is a song Brownsville citizens have
often heard but never with the vim,

sung in their W home town next
Friday afternoon by hundreds OF
loyal followers OF the McAllen foot

10 a peaceful morning but when the
Missouri Pacific special train from
McAlle noisely rides into town, the
citizenship will awake to the realiza-
tion that not only does their high
school face a strong competitor in
the McAllen team but they as root
