Brownsville. Tex, Nov. 2. la19.
Dear Sir:
Being 2 newcomer to Brownsville
and an old football player with sat-
cral Years aft football under INV
brit. Y can't refrain from express
ING the impression the Brownsville
Eagles made on me when they
came AGAINST Breckenridge Friday
afternoon. which was the first op-
portunity I have had 10 see them
IN action.
about four weeks ago I asscci-
ated myself With a local company
and the first day I was in the Of
/ flee. IL heard the men talking about
tie Eagles. I soon learned tnat the
Eagles was the name given the To-
cal football team. Being an old
football player, ! became interest
ca.
AT this junction. I want to state
that l have seen some OF the best
football machines i'm the country m
action. + saw Red Grange when ne
was in the heighth Of his glory IN
every game he played at the UNI
vFrsitv Of Illinois. \ have seen
I Coach Stages famous Vineyard
1 Mccartney and that great football
machine in action. ! saw the Ar
my sind Navy 60 two years ago. and
I have had the pleasure Of having
seen that greatest Of al combina-
tions. -Four Horsemen of Metre
Dame several times. But. In All
the football that / have seen, 4
don't believe ] have seen more snap
pv or ~Cleverly executed forward
passing than the Eagles 10. tn fact.
they are good III al departments OF
the game. Their open field run
ming Is scintillHting and they are
q stellar combination defensively.
mo small amount Of the success
Of the football team lies In its
coach. The Eagles show that they
have had wonderful coaching. and
I want 20 congratulate the coach
and say that he is a real asset
to a city and q wonderful medium
III advertising, Sd In conclusion j
feel that the people Of Brownsville
have cause 80 be proud Of their
great football team. They are a fine
courageous bunch OF boys. Stay
with them and give them your
support at every opportunity"
