Rough Edges; Edin-

Next Friday
BY GENE MULHOLLAND

With the first dy of the 1927 foot
ball season a matter o. history,
coaches throughout the Valley on
ference were pointing gheir teams to
next Fridays games over the week
end.
Those of them who felt that their
team was not in first class condi-
ton were expected 70 give their
charges a light workout Sunday
following a day Of rest Saturday.
Tanning bees, bitter recrimina-
tions and rejoicing featured the ac-
tiyities footballically speaking in the
various towns whose representative
teams did battle on the gridiron Fri
day. Those who were victorious in
the trays spent the time building
air castles on battles for the coming
week, while the losers cast about for
the reasons why they were defeated
and set about taking steps to remedy
tn condition found.
Brownsville, Raymondville and
Edinburg were going at this particu-
larly strong, each Of their teams
having gone down to defeat. Coach
es at each of these places got their
gridsters together Saturday for long
discussions as TO how best make
amends for their showing and con-
structive steps were planned for
practice during the coming week.
Ready for Next
Mission and Mercedes, Pharr-San
Juan and McAllen, figuring in tie
games were content to rest on their
laurels and think about a hard week
Of practice TO come.
Harrington. San Benito and Donna,
viceors in Fridays excitement, went
elatedly forward with preparations
TO repeat these wins against differ
ent opposition next time. Weslaco,
left out Of the opening in the sched-
ule drawings, continued the hard
work Of the past few weeks, glad OF
the additional practice time, and
vowing defeat on their opposition to
| come.
All declare there will be n differ
| ent story to tell next Saturday. Each
team meets new opposition and San
Benito, victorious by the heaviest
score in Fridays play has the open
date.
Edinburg is entertained here next
Friday, Raymondville opens the sea-
son at Weslaco, Donna plays at Nc
Allen, and Pharr-San Juan goes TO
Mercedes.
Coach Frank Rubarth, of the local
aggregation, does not feel that his
| team was disgraced by the drubbing
ID took at the hands Of Harrington.
He has the idea that the boys were
beat as much by the last years repu-
tation OF the Cards as by the team
itself and feels that with the sup
port accorded the boys by the
Brownsville fans they will come
through to a glorious win over the
Edinburg team next week.
Locals Got Support
The support accorded the Browns
| Vile boys in the Harlingen game
was worthy OF something better
than a 25-13 loss. With a half holt
day at both senior and junior highs,
the faculty and student body attend
ed the game almost TO a person.
They were greatly augmented by 4
throng Of citizens Of the city to the
| tune Of approximately 1000.
Led by Miss Grace Harrison, one
| Of the senior high teachers, the
student body formed a cheering sec
ton equal to any ever to have at
tended a football game in the Val
ley. Despite the fact they were with
the visiting team the Brownsville
crowd made equally as much noise
in their roofing as did the locals.
Led by Miss Harrison approximate
ly 25 Of the high school girls took
the field between halves with a wild
snake-dance that brough both fac
