along the line OF Never enumerate
your hen fruit until the chantic-
leer's spouse breaks into her little
cackle act" Well, It's coed advice
although many people will tell you
there's no such thing as good" adj.
vice, no matter how well meant IL
may be. But that's beside the point.
What we're trying to say Is that
Sam Houston sprang a whale OF an
upset Saturday by defeating John
Reagan. favorite to win the Dis
trict No. z high school title. Conse-
quently Port Arthur automatically
fell heir to the district title.
Brownsville had counted her eggs
a little too soon. The local coaching
staff has been getting set for q tilt
with John Reagan. A pickup ele-
ven has been running Reagan plays
for the last week I'm order 70 give
the Eagles the proper scrimmage.
But we won't cry over spilled milk. j..
w. CRed) Irvine and his associates
also have secuted Port Arthur and
have their plays drawn UP In pretty
diagrams. The pickup eleven will
switch over 10 Port Arthur plays
Monday.
The Yellow Jackets have a strong
team. They have gone through an
~nndefeated season, rolling up size
able scores except on u occasion.
That time the San Jacs held them
to a tie. Up until the game Saturday
Port Arthur was given only an out
side chance, for it vas generally be-
lieved that the undefeated Reagan
eleven would take the Sam Houston
aggregation handily. The Reagan
Houston affair in the Bayou City
resembles the Breckenridge Main af-
fair in San Antonio. It's just a dog
fight when they get together, and
previous scores and performances
mean nothing. Brownsville represen-
tatives were In Houston Saturday
and made efforts to bring the bi-
district tilt here.
Now the state race has been COM
pletely finished SO far as ditrict play
Is concerned. Each OF the eight dis
tricts has an undisputed winner. In
case you have been lost out in the
woods somewhere. here are the win
ners once more: No. Amarillo,
No. 2-Breckenridge. No. 3-Central.
CIT. WORTH No. Waco. No. . Den
ton. No. 6-Marshall, No. Port
Arthur. No. S-Brownsville.
Here's the elimination process Gall
the children that have heard this
one may be dismissed if they will
leave the classroom quietly)
Brownsville VS.. Port Arthur: Mar
shall Us. Denton; Waco v 1. Central;
and Breckenridge VS.. Amarillo. Then
the winner OF the first tilt plays the
Of second; the winner OF the third
