The Eagles play the highly touted
DePaul Academy prep school on the
local field Friday. December Il. Why
not make il a homecoming DAY
and game for all former high school
players and students OF Brownsville
high?. We believe it wouldn't be
amiss 70 dedicate the game to Coach
Fessenden and homecoming day.
Boxing fans are promised another
good ogra next Tuesday night by
Promoter Tex Becerril. The main
event calls for Homer Goodman and
Red Turner, two I52 pound boys. to
bang away at each other for q limit
ed I0-round schedule. And among
the other interesting bouts sched-
is the four-rcund 20 between Rober-
to H~inojosa Of Brownsville, and Bull
Young Of Fort Brown. HinojoSa is
the big boy Who rocked Morrows 10
sleep in the first round two weeks
past.
The bouts arc to be staged at the
Fort Brown skating rink, and n Of
the largest crowds eve to witness
boxing card here is expected to be on
hand. Promoter Becerril has put on
two cards at the rink, and they have
been pronounced the best ever put
on in this section by fans. True, the
promoter has had tough luck with
his main event bouts in both instan-
ees, but the prelimS have been the
best ever. and worth anybody's coin

Commenting on his selection our
friend Billy Walsh, says:
Il have seen all the Valley teams
in action, and in picking this team
! am doing it without the slightest
partiality being shown anyone just
because I happen 10 know him. The
Brownsville Eagles beat US fairly
and squarely.
Landry Is the greatest football
I player OF them all. Barnhart is also
a great f~ullback."
And Bill wakes hot over Landry
when he says, II actually believe he
could run up against an onrushina
passenger train and stop IL; he i.
the greatest rammer in the Valley
and on the defense he is the great.
est back ! ever saw
oh, boy' There Is Joy down deep
N the hearts Of many baseball
managers and pitchers today. And
Why There Is a possibility that
pitchers wont have to bat and run
bases; they will have another man
10 do that for them. II will he 2
ten-man club. That Is the propo-
sition that will be brought up al
the meeting of the National league
club owners in Chicago today.
President Heydler or the Nstiona
league is in favor of this rule in OF
der to speed up the game. II tn
rule passes it will not be necessar,
for some other player to bat and rur
for the pitcher. because some pitch
ers are pretty handy with the willow
made famous by Hillerich and Brads
| by. And it will speed up the game
