SAN BENIT0, Sept. 2g.-This is
the story Of the rise and fall of q
football club that battled for three
periods on practically wen terms
!. with their opponents; this is the sto-
rs Of tho regeneration Of a backfield
that failed to function in the first
three periods; Of a great punt-and
Of the ultimate victory or San Benito
high school football eleven over the
Brownsville Junior college. played
here yesterday afternoon, before a
fair-sized crowd, on a muddy field.
The score was IL TO 0.
The Junior College Of Brownsville
seemed on the verge OF a touchdown
In the third quarter, and did make
one-but not lcgaliy-they were off
sides. And they ultimately faltered
before a la~st-Quarter attack Of the
San Benito eleven.
San Benito's backfield failed TO
function properly in the first three
periods, but in the last, began work
ing smoothly-which carried them TO
victory.
This was more or less Of a practice
game-but il was about the toughest
practice game either club viii ever
participate in again. The field was
muddy-but these two clubs fought
as il everything depended on the
outcome, and rs a result both squads
came out Of the fray in about twice
as good shape, both mentally and
physically, as before they went in.
Not a man was taken from the line
ups because of injury.
San Benito kicked off to start the
contest, and after q few tries at end
runs and line ~plunges, the Juniors
kicked to safety, and from then on
until the third quarter 1t was a bat
tie of punts, and hard tackling.
jamie Dodson lived up to expecta-
tions, when with the ball il midfield,
where it had been practically all
through the first three periods. got
off a beautiful and long-distance punt
that neared the Juniors goal line. On
the hex play Of the Ju~niors-they at
tempted to kick back 20 safety-they
fumbled, and Coach Morrison's elev-
en- made its first touchdown for the
1928 season. A try for points on a
kick failed.
Up to this time the interference
put up BY the Junior College wasn't
helping the ball carriers, whereas
as the game progressed the San Be-
nito interference was getting better.
Chick Horton at tackle and Re-"
Autry at guard for the Juniors played
one Of the best games ut those posi-
tions ever seen in the Valley. Espe-
cially good was the play Of Horton.
Ceyanes, Richardson and Rascher al
so looked good in the backfield for
the Brownsville college.
Earl Welch carried the offensive
burden Of the San Benito eleven for
almost the entire game, while Adam
son and Dodson, who entered the con
test in the second period, shone out.
San Benito started another plunge
for the goal line the last five minutes
Of play, with a short pass. Weleh TO
Adamson, who ran % yards, from
whence il was carried over the goal
line. as this play brought the pigskin
within a few yards Of the goal line.
IL wasn't a good game-insofar as
good games 60, but it was e spirited
one-a helpful contest for both clubs.
and both Coaches Morrison Of San
Benito and Plato Of Brownsville, ex-
pressed satisfaction with their clubs.
Every member Of both squads
showed up well at this stage Of the
season
Coach Morrison had Todd calling
signals from the line, but soon rush
ed Adamson in at quarterback.
Bob Myer at center was in on ev-
cry play. and he backed up the line
In wonderful style for the Junior
College.
Rasher was elected captain OF the
Brownsville squad just prior 70 the
game. and Taber was inserted az end
for the Juniors during the latter part
Of the game.
w Phil Brady. star end OF the San Be
nito eleven, did not participate in the
contest.
One of the largest crowds to wit
ness q game at this time Of the sea
son was on hand, and both pep squads
OF the schools made merry with their
yells.
