Bonnie Strickland's champion high
school football eleven will be in
Brownsville next Thursday to give
battle TO Coach Douglas F~essenden's
Brownsville high school Eagles.
True 70 his announced purpose of
giving Brownsville some good teams
and games, Athletic Director Irvine
closed the deal for Alamo Heights
to play here next Thursday on We'd
nesday Of this week. MIR. Irvine has
been trying for several weeks to
bring some well-known squad here
fer next weekend, as on that date
the Eagles are not scheduled to play
a Valley eleven, and his efforts were
rewarded when the Heights club was
secured.
The biggest crowd that ever wit
messed a football game in Brownsville
and the Valley, too, is expected to
turn out for the game. In San An
tonic the Alamo Heights club is re-
garded as the best that city has
and has had for several years. The
locals are developing into the best
machine Brownsville has had in
many years.
IL will be a gala day for Valley
football-and one of the best games
of the season.
Brownsville has one of the largest
high school stadiums in the state.
and an excellent playing field. The
grandstand will hold approximately
fifteen hundred, and bleachers will
probably be in readiness for the
game.

champions Of their class, have under

OF training this club has experienced
so far this year. The coach was not
very well satisfied with the playing
or rather the teamwork Of his club
Of last Thursday at FL Jardin. and
has been correcting those faults this
week.
The Ants suffered a loss when
M Of its members, Emile Kowalski,
end, injured his knee during the
game, and hasn't been able to a
tice this week, and will probably be
out Of the lineup for several weeks

plenty speedy. has Joined the club,
and looks good, and has added a lot
Of power in the baeKfield at fullback.
Joe Biggs, who has been ineligible
for the last three weeks, is now in
harness, having made his grades, and
Connally has him at quarter. Joe
IN his several workouts this week
seems TO be the very man the coach
needs, a quarterback.
Connally is well pleased with the
clubs showing this week in scrim-
IMAGES, and the Ants are beginning
TO take on the appearance of the
s~crapping little outfit Of last year.
They will play every junior high
team in the Valley they can match
games with, Connally said yesterday

the leadif & elevens will be going

of the Brownsville high, go out of

The locals are in excellent shape;
they look good, and have improved

put them on edge.
Coach Fessenden has been work
ing Charlie Champion in the back
field in scrimmages this week, and
the young man looks like a conner
He is fast and takes hold of his task
in agreeable style.
Practically the same lineup that
started against La Feria will go up
against the Mercedes Tigers. Coach
Kitchens crew hasn't shown much
strength yet, but observers declare
there is a lot Of power in the Tiger
team, and that when it gets going,
it is going to be a club to surprise
the most pessimistic fans anent that
squad.

There is power in the Eagle line
-Fessenden has worked hard, and
the coordination between the line
and the backs is one of the rewards
of his tutoring.
The club will leave about noon to-
morrow for the Tiger camp. The
pep squad will be on hand from
Brownsville and many local fans
will probably accompany the team.
Ezell Darby, former San Benito
high school football star, now coach
of the Donna eleven, brings his Red
skins to Earl Morrison's camp for a
game with the Greyhounds. San Be-

FAYETTEVILLE. Ark. Oct. IL
Rl-Irresistable force will meet the
~immovable object and one will have
to give way when Arkansas and Bay
lor universities clash in their an
nual football game at Texarkana on
October IS.
The irresistible force will be Bay

Der Of vslich has had experience at
end. Louis Paradeaux at center was
formerly an end. Koch and Winton
at guards were both wingmen on

and Morris who lettered nj end last
year are this year performing at
tackle. Lewter and Lucas are two
big and fast men who are playing
the wing positions this year, and
Douglas, a newcomer. is faster than
either.
Against this array of speed in the
Baylor line. the Razorbacks vill pre-
sent a forward wall Of considerable
bulk. Whether the Bears will be
able TO ~outcharge Coach Schmidt's
huskies remains to be seen.

THE USE OF ISLANDS 2

Here's a little "prize essay" from the "By-P Products" column of the. New York Times:
 Islands are very useful. The Ger man and Irish fiers found Greenly island useful, and Captain Wilkins found Dead Mans island useful. Greenly island is nea Labador and is chiefly inhabited by lighthouse keepe and his family, who will have to go very easy on their meals after all the visitors have departed. Dead Mans island is near :. Spitzbergen. which the Norwegians have renamed Syalbard, thus adding to. the cost of cable tolls. The fiers are coming to Manhattan island, which is auother very useful island for fliers. Mayor Walker is always taking off from Manhattan. island and returning thither. Manhattan island is fifteen miles long, but it cannot-be. used for runway, because every fifty yards the gas company is taking up the pipes. Christopher Columbus landed on San Salvador island, :, and even when he reached the American conti- nent he thought it was an island, such is the prejudice of navigators, whether by-se or air, in favor of l islands. Manhattan island was bought from the Indians for SPA. If the h.
