By Bishop Clements

Station KWwG, Brownsville's
broadcasting station, with Fred La
than in charge. is doing some fine
work for the high school football
team in b~roadcasting the games
played on the local field. The fol-
lowing letter was received by Mr..
Latham. several days ago in regard
to the San Benito-Brownsville game
Of last Friday. from r. II. Dorman
of Orange, Texas:
81 greatly enjoy your broadcast of
the Brownsville football games. May
they come thru winners. With this
great quarterback ! don't see how
it can be otherwise"

Rulings in regard to eligibility and
ineligibility are in the air these
days. Did you ever hear Of as many
boys being ruled ineligible from
further participation in football
games as this year? San Antonio
schools have had many games thrown
because of playing an ineligible
man. And the latest is Corpus
Christi-every game they played vas
thrown out because a boy named
Gray who had played IN every game
so far this season was found TO be
ineligible. Clyde Pratt, coach, must
be pulling his hair these days.
And Joel Hunt. the former Texas
Aggie star. coach at a college of
Marshall, Texas, vas ruled out of
the conference as a coach by that
league, because Hunt had on his club
several ineligible players. Remem-
Der when Hunt was in the hey-day
Of his career last year, il was re-
ported that he was to attend West
Point after leaving A.. & NJ. Il is
the belief Of the writer that Hunt
regrets very much that he didn't 80

military academy.
Football games are coming thick
and fast these days in the Valley.
Give these Valley coaches a few
hours time, and they will have their
teams on the field playing. Il didn't

Friday Contest In FL
Jardin Will Have
Important Bearing
On Rural Champs

The FL Jardin high school football
team will play the strong Santa
Rosa club Friday at FL Jardin at Z
o'clock. The game has an impor.
TAM bearing on the rural high pen
nant. Ell Jardin has not lost a rural
nigh game so far, and the Comets If
successful in this contest, will re-
main the only indicated team
among the rural schools OF the coun.
~.
Santa Rosa has a strong and hea-
w club which has played some Of
the first class teams Of the Valley,
including Brownsville senior high
and La Feria.
In her contests Ell Jardin this year
has defeated Stuart Place 10 to 0,
n played them a tie 8 to s.; has
defeated Lyford 10 to 6, Brownsville
junior high S to o.. The first game
OF the season, however. FL Jardin
lost to the Brownsville juniors 6 to
o, the only game lost by FL Jardin,
but this game has no bearing on the
rural championship.
Coach Burwell OF Santa Rosa has
been fairly successful with his club
this year. Last week his team tied
the Rio Hondo club.
Ritchey has been coaching in the
FL Jardin school for the past three
years. Last year he started RI Jar
din's first football club, which lost
only two games during the season

high, champions Of the state. This
year he has had only twelve men on
his entire squad.
The team has been working hard
this week to round into shape for the
game with Santa Rosa, which they
know to be the hardest Of the season
for them, Coach Ritchey says.
Coach Ritchey Of FL Jardin is a
graduate of the University Of Tex
