three and tied two. running up
100 points to 6 for the opposition.
Against the same clubs. Pharr has
won four and tied one, scoring 113
points to 6 for opponents. These
comparative scores follow:

Mercedes 21. Edinburg 0
Pharr 39, Edinburg 6.

It takes no wizard to see that j
this should be one of the best
matched championship games ever
played In the Rio Grande Valley
There Is little or nothing to
choose between the clubs on com- 1
parative performances.

NOW .AS TO the San Bcmto
Douna game This should be al- i
most as much of a dog fight as
the Tiger-Bear tussle. Against
three common opponents, Mercedes
Weslaco and La FVr:a. 8sn Benito
has won two and lost one while
scoring 44 points to 25 for op- I
ponents. Against the same clubs,
Donna has won two and tied one
scoring 14 points to none for op- j
position. The bu item staring San
Benito In the face is the fact that I
she was delcated 25-0 by Mercedes
while Donna held the Tigers to a
scoreless tie. But on the other ■
hand. Donna barely beat La Feria
7-0 while San Benito trounced the
Cavaliers 25-0. Another big Item ,

Centenary abides by all conference

CLOSE BATTLE
IS EXPECTED
Brownsville Primes Club
For Thanksgiving
Classic
The Brownsville high Eagles will
make their last stand on home
grounds here Friday afternoon when
they tangle with the Edinburg Bob
cats in what should prove an inter
esting contest.
It will be the Eagles’ last chance
to polish up their machine before
clashing with the Harlingen Cardi
nals for the Valley “A" title at Har
lingen Thanksgiving.
Both the Bobcats and Eagles have
taken heavy poundings this season
and are anxious to come out victor
m the game here Friday. On done
there is little to choose between the
clubs.
Knowing they are up against a
tough assignment in Harlingen, the
Eagles are working hard In prepara
tion for the Edinburg contest. They
are being drilled in defense against
the Notre Dame offense—and last
but not least they are being drilled
dally in pass defense. This last item
cost the Eagles a couple of games
this season.
The Brownsville Fledglings are
up to snuff physically—with except
ion of Coach Ben Brlte. He has
been working with the squad in spite
of his illness, however.
The Eagles can brighten their
season considerably by making a
strong showing against Harlingen
and the right way to start lc bv !
beating Edinburg. The Fledglings
know this and will be after the
Bobcats' hides Friday afternoon
The game will get under way at
3:30 p m. on Tucker field Popular
lowered admission prices will be
charged.

Another Typical Wade Line at Duke
Making Things Tough for Opponents
Six feet two inches of lighting man from the wilds of North Carolina
. . . Freddie Crawford, a great tackle developed by Coach Wallace
Wade at Duke.
Wallace Wade, outstanding Duke
university coach whose lines rank
annually with the best in the nation,
is the younger brother of Davis
Wade, well known San Benltan in
the firm of Wade & Newton.
, If anybody
should be able to
produce good lines
It should be Wade,
for he was an All
American tackle
at Brown univer
sity. The Wade

was in the group.

Wallace got his start in high
school, then played with Morgan
Park Academy. Chicago, and from
there went to Brown where he
made All-American.
The patriotic fever got him. In
1917 he returned to Trenton and
organized a company and was made
captain. W’allace was a great suc
cess at handling and training men
during the war and was not allowed
to go across for this reason.
After the war he coached a prep
school in middle Tennessee later go
ing to Vanderbilt, Alabama and now
is at Duke. His ‘Bama club, featur
ing the All-American Fred Sing
tan. was probably his best. But tiiat
Duke line is one of the best In the
country today.

Relieves Women’s Pains
Here is an example of how Cardul
has helped thousands of women:
"I was very thin and pale,”
writes lira. F. H. Scott, of Roa
noke, Va. “I suffered from weak
ness and a severe pain in my back.
This pain unnerved me, and I did not
feel like doing my work. I did not
care to go places, and felt worn, tired,
dav after day.
“My mother had taken Cardul. and
on seeing my condition she advised
me to try it. I have never regretted
doing so. I took three bottles and it
built me up I gained in weight, my
color wag better and the pain left my
hack. I am stronger than I bad
been in some time."

of New York today.
Not that the three subjects are
related to one another, but it hap
pens the colonel Is president of the
United States Brewers association,
owns the world champion New York
Yankee baseball club, and has to
get the famous sluggers signature
on a new contract.
Ruppert is at French Lick for his
annual 21-day rest. He thinks the
Yankees have a great chance to win
tie American league pennant In
1933 and does not anticipate any
trouble in signing the highest salar
ied ball player in history.
“Babes all right; he will sign at
the right time,’’ Rupiiert said.
Return of real beer interests the
colonel more than anything* else
right now. He believes the Volstead
Act will be modified during the
short term of congress to permit
manufacture of the drink.
“If that is done, my own brewery
will be ready to produce the rt.il
stuff on a minute's notice.” col.
Ruppert said. “It will mean eat
activity in the other 500 breweries
in the United States and the open
ing of others.
“I believe the brewers, if permit
ted to manufacture real beer will
within one year have under way a
$200,000,000 building program.”

By NEA Sendee
DURHAM. N. C—When Coach
Wallace Wade left Alabama In
1930. other mentors In the South
ern Conference slapped him or.
the back, said they were sorry to
see hun go. and then, with their
backs turned, heaved a huge algh
of relief.
But It turns out that they sighed
too soon. Wade is still in the
Southern Conference. He is still
the mam thorn In the side ol
every team In the league and. as
boss Satan of Duke University’s I
Blue Devils, has turned out a Ime !
that is the despair of opposition
backs.
But it isn't strange that Wade
turns out great lines. With no i
little pleasure Dixli coaches re
member those formidable forward

turned out for Bama They re
member the gap.ng holes Freddie
Smgton, Foots Clements, Dumpy
Hagler and other great linemen he
produced left in their lines.

This year at Duke, Wade has a
pony back!.eld averaging only 158
pounds. Bui he has a truck horse
line that stacks up against any in
the country. And the mainstays of
that line are Freddie Crawford,
tackle, and Harry Rossiter, end.
Rossiter is an end who comes
back from his flank position to
pass, punt and run. And you can't
ask for much more than that from
an cr.d.
But the big proof of Wade's suc
cess at Duke is Craw lord. This
190-pound 6 foot 2 inch tackle is
from the mountainous wilds of
North Carolina, and he's just a
bit wilder than those bristling
hills.
His performance in the soutn
has brought the praise from Wade
that Freddie is the best tackle to
go down under punts he nas ever
seen. Coach Chet Wynne of Au
burn says he is one of the best two
tackles in the conference, and
Major Rob Neyland of Tennessee
reports that Freddie is “without a
doubt a great football player and
one oi the best tackles in the
j south.'
Crawford, the dear boy. like.,
to do mo6t of hi* playing m the
opposition's backfield. He is often
seen rudely breaking through and
[ appearing on the other side of the
line to stop plays that were in
tentionally run away from l|m.
He gave an example of his ver
. satility during the Tennessee game
when he snagged a pass out of the
air and ran 72 yards for a touch
down.
He is exceedingly fast for a big
man. His outstanding features are
his hands His paws are as big as
smoked hams from a prize hog.
and they have a grip of steel.

Wade's Blue Devils have lost
only two games this year, and
these were both to the conference
leaders—Auburn and Tennessee.
And the Vols just managed to
squeeze out with a narrow vic
tory by kicking a field goal in the
last minutes of play.
Give Wade another year with
his “devllr." and he'll make the
boys think that Hades really is
