Longoria, star Of last weeks game,
Samano, crack toe man and passer,
who also distinguished himself
against Harlingen were expected 10
find their way into the starting
lineup. Cobler, Davenport, quarter,
and Casey Jones, all showed well in
the first game, and were not expect
ed TO be under wraps after the open
ing whistle.
Coach Weir. of Edinburg, has
made no secret Of the fact that he
will be out to atone for the licking
has team took last week from San
Benito. The schedule does not call
for another meeting with that out
fit for n long. long while, but the
up-Nalley aggregation feels that this
end Of the Valley owes them a lot
Of blood, and they say they are
coming prepared to take it.
The Edinburg coach led a husky
locking collection of football ma
terial onto the field about half an
hour before game time, and prompt
ly set two teams running through
signals.
Edinburg Rooters in Force
A goodsized delegation Of loyal sup
porters came down with the visitors
and attempted 10 make up in noise
what they lacked in numbers. A
section OF the stand had been re-
served for them, but as game time
approached they swarmed onto the
field along with the local adherents,
and took their stand behind the
space occupied by their team.
San Benito had an open date on
the schedule and a majority OF her
players were to be seen mingling
with the crowd. They were down
here almost to q man TO scout the
Brownsville team in preparation for
the battle scheduled between the two
next week.
Harrington went over to Mission to
engage the representative team of
that place in a football struggle. Nc
Allen entertained Donna, and Pharr-
San Juan was the guest Of Mercedes.
Weslaco played her first game Of
the season against Raymondville, a
newcomer in the Valley conference
along with Pharr-San Juan. who
last week held Donna TO n 24-point
score and made three points her
self.
Stadium Ready
Final touches were put on the
field by a special crew Of workmen
during the morning, and by noon
the stadium was declared complete.
The last nail was driven into the
fence surrounding the field and the
last daub of paint was applied TO
the grandstand.
The stadium was started about
three weeks ago under the super
vision OF members of the school
board, who took upon themselves
the task Of attending to the con-
tracing end Of the enterprise.
A stand, seating approximately
1000 person. facing east and with
a roof and rain and sun guard on
the west side has been constructed
in that time together with a eve
foot board fence surrounding the
playing field. All was done by the
school board 1t an approximate cost
Of $500.
The playing field is composed of
soft earth. A heavy seeding Of grass
has beer put or the ground and is
just beginning to peep through.
In the event Of a heavy rain be-
fore game time. il was decided to
stage the contest at the Fort Brown
field IL permission could be obtained.
