ing his Texas Aggies a thorough and
relentless drilling in team play with
the end in view OF making as nearly
perfect as possible the functioning
Of the Aggie machine.
The A & M.-Sewanee gam at Dali
las, n sectional event Of much inter
est in Southern gridiron circles for
the last four years, promises to be
Of more than usual interest when
the two teams meet at Fair Park

years the Aggies have bested the
fighting contingent brought down by

year the Tigers have seemed a little
nearer to victory. The first game, in
1928, ended IL to 0 in favor Of the
Aggies. Next year A. & N. won 2
TO o. Then in 1925 IL was 6 TO 6.
Last year the Aggies carried off vic
tory 6 to 3.
With the memory of these defeats
and n tie game, the Tigers are re
ported to be headed Texas-way with
a determination to make q different
showing. All of which promises q
gridiron contest Of many thrills, since
the Aggies are considered stronger

POTATOCROP
TO Be SMALL
Heavy Cut VIII Be In
Upper Valley, Nc
Davitt Says

The potato acreage in the Valley
will be reduced materially this sea-
SON, according to an estimate by w.
L. McDavitt Of Brownsville. Approx
imately 1900 acres were planted to
potatoes last season, and according
70 Mr.. McDavitt's estimate the acre
age this season will not exceed 1900.
While there will be some reduction
in the Brownsville section, the heavi-
est cut will be in the upper part Of
the Valley. The acreage in the Los
Fresnos and San Berito sections will
also be reduced, according to re-
ports from growers and seed deal
potatoes will be shipped into the
Valley, according to reports from
western Nebraska. where the seed
potatoes for the Valley are obtained,
indicating that the paintings will
run between 5000 and 10000 aeres
Fred Rusteberg, who returned last
week from Nebraska where he pur-
chased seed potatoes for his own
planting, reports that an excellent
quality Of seed viii be obtainable
this year. Plenty Of No. Is and
certified" are available, and the
planting Of the certified seed Is ex-
pected to exceed that of last year in
this section. The seed growers in
western Nebraska have had an ex-
eellent season, but report that the
demand Is not 50 heavy as In for
mer years from either the Texas or
Louisiana potato growing sections.
Mr.. McDavitt, who returned re-
Gently from Florida, reports that the
potato acreage in the Hastings dis
trict, the principal potato growing
section of that state, will not be
increased this year and may be de-
creased materially. This fact, COM
bined with the acreage reduction in
the Valley, is taken as an indication
Of q strong market throughout the
spring.
Several of the large potato grow
ers Of the Brownsville section have
their land prepared, and report their
potato average in fine condition.
Large acreages are being prepared
| on the lower river plantations, and
also in the Los Fresnos section.
Considerable acreage was planted
to potatoes in the unirrigated areas
in northern Cameron and Willacy
counties last season. Willacy county
will probably plant . similar acre
age next season, but the acreage In
the unirrigated section Of Cameron
county Is expected TO be reduced ma.
terially.

Nv NORMAN Z. BROWN

Sammy Mandell, holder Of the
worlds lightweight title, has been
accused by fasteners Of being timid
about risking his title.
Sammy Mandell, westerner and
proud Of his home town Of Rock
ford, Ill, says that eastern pro-
moters want to play him for o
sucker.
"They want me to meet Terris or
n of the other good boys for
$50,000," says Sammy. "And know
that's not the price a championship
bout will draw"
Mandell rates Sid ferris and
Billy Wallace as the two outstand-
ing Observation-Disclosures contenders
for his tile. And says he's willing
to meet both. I.
"But the greatest fighter Of all
time, in my opinion, is, or rather
was, Jack Dempsey" says Sammy. Il
mean as far as fighting, tearing IN,
beating the other fellow down Is
concerned. l like clever boxing, but
you have TO admire the man who
a tear in like a tiger and batter
his opponent down.
when Dempsey was himself he
couldn't be hit, either. 1t wasn't
until he slowed up-until his legs
went back on him-that he started
taking them on the face and head.
what killed off Dempsey, how
ever, was that three-year layoff. No
one can stay away from the ring
that long and be himself when he
gets back. | laid aside my gloves for
three months on the advise of the
doctors when ! had trouble with my
side. and I didn't know my left hand
from my right when ! started work
ing again."
Mandell Is now waiting for COM
pletion Of arrangements for bouts in
Kansas City and Chicago. He doesn't
spend much time thinking about the
ring these days. however, as he re-
Gently became the proud papa Of a
boy.
And Richard Samuel Mandell Is
just the type Of son that any papa
would have about. Mandell senior
was taking the afternoon off TO wit
ness a football game when we met.
Which brought out the fact that he
once played high school basketball,
himself, finally giving il up because
Of his ring activities.
Mandell has unusually small hands
for eve a small fighter.
THAT doesn't make n differ
enc though" says Sammy, eff you
get them in there"
Mandell's last defense Of the light
weight title was n couple Of months
or so ago against Phil McGraw, in
Detroit, but the champ has had
plenty Of overweight and no de-
cision bouts.
Sammy laughs at reports that he
planned TO forsake the lightweight
ranks and become a w~elterweight.
He appears 20 be holding his weight
well, and points out that there is
more interest in the lightweight d.
vision-more good fellows 10 meet.

The fighting chance for Senator
johnson (R,) OF California, to win
his remarkable fight for enactment
Of the bill. lay In the possibility that
two-thirds Of the Senate will vote
for cloture on it in order to end
the filibuster.
Unless cloture is adopted, It was

The immediate conflict facing the
Senate as it met today was a
race between sponsors Of the new

Both groups were supporting mo-
