McALLEN is ROUSED
BY COMING BATTLE

McALLEN. Dec. 4.-The North.
South. East and West have football
games which TO their minds are the
outstanding event in the world of
sport. The Lower Rio Grande VAL
lev, too. has its games and this year
all the games played between Valley
high schools will next Friday after
noon at Brownsville be massed into
one final struggle. with Brownsville
high team. conquerors Of all CAM
eron county teams and McAllen. the
undefeated Hidalgo county team en-
gaging in a battle for the football
championship in the Lower Rio
Grande Valley.
Reports emerging from the camps
Of both teams intimate the two
teams are busy solving the problem
of their own weakness. 10 is a
known fact McAllen is working hard
building up its line to ward off the
terrific offensive attack of the
Brownsville team. while reports
from Brownsville say that team in
working out a system Of plays TO be
used in an effort TO overcome the
near perfection" passing attack of
McAllen.
Led by Captain Bob O'Bryan,
vicious center Of the Brownsville
team, who in past games has been a
thorn in the side Of passcrs. every
effort will be made to stop the pass
ing Of Cara who is conceded to be
the best passer in the Valley con-
ference. In past games O'Bryan's
smashing plays and ability to crash
through his opponents line and
muss up plays has attracted the at
tention Of every Valley coach and
newspaper reporter.
McAllen will be in better condi-
ton for the Brownsville game than
il was when they played the strong
San Benito team. While NcAllen
was an easy victor in the game the
services Of the two Cox brothers
were missed by football fans. Dur
ing the game frequent calls went
from the rooters for the two players
to be put in the lineup but Coach
Dykes was taking no chances and
seeirg a victory in sight decided to
save the two boys for the Browns
Vile game.
MeAllen will take the field in ex-
cellent condition. All players are in
tip top shape with the exception Of
Cavazos. guard. who suffered a frac-
tured collar bone in the San Benito
game. The McAllen backfieId IS in
tact. the lire with the return of
Geno Cox being considerably
strengthened.
The town of McAllen is wild. Fv-
erywhere the conversation Is foot
ball. Local fans are going TO the
game in a body. A special train over
the Missouri Pacific has been char
tered and TO date over geo round
trip tickets have been sold. The to-
tai Is expected 10 reach 500. Hun
dreds Of people are going BY way Of
automobile and others will take the
bus line. The McAllen delegation
will he headed by the McAllen Mu-
nicipal band and the high school
pep squad. Arrangements have
been completed whereby all business
