that has been advanced one day on
the calendar in order that local fans
may have an unhampered emporium
ity TO sally forth and view the Har-
l~ingen-San Benito contest for the
Championship Of the Valley.
Mercedes, with q much better team
than her seasons record would in
dictate, Is expected TO bring a hust-
ling, fighting aggregation into town,
a team that may cause the locals
some trouble, In the opinion OF
Frank Rubarth. coach Of the Senior
Brownies. Both sides viii be out
for blood in an effort to take the
final game of the year, and one Of
the best grid contests either has
bad a part In this season. may be
expected.
Mercedes has been showing q lot
Of pep in m Of recent weeks,
and has aroused the interest Of the
home fans. As q consequence q
Roodly crowd may be expected to
accompany the visiting gladiators In
to the Border City for the struggle.
The slagon of "let's get Browns
Vile" has been the watehword in
Mercedes ever since tn game with
San Benito last week was called off.

will not be because they have left
any stone unturned to do so.
A large percentage Of the team
| spent last Thursday afternoon view
ing the proceedings between Browns
vile and McAllen, which the locals
lost.
The fact that the visitors have
been pointing for this one fray for
| more than two weeks Is a good in
| dication Of their desire Il win the
coming game, but fails to give much
line on their ability to do so, Coach
Rubarth said Wednesday morning.
I'VE are just as anxious as they
are "a win that game. and as 70 our
ability 10 do so. only time will tell
the coach said. He declared he was
more optimistic than he had been be-
fore any game this year.
"The boys know a lot Of football
and il the breaks 60 in our favor
We certainly should win. but II will
be . hard fight" Rubarth said.
