THIS WEEK bids fair to be one
of the most active in sports that
the Valley has seen. Three import
ant meetings are to be staged,
county basketball tournaments will
be held and the Valley amateur
cage loop will come within two
games of the season's end. T>
night a general meeting of the
Amateur cagers will be held at the
Harlingen city hall. Arrangements
for the championship round robin
and a banquet will be made at this
session.
WEDNESDAY night a general
meeting of Vaylley baseball fans,
players and other interested parties
will be held at the Harlingen city
hall. The purpose of this gather
ing is to determine just what the
Valley wants in the way of baseball
for the coming season. A league
will likely be formed under the rules
of the Texas Amateur Federation.
On the same night, Cameron coun
ty high school basketball chiefs
will meet in San Benito to settle
on all arrangements for the county
tournament to be held in Browns
ville Friday and Saturday.
WITH HARLINGEN well along
with her plans for a strong semi

IN TRAINING
• Special to The Herald. 1
McALLEN. Feb. 10.—Coach “Cow
boy” Ogan's spring training ses
sion for McAllen high school foot
ball players opened here Thursday
and more than 25 candidates re
ported. '“he training season will
last for at least five weeks and pos
sibly longer, Ogan stated.
The promising art ay of material
removes worry that faced the Bull
dog mentor at the close of the 1929
season when a number of his stars
were scheduled for graduation in
May. A group of very promising
youngsters has turned out and
proven their desire to become cogs
in a Bulldog gridiron machine
which is expected to prove a thorn
in the side of title contenders dur
ing the 1839 football grind.
A number of youngsters who were
called into action a few times dur
ing the past season will return for
another fling at the coveted let
ter. Among them are Bud Earnest
George Karam. Owen Werd, Barney
Jackson. Burgess Stutzenbecker.
John Hayes, Big Jim Walsh and
Roy MeCamey. Two outstanding
l>erformers not included in the
spring training grind because of the
basketball season arc Kendrick
Toney and Carles Modest.
A championship McAllen Junior
high school Bullpup aggregation is
almost ready to get into the run
ning for places on Ogan's Bulldog
reserve squad and this factor will
give the Bulldogs a much better
break when coping with a team
which runs in many substitutes. It
is safe to declare tha* Fred Webb,
star backfielder for the Bullpups
will, during the next two or three
years, provide Lower Rio Grande
Valley grid followers with some of
the most sensational exhibitions of
broken field running yet seen in
this section. Built for speed. Webb
is the answer to many a coach's
prayer. He is light but stays solidly
on the ground and f; hard to take
out of play. His flashing heels
have been the signal for the down
fall of many a promising junior
high school team in the Valley
during the past year. Other prom
ising Bullpups of the past year in
cluded James Ford, Harold Hayes
John D. Eggleton, Roy Biggers. and
Amado Garza.
The Bulldogs’ possibilities for 1930
are considered very iood by local
grid fans who recall that they were
runners-up in the Hidalgo county
1829 season and lost the Valley
championship for Class B schools by
only a narrow margin.

Jimmy Garcia, who always heads a

ers lined up once more. The San
Benito C. P. & L. Pentagons are
likely candidates also. The Pents
had a good club last season, but
•* number of their stars have
scrawled their names on the dotted

bark following two months spent
in Europe. This means a boom ir.
girls athletics. A basketball team
rill likely be former in the near
future. The popular school ma in
was crossing he Atlantic aboard the
Majestic when the Brownsville
Eagles and Port Arthur met on the
grid at Houston. Friends radioed
her the result. She says her trip
was almost ruined. Miss Valenta.
her mother and father made the
trip in order to be present at her
brother's graduation from the
University of Rome. Afterward
they spent some time in touring
the continental countries.
GEO. SANDERS, lively manager
of the fast moving San Benito
Saints, doesn t take stock in the
prediction that his club will be nosed
out of runner-up position in the
lower bracket of the Valley Amateur
Basketball league. Even if the Har- !
lingen Methodists were to win a
pair from the Saints, his club would
still be very much in the running.
George says. Further, he's not so
certain that the Methodists will be
able to cop this pair. These two
teams meet at San Benito Tuesday
night in the most important game
in the league They tangle again
Friday at Harlingen.
ACCORDING to the rules laid
down at the beginning of the season,
the Brownsville Junior college
Scorpions are not eligible for the
championship round-robm, even
should they nose out San Benito.
However, local school officials have
thoroughly scanned the by-laws and
constitution and have not found
anything that would bar them from
this senes. J. W. iRed> Irvine, lo
cal athletic director, plans to take
the matter up with the president of
the federation in San Antonio
shortly.

Fort Brown has endeavored each
year to bring here outstanding
civilian teams. We believe that
good polo adds materially to the
entertainment in all tourist cen
ters. We believe that the Browns
ville people want and are entitled
to as good polo as can be secured.
This year as in the past the sup
port of business and professional
men has been most generous How
ever our efforts to secure outstand
ing teams have not been successful.
On account of unprecedented bad
weather the San Antonio tourna
ment has been so delayed that the
visiting teams are unable to come
to Fort Brown. An effort to secure
Mexican Army teams from Torreon
was unsuccessful. The 12th Cava :■
will participate in maneuvers this
spring which will not permit de
laying the tournament to a later
date.
It Is with sincere regret that I
must announce the cancellation of
this yerr'j tournament. The Polo
Association will promptly refund all
subscriptions for parking spaces.
Polo between local teams will be
continued until the troops leave for
target practice and maneuvers. We
hope that ehse games will serve to
maintain interest in polo and that
Brownsville visitors will continue
to look upon the game as one of
the local tourist attractions. We
look forward with assurance that
next winter with the assistance of
our generous supporters we will be
able to hold a successful mid-win
ter polo tournament for the Lower
Rio Grande Valley.
