Speaking of football

a 1OOGDd1 season O. CuS-
sic between the Brownsville Eagles
and the Harlingen Cards would be
hard to imagine. To Valley fans it
would be like a dish Of ham and
eggs without the ham. For a while
it appeared as though there would
be no game this year but the
school heads got together and
crashed through. The elevenS will
meet at Harrington September 81.
The Cardinals will be out to
deplume the Eagles. They al
ways have been but they will be
especially this year since Browns
vile has entered class "A" COM
petition. Even last year when
the Cards frittered away, they
came to Brownsville full of con-
fidence and were not whipped
until the final whistle sounded.
A fair amount of currency
changed hands on the deal.

operation on his weak wrist in San
Antonio. Dan was a concentrated
dose of poison to all Eagle oppon-
entS last year. This year, if he
gets his arm going again, he
should be an even greater threat.
In his earlier days, before the in
jury, he tossed passes half the
length of the field with ease. In
fact, Coach Doug Fessenden says
his passing was the first thing that
brought Dan to his attention. Dan
was then trying for a post on a
San Antonio high eleven.
Sidney Franklin, American
matador, is being hailed as a
hero by bull fight fans of Spain.
Franklin, who has performed in
the Matamoros bull ring, was Sc
verely gored in Seville Sunday.
He was taken from the ring to a
hospital for treatment. The
American returned after his
wounds were dressed and ran his
sword through the raging beasts
vitals. His return to the ring
was dramatic. Franklin returned
just as a second was being sub
stituted for him.
Those who saw Sidney perform
IN MatamoroS will recognize this as
a typical piece of his work. The
American killed two bulls and a
youthful amateur came out to slav
the third. His work was extremely
crude and he was unable to plunge
the sword through the animals
neck into its heart. Franklin be-
came disgusted with the amateurs
!ack OF success. He ran into the
pull, grabbing one Of its horns and
It's tail. The American held the
peaSt Tor the neophyte to kill.
Franklin formerly was a COM
merc1al artist and lived in Brook
lyn. He achieved a fair amount
OF success in this line. A steam
ship company had him 60 To
Mexico to do some pictures for
their advertising. While doing
this he became interested In hull
lighting. He was an amiabIe
chap and the bull fighters took
a liking to him. Franklin con-
flded them in his ambition to be-
come a bull. fighter. They took
MN In and taught him the
tricks of the trade. Now Frank

doris to be found in the Latin
countries.
