Brownsville's crack high school

defeated this year, and has piled up
800 points 20 their opponents ?, are
down to n hard grind, a training pc
riod the last one in which they will
have, to prepare them for a Valley
game.
The eleven returned from Austin
Saturday morning where they wit
messed the Texas-A. a. NJ. game. and
lost NJ time in hieing themselves
to the stadium and limbering up.
McAllen will be their opponents
Friday, and By winning this game the
Eagles will have won the Valley title
for the first time in several years.
Doug Fessenden, coach, realizes his
club has a tough game with the Bull
dogs. and there will be no letup in
training until just prior to the Q n
test.
Break that passing attack Of Me-
Allen" is the slogan of local fan
dom. Fessenden secuted the game
in San BeRito last week, when the
Bulldogs shOwered footballs all over
the Greyhound field.
Every member OF the local squad
is in fine spirits and physical condi-
ton. Minor injuries to several play
ers have disappeared. and the Eagles
have resumed preparation for the
game in the same manner-if not q
little more-than those Of the past.

is a song Brownsville citizens have
often heard but never with the vim,

sung IN their WI home town next
Friday afternoon by hundreds Of
loyal followers Of the MeAilen foot

TO a peaceful morning but when the
Missouri Pacific special train from

citizenship will awake to the realiza-
ton that not only does their high
school face a strong competitor in
the McAller team but they as root
ers face a real organized McAllen

"A citizenship determined to dc or die

Citizens, men and women, school

leave McAilen making noise, con-
tinue that noise all down the Valley

Business men, professional men,
club women, civic organizations,

early Saturday morning selling rail-
road tickets good for the round trip.
The NJ. Il. railroad seemed to catch
the spirit of the town and went to
work and figured u a plan whereby
a special rate Of Sl.65 for the march
on Brownsville and return could be
granted. Tickets here and tickets
