crashed its way into football cham
pionships in two different places
Friday. Brownsville's doughty little
Junior high team added undying
fame to glory already achieved by
throwing back the attacks of Pal

Of the entire state. and San Benito
sailed forth and captured a contest
from the Robstown Cotton Pickers
BY a IL to z count. The latter af-
fair was for the title in the 10th
scholastic district.
Brownsville Saturday was slowly
settling back to a state of normalcy
following the wild outburst of en-
thusiasm over the local teams SEN
sational win from the invading
gridders.
In winning the Brownies rose 70
heights unaccustomed 10 them, used
as they are TO the lofty places. To
say that they covered themselves
with glory, would be gliding the lily
they had already wrapped them
selves in mantles Of il in the Santa
Rosa game, the Harlingen game. and
half a dozen other hard. bitter
struggles during the season.
The game, to the team was just
another hard situation. a bit harder
perhaps, than other hard situations
they have been forced to hurdle, and
recurring a little more TO get over.
To pick the outstanding individual
star OF the game would be a tough
and thankless job-there was no in
dividual star. "The close coopera-

Brownsville the victory and the
glory Of housing a state champion

One might write at length regard
ing the brilliant field generalship OF
little Placido Gonzales. quarterback
and captain; Of the speed and deeep-
tion of Sanchez: of the line-plung-
ing of Guess; the off-tackle thrusts
OF Baker: Of how the line played as
no other high school lire In the
Valley ever played, charging low and
literally lifting opponents from their
feet, but it would all be mere words
snd mere words can't describe the
classic that was unfolded out at the
High School stadium Friday after
noon.
The attendance was estimated at
between $500 and 1000 people, a
cheering, happy. delirious throng
that overflowed into the sidelines
after the stands had been filled, and
broke the ropes in 3 frenzied out
burst of enthusiasm near the close
OF the game. When the game dtd end
the special police were powerless 70
prevent that crowds swarming on
the field and bearing away Gonzales
on joyous shoulders.
The gate receipts amounted TO
more than $500, a profit of some
thing like $500 after all expenses Of
the visiting team had been paid.
Coach Red Irvine, Of the Brownies
was 4 wildly happy man at the con-
clusion of the contest. Both he and
l.. X. Barry, coach of the Panthers,
congratulated each other on the
sportsmanship and clean playing OF
the teams.
A love feast was indulged in BY
members Of both teams, when the
visiting team went TO the station 70
take its departure shortly after
o'clock Friday night. The entire
Brownsville squad was on hand TO
bid the visitors goodbye. and wish
them better luck next time.
Coach Barry stated that he had
no alibis "a offer; that his team had
met a smarter and better collection
Of gridmen. and that Brownsville
deserved full credit for winning the
game. 1.-The first touchdown was a
result Of u break, but good football
teams make their own breaks, and II
your boys hadn't been following the
bali Sanchez would not have made
his sensational run he told Irvine
at the train.
Barry was one of the first to reach
Irvine's side with outxtretched hand
and congratulations when the game
ended.
