DiNN UeFAiAt luN1 HhNt play NN
the football game Of Friday. over and
over. And will continue to do so for
many days to come.
Local fandom IS mighty proud Of
the high school eleven. Their vic
tory over San Benito stirred the fan
eied Imagination Of even the most
conservative fan. They like to talk
of Captain o'Bryan. and his great
playing at center Of Malcolm
Newman, wizard quarterback
OF Dan Barnhart and how the tore
through the San Benito line of
Olin Weller and his great thrusts off
tackle Of Perez. and his fine
exhibition until injured.
They like ~ ten NJ the great play
ing OF Carroll Grove at end. his beau
tiful tackiiug Of John Sylves-
ter on the other end. and the exhibit
tion he put UP in his first super

at tackle and how he played tho most
inspired game Of his career of
Clarence Bennett al the other tackle
and how he held his ground and

ity 70 plug his side Of the line
Of Frank C1rtez at the other guard
and how he turned back many q

But t1ere is another thing about

the substitutes on the bench. They
pulled for their buddies 70 fight. as
they never did before. And the APP
plause that greeted Placido Gonzales
as he took the injured Perez place.
meant a whole lot 20 this little man.
But the thing that has appealed to
writer at this time, Is the modest
way in which the boys OF Fessenden
have taken their victory. There il
none OF the braggadocio air about
them. They take the victory as just
another win. They realize. as does
F~essenden, that fhere is competition
ahead plenty Of ID.
To the v%ictors belong the spoils-
but the defeated eleven Of Coach
Morrison put up a game fight. They
didn't quit, Of course. They are not
that kind Of team. Morrison. un-
doubtedly was disappointed III the
showing Of his club, but he IL too
crafty a mentor and too fine a man
10 say other than that Brownsville
has the best club-and he did Just
that. Morrison congratulated Fes-
sender soon after the close Of the
game-and told him SO.
Win. lose or draw conference.-the
game goes on just the same. And
this weekend will see 4 number of
Valley elevcns in action.
On December ;, al Mercedes. an
All-N alley eleven will be picked.
in fact a couple of these kind of
clubs will be picked, so say l.. Il.

An announcement Of interest TO
Valley football fans. il that from
Marshall. Texas, concerning the
suspension Of Joel Hunt. coach of
the college there. from further du-
ties in the Junior College circuit
Of the state. II is alleged that
Hunt has been playing ineligible
men on his squad all season.
And that brings 10 mind the rUl-
ings on eligibility Of high school
players, Of whom there has been
many during this season. We believe
that the ineligibility penalty should,
in most cases. be inflicted on the
official who puts the boy into the
game. and the PLAYER in question is
told hat he is eligible, but is not.
