Rev. Franklin j. Bohannan, d. D.,
dean of Trinity Cathedral, and execu-
tive secretary of the Diocese of Eas-
ton has resigned these positions, to be
effective on January 1st. His inten-
ton to leave Easton was communicate
ed to Bishop Davenport and to the
Cathedral last week.
Dean Bohanan will be associated
with the National Cathedral work at
Washington u'.ier Bishop Freeman,
eL.l will Tor 'hc i.ext yea~ organize
throughout The e:.:..e country Chapters
affiliated VIII the National Cathedral
He will be 4 canon at the Cathedral.
The removal of Dean Bohanan from
this diocese will be serious loss. He
is completing next week, his fifth year
at the Easton Cathedral, and his third
year as executive secretary of the
Diocese. He was the first editor of
the Eastern Shore Churchman of which
the Dean has made a remarkable sue
cess, it now being considered among
the very few best church papers in
the country. His work as executive
secretary has been equally successful
and so much so that it will be difficult
to find one to exactly fill the place.
AS dean of Trinity Cathedral he has
fostered and built up the Cathedral
idea in Easton and throughout the
Diocese, developing the mission work
of the Diocese and in other ways
Strengthening the CATHEDRAL founda-
ton.
He was actively back of the Chill
dren's Home rebuilding and has been
active in many other prominent Do
cesar Works. He has twice represen-
ted this Diocese in the General Con-
ventions of the Church. He is the
clerical representative of Easton in
the Rotary Club.

WESLACO STACKS UP
AS EARLY FAYORlTE
IN VALLEY FOOTBALL

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, Oct. O.
Wcslaco looks like the probable foot
ball champion of the lower valley, fol-
low ing the series of high school games
Friday of last week, which left Yves
laco and Mercedes the only indicated
teams in this section.
In the upper valley, where the first
series of games were played, Donna
won from Mission, IL to 0, and Edin-
burg beat Pharr-San Juan, while Nc
Allen remained idle.
The Wcslaco team, which had pre-
viously eliminated San Benito, picked
early in the season to win the title,
defeated Brownsville here by a score
of 81 to 0. Straight football was used
throughout the game, and Weslaco won
on steady playing.
San Benito had an easy victory over
Rio Hondo on a muddy field there,
the score being IL to 0, although the
contest was not close, while Mercedes
downed Harlingen, 81 to 3. Harlingen
had previously defeated Brownsville.
Edinburgh High School may be a
contender for the title, judging from
the 21-to-12 victory of that team over
Pharr-San Juan, while Mission could
not hold the charging Donna eleven,
and lost, IL to o. Friday.

ON BLOCKED KICK

A blocked punt by Russell Ponder.

proved to be the only score Of the
game and enabled the Main Avenue
High Billygoats, composed of the Sec
ond team and reserves, to defeat Flor
esville High School, 8 to 0, at Flores
vile, Monday afternoon.
Ponder's touchdown came late in
the second quarter. After having fail
ed to advance the ball out from their
15-yard line on three plunges, Flor
esville back attempted to boot the oval
to safety, but the lanky Billygoat cen
ter hurled his bulk in the way and the
pigskin bounded back across the goal
line where Ponder fell upon it. Duns-
more failed to kick goal.
The most spectacular play of the
game came at time when the Flores

Day McNeel, Billygoat back, dropped
back behind the goalline to kick, but

and ripped off tackle for a 45-yard
run, putting the ball out of dan
ger.
Powell, Floresville fullback, was
easily the star for the losers. tear

The game was marred by much de

SEVEN ALL-STATE HIGH
STARS AMONG L0NCHORNS

saw him in action gave him that dis
tinction. He is the type of football
player that tears a line to shreds.
Already he is being recognized as the
equal if not superior of Jim Marley,
captain of the 1924 orange and white
eleven.
King weighs about 1856 pounds, is
very sturdily built, and if his forwards
give him the slightest bit of co-opera-
ton is certain to plunge for gains
against any line. He is also splen'
did defensive back, tackling with much
force.
STAY TOGETHER.
Joe King and "Ox' Higgins may
well be mentioned together. They
played together four years at Dallas
Oak Cliff High School; last year were
members of the Texas University
freshman team. and now bid fair to
play together for three years as mem
bers of the Longhorn eleven. Twice
these sterling athletes brought the
state basketball title to their school,.
King is secondString quarter, yield
ing first honors at that post to Cap
tain Stuart Wright. Higgins is q
first-string tackle, and many believe
he will come close TO winning ALI
Conference honors his first season IN
university football. :.
King is heady quarterback; IN
fact, the Longhorn coaches will tell
you he is about the headiest man on
the team. He is a bit light, weighing
only about 145 pounds, but he makes
up for his lack of avoirdupois by bus
spced. smartness and shiftiness. He
is particularly adept at gathering in
punts and carrying back the pisskin
for long gains. His passing is &C.
curate.
Higgins, a powerful lad who loves
football. has just the right physique
and disposition to make of him a
mean" tackle. In high school he was
an all-state end; but. shifted to
tackle, he made good from the start.
MADE INTO END.
Gerald Coffey was captain OF and
all-state tackle on the 1923 Wichita
Falls eleven. Since he weighs only
1855 pounds, Gerald has been placed
at end by Coach Stewart. Before
Balwin was shifted to end, Coffey
was a first string wing guardian. Al.
though of rather slight physique, the
Wichita Falls boy is hard to take out
of a play. He is also a fair snatcher
of forward passes.
Mack Saxon played football ont
year for Austin College before com
ing to Texas University last fall. he
is a regular Longhorn back, and many
orange and white enthusiasts believe
he will be the most consistent ground.

AUSTIN, Oct. ,6.-CP-Seven for
mer all-state high school players are
trying out for the Texas Longhorn
football team of '25, and four Of the
lot seem certain to hold down regular
berths, while the other three probably
will see enough action to earn a ct. !"
Each of the seven is trying out for
the varsity eleven for the first time.
The seven performers are: Leo Bald
win, Wichita Falls; 'Pottie" McCul-
Tough, Waco; Rufus King, Austin !;
Joe King and "Ox" Higgins, Dallas !;
Gerald Coffey, Wichita Falls, and
Mack Saxon, Temple.
Baldwin came to Texas University
with a great reputation as an all
round athlete and he bids fair TO live
up to this reputation. He won all
state honors at fullback when playing
for "Buddie" McCallum's 1923 Wichi-
ia Falls High eleven that reached the
semi-finals of the state championship
scrap. "Doc" Stewart, head Longhorn
mentor, started Baldwin in the back
field; but the Texas coaches have de-
cided he will be of greatest value at
end. Baldwin is extremely big, fast
ard powerful. 1t is common saying
among Longhorn supporters that
Baldwin doesn't know how strong he
really is"
ALL-AROUND ATHLETE.
The former Wichita Falls ace is
certain to win distinction in football,
and he is an excellent baseball player
and track performer as well. Before
'leaving Texas University he is ex-
Iccted to develop into the best known
track and field athlete of Texas his
tory, as he is a talented performer in
both the low and high hurdles, the
high jump, shot-put and discus throw.
Mccullough is a product of Coach
Paul Tyson's coaching system that
has brought so much renown to Waco
High School. This lad showed to adj
vantage at both guard and center when
at high school and was placed at CEN
ter on the all-honor eleven.
The Waco boy, although not regu-
lar, is certain to get into a number
Of games. He is very smart, but has
considerable to learn as yet about uni
versity football. Then, too. the Long
horns have in "Heinie" Pfannkuche,
line captain, the best defensive center
in the conference, and it is only to
be expected Mccullough should play

dell, substitute center Of last year,
also likely will get the call over Nc
Cullough, provided he RECEIVERS from a
badly injured shoulder.
Rufus King, captain Of the 1928
Austin High clever. appears to be a
certainty as first-string fullback. In
1923 King was not universally hailed
as all-state high school fullback,
