We wormed an admission out Of
"Tookie" Shepherd. sports editor of
the Port Arthur News, that the Ea-
giles should have won. The breaks
were against Brownsvile-but that's
football too, you know" Shepherd
said. We didn't expect 20 win, al
though we knew we were going 20
make a supreme effort. The Jack
cts had had planty Of drilling on
Brownsville'S passing attack. You
can readily believe that from the
fact that the Eagles didn't complete
a single aerial toss"
Fhe Brownsville running attack
was not stopped at any time ex-
cept In the third quarter. Cabler. ct
ais. reeled up lots Of ground in the
mid-field section. They made five
first downs in the opening quar-
ter and four in the second. Port
Arthur made her first downs on
long runs and passes. The Eagles
on the other hand, were able to
hammer out first downs In a stead
fast, plugging manner. The Jackets
scored their first marker or a 30
yard sprint by Dominique, a 28-yard
dash by Barfield and a plunge by
the same gentleman. The other
marker was made on a long pass on

had held Staunchly on their l5-yard
line. Port Arthur's "a flashy, spec
tacular football while the Eagles
conservative, Both Brownsville
touchdowns were made after Sus-
tanned drives from about the 40
yard line.
SO far as that game Is concerned,
we'd rather not ear any mo about
It. It was the Eagles biggest shot.
in which they were nosed out by a
tumble on the one-yard line.
The Yellow Jackets have War
horse" Turner as much as anyone
else TO thank for their victory. Who
ever hung that handle on Turner
was apt at dashing out nicknames.
He was literally a warhorse against
the Eagles. A big portion Of Port
Arthur's tackles was made by this
husky gentleman. We were intro
duced to Turner before the game.
He is a likeable chap, not overly i'm
pressed with his own ability. Turn
er is acting captain Of the Yellow
Jackets.
Bobby O'Bryan ascribes bad passes
to punter TO the fact that Samano
stood further back than usual. The
Brownsville center asserts that
Turner did not use rough tactics on
him. The popular supposition in the
press box was that the bad passes
were caused by punishment being
dealt by Turner.
The All-Valley eleven will begin
actual practice this week at Merce-
des under the direction Of Coaches
Dutch" Rektorik of Harlingen and
I. "A. Martin Of WeSlaco. Consider
able interest is being shown in the
All-Valley squad. A hot fight for
posts in the starting lineup is ex-
pected to be staged BY the 80 squad
men. Cisco has already been select
ed as their opponents In the first
Battle Of Grapefruit" which will
be sta-ed at Brownsville New Years.
Can't help but ponder on what q
box office natural" a scrap be-
tween the All-Valley and Browns
vile would be.
