Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-11-27

Between the non-appcaFaNCe o.
Lindbergh and the high school foot
ball club, Brownsville has and ~ re-
ceiving thousands Of dollars worth
of publicity over the country. IL
would be u good turn 20 Col. Lind
bergh IL the city would present him
a medal for the manner III which
his non-appearance has thrown the
spotlight on this city. And the best
way to show your appreciation toward
the local football eleven is to put
| your name on the "honor roll" OF
donors for the fund being raised by
George Bell to replenish 4 fast-di-
minishing athletic treasury Of the
Eagles.
We now have the "crums squad"
as Henry SHELTON, Jr., calls the more
or less amateur trap artists who
participated ID the American Legion
turkey shoot Saturday and Sunday
in this city. But there was a dark
horse" on one OF the above squads
which Shelton appends the "crum's
squad" On this particular squad
we're Henry SHELTON, Dutch kutsman
Franklin Graham and Breezy VIII
liams.
And the dark horse was no other
person than Franklin Graham, says
SHELTON. and thereby lies a tale. This
turkey shoot has been held each year
for the past few years by the Le-
gion Post and five trap artists take
part in each squad. and if he is the
kind Of shot he thinks he is, a tur-
key is his for the good score. But
on this squad Of Skeletons was 4
dark horse. A real shot. and as a
consequence Graham got the turkey,
and the others paid off.
R~obstown. the champs OF the class
Il, No. ~ district Of the intcr-scho-
Iastic league, wants Ia play the
Valley chapms. regardless of the
date il il settled, and will forfeit
their right to further state com
petition to battle the title winners
down here. This was the state
ment made by Robstown 10 Red
Irvine. local athletic director, yes
terday. So. il is possible that
Robstown will, in the near future,
have its desired opportunity.
The Cotton Pickers have a light
but fast eleven. They can pass and
run in great style. True, they were
beaten several weeks Z by San
Benito, but they gave the Grey
hounds n real battle all the way.
And another thing, there is a lot Of
good clean rivalry between Robs-
town and the Valley teams. and if
Brownsville wins the Valley title.
'twould be interesting TO witness
these two clubs in action. But in
the meantime let's hone Corpus
Christi high accepts a challenge for
a game down here recently made by
the Eagles.
Brownsville football fans who ex-
pect 10 attend the game in San Be-
nito Thanksgiving day between the
Greyhounds and McAllcn, are hoping
that Jimmie Dodson, the crack San
Benito back, will be in shape to
play. Dodson was hurt in the Mis-
sion game last week and at this
time it Is doubtful If the blond back
will be in the starting lineup. bod
son made a lot Of friends in this city
by his fine play against the Eagles.
Bill CabIer and "Tio" Samano,
members Of the Brownsville high
school squad in 1927, showed the
San Benito team some real run
ming and passing Of the plgskin
yesterday afternoon nc San Benito.
when, as members Of 4 bunch of
local school players taken q San
Benito by Red Irvine 10 scrimmage
the Greyhonnds. SamanO tossed
the ball 80. 40 and I5 yards with
ease, and Cabler was on the re-
ceiving end of many Of these
heaves and showed his heels Ia the
speedy San Rcni;o backs after re-
cciving the pirskin.
