BY BISHOP
Herald Sports Editor.

Z" The gray Jerseyed Eagles
of the Brownsville high
school take on the Maroon
bedecked Greyhounds of
San Benito on the local field
tomorrow afternoon, at $3.50,
in what is expected will be
the grid classic of the season
in this part of South Texas.
Coach FEES S e n d e n of
Brownsville says his club IS
in fine shape, and Coach
Morrison of San Benito, also
is jubilant over the excellent
physical condition of his
club.
On the eve Of the battle both men
tors were silent in regard to predic-
tions. Both, however, expressed sat
isfaction that their boys would give
their best and hustle all the way
Il won't be long now-Just a lew
more hours, most OF it in darkness,
and the game fandom Of both cities
has been waiting, waiting-lmpa-
tiently at times-will start. Inc
n big gam of the year between
these two ~elevens in which pupils OF
the two schools are on edge.
Led by the Brownsville Bugle and
Drum corps Of the American Legion,
the Eagles will stride upon the field
and along with the Greyhounds Oh
San Benito on the opposite side, led
by the Municipal band of that CITY,
the of the clubs and bands
upon the field will present a college
like spectacle.
pep squads Of both cities will be
on hand, to cheer their favorites.
In addition to the Bugle corps, ST.
Joseph's band will also furnish mu-
sic.
Preparations have been made 70
handle the largest crowd Of the sea-
SON. with new bleachers being added
10 the high school stadium. There
is enough seating capacity at the
park now for forty-five huedred.
San Benito won from the Eagles
last Yea 25 to 10, after the locals
led 10 to 10 in tn efirst half.
The Eagles underwent their last
hard workout yesterday afternoon,
scrimmaging and running plays, and
light workout this afternoon, such
as q few jaunts around the park, VIII
wind I'D training. and F~essenden's
eleven will be ready for the contest
tomorrow.
The squad was showing a lot of
pep and dash yesterday-there was
n serious minded look on each face,
as he displayed his wares in scrim-
mage. The tackling was especially
vicious, and the coordination looks
excellent between ball carrier and
interference runners.
The line was charging low and fast
and they were bearing down. as
they realize they will have to against
San Benito.
Newman Grove, Barnhart and
Perez looked especially good in the
backfield workout. They were doing
things they never did before in con-
tests, and il is expected that the
Eagles will present a formation on
offense and defense that will carry
them far in the game.
John Sylvester, end. has improved
in leaps and bounds in the last two
weeks. and his play at that position
has been outstanding in the past few
games. He is big and strong, and
can scamper over the %gridiron.
The starting lineups of both teams
will be as follows:
Brownsville-Ends, Weller and Syl-
vester.
Tackles-Burns and Bennett.
Guards-Monsees and Cortez.
Center-0'Bryan.
Halves, Weller and Perez.
