McAllen and Brownsville are two
football clubs that will have dis
played their wares on the local grid
this season. hat know how TO play
the game of hard knockg-these
clubs are well grounded in the fun
damentals Of the game. Coach Jim
Dykes of McAllen and Douglas Fes-
sender of Brownsville have dotted on
teamwork: and in order to have that
great spirit. a team must know how
to tackle and block. The Bulldogs
and the Eagles do. They have prov
en- the two best clubs Ia this depart
ment in the Valley.
An offensive battle from beginning

Allen. with its great passing attack.
and Brownsville with its great line
thrusts and end runs with interior
ence par excellence. are expected 20
thrill spectators. who have watched
these clubs in action in games the
past season.

most accurate passcrs in the Valley (;

in Allen, Cox and Walsh. in the

McAllen is noted for its passing
ability. but don't forget that when
speed is plentiful in a backfield. as
il is on the Bulldo. team. there is
bound to be a running attack or
proportions. And Dykes club may
unloose a running attack against
the Eagles.
McAllen is outclassed by Browns
willie in its line. But then that
doesn't mean the Bulldogs are weak
in the forward wall. BY any means.
They are an aggressive wall. smart.
know how TO take out their man. and
work together.
Upon the shoulders az Malcolm.
regarded as the smartest and best
quarterback the Valley has seen in a
number Of years, rests the burden Of
directing the Eagles on its journey
against the Bulldogs. Newman has
proven a past master al directing
play, and especially IN q pinch. He
not only calls signals. but rs a ball
toter Of uneanny ability. His spin
plays through the center Of the line
have been the admiration OF fandom
this season. Big Dan Barnhart-
he hasn't been stopped this season.
is expected to charge a little harder
(if that Is possible) against the
McAllen team from his fullback pc
sition tomorrow afternoon. Dan inn
proves with each game. and he Is cN-
pected TO be in prime condition to-
morrow.
DIN Weller and Perez. other backs.
expected 20 start for the Eagles.
in the last few games, have proven
what Fessenden has contended all
season, that they will prove tive Of
the best backs in the Valley. Wei
Ter and Perez, on end runs, and Off
tackle thrusts. have been hard 20
stop. and in the San Benito game
n contest that meant SO much to the
local team-these boys starred from
start to finish.
And now We come TO that Browns
vile line-a forward wall that has
outplayed every opposing line so far
this season. Right in the center Of
the gray Eagle line. Is none other
than Captain Robert O'Bryan. great
center. O'Bryan has dealt misery
to every center he has lined Up
against this year: he has broken up
many plays behind the line OF scrim-
mage: he hasn't been stopped from
charging through and getting his
man as vet. McAllen will probably
center its attention on 0fBryan. cs-
