The Eagles play the highly touted
DePaul Academy prep school on the
local field Friday. December Il. Why
not make il n homecoming day
and game for all former high school
players and students Of Brownsville
high? We believe it wouldn't be
amiss to dedicate the game TO Coach
Fessenden and homecoming day.
Boxing fans are promised another
good next Tuesday night by
Promoter Tex Becerril. The main
event calls for Homer Goodman and
Red Turner. two 1872 pound boys, 20
bang away at each other for 4 limit
cd 10-round schedule. And among
the other interesting bouts sched-
is the ~four-round 20 between Rober-
to Hinojosa Of Brownsville. and Bull
Young Of Fort Brown. Hinojosa j.
the big boy who rocked Morrows to
sleep in the first round two weeks
past.
The bouts are to be staged at the
Fort Brown skating rink, and n of
the largest crowds ever TO witness
boxing card here is expected to be On
hand. Promoter Becerril has put IN
two cards at the rink, and they have
been pronounced the best ever put
on in this section by fans. True, the
promoter has had tough luck with
his main event bouts IN both instan-
ces, but the prelims have been the
best ever, and worth anybody's coin.
