Frogs Drilled In
= Versatile Attack
By Coach Schmidt

FORT WORTH, March 22.-With
the Southwestern Exposition and
Fat Stock Show pass. Coach Francis
A. Schmidt, now Horned Frog grid
coach, has his full squad again for
spring football work.
The squad was badly shot to
pieces last week, with most of the
athletes working as gatemen and
guards at the show. With the re-
turn of his full squad. Schmidt will
enter his last week of spring work
at the Purple institution with re-
newed vigor, whipping his prospects
into the semblence of a team for his
work next fall.
Line Coach Raymond Wolf has
also been busy with his charges,
teaching stance, charging, pulling
out of the line and other funda-
mentals. The new Purple coaches
have not as yet definitely decided
upon a method of play, but it is
certain that the Frog team will
undergo a revolution.
Shifts have been made in the line
to add offensive power, especially
on the ends, and linemen are being
taught a shiftier. more versatile at
tack. From prospects this early in
the year. it would appear that the
Frogs will pack more offensive next
year than ever before. This is due
largely to the crack backfield flashes
who will be available for use next
year.

the makeup of the second squad
Of Giants, which will make a sep

nounced the lineup with the assur-
ance that the second team players
still had a chance to become regu-

He proved it by putting Andy Co.
hen on the squad. Andy is there
by special request Of Texas, his
home state, which wants to see him
in action as often as possible.

Rog Hornsby hit a home run
with the bases full in the Cubs
game Of March 9 against the Los
Angeles team, but it wasn't
enough to put his team over. If
you ask the Cubs why they lost
they'll tell you the umpire was to
blame. 1t rained during most of
the game and a movement was
made to call the same at the end
of five innings. However, Man
ager Krug of Los Angeles said

Cuerra-Ruiz 8-Round
Go Features Prelims

When Kid Guerra and Kid

lively, step into the ring Monday
night at the Fort Brown skating
rink arena, two Of the hardest
hitting boys in their class will face
each other. They are scheduled
to go 8 rounds, in one Of the pre-
liminaries Promoter Tex Becerril
has lined up for the card which
features the Pancho-Juarez 10
round go.
Ruiz is a veteran of the ring, al
though a young man. He has been
making his home in San Antonio
for the past 8 months, coming
to the states from Mexico City,

his home. He has fought the best
boys in that part of the state, and
in his fight Monday night at Mer-
cedes, when he knocked out Jesse
Sada in the fourth round, he
made a hit with the boxing fra
ternity by his battering attack.
Kid Guerra can take them on
the chin and come back-he has
done that. And he carries a chin
crusher that is dreaded by oppo-
nents. In Guerra's last fight here
with Kid Saenz of Mercedes, he
was floored twice by the stiff
punching Mercedes lad, and came
back to win the decision by a de-
cisive margin. Guerra'S home is
in San Benito.
