No coming football game between
the ancient rivals, San Benito and
Brownsville high schools. is drawing
as much interest as the battle of
Friday week, in this city.
In doping out or trying to. at least,
it is a very hard matter to be cor
rect on any athletic club-and es-
pecially 50 on high school football
elevens.
The majority Of fans are too prone
to criticize high school players. Re-
| member they are Just kids-and We
contend they are not expected to do
the right thing at the right time al
ways. A too harsh criticism hurled
at one Of these kids because Of a
mistake on his part Of judgment, may
ruin his career as a player.
As long as the players hustle. are
loyal TO their coach. why then, there
shouldn't be any kick. Some players
are better than others, individually,
because they possess. say more speed
Others have that all important as
set, called football instinct"

One Of the annual classics Of the

IS the Kansas Missouri struggle
which has a traditional BACKGROUND
extending over many decades.
This series has produced many in
dividual stars, but none of more bril-
liancy than Allan Lincoln, the 100
pound fullback who personally was
responsible for the big surprise of
1920 when the Tigers rose up to de-
feat the Jayhawkers, 10 20 Z. when
odds we're as high as three to one
against Them.
Lincoln, playing his first season
with the varsity. tore through the
big kansas line for a total Of pos
yards gained, one of the most re-
markable solo performances Of this
or any season. Where the other
backs were stopped Lincoln was ir-
reSistible.
On y occasion Lincoln raced 50
yards after a kick. On another he
tore around the end for "a yards. He
drop kicked a goal from a difficult
angle and threw passes with su-h
success that two Of them led To
t~ouchdowns.

Some appre hension was felt for farms adja- cent to the river banks between Gilman and Barnet but the farm CTS had been on the alert for two days because of the flooded con dition due to the unreasonable warmth and many had removed their household goods and live stock.
