oem will get another look at the
brownsville Eagles in action. This
.ime their opponents will be the
donna Redskins.
Coach Fessenden Of Brownsville
mas put his men through a strenuous
workout this week, and there is a
iot Of pep, and no over-confidence
spirit apparent on the part Of the To-
cal squad as an aftermath Of the
game Of last week in which the
Eagles overwhelmed the San Anto-
Mo city champs.

and quarterback, ready 20 play after
q weeks layoff due to injuries, the
boys Of Daley will be ready TO give

a hectic afternoon. Bill Cabier
plunged the Donna line time and
again in the last period Of the
contest to bring victory.
Last year was Dailey's first as
mentor of the Donna squad. He de-
veloped M of the best charging lines
for its size in the Valley. They are
improved this season, and the line
battle between the Reds and Eagles
will be a feature of the game here

that Is adept ut forward passes, and
the game may develop into a battle

forward pass attack all to them
selves, also.

good shape. both mentally and ply
sically, and their workouts this week
have demonstrated they are full of
confidence. A noticeable attribute
Of the locals has been the manner
in which they have responded to the
pointed out mistakes by Fessenden
which the Eagles made during the
Alamo Heights contest of last week.

fundamentals in the nth degree.
