GAMES
Be PLAYED AS
ON SCHEDULE
McAllen and Browns
vile Are to Forfeit
Claims to BIZ District
Title

MERCEDES. Nov. 24.-The Valley
high school football schedule will be
played out as originally made by the
coaches and other school officials.
and McAllen will meet San Benito as
scheduled, Thursday Of next week, il
was decided at a meeting or league
officials and coaches here today.
The agreement included the sign
ing OF a contract between Coach Jim
Dykes of the McAllen team, and
Head Coach Irvine Of the Brownsville
schools that the Brownsville and
McAllen teams would play out their
schedules as originally made, and
would both forfeit any right TO claim
the bi-district championship, or to
play for il.
Since San Benito has already de-
feated Robstown, the winner of the
other district title. the bi-district
championship is shorn Of most Of its
significance. hence the coaches felt
that they were not justified in NOV
ing up the Observation-Disclosures
game, to hurry a decision on the
Valley title. which still is a disputed
affair between Brownsville and Nc
Allen, the only remaining indicated
teams in the Valley.
If a change in the schedule, TO
decide the Valley title sooner, had
been decided upon. then McAllen
would probably have been on the
list next week against Brownsville,
instead Of San Benito.
Playing the schedules as origin
ally made will add more interest TO
the games scheduled with other Val
ley towns. with the title still at stake,
il was pointed out here.
When the MeAllen Bulldogs meet
San Benito next Thursday they will
be playing 10 uphold their record,
and their claims to the Valley title,
as a defeat at the hands Of the
Greyhounds would seriously cramp
McAllen's chances for the title. If
McAllen should be defeated by San
Benito and then defeat Brownsville.
San Bnito and Brownsville would
go into a tie for the title. as McAllen
has played one tie game-that with
Mission.
