n putting the ball on the 5-yard line.
The Harrington line frightened, and
refused to give an inch, and Baker
then attempted TO pass on the Sec

IL pigskin was then brought back to the
2O-yard line, and Harlingen kicked
to safety.

ii Joe Biggs made some nice end
runs for the Red Ants during the
latter part of the game. until he was
&att out of the game by the referee
for abusive language.
Jimmy Lawrence, quarterback for
the Harrington team, played a really
.great game for the visitors. He was
Especially good on the defense, max
ing good tackles during the after
noon. and otherwise directing the
play OF his squad in a very good
manner.
The Fed Ants looked very sluggish
al the start of the contest, but as
the game wore on they perked up
and their offense began functioning
well. They kept the Harlingen boys
and their play became better, and in
the third quarter the Ants displayed
real fighting ability. but at the mo-
nent when il seemed as though they
we're due for a march to the goal, a
4 tumble or a rushing defense Of the
aBaby Cards" would send the ball
over. and then they would be on the
defense.
A couple Of hundred fans wit
messed the game. including fifteen or
more from Harlingen.
