HARLINGEN. Aug. %. About
thirty candidates for places on the
Harrington High school football team
turned out for the first day of prac-
tice here Wednesday afternoon,
with Coach Dutch Rektorik on the
job.
Practice started earlier this year
than 1t has in the past, because OF
the fact that one Of the teams
hardest games comes first on Sep
TENDER q, with Brownsville.
Although II is far too early to tell
anything definite about the valley
teams, still Harrington has enough
veterans from last year. and enough
good new material to prove a threat
in the Valley this year.
Veterans Bolster Line
The line which PLAYED last year
a. a practically new line Is almost
entirely intact. Captain Witherspoon
of the team will be back at tackle.
MURRAY. one of the outstanding ends
az the Valley. will he at n end
with Daniels at the other. Mike Wa
fsrs will be back as a tackle and Bill
johnson and Drury have turned U
70 help plug the guard POSITIONS.
Brindley, the center OF last wear
Is back with the team. All THESE
men were in the line last year. and
most Of them regulars throughout
the season.
But the Harlingen backfield OF
last wear is gone with the single ex-
ception OF Scheupbach. The quarter
back has returned larger n faster
and promises to be a great help IN
the backfield.
Washam Real Star
Harlingen's hopes will be built
around these veterans, and around
several outstanding new men. the
principal one being Maurice WASH
en-. star OF the Waco High school
team for the pSSt two years. He was
the man around whom Coach Paul
Tyson OF Waco expected 70 build his
backfield this year.
Washam is one Of the best high
school football punters In Texas. Is
a fast man with the ball. and a good
ell around man. He will form a triple
threat in the HarlinRen backfield
that will require considerable abil-
ity to handle.
Other Offensive Threats
With him is n younger brother,
STANLEY. the family Of the boys hav-
ing moved to Harlineen 10 live.
Stanley was on the second team at
Waco. hut is expected to be suffi-
cientlv improved to play first string
football this year.
JIMMY Lawrence. star OF the Har-
linren Junior High team Of last year
will be another hackfield candidate.
and Walker. a Kansas football star

wn-k in the hackfield.

Rektorick came to Harlingen from

FINISH UP CUBANS
No Mercy Shown as Allison
and Lott Win to Sweep
Davis Cup Series.
BY PAUL r.. NICHOLSON,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

~ ETROIT, Mich, June l.
The United States Davis
Cup tennis team today
- ended it's brilliant Ameri-
can zone campaign by adding two
more victories to its long String
and completing it's route of Cuba,
the last challenger on this side
of the Atlantic, five matches to
none.
Wilmer Allison of Fort Forth, Tex,
and George Lott of Chicago, third rank
ing net star of this country, painted
the finishing touches of the campaign
with. straight set victories over the out
classed Cubans Allison defeated Gus
tavo Vollmer 6-3, GO, IS. while
Lott, competing on the team for the
first time this year, bested Herman Up
mann, Ga, 6-3, 6-3.
Americans Bear Down.
Today's singles matches were mere
formalities, as the United States team
had clinched the zone title Thursday
and Friday with victories in the two
singles and doubles events But instead
OF slowing up, Lott and Allison played
their best tennis, and as a result the
team record for the entire campaign
against Canada, Japan and Cuba, to-
tailed IA matches won and l lost. 1t
was Japan's team which spoiled the
record.
BY its victory, the United States team
will represent the Americans abroad,
meeting the winners of the inter-zone
European finals for the right to chal-
lenge France for the Davis Cup, which
1t has held for the past two years. The
team expects to sail Wednesday with
Allison, John HenneSsy of Indianapolis,
John Van Ryn, of East Orange, N. j.,
and Fitz-Eugene Dixon, non-playing
captain. 1t will not be known until
Monday whether Lott can accompany
the team. as he is concerned with his
studies at the University of Chicago.
1t was the same old story in today's
singles matches, Lott and Allison VIM
ming as they pleased. They were mas
ters OF the play from the first serve and
the Cubans were able to cope with them
only at rare intervals.
VolImer Puts Up Fight.
Vollmer, Cuban singles champion,
put up the best battle of the entire COM
petition in the finals, however. After
dropping the first two sets because of
his eagerness and habit of falling in
traps, he threatened Allison. At one
time in the third set he needed but a
single point to win it, but he threw 1t
away with two successive double faults
and by driving what should have been
an easy return into the net. Then ALI
son showed is great superiority by win
ming the next two games. Al, 40, to
take the third and deciding set.
Lott displayed the best tennis of all
the other United States players in de-
feating Upmann. His timing was ex-
cellent, his serving sharp and true and
his position play sensational at times
In the three sets he scored from place
ment "a times and shot his serve over
for aces times. Only twice did he
double fault and that was when he was
50 far In the lead that 1t did not matter
