aeticn several times this season. and
il has been a pleasure to watch his
team in its clean tackling and block
ing and their clean and wholesome
playing as a whole.
We are, Of course, better acqpaint-
ed with the Brownsville Eagles and
their coach, Doug Fessenden. The
local mentor has impressed upon his
eleven the great ana fine spirit Of
clean playing, and the Eagles, every
one OF them have played as clean a
game as one would wish for. Fight
hard and Clean" seems to be their
motto. And so, when McAllen comes
to Brownsville Friday. fans may ex-
pect and will witness two we'll
coached, clean playing, well ground
ed football squads in action.
Coach Morrison Of San Benito will
lose 4 number Of players, both in the
line and backfield by graduation
next year. The G~reyhounds lose a
couple Of good tackles in Captain
McWilliams and Brooks; two guards,
Todd and Zumwaldt, and Center Car
ter. Phil Brady. Of whom a great
deal was expected this year. but was
injured ara not able to play in but
two or three quarters, will not be
available next year.
Welch. Horkman and Dodson,
backfield stars. will be lost. But
the coach will have Allen Carter and
III As.. Lnwt<s-Jl w.Irv.-
for the team next year. And then
another Welch, Roscoe, will be avail
able next year, as will Harwood
Smith, who played in the game
against McAllen last week. Alto
gether il looks like Morrison won't
suffer a great deal by lack Of ma
terial next year..
Robert Edgren, q noted sports
writer, and one who dotes on foot
ball doings. says that the team with
the best coach wins most Of the
games. He says: Two rival colleges
may be almost exactly equal in foot
ball spirit and football team mate
rial. but the one with the better coach
wins most Of the games"
That's true in practically all lines
Of sports, whereby a man is had rs
a director of play. In high school
football il is the same. Two evenly
matched teams of equal material,
and spirit, are playing, and the one
with the best coach generally wins.
And what makes the best coach. In
the writer's opinion, one Of the main
800 that Na.lnA- A. kAtAaa 1911
II the one who will create a spirit
OF teamwork on his club, and make
every player believe he is no better
than the lowliest sub on the bench.

on Dec. 20. between an All-South-
west conference eleven and an ALI
Texas conference team. Frank

You have heard the following song
any number OF times at football
games. as sung By school pupils and
pep squads, but do you know the
words. Well, here they are, il being
entitled. The Brownsville High
School Football Song"
when Brownsville high school
Eagles fall in line
We're going to win that game anoth-
err time
And for the high school that we love
so well
For the football team wen yell and
yell and yell
We're going TO fight, fight. fight,
for every score
Wen circle ends and then we'll gain
some more
We're going TO roll old McAllen IN
the sod beneath the sod
And fight, fight, fight.
Ii would be a good thing IL the
the spectators rs a whole would
learn the song and join in with the
school boys and girls in singing il.
