JUNIOR HIGH
VISITS TODAY
Edinburg Is Target In
Grid Battle; Team
Undefeated

Brownsville's fast-traveling and
housekeeping junior high school foot
ball squad goes out of town for its
second away-from-home game of the
season Thursday afternoon, when 1t
visits Edinburg.
The local squad, undofeated and un-
scored upon so far this year, Is head
ed directly for the Valley junior
championship, adherents OF the ag-
gregation believe. Not only have the
juniors managed to retain their goal
line untarnished but they have run
up high scores against every team
they have faced so lar this year,
with the exception Of the junior Har-
lingen outfit. This team managed 10
keep the score down, by suburb de-
fensive play, but was unable 10 make
any Roadway against the defense of
the local aggregation.

Red Irvine thinks, he is taking his
team against what viii probably be
its hardest foe of the year. The long
drive to the up-Nalley Iity is sure to
have a bad effect on his Toys, he be-
lieves.
The team cannot leave here until
after class hours are over. and will
reach the field with little time for a
limberinH-up before the game starts.
About 20 of the first string men
will probably be taken up in cars,
Irvine said. He expects to use his
heavier boys for the duration of the
game, he stated. and send in substi-
tutes only when a man is hurt or
requires taking out for some other
reason.
Heretofore the second and even the
third teams have been used against
all Of the Brownsville foes with. the
exception of Harlingen. Edinburg.

The team that is to represent the
valley in the state interscholastic
grid tournament late in November
VIII probably be "~guessable" at the
conclusion of the play in Fridays
valley conference games.
The day will make the fifth of
play for the conference, and for the
past game or W the teams have
eeen dropping one after another out
OF the list of contenders. leaving 4
diminishing group gathered at the
top Of the standings.
The state tournament will be held
before the end of the Valley season,
and this section is admitted on con-
ditlon that the team with the high
est percentage when Thanksgiving
day IS reached be considered the rep
r~esentative. Number Of games played

teams are tied for the actual won
and lost figures.
Brownsville entertains its second
conference grid visitor here Friday
when the Mission team comes down
for a visit. The visitors have not
piled up a very impressive percent

one game out of four played, but
IN every game their opponents have
been distinctly aware Of being in q
contest.
Evenly Matched
In almost every game played the
Mission team has registered as many
first-downs as its opponents, only TO
weaken as it came within scoring
range.
The locals had n lay-off in the
competition last week, but have
managed TO keep in trim through
some hard practice sessions, includ-
ing two full-fledged games against
the army team from Fort Brown.
The Brownies have piled up a
creditable showing against the army,
holding their heavier and more ex-
perienced opponents right down TO
the minimum.
Guiding lights Of the grid situa-
tion here aren't making any predic-
tions concerning the outcome of
Fridays contest, but no one would
be surprised If Brownsville turned
in its second victory Of the year at
the expense Of the visitors.
The gam in the conference that
will probably kick up the most inter
