BEN EPSTEIN
WARNS EAGLES
Locals Need Not Consider
Harrington Game 'Setup'
Vet Fan Declares

Ben Epstein, assiduous follower
Of the Harrington high football
team, rises up to shake a warning
finger at Brownsville. Ben says, in
effect, that if Brownsville is con-
sidering its game with the Card
inals in the light of a "set-up"
they might just as we'll get that
foolish notion out of their head
right away. Ben's letter follows:
The Harlingen-BroWnsville foot
ball game seems to be receiving a
lot Of publicity in your column
even though the game and the sea-
son are about three months off.
Judging by the tone Of your
sayings and the general view of the
game in Brownsville, you folks seem
to look forward to it as a sort Of
good preliminary workout for the
Eagles in preparation for the
hard" games ahead of them.
well, it may be-and then again,
it may not be. Anyone that has
followed football in the Valley as
close as I have, and Harrington
Brownsville games in particular,
knows that any game between
these two teams can never be con-
sidered a set-up for either side,
more especially the coming game
that will usher the season in for
both.
The Valley as a whole is en-
tirely satisfied that the Eagles
loom UP as the class Of the circuit.
AS a matter of fact, they are SO
good that certain members of the
team have been known to admit it
themselves.
However, bear this in mind: A
Cardinal team is NEVER beaten
until the referee blows the final
whistle. The Cardinals now have
one Of the 'ablest young coaches
that eve adopted coaching as a
profession. They have a nucleus
OF twelve letter men from a team
that should have been up there
fighting for the top instead of
winding up Gisorganized as it did.
They have a renewed fighting spirit
that will mean a lot in their fight
TO regain their lost prestige, and
write this down in your little note
book-they have added two Of the
greatest backfield men that ever
carried a pigskin for Paul Tyson, to
their roster.
Personally, 1 believe that Dutch
Rekterik, the new Cardinal boss,
slipped one over on Red and
Doug by getting the Eagles for
the opening game. It's a cinch that
he will have his Cards ready for
that game but it would be folly
for Doug to have his Eagles
primed for it in view Of the sched-
ule ahead Of them. Think that
over and refer to it about Septem-

The foreign minister announced
the German position at meeting

Great Britain between 10 and 80 per
cent Of the demands set forth by
Philip Snowden, British chancellor

This agreement was tentative,

asked to make another sacrifice In
order to facilitate an accord among
the creditors as to the distribution

AMERICAN CAVALRY OFFICERS
VIEW FAR EAST SKIRMISE1I HING
AS DEFENSE OF THEIR BRANCH
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Speak-
Ing CT cavalry, perhaps newspaper
readers have noticed that mounted
troops figure considerably In ac-
counts Of recent skirmishes between
Russians and Chinese on the Man
churian border.
Filling stations are scarce in that
part OF the world, but it is prai-
rie country. where lots OF grass
grows, for horses TO eat.
Trust all the cavalry officers in
Washington to be calling everyone
attention to this state Of affairs N
the far east. From their stand
point IL seems mighty timely, con-
sidering broad hints they have
overheard lately that modern war
fare has no use at all for their
branch Of the service.
I'VE told you So" they exclaim.
Whenever fighting starts in one Of
the great open spaces, like our
own ex-wiid west, back comes the
old-fashioned cavalryman into his
own"
If 1t develops, it will be an in
teresting campaign generally-not
particularly instructive. but rem
tniscent Of military methods of so
or rs years ago-and thus faScinat-
i&g for soldiers Of today TO observe,
n the light Of what they know
now.
So experts think, at any rate.
They cannot conceive Of either
the Russians or the Chinese as get
ting much up-to-date war machin-
cry into that area of prospective
hostilities-a few airplanes doubt
less. but not much Of the rest Of
the heavy equipment which bulked
so formidably on the west front IL

Both the Moscow and the Nam
king governments have almost un-
limited numbers Of men available.
but the professional concensus IS
that both will find 1t impossible 20
transport very large forces Of them
to the theater Of SO distant strug-
gle-especially the Russians, over
5000 miles Of single-track railroad.
AS for materials. IL Is foreSeen
that the Russians will have to trav-
el light, whatever they may pos
sess at home.
China's supply Is known to be
scanty and primitive.
In the great war the belligerents
had the resources to get more, but
not this pair Of them.
There are few dissenters from the
Judgment that the Russians could
handily defeat the Chinese If the
center Of their population were as
near to the Manchurian frontier as
the thickly settled portion Of north
ern China.
However, the Marking govern
ment has its own handicaps.
The Chinese soldiers nerve IS
good but they lack discipline-nev-
er seem to acquire it-and they are
practically without trained leaders,
while the Russians have some toll
erRbly competent ones.
