"A couple Of two-fisted fighters,
willing to mix it, can stand punish

the Fort Brown skating rink in this
city Wednesday night of this week,
in an eight round go, as the headlin-
or of what promises to be an inter

Ramon (Tex) Becerril Of Browns
Vile, assisted by Fort Brown authori-
ties.
These scrappers weigh 100 podnds.
Over in this corner is Young
Lencho and in the other Joe Villa
real. 11s-pound fighters, who will
settle a grudge, as a curtain raiser.
Lencho can take them On the chin,
and come back with a grin. He is
an aggressive scrapper and shoots
with his left hand the hardest. He
carries a knockout punch.
Joe Villareal has been anxious to
meet Lencho for a long time, says
Promoter Becerril. Nillareal says he
can stop Lencho's southpaw shoots
and give him the sleep producer"
with his right hand.
These boys will go four rounds.
There ought to be plenty Of action
when Kid Guerra and Joe Zepeda
meet. They weigh 135 pounds, and
have been anxious to meet each 9TH

And as a semi-final ROGUE Padron,
we'll known local fighter and baseball
player, will take on Joe Marroquin.
Mr.. Beccerril says Of these boys:
~Padron can sling leather as we'll
as he can catch a ball. He is an
aggressive fighter. In Joe Mario

Joe is known to nave a mean punch
in either hand and can take plenty
of punishment. These fellows weigh
$50 pounds
The preliminaries above will all be
four round affairs. Twenty-four
rounds Of boxing in all.
Promoter Becerril is expecting a
huge crowd for the fight program.
This is the beginning of what he be-
lieves will develop into an interest
ing semi-monthly affair. He hasn't
any high-priced fighters, and isn't
charging high prices. Eighty-five
and fifty-five cents.
These boys will give all they've
got" says Becerril. "And they have
plenty. Action is what / have told
them the public wants and that's
what every round will be-" continued
the genial promoter.
They will workout this afternoon
at the skating rink in the Fort, and
the public is invited TO come out and
see them in their preliminary prac-
tees, in polishing up their good con-
dition for the ong which sounds
at $3.50 o'clock Wednesday night for

San Benito were always scrapping
for the Valley title with the excep-

it didn't matter whether there was

Pictures Of the Texas S. ". L. grid
clash last Saturday were shown at
two Of the local theaters this week,
and it was revealed that Texas had
scored two touchdowns during the
game. One Of these touchdowns oc-
Cured during the early part of the
game when "Wild Bill" Ford recov-
cred ar S. NJ. U. tumble to run for a
touchdown, and the other in the last
few minutes Of the game with Texas
in possession Of the ball on the Mus
tangs' two yard line.
Slow motion pictures. Of the four
thrusts at the goal line clearly show
ed that on two occasions Captain Ru-
fus King had crossed the goal line.
Referee Boynton ruled that King hit
the top Of the line and was momen
tarily stopped; then he blew his
whistle and King rolled off across
the goal line.
There is no doubt in the minds of
all the fans who saw the game that
Texas had scored in these last few
precious minutes and though Referee
B~oynton's ruling might be correct,
the Texas warriors and a number Of
fans are under the impression that
the play was stopped too soon.
The pictures of the game were run
in slow motion before Coach Clyde

reported that he had declared that
Texas had scored two touchdowns,

night.
Cotton Square, where the governor
spoke, was jammed to capacity with
an enthusiastic audience which re-
sponded literally to the governors

Governor James L. Ferguson.
Governor Moody made four speeches
during the day, being stopped AT
Timpson enroute to Center for an un-

Moody reviewed the accomplish.
ments Of his administration, citing
especially improvement he said had
been brought about in highway mat.

appearance Of contracting firms who
secured road building contracts under
the former regime. and said the ores

Smouldering political fires of the
1926 Moody-Ferguson campaign
famed anew here Saturday night.
Introducing l.. j. Wardlaw, candi-
date for governor, former Governor
James F.. Ferguson hurled character
istic verbal shots at Governor Moody.
Ferguson stood on the same park
band stand where he closed the un-
successful campaign Of his wife, for
mer Governor Miriam A. Ferguson,
two years ago, amidst heckling and
confusion,
He called Governor Moody a "pro-
hibition hero" and declared the gov
ernor is running for reelection con
the shortcomings of a private citi-
zen." He referred to what he called
Moody's attempt 10 raise the issue of
Fergusonism again as he did in 1926.
This attempt he deduced from
Moody's references TO his support OF
Wardlaw.
Wardlaw, whom Ferguson intro
duced as the "tall sycamore from
West Texas" declared emphatically
that II elected governor. he would not
be controlled or directed BY "any man
or clique" He was cheered when he
said he did not "want the vote Of
any one who thinks anybody could
put a halter over my head and lead
me after being elected governor"
