Lindbergh and the high school foot
ball club. Brownsville has and is re-
ceiving thousands of dollars worth
of publicity over the country. IL
would be a good turn TO Col. Lind
bergh if the city would present him
a medal for the manner in which
his non-apIearanoe has thrown the
spotlight on this city. And the best
way to show your appreciation toward
the local football eleven is to put
your name on the "honor roll" Of
donors for the fund being raised BY
| George Bell to replenish a fast-di-
minishing athletic treasury Of the
Eagles.
We now have the ''crums squad
as Henry Shelton, Jr., calls the more
or less amateur tap artists who
participated in the American Legion
turkey shoot Saturday and Sunday
in this city. But there was a dark
horse" on of the above squads
which SHELTON appends the "crum's
squad On this particular squad
were Henry SHELTON, Dutch katsman
Franklin Graham and Breezy VIII
liams.
And the dark horse was no other
person than Franklin Graham, says
SHELTON, and thereby lies a tale. This
turkey shoot has been held each year
for tho past few years by the Lc-
gion Post and five trap artists take
part in each squad. and II he Is the
kind Of shot he thinks he is. a tur-
key Is his for the good score. But
on this squad of Skeletons was a
dark horse. A real shot, and As a
consequence Graham got the turkey,
and the others paid off.
Robstown. the champs Of the class
b, No. u district of the Intcr-scho-
Iastic league. wants TO play the
Valley chapms, regardless of the
date IL Is settled, and will forfeit
their right TO further state COM
petition To battle the title winners
down here. This was the state
ment made by R%obstown 10 Red
Irvine. local athletic director, yes
terday. So. il is possible that
Robstown will, in the near future,
nave its desired opportunity.
The Cotton Pickers have a light

run in great style. True, they were
beaten several weeks ago By San
Bcnito, but they gave the Grey
hounds a real battle all the way.
And another thing, there Is q Tot az
good clean rivalry between Robs-
town and the Valley teams. and If
Brownsville wins the Valley title,
'twould be interesting to witness
these two clubs in action. But in
the meantime let's hope Corpus
Christi high accepts a challenge for
a game down here recently made by
the Eagles.
Brownsville football fans who ex-
pect to attend the game in San Be-
nito Thanksgiving day between the
Greyhounds and McAllcn, are hoping
that Jimmie Dodson, the crack San
Benito back, will be in shape TO
play. Dodson was hurt in the Mis-
sion game last week and at this
time it is doubtful If the blond back
will be in the starting lineup. bod
son made a lot of friends in this city
by his fine play against the Eagles.
Bill Cab!er and "Tio" Samano,
members of the Brownsville high
school squad in 1927, showed the
