on a level
with yesterday’s close.
At noon the prices rallied in res
, ponse to trade buying and shorts
covering and active months re
covered 16 to 17 points from the
lows.

No matter what coats a child’s

precaution to give a few drops of
Castoria. This gentle regulation

things to rights. A pure vegetable

—even when it is colic, diarrhea,
