football a part similar to that played
TO west coast football BY the Tour
nament Of Roses at Pasadena. Cali

tie Of Grapefruit at Brownsville.
The Loboes have been selected
from a. host Of Glass A high school
football teams to oppose an all-val-

game viii be q fair indication of the
character Of football as 1t is played
upstate In comparison with the char
acter Of the game played in the VAL
ley area. The Loboes are working
hard to uphold the prestige of their
section In the contest.
At Top Form
The Cisco boys will be at their
best when they meet the Rio G-ande
eleven. Not a versatile club as foot
ball teams 60, they have yet been
able to hold their own with credit
against some Of the strongest teams
In the state. They possess a running
attack above fair. In Whitehead,
diminutive half, and ChambliSs. his
more rangy mate, the Loboes have
two running backs who have exhi-
bited some stellar qualities during
the season Just past. In w. Miller.
l85-pounds Of power, they have a
veritable battering ram and a man
whose defensive work in backing a
line Is not excelled in high school
football In this section. Turknett is
the quarterback, small In size but
no slouch ct carrying the ball. He
runs his team with skill and smooth
ness.
Strong Line
But the real strength Of the Cisco
team Is In its line. IL Is well balanced
fast charging outfit with plenty Of
weight and aggressiveness. Ends are
Christian and Van Horn, with
Smith as alternate: tackles, Cole
and Wagnon; guards Black and r.
Miller: Center. Ray. Miller was pick
ed almost unanimously for the all
district oil belt selection while Cole,
Christian. w. Miller and Whitehead
were prominently mentioned.
The entire team will average
around l63 pounds with the line
Weighing about 1913 average.
W. B.. Chapman and w. l.. Hill are
the coaches. Chapman has been with
the Loboes since 1922 and it was un-
der his regime that the team attain
ed prominence in state race.
The Loboes win leave Cisco three
days before the contest Is scheduled
to take place reaching the Valley IN
time to work out q short while and
acciimate themselves to the condi-
