ericksburg.

Bruised and battered from its score
less tie against Main Avenue High,
two days ago, the Breckenridge High
eleven. enters its important Interschol-
astic League tilt against Fredericks-
burg High at Schwab Field. Saturday
afternoon, without any intention of
running up a score on the Hill Coun-
try team, even should the opposition
prove unexpectedly light.
With Hub" Friery, the Eagles
crack safety man and broken field rum
ner on the sidelines with weak an
kle; Billy Sweet, halfback. out with q
scalp wound, and "Dink" Bass, scrap
ping end. nursing broken rib, Coach
Cannon is certain to be satisfied with
victory, no matter by how small q
margin. The Purple coach intimatcd
Saturday morning that he would at
tempt to shove across couple Of
touchdowns as early as possible and
then be content to play defensive
game.
"SHOOT THE WORKS."
II Fredericksburg, the only remain
ing Glass b contender in the district.
should prove stronger than its record
would indicate, Breckenridge is pre-
pared to shoot the works" in order
to stay in the state race and meet
Waco High next week. Saturdays
game will be called at 3 O'Clock.
Coach Cannon reported Saturday
morning that Friery's ankle showed
signs of regaining its strength. so it is
possible that the blond "ace" Of the
Purple backfield will give the injured
member a short test against Fred
ericksburg. Coach Cannon attributed
his teams lack Of offensive strength
against Main Avenue to the fact that
Friery was blanketed on the eide
line.
STAR FULLBACK OUT.
The Fredericksburg squad arrived in
San Antonio early Saturday morning
prepared to rest until game time. A
large crowd of rooters accompanied the
team. Gilbert Henke, big fullback,
was the only member of the squad re-
ported not in perfect shape for Sat
urday's clash. He suffered a broken
ankle in a game with Brady last week.
Fredericksburg has only one defeat
against its record, an IS to 0 loss at
Lampasas, but. as Lampasas High was
later elected from the state race be-
cause of the use of an ineligible player,
Fredericksburg's slate is accounted
clean. They played Brady to IL
to-12 tie, and Brady was overwhelmed,
100 to o, by Waco Thursday. The
fredericksburg eleven averages ap-
proximately 1856 pounds to the man,
which is within pound or two of the
Breckenridge average.
Coach Cannon has gone on nego-
tiating with Waco for a game next
week as though his team already had
disposed Of Fredericksburg, but has
succeeded in reaching no definite
agreement as yet.
NEEDS SOME REST.
He attempted to have the game set
up from Wednesday of next week I'M
til Friday in order that his team might
have two additional days to recuper-
ate, but has not yet received permits
sion from Interscholastic League head
quarters. The site of the Waco game
probably will be decided by the flip Of
coin.
