Prospects of Future
Contests
The Harlingen polo team showed
considerable promise of developing
Into a fast moving organization

feated 12-2 by the Port Brown ag
gregation of officers.
The games was played on the avi
ation field in a slow, cold drizzle.
Despite this fact, a fair sized
gathering was on hand to witness
the debut of the Harlingen horse
men. The grounds were a little
too wet for a real display of horse
manship and the Harlingen riders
were somewhat handicapped.
Maj. Oliver I. Holman of Fort

with the showing of the Harlin

not indicate the eveness of the

little more practice Harlingen will

DESPITE THEIR newness at the
sport, the Harlingen polo players
made a fair showing against the
experienced Port Brown riders here
; Sunday afternoon. The contest was
closer than the 12-2 score would
indicate. The visitors gave promise
of developing into real yjmpeti
J tioa for the officers. With a bit
more experience under their belts,
the Harlingen horsemen should be
a real factor in the February tour
: namcnt to be staged at Fort Brown
| Sunday s game was slowed down
! considerably by a slow, misting
drizzle. Although the game was
moved from the parade grounds to
the aviation field, a fair crowd was
on hand to greet the players.
THE MORE one goes into the
Valley Amateur Basketball league
records, the more it appears that
i the Harlingen Methodists and the
1 Edinburg Firemen will be cham
pions of the lower—and upper
brackets, respectively. These two
squads have compiled the best
average score per game in then
brackets while taking on the cream
of the field. Donna is tied with
Edinburg for scoring honors, but
the clash last Friday between these
clubs proved beyond doubt the
Firemen hold the whip hand.
FOLLOWING IS a list of the
teams and their average score per
game: Edinburg 291-2, Donna 29
1-2, Harlingen Met'.odist 25 2-3,
San Benuo 25; Forakers 23 3-4, Ed
i couch 22 3-4, Brownsville Junior

TWO QUINTS in the itwer brack
et are pulling up rapidly. They are
ihe Brownsville Junior college and
San Benito. Sebastian also has
shown power, but is likely to falter
w-hen the going gets .ugher. The
two above named teami have be
gun "clicking' and if anyone is to
stop the march of the Harlingen
Methodists, these are the boys. The
Scorps have been considerably
strengthened by the addition of
Bobby O'Bryan anc' John "Leche"
Sylvester, .vo of the best bas
keteers "Soc” Plato had on his
Eagle squad. When the. get thor
oughly worked into the Scorp com
bination. it is going to make it hard
on the collegians’ oppon-ats. This
team has the adven' ges of being
in training, holding regular prac
tice sessions and beine efficiently
coached by "Cal" Surtees.
THE SA .'S have worked up
a good combination. Trouble looms
Just ahead, however. To. Gabbert, I
perhaps tie' b , . or has been
protested by Jimr . Foraker of the
Harlingen Foraker Clothiers. Gab
bert Is a resident of Brownsville
and this is e grounds upon which
I Jimmy basing hi; p-otest. If we
remember com tly, however, the
i rules only require that the members
of a team be "bona fide resi.' nts
of the Valley.” If this Is correct,
Gabber is entitled to sign up with
; San Benito. The Brownsville man
is an excellent player. He organized
a team here at *he beginning of
the se. son but ran into difficulties.
If Gabber is j ermltted tc
with the Saints, they are due to j
finish well up among *he leaders
in the low*r bracket.
THE MEETING of the league,
scheduled to have been held at |
Harlingen Wedner .ay night, has
been postponed to Thursday, ac
| cording to officers of the loop. Pro
tests and other matters are to be
, ironed 01. at this session. It is
important that every team be rep
resented.

BROWNSVILLE GRIDSTERS

to the three Brownsville civic clubs.
Sixty-six boys in all with their j
"dates”—(get busy flrls and work j
'em over for a free lunch)— will
attend. The affair will be staged at
the El 'ardin hotel.

to be held at New Orleans. Pre
parations for a month’s shoot are
now under way. Contests will be
held three times a week. The five
gunners with the best average will |
represent the bold bad border at
New Orleans. Donna may be ex
pected to send a team also. The

OWLS NEEDING
RAZOR BADLY
S. M. U. Freshmen Making
Things Look Rosy
For Next Year
By GAYLE TALBOT
Associated Press Sports Writer
DALLAS, Jan. 20—(A*)—The big
shooting at Fayetteville has become
a matter of history, and nobodj
seems to know any more about the
Southwest conference basketball
marathon than before the Razor
backs and Longhorns had it out
The result of their series, a split
left no clue to the balance of pow
er.
Where Arkansas looked like its
old self Friday night, taking the
Steers without fccmg greatly ex
tended, Texas came back to square
it up with a 29 to 37 triumph Sat
urday night. That puts them even
for the season, and the champion
ship doubtless will depend upon
their success against the other five
teams the rest of the v*ay. There
seems little reason to doubt one
of them will be at the head of the
procession when the curtain drops
March 1. Rice once was regarded
as the only outfit ' ith a chance
of beatir out the twin terrors
Four straight losses has proved
rather conclusively that the Owls
were overrated.
Doldrums
There will be lit activity in
the reigning circle this week. Ark
ansas does not ha-, c a game sched
uled. and Texas plays only once,
meeting Baylor in a return engage
ment Saturday night at Austin. The
Aggies, who awoke yesterday to
find themselves at the top of the
scramble, the result of a single
victory over Southern Methodist,
will have an opportunity to prove
Rhether they belong in that rari
hed atmosphere. Then engage Rice
Tuesday night at H' ston, and on
Friday play host to Texas Chris
:ian at College Station. It would
lot be surprisin were they to take
i tumble down tl" percentage lad
ier. Baylor and Southern Method
st tangle Tuesday night at Waco
n the week's fourth engagement.
The lUce Owls ri«-ht now have
nore to worry about than any out
lit in the conference. They can't
jet started, and their whiskers are
{rowing fast. Since they have vow
?d not to toy with a racor until
:hey win two games, the prospect
:s discouraging. After meeting the
\ggies Tuesday, they do not have
mother bout until February 8.

ELDER’S RACE
IS DISPUTED
NEW YORK. Jan. 20—The
east will nc‘ see Jack Elder of
Notre Dame In track competition
| again this year, but it can have
the pleasure of talking over his
I disputed race with Karl Wilder
muth. Georgetown flash.
Elder, whose run the length of
the field for the touchdown that
enabled Notre Dame to beat the
Army in November still is fresh in
the minds of sports followers, was
adjudged the winner in a great
75-yard sprint against TTHdermuth
and others at the Brooklyn college
meet here Saturday night. But
many newspapers observers as well
as spectators at the meet thought
Wtldermuth had won.
So close was the finish that the
two Judges charged with the task
of picking the winner split in their
i verdicts, one voting for Elder, the
1 other for Wlldermuth. The other
judges who were to decide second
place also split, one believing Elder
! was runner-up. the other picking
the Georgetown flash as the also
ran. The chief fudge settled the
1 argument by casting the deciding
ballot for Elder.
