Led by Richards, a speedster cen
ter who had his eye on the basket
all evening, the Harlingen inde
pendent cagers easily outclassed the
Brownsville Hargrove quint Tuesday
30-11 on the Port Brown court.
Richards rang up 15 points him
self, sinking five baskets from the
floor and five on free tosses. The
husky Harlingen cagers was given
ample support by his team mates,
especially Godard. This chap loop
ed the leather through the basket
for eight points himself.
The Brownsville club showed lack
of teamwork there were spurts of
individual brilliance flashed by
Hanna and Babbert. “Red” Irvine
got into the tilt for a while and
aided materially in keeping down
the score with his work at forward.
The outcome of the game was in
never in doubt from the opening
moments when Richards began his
pretty performance by dumping one
into the hoop. He continued to

1 With Hal Eustace
The piece de resistance of the
Texas sport menu for the week is
the Breckenridge-Port Arthur tilt at
Waco Saturday for the high school
championship. The Valley is high
ly interested, due to the fact that
the Brownsville Eagles should have
been up there, and would have been
—except for a fumble on the one
yard line. The dope indicates a
Breckenrldge victory, but the ma
jority of the fans here will be pulling
for Coach Tom Dennis' Indian rub
ber men to crash through with fly
ing colors.
Tom won a warm spot in the
hearts of Valley tans when he re
fused to be a party to tiie investi
gation of Juan Tijerina s eligibility.
Dennis has the birth certificate
which would indicate Tijerina, third
string Eagle center, to be 20 years
of age. Port Arthur has three assets
which have sent them to the State
finals two consecutive years. There
are a great coach, luck and a fight
ing spirit that will not be downed.
Dennis is unquestionably one of
the best high school mentors to be
found within the wide flung boun
daries of Texas. There are those who
will tell you Tom is not exceedingly
“smart” that there are plenty of
others who could teach him some of
the finer workings of football, but
nevertheless, he has the happy fac
ility of winning. Port Arthur elevens
are noted for their third period
comebacks. After a quarter hour in
a club house with Dennis, these Yel
low Jackets rush their opponents
off their feet.
Things looked pretty dark for Pori
Arthur In the second quarter when
the Eagles had them 12-0. At that
stage, the game had all the ear
marks of another crushing Browns
ville victory. The Eagle backs were
clicking smoothly while Bennett.
Summers and their gang were man
handling the Jacket forwards. That
second touchdown seemed to get un
der ‘Warhorse’’ Turner’s skin. His
crew came back quicker than a hot
check. In four plays they ironed
over & touchdown through a brood
Running true to form. Dennis
gave his charges a shot of Alma
Mater serum at the half. It must
have been powerful stuff, for the
Jackets soundly outplayed Browns
ville during the third period. They
were inside the Eagle 20-yard stripe
three times and ran up five first
downs. Toward the end of the
quarter they began the drive which
linally resulted in a touchdown and
the winning one-point margin.
Luck has had its part in Port
Arthur's success. Last season she
| GRID NOTES ]
Punting is likely to decide Satur
day's final bout at Waco between
Breckenridge and Port Arthur.
Breckenridge has in Boyce Magness
a kicker who could take his place'
in any southwest conference back
iield. He boots ’em 50 and 60 yards
with regularity and seldom g£es
his opponents an opportunity to
return. The punt, as employed by
Breckenridge, is a real offensive
weapon. Port Arthur is supposed
to be weak in that department. At
least, the Jackets could get an
average of only some 30 yards in1
last week's tilt with Denton.
Without Magness' supberb boot
ing, it is very doubtful that the
Buckaroos would have eliminated
Waco last week. Or. if Waco had
had a punter of ability, the result \
might have been reversed. Coach
Tyson was afraid of his punting and
must have ordered his boys to kick
on third down. They did just that
throughout the game, and It ham
pered their chances to make a con
certed drive down the field. In
two plays they would pick five, six
or seven yards, then kick. If they
had been willing to risk another try
and kick on fourth down it might
have changed things considerably. I
Lack of a sure-fire punter, you
might say. cut down the Tigers’ of
fensive strength by one-third. The
value of a fine punter seldom is
sufficiently stressed.
’ ’ ’
Southwest grid fans can quit
worrying bout a loss of prestige for
this section in the Dixie Classic at
Dallas. The squall that Ray Mor
rison will assemble next week to do
battle with the Big Ten stars on
New Years day should be able to,
take care of itself against any op
position. The same squad probably
could have romped through the last
conference race wthout being ser
iously pressed. There are a few
outstanding stars not in the fold,
notably Wear Schoonover and -Big
un" Rose but their places will be
well filled. Officials of the game
have not fully dispaired of bring
ing Rose and Schoonover around.
The Southwest eleven will have a
fine backfleld. speedy and well f/t
ted to the brand of football taught
bv Morrison. The line, from center
through tackles, will be powerful,
but slightly weak on the wings. As a
guess. Morrison might start the fol
lowing line-uo against the big boys
from the Mid-West: Burnett. Tex
as. center: Sanders. S. M. U.. and
Richter. Aggies, guards: Willis, Cen
tenary. and Moore, T. C. U., tackles;
Walker. T. C. U.. and Power Rice,
ends; Grubbs. T. C. U., quarterback;
Hanna. Centenary, and Mill*.
Acvies. halbaeks: Miller. Arkansas,
'ullbaek. That team could stand on
its own legs, but there are plenty
of capable alternates, such as Gels.
Reular, Conover and Dorsev, backs:
Handler. Van Sickle and Jones.
truardsr and Saufley. center and
end. Several Southwest conference
coaches who met Centenary' this
veer declared Willis, the Gents’
"iptaln was the greatest tackle In
I the section, not excepting Hammon
of S. M. U.
went to the finals, thanks to sever
al fortunate flips of a coin. No one
will deny but that the Jackets got
the "breaks'’ this season. Up to
the time Sam Houston (Houston*
reared up and slapped John Rea
gan (Houston) into the dust. Port
Arthur was given only an outside
chance to take the District No. 7
bunting. Reagan's defeat was a
whale of an up-set and it donated
the championship to Port Arthur.
Her most fortunate break came in
the fourth period of their tussle
with the Eagles. With the score
13-12 and the ball on the Jackets’
one-yard line, the Eagles fumbled
and White recovered. That mlscue
allowed the Jackets to grab the
game off the griddle.
It is to be hoped that these three
qualification*—a great coach, fight
ing spirit and luck—will be enough
to defeat the Breck Bucks. Here’s
a little something to jot down in
the top of your chapeaux. The
Bucks superiority over Waco was
measured by two long forward
passes. If the Jacket pass defense
works against Breckenridge as it
did against Brownsville, they have
little to worry* on this score. The
Eagles failed to complete a single
pass out of eleven attempted.
The Eagles probably ran up the
greatest record in their district of
any team in the state. Undefeated,
they scored 308 points to oppon
ents* 13. The all-district material
on the eleven was Crowe. Bennett.
O’Bryan. Summers. Cortez, New
man and Cabler. Scribes picking
the all-state team would Jo well
not to overlot* Bennett. Newmar.
and Cabler. Bennett, 185-pound
tackle with a fighting heart and
worlds of ability, was probably the
outstanding player in the district.
In Valley circles. Gene Cox of
McAllen and R. Murray of Har
lingen were probably the outstand
ing performers. These two chaps
were in a class by themselves.
-
Basketball fans who attended the
Harlingen-Hargrove tilt at Fort
Brown Tuesday evening saw an in
i cident which could well be called
the height of bashfulness. Be
tween halves, a soldier dribbled on
to the field and gracefully drop
ped one through the basket. Some
one on the sideline cried out in
high falsetto: **There he is. girls!'
The boy took off for the barracks
In a dead heat as if pursued by a
swarm of hornets.

Defending Champions Face
Six Games In Trip
This Week
McALLEN. Dec. 18.—'Valley high
school basketbball season will get
under way during the coming tw'o
weeks when practically every team
will have been matched in either
conference or practice games.
McAllen high school Bulldogs
have played three practice games
thus far, stopping the Pharr-San
Juan Bears 34 to 12 last Thursday
afternoon and falling before the
Edinburg junior college Broncs 32
to 17 Friday night, and losing to
the same team 31 to 19 Saturday
night.
The Bulldogs, presenting in 1928
the fastest basketball team in the
Valley, will meet with more op
position this year than last, as
Brownsville, Harlingen, Weslaco,
Edinburg and possibly others have
developed more promising fives
than last year. The Bulldogs walk
ed away with the Hidalgo county,
Valley district and bi-district
championships last year, losing in
the semi-finals In Austin.
Allen and Modest arc showing
their championship form and Walsh
will get Into his stride after he plays
in the "Battle of Grapefruit" at
Brownsville January 1st, in which
the all-Valley football squad will
meet the Cisco Loboes in what will
be an annual affair. A large num
ber of candidates have made the
selection of the 1929 squad a dJffi
qaalt problem, but Coach “Cowboy”
Ogan is not chasing any of them
away.
The Bulldogs will open a busy
week Wednesday night they meet
a McAllen town team and Wednes
day afternoon the Pharr-San Juan
Bears. Friday they meet the Kings
ville Brahmas in two games, after
noon and night, and Saturday they
will follow a similar schedule in
tangling with the Taft high school
Eagles.
