A writer in each city represented
In the two major leagues has mail
ed a rating OF the most valuable
players as he sees them TO league
HEADQUARTERS and the one named as
the head man will get 81 1000 and
have his name placed On the honor
roll.
Many suggestions have been made
OF players in the two leagues worthy
Of honor but three in each league
seem to be leading in advance cal
c~ulations. Waite Hoyt's pitching
was q big factor in the winning OF
the Yankees third successive PEN
nant. and while pitchers are in the
the minority in the official hall Of
fame. one in each league has been
honored. Walter Johnson in the
American and Dairy Vance in the
National. Babe Ruth and Lou Geh-
rig are ineligible since they have
won II and the American league
rules do not permit encores. An
other favored candidate is Harry
Manush of the st. Louis Browns.

Cardinals and Hughie Critz OF the

Feria has his squad on edge for the
fray. The La Feria boys gained a
lot of experience against the Browns
vile club in their game Of last Fri
day.
Coach Martin Of W~eslaco will have
his hands full if his club is turn
back the scrapping eleven from San
Juan-Pharr-Alamo. Coach Emery has
injected a spirit into the eleven frcm
the triplet cities, that has the Valley
fans talking. Last year this club
was sluggish. and didn't win many
games, but they are a different out
fit this season, and will give any
club in the Valley a battle for hon
ors.
The schedule has Mission with an
open date.
Now we come q what is regarded
as the most important, and as u con-
sequence, the most interesting gam
OF the season, so far. Edinburg and
McAllen. Coach Weir has his Cats
in a scratching mood, and Coach
Dykes Of the McAllen Bulldogs has
his club primed to resist the snarl-
ing Cats. McAllen has, what Is be-
lieved, one Of the best clubs ever 10
walk on a Valley high school grid
iron. Edinburg has the speed 10
match that of the Bulldogs, and
their line is lighter than Dykes but
in games the last two weeks, these
Cats have shown an uncanny knack
Of drifting through opposing lines
and mailing their opponents. It Is
looked upon as one Of the big tussles
of the season, and a large crowd is
expected.

Ants Are Perked
Up By Newcomers

Coach Webb Connally's Junior
high school Red Ants, state football
champions Of their class, have under
gone one Of the most strenuous weeks
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 IL Jardin. and
has been correcting those faults this
week.
The Ants suffered a loss when
one Of its members, Emile Kowalski,
end, injured his knee during the
game, and hasn't been able to prac-
tice this week, and will probably be
out of the lineup for several weeks
70 come. But Joe Cara, a big boy,
plenty speedy, has Joined the club,
and looks good, and has added a lot
of power in the baexfield at fullbaek.
Joe Biggs, who HAS been ineligible
for the last three weeks, is now in
harness, having made his grades, and
Connally has him zt quarter. Joe
IN his several workouts this week
seems 10 be the very man the coach
needs, a quarterback.
Connally is we'll pleased with the
clubs showing this week in scrim-
IMAGES, and the Ants are beginning
to take on the appearance of the
scrapping little outfit of last year.
They will play every junior high
team in the Valley they can match
games with, Connally said yesterday
afternoon.

Large Turnout
Is Expected At
S. A. Game Here
Heights is coming,

Alamo Heights is coming!
Bonnie S~trickland's champion high
school football eleven will be In
Brownsville next Thursday TO give
battle to Coach Douglas ~Fessenden's
Brownsville high school Eagles.
True TO his announced purpose Of
giving Brownsville some good cams
and games, Athletic Director Irvine
closed the deal for Alamo Heights
q play here next Thursday on We'd
nesday of this week. Mr.. Irvine has
been trying for several weeks to
bring some well-known squad here
for 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 10
urn 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.
1t 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.

VALLEY TEAMS
SETTLE GRID
ROWS FRIDAY
Play Mercedes;
McAllen Will Take
On Edinburg; Cards
To Hit Kingsville

Valley high school football elevens
open their second journey for the
title tomorrow afternoon, when ev-
cry squad in the Valley gets into
action.
The schedule is as follows:
Brownsville at Mercedes.
Donna at San Benito.
Kingsville at Harlingen.
La Feria at Santa Rosa.
Pharr-San Juan-Alamo at Weslaco.
Edinburg mt McAllen.
Coach Douglas F~essenden's Eagles
Of the Brownsville high, go out Of
town for its first tilt OF the season.
The locals are in excellent shape;
they look good, and have improved
during the past week of practice.
The La Feria game was the very
"tonic" they need, say partisans, TO
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 60 up
against the Mercedes Tigers. Coach
Kitchens crew hasn't shown much
strength vet, 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.
Newman, quarterback, is looking
better each day, and wild-eyed fans,
locally, proclaim him the best quar-
ter Brownsville has had in many
years. He is fast, a regular "phan-
TOM" and the Eagles have not had
an experienced quarterback in To-
these many years, and this fellow is
making good.
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-
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-
nito has a heavier team, and a more
experienced squad, but Donna has a
to scrap all the way. and
as the "~underdog," they will
fight the ~Greyhounds from start to
finish.
Coach Denton's Cardinals Of Har-
lingen take on the Kingsville high
club, the Mavericks. This will be
second game between inter-lea~ue
clubs. McAllen having played Alice
last Friday, and the Cardinals are
expecting to uphold Valley prestige
in whipping the Mavericks.
A real tussle between La Feria and
Santa Rosa is expected when these
two clubs lineup at Santa Rosa to-
morrow. Coach Burwell Of the Plow-
boys has been pointing his team for
this game, and Coach Holmes Of La
