Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-12-05

The writer has seen Dykes boys in
action several times this season. and
II has been a pleasure 10 watch his
team in its clean tackling and block
ing and their clean and wholesome
playing rs a whole.
We are, of course, better %aeqpaint-
ed with the Brownsville Eagles and
their coach, Doug Fessenden. The
local mentor has impressed upon his
eleven the great and fine spirit Of
clean playing, and the Eagles, every
one Of them have played rs clean a
game as one would wish for. flight
hard and clean" seems to be their
motto. And so, when McAllen comes
TO Brownsville Friday. fans may ex-
pect and will witness two we'll
coached, clean playing, well ground
cd football squads in action.
Coach Morrison Of San Benito will
lose 4 number of players, both in the
line and backfield by graduation
next year. The Greyhounds lose u
couple Of good tackles in Captain
McWilliams and Brooks; two guards,
Todd and Zumwaldt, and Center Car
ter. Phil Brady, Of whom a. great
deal was expected this year, but was
injured and not able to play in but
two or three quarters, will not be
available next year.
Welch. Horkman and Dodson,
backfield stars, will be lost. But
the coach will have Allen Carter and
Bud Adamson as a backfield nucleus
for the team next year. And then
another Welch, Roscoe. will be avail
able next year, as will Harwood
Smith, who played in the game
against McAllen last week. Alto
gether il looks like Morrison won't
suffer a great deal by lack Of ma
terial next year.
Robert Edgren, a noted sports
writer, and one who dotes on foot
ball doings, says that the team with
the best coach wins most of the
games. He says: Two rival colleges
may be almost exactly equal in foot
ball spirit and football team mate
rial, but the one with the better coach
wins most OF the games
That's rue in practically all lines
Of sports, whereby a man is had as
q director Of play. In high school
football 1t is the same. Two evenly
matched teams Of equal material,
and spirit, are playing, and the one
with the bes: coach generally wins.
And what makes the best coach. In
the writer's opinion, one of the main
things that makes the better coach
is the one who will create a spirit
Of teamwork on his club, and make
every player believe he is no better
than the lowliest sub on the bench.
Fort Worth will be the site OF
the Shriners benefit football game
OF Dee. %, between an All-South-
west conference eleven and an ALI
Texas conference team. Frank
Bridges. coach of Simmons univer-
sity will head the All-Texas con-

You have heard the following song
any number Of times at football
games. as sung by school pupils and
pep squads. but do you know the
words. Well. here they are. IL being
entitled. The Brownsville High
School Football Song"
When Brownsville high school
Eagles fall in line
We're going to win that game anoth-
err time
And for the high school that we love
SO well
For the football team we'll yell and
yell and yell
We're going to fight, fight. fight,
for every score
Well circle ends and then we'll gain
some more
We're going TO roll old McAllen in

learn the song and join in with the
school boys and girls in singing it.
