Not Scored On
The local gridders, who have an
nexed the Valley championship by
going through the entire season un-
defeated and unsecured upon. came
through Thursdays hard game with
Santa Rosa without n scratch. The
eleven men starting the game played
through the entire contest without a
single mishap.
The boys were given n holiday by
Coach Irvine Friday in order that
they might witness the game between
Weslaco and the local senior team,
but were out bright and early Satur-
day morning, practicing several new
plays. which have been prepared es-
pecially for the game with Palestine.
That outfit has the reputation OF
being spectacular team, with many
peculiar plays and formations. Some
of these plays. IL is said, have never
been used in this section by a high
school football team.
That the Plying Panthers play a
smart, heady game Of football ID
attested By the fact that they have
rolled up large scores against many
class B. senior high school teams, nl-
though the Panthers only weigh on
m average OF 132 pounds 10 the man.
Brownsville. however. with mn even
lighter team. has made nn equally inn
pressive record in this section, and
prospects Of some real football when
the two teams clash are exceedingly
bright.
