The firs Waller football get-to gether of the season will be held at Mercedes Tuesday night whea the Coaches' and Officials' Asso ciation will hold a meeting at the call of Coach Al Weir of McAllen. Woody Carruthers, head of the asHKiation, has left the Valley, and Weir, vice prexy. la carrying on the good work. Tills associa tion, although It has been assailed as a bod for boosting of officials' fees, does mere than any other group for the welfare of football In tlie Valley. Last season several superintendents romped on the association with both feet and as serted in no uncertain terms that it had no official standing in rchool circles. The school heads ob jected principally to the asosciation issuing passes which were to be honored at all gates. Some stated that Valley schools were paying of ficiaLs too much and were Inclined to blame the association. » • • Tlie association was a bit out of bounds when it began issuing passes without consulting the schools. However, there was no attempt to bulldoze the schools m this matter. The assciation had not given the matter much consideration. Only a minimum of passes were issued to officials. These would enable them to see games when they were not working. As for too high fees, this is largely caused bv the indi vidual coaches. A coach takes a likeing to an official and insists on having him He will have no a other and consequently the ante is ^ boosted. About Jack Frost Jack Frost of Port Isabel will l.kely see a lot of duty as an offi cial in ’he Valley this season. Jar* has had ample seasoning in the game and should be a good official. In his college days he played at Westminster and later was a member of the Rock Island pro team. Of late he has been officiat ing games ai Kansas city. St. Joe. and Iowa City. Ha services will likely be in demand this season in the valley * Doc - Osftorn. who did a lot of officiating last season, may get back here from Monterrey In time to work in Valley games, car ruthers has been a popular official but he has taken leave. I. F. Mar tin. former Weslaco coach, has ben an efficient and demanded ofiefial heretofore. However. I. E. is coaching Harlandale <8 A > this year. « • • Regardless of the attacks on It hr the schools, the association has done a lot for football, it gives the coaches and officials a common meeting ground and makes for bet terf understanding between all con cerned. Its general ’bull" sessions serve to acquaint all who control football in this section. The associa tion makes for uniform interpreta tion of the rules. Although this phase has never reached very deep, discussions of rules and circum stances surrounding rulings are held from time to time. This, in our esti mation. should be one of the phase* emphasized by the association More study of rules and their interpre tations. • • • Bnvs Turn Out Football activity is beginning to hum over the Valley. High school squads are trotting out and coaches are casting crrical eyes over thi^ year was a tight fight between Mis sion. Dcnna and San Benito with the Greyhounds winning out. Donna Is going to be tough again this seas on for Claude Dailey is certain to get a lot out of his •nubbins,’' as he calls his small youngsters. In Big Stuff Snell. Dailey has a good start. Last vear’s head coaches are gone at San Benito and Mission. Mule Brown will head the Greyhounds while Charley Devinney will guiae the Mission Eagles. • • Dutch Rektorik already has his Harlingen Cardinals preening their wings. They hope to go to another district championship this season over the Brow n, vtlie Screaming Eagle-. The Cards were eliminated last year by the Beaumont squad. Coacii B»n Bute will get the Eagles started in the near future and pros pects are not as gloomy as you might have been told. Ben will get a lot out of his material. The Eagles fell before the Gards last season by a 13-0 count. PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE Seattle 5.
