Longhorns Slight Favorites to Trim Baylor Bears
GPORTS CHATS
With Hal Eustace
- —— mm m
Coach Ben Brite and a squad of
22 Harlandale gridsters arrived here
by rail glum-faced and silent early
Friday morning. They had little
comment to make, except that they
knew they were in for a “hard day.’’
Around San Antonio, the Eagles*
fame lias been spread far and wide
and miraculous talcs of their ability
have been told and re-told. In other
words. Brownsville looks like an
ogre to any team bearing the San
Antonio label. “Our boys will be
in there all the time, but we can
only hope to hold dowm the score, ’
one Harlandale fan stated.
There should be a good turn-out
for Fridays game, for it is the last
home tilt on the Eagle schedule.
The remainder of the district race
will bo fought on foreign territory.
In order to add interest to the af
fair. an “ole man's" contest will lie
staged between the halves. Old
favorites, such as Spitz Clark. George
Bell. John Hunter and others. will
compete for prizes. Spitz and "Red"
Irvine practiced up Thursday after
noon. defeating Bell and Calvin
Surtees l-o at kicking goal. Events

The Eaglets made another touch

The Valley title chase is rapily
being brought to a whirlwind in
ish. Mission fell to the side Thcs
day. leaving Harlingen. McAllen aid
La Feria as the undefeated leadrs
Monday Harlingen and McAlen
will battle out their little differer
es. The same day La Feria tafca
on San Benito. It will not be loig
before one team will hold the un
disputed lead. We are inclined a
believe that Harlingen will con
through. La Feria is the unknown
quantity. If she is as strong e
scores indicate, she may upset tl?
dope bucket. San Benito is a pret
ty well known aggregation and L.
Feria will be judged by what oc
curs in this game.
McAllen has a way of comint
: back in the fourth quarter to wir
her games. She snatched another
i from the fire Thursday when she
| defeated Mission 13-8. McAllen had
| scored early in the game. In the
fourth quarter, Jackson of Mission
intercepted a pass and ran 35 yards!
to a touchdown, tieing the score
The Bulldogs then put on a last
minute rush with Webb doing the
major part of the ground gaining
He marched straight down the field
and went over just before the final
whistle was sounded. Rather hard
on Bobby Cannon's Eagles. They
were undefeated up until this game
and had high hopes of winning a
Valley title. This defeat practically j
1 puts them on the shelf.
The Ninth Infantry boys decided
they* could not come down to play
the Edinburg Junior college Broncs. |
Maybe it's against army regulations
for doughboys to monkey around
the harses. (Joke). At any rate[
the game was called off. The Broncs
have signed up some real competi
tion—the Schreiner institute Moun
taineers. The teams will clash at
Edinburg Nov. 18. This should be
one of the outstanding games of the
year for this section. The Moun
taineers have always been noted for
their strong football teams and this!
year is proving no exception to the
rule. The chief feather in their |
caps is a victory* over the Rice
Slimes.
Tuesday of next week, the Broncs
will take on the Texas Chiropractic
College of San Antonio. This ought
to be good. Think what a chiro
practor could do to opponents down
under a heap where the officials
could not see him. Throw a few
backbones out of joint and win any
old game.
The Chiropractors are managed
by Jim Kendrick, well known pro
fessional, who plays in the back
field himself. The Chiropractors are
a group of good players banded to
gether almost for the sole purpose
of playing football. Few, if any.
of the players attend the college.

Vietng with the Austin fray m
joint of interest is the southern
HethodLt-Texas A. & M. battle at

dfeated in the conference, are out
o the title race, and the Mustangs
ae conceded only a fighting chance
alter being outplayed by Texas In
ttcir scoreless duel, but the gamej
promises to be a corker. A loss
poetically would eliminate the air
mnded Methodists.
Frogs vs. Owls

dented, untied teams in the coun

stnight victory at the expense of

Kansas Will Attempt
to Beat Oklahoma
KANSAS CITY. Nov. 8—(^)—For
the second consecutive week the big
six football game in which Kansas
plays holds the conference spot
light.
Beaten by Nebraska last week
only after the 1928 champions had
stood them off on the goal line in
the closing minutes, the Jayhawk
ers tomorrow will invade Noman.

HUSKY VS. CARD
IN FAR WEST.
Washington Hopes to Take
Game to Vindicate
Departing Coach
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 8.—<fP)—
One gridiron event of major import
ance wiil hold interest of Pacific
coast football conference fans to
morrow.
The Cardinals of Stanford Uni
versity and the Washington Hus
kies tangle at Seattle in the fea
ture contest. The Cardinals have
dropped one game tills year, to
Southern California, and Washing
ton has lost several, but the game
promises to be hard fought. The
Huskies are seeking to vindicate
their deposed coach, Enoch Bag
shaw. by taking a victory over
either Stanford or California, whom
they meet next week.
The leader of the conference, the
University of California, will tangle
with the Montana Grizzlers at
Berkeley. In all probability this
game will be an easy victory for
the Californians, and Coach Nibs
Price is planning to use second
string men throughout the major
part of the contest.
The other conference clash wiil
be between Washington state, lead
er of Pacific Northwest elevens,
and the University of Idaho Van
dals. The game will be played at
Pullman, home of Washington, and
from all indications should be a
win for the home team.
Southern California, upset by
California last week, takes on a
non-conference opponent next week,
meeting the University of Nevada
at Los Angeles.

The main tilt on the docket for
Valley fans Friday 1% the Browns
ville-Harlandale game at Browns
ville.
Not so much that It looks like a
hard fight, but that It may be the
last time Valley fans will have an
opportunity of seeing the Eagles in!
action this year. They have no *
more home games scheduled. Har
landale should not prove very stre
nuous opposition for the Screaming
Eagles.
The other game on'the menu for
Friday is Donna at Weslaco. This
should be an Interesting scrap, but
It looks as though the odds favor i
Weslaco. This bunch of fighting
gridsters have taken on the best
the Valley has to offer and still
holds a .600 mark. Donna has
been making a strike with the fans
lately due to her spirit and the
play of Quarterback Patterson.
Mission slipped from the "lily
white” 1.000 group Thursday when
she was defeated by McAllen 13-6. J
This leave* three teams with a shot1
!"--—
at the Valley title—Harlingen, Mc
Allen and La Feria. McAllen now
reigns Hidalgo county with an iron
hand. Armistice day, the Valley
title will probably be decided when
the Bulldogs Journey to Harlingen.
La Feria evidently has a strong
eleven. A real measure of her
strength will be obtained Armistice
when she takes on the San Benito
Greyhounds at San Benito.
The ninth infantry game with
Edinburg Junior college, scheduled
for Thursday, was called off by the
soldiers. The Broncs have added
another hard contest to their diet,
however. The Schreiner Mountain
eers will visit the Hidalgo county
seat Nov. 18. The Mountaineers
are one of the best prep school
elevens in the Southwest. They
hold a victory over the Rice slimes.
