hamburg has a big and good foot
nail club. They are much heavier
than the local college squad. Prob
ably outweighing the locals fifteen
pounds TO the man. But the Scor-
pions went into the game to win
and they did. There were many
good sprints, tackling and blocking
and then some bad-but on the
whole it was one of the most inter-
esting contests local fandom has
witnessed in several years.
1t also, was the first game the
local college squad has played on the
Brownsville field and the first time
the Hidalgo county seat eleven has
played here.
One Of the features OF the game
was the tanner in which Scorpion
second-string men pulled for their
comrades TO win-snd to stay in there
without a substitute being made
and there wasn't a substitution by
Brownsville.
Quarterback RGxher marshalled
his Scorpions in as neat an exhibit
ton Of g~eneralship as has ever been
displayed in Brownsville. His kick
ing was excellent, and his heads-up
defensive work, and line plunging
ability was unquestioned.
Ceysnes, at left halfback, was a
power on the defense, breaking
through the Bronze lire and throwing
ball carriers for many losses.
Truett Roberts, halfback-the boy
who carried the pigskin over for the
score, played end on the defense.
From his halfbsck position he passed
in fine manner. and TO climax his
good work he received a pass from
Rasher that meant victory.
Firmin Taber, another backfield
Scorpion, at receiving passes and
tackling. wa good. At one time he
raced nearly 80 yards after receiving
q pass.
Harris at end played a half on the
defense. He came up many times
during the day and broke up many
plays, or caused them to turn into
the line.
Chick Horton at left tackle showed
the stuff Of which he has, and for
the first time this season he demon
st-ated that as q lineman he is one

charged through for many tackles.
he is q big boy.
RED" Aubrey at left guard-was
the boy who made possible the score.
As Roberts made the catch OF that
memorable pass, Autry blocked the
Edinburg safety man just as he was
about to tackle Roberts. Not only
that but Red" charged the big Ed
inburg line, and went through and
got many a Bronze.
Conley at right guard made pos
sible many gains By Rasher by his
fighting and uncanny ability to open
up holes.
Cuellar at right tackle showed
spectators just how the defense
should be played. He was the out
standing man on the field in this de-
partment. he diagnosed the plays
of the Brones 10 perfection, and very
few gains were made over his posi-
ton.
Schaefer at right end put up a
"swell game" This San Benito Il

only 1870 pounds-but every one OF
those pounds were in the game-and
