FANS give vent to their pent-up en-
thusiasm of Saturdays grid victory.
Edinburg has q big and good foot
ball club. They are much heavier
than the local college squad. Prob
ably outweighing the locals fifteen
pounds TO the mar. But the Seer
piens went into the game to win
and they did. There we're many

and then some bad-but on the

esting contests local fandom has
Witnessed in several ears.
IL also, was the frat game the
local college squad has played on the
Brownsville field and the frat time

played here.
One Of the features Of the game
was the tanner in which Scorpion
second-string men pulled for their

Brownsville.
Quarterback R&sher m~arshaiied
HE 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 uRquestioned.
Ceyanes, at left ~halfback, was a
power on the defense, breaking
through the Bronze line 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 hsifbaek position he passed
IN fine manner. and 10 climax his
good work he received a pass from
Rasher that meant victory.
Firmin Taber, another backfieId
Scorpion, at receiving passes ard
tackling, was good. At one time he
raced nearly 40 yards altar receiving
. pass.
Harris ut end played q half on the
defenBs. 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
strated that NJ q linernan he 10 one
Of the best in the Valley. He opened
up holes for charging backs, and
charged through for many tackles.
He Is . big boy.
Red Aubrey ut left guard-was
the boy who made possible the score.
As Roberts made the catch Of that
memorable pass, Autry blocked the
Edinburx safety mar just as he was
about 70 tackle Roberts. Not only
that but Red" charged the big Ed
inburg line, and went through and
got many q Bronze.

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. Ne diagnosed the plays
Of the Droncs to perfection, and very
few gains were made over his pesi-
ton.
Sehaefer ut right end put up a
swell game" This San Benito IN
swell game. San Benito boy, he weighs
only 100 pounds-but every one of
those pounds were In the game-and
combined with his neat headwork,
he displayed real football talent
And now we come 20 one Of the
best-if not the best center in south
Texss-Bob Myer. With plenty of
high school experience behind, and
big enough. and with the heart Of
n lion, and football instinet-Myer,
who was knocked "a by the Brones
in their first game-was but for re.
venge--and he got il. His taekline
and breaking up plays vas all that
could be wished for. and his passing
