COACHES PUSH

College And High IFS In
Final Preparation For
=: Opening Games

Coach Douglas Fessenden will
push his Brownsville high gridders
rapidly ahead the early part of this
week In preparation for the Harlin-
gen game at that city Friday. Cal
Surtees will likewise bear down on
the Junior College Scorpions in
preparation for their game with
San Benito high Thursday after
noon.
Both squads are practically up to
full strength. The Eagles show in
dications Of being as strong as the
championship eleven Of last year.
The material Is there If Ii can be
worked into the the hair-trigger
machine that represented the locals
on the grid last season.
1t is probable that the following
backs will start against Harrington:
Full, Barnhart: quarter. Newman
and halves. Cabler and Grove. This
gives a fast combination that can
run, kick and pass and that is full
of trickA- Barnhart and Newman

The Eagle line, in its various
combinations. has held well in prac-
tice scrimmages. No definite ar
rangement has yet been settled. as
there are several boys making
strenuous bids for first string
berths. Sylvester and Perez will
probably start at ends. Tackles and

ing made. Candidates for these
berths are as follows: Cortez, Ben

been used at other positions IN

Surtees has a good squad. and
probabilities are that he will turn
out the best eleven that has ever
represented the Junior college. He
would like a bit more time, how
ever. before the San Benito game
as the boys are not In the best Of
condition.

Berries Without
Thorns Promised
Blackberries and Dewberries
Being Tested by Many
Scientists.
prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.l

prepared by tho United States Department
of Agriculture.l
Blackherries and dewberries without
thOrns has been a subject of interest
to plant breeders for a number of
years. Doubtless those who have
picked either of these fruits are in
sympathy with the efforts of the
scientists to eliminate the thorns, and
it now looks as if it were to be done,
according to George M. barrow of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture.
Two thornless varieties-the Cory
blackberry and the Austin thornless
dewberry-placed on the market in
recent years have met wiath fairly
good success. These thornless types
are adapted to certain southern local
tiles only.
Recent Developments.
One of the most recent develop
ments in the production Of thornless
fruits is the work of e. L. Pollard, q
fruit grower of California. In the
summer of 1928 he observed thornless
sports of the Young dewberry on his
place. He tested six of these this year
and all but one proved to be worth
less. The one exception proved to be
apparently as good in every way as
the original Young, and all propaga-
lions of this sort were thornless.
'The success of this grower in find
ing productive thornless sport of the
Young dewberry," says Mr.. barrow,
"calls attention to the desirability of
finding similar sports of the standard
blackberries of each section. All thorn
less sports should be propagated and
tested for their productiveness.
Many Advantages.
"Thornlessness in the dewberry is adj
vantageous not only in lowering the
cost of training. but what is more i'm
portant. also in reducing thorn injury
to the canes themselves Even greater
advantages might be obtained with
thornless Oregon Evergreen and Hima.

Investigations looking to the devel-
opment of thornless blackberries and
dewberries are now being conducted
by the department and by a number
of workers at state experiment sta
