Especial 20 Inc herald
SAN BENITO, Nov. 1i.-Probably
the best team that has ever repre-.
sented the San Benito high school
on a football field will line up
against Brownsville on the Browns
vile field Friday afternoon in a foot
ball game that will draw the center
Of interest in the Valley. ard upon
which the Valley title will depend
largely.
For San Benito's team will be in
tact, 10 a man, and all Of the men
will Be in first class shape for the
fray.
The latest addition to the first
string lineup is Phil Brady. Brady
is a first string end. He weighs l6O
pounds, and is considered the hard
est hitting man on the team. He
broke a bone in his leg before n
first game of the season, and has not
played since until the La Feria game
here Monday afternoon.
In that game Brady demonstrated
that his leg has completely healed.
He adds much to the San Benito line
ii both defense and offensc, and will
prove an additional threat in kick
ing goal from placement.
The return of Brady to the team
has put the San Benito club intact
from end to end, with all the back
field men in the best Of shape.
Uninjured; Optimistic
Bud Adamson the galloping quar-
terback of the Greyhounds, is in fine
shape after having been III for a
week. Dodson. Horkman, WEIGH and
A. Carter came through the game
Monday without a scratch, and VIII
be ready to put everything into the
big game Of the season.
San Benito's hopes for a Valley IL
tie this year arc as bright as they
have ever been, in spite Of the conf
denee Of Brownsville, and the point
odds that are being given by Browns
willie people on the game.
In the backfield Coach Morrison
has a well rounded combination. He
has one of the shiftiest and most
capable broken field runners in the
state in Adamson. lie has one Of
the most dependable all-around men
in high school football in Dodson,
who can pass. punt, buck the line,
break up passes, and back up the
line.
Two fleet men on end runs and off
tackle thrusts are Welch and Hork-
man, who have been consistent gain
ers during the entire season, and IN
Carter Coach Morrison has n OF
those dependable line plungers who
is a pleasure to a coach and TO the
fans whenever a yard is needed for
a first down.
Line Not So Weak"
Then the line which is said by
Brownsville people to he San Benito's
weakness. The line which Coach
Morrison is throwing into the game
Friday against Brownsville j. made
up TO a large extent of young play
ers who are working for the first
time as regulars on the team. But
they have developed remarkably I'M
der the direction Of Coach Morrison,
Zumwalt and Todd are the guards
on the team. They have proved
stumbling blocks to any thrusts
through the San Benito line so far
this season. At center Is ID. Carter,
who has weight and endurance "a
back up his passing ability ard gen
eral headwork in the game.
San Benito has two big tackles in
Brooks and McWilliams. The latter
is captain of the San Benito team,
and is experienced in play, while
Brooks is playing his first year on
the regular team, but has done ex-
cellent work throughout the season,
The ends are well taken care OF
with the addition of Brady TO the
l.m.- -INE-.h sL.- AAn.waw.,F 80 ~
the team has been no weakness even
without him. Ammons and Pace
have played the end positions in a
fashion that made opposing teams
look for weaknesses in the center of
the line in games played so far this
season.
Attack is Mystery
Ammons and Pace probably will
both be used in the Brownsville
game, in addition to Brady, although
nothing definite has come from Coach
Morrison on this matter.
The kind Of an attack that San
Benito will use against Brownsville
is still somewhat Of a mystery. The
local team during the past two years
has gone far on the spin play, which
Coach Morrison has made almost a
part Of the offense of the team.
San Benito has opened up with
little in the way Of passes and fake
plays so far this season. But the
few attempts at passing have gained
ground.
The locals know that they will
have a fast moving forward passing
combination 10 fight when they meet
Brownsville, and they know that the
sweeping off-tackle brushes Of the
Brownsville team must be stopped il
San Benito IN 10 win.
Whatever the outcome. Valley fans
probably will be treated TO one OF
the most exciting and interesting
football contests Friday that the
Lower Rio Grande Valley has wit
messed in years.
San Benito will fling into the fray
her best team in years, and probably
the best she will have in several
years to come. rs many Of the play
ers on the team arc playing their
