STAR
IS ANOTHER
KAUFMAN
No Over-confidence This
Time in Bobby
Cannon's Camp.

Already defeated once this season
by q "one-man team" Houston Cen
trial. Coach Bobby Cannon's Brack-
enridge High Eagles today approach
their clash with Corpus Christi High
at Schwab Field Saturday afternoon
with considerable trepidation. Inc
Buccaneers from the Coast City are
reputed to be much the same kind OF
an outfit as Central, with Captain
Askey, signal-calling fullback, in the
role of team"
In meeting their 6-to-0 defeat at
the hands-or rather feet-of the bril-
liant Bruce kaufman of the Houston
Central eleven, the Eagles discovered
that kaufman received great deal OF
help from 10 other players wearing
the same color jersey that he did. His
educated toe put a couple of Kicks
through the goal posts, but he re-
ceived lots Of protection while he was
going about it.
The Corpus crew is said to have
more than one capable backfield per-
former but Captain Askey is the big
gun. His running mates are useu
chiefly for interference purposes ana
ON the receiving end of passes. 1t is
the same sort of outfit which defeated
the Eagles before and all but put
them out of the race for state honors.
Dusk has found them still working
every afternoon this week preparing
, proper reception for Mr.. Askcy.
WELL MATCHED.
The Corpus Christi team averages
around 1913 pounds in weight, about
the same as Breckenridge. They out
played the powerful Austin High Ma
rooms throughout four quarters OF
play last Saturday, but could earn
only a tie, q to 6. So far they are
indicated.
Coach Bobby Cannon has faced an
unusual situation at the local South
Side institution this year. If pos
sible, he was weighted down ut the
start of the season with too much val
liable material. He had on hand at
least 10 very capable backfield men
and enough linemen TO make up sew
eral pretty fair teams. Even after
getting his many candidates out for
practice unusually early, it has taken
the three opening games to arrive at
the combination he likes. The past
week is the first time Bobby Cannon
has really had chance TO develop
that combination.
As the team now stacks up, two
duartcrbacks, Captain RccS and Ken
uedy. are stationed at the wings
"Dink" Bass has been shifted to the
signal pot. Friery and Sweet will
start Mt the halfback positions. with
Bob Fcnner at fullback. Friery made
several beautiful runs against the San
Antonio Academy eleven last Friday
MORE IN RESERVE.
II this combination does not func
ton to suit him, Cannon still ha'
Brothcrman, Birdwell, Elkins, Welt
man and Kennedy as reserve ball car
ricrs.
and to progress into the district fin
ais against Austin High School.
Game will be called at 5 80.
