Seago and Drew Patteson are leav-
ing for the Lower Gulf Coast tourn-
ament which opens q two-day meet
az Laredo Sunday. Taciturn Rob-
ert Champion, caddy, will leave by
rail to enter the junior champion
ship to be played over the Willow
Springs course at San Antonio.
Sept. 3. 4. 5 and 8.
Brownsville golfers have a good
chance to bring back q slab Of the
well known bacon. Pickett or
either Of the two Georges are liable
to cop championship honors at La
redo. Pickett held the crown one
year and it would be no surprise to
see him wrest 1t back from Cum
mings Of Corpus Christi.
Those Juniors at San Antonio
will have to get up and shoot he
man golf If they want to beat out
Champion. This quiet, retiring
chap is in his native element on a
golf course. He has a regular han
dicap Of nine strokes yer the local
links. If he continues to play in
the future as he has in the past
several weeks, that handicap will
have to be lowered. When one con-
siders that there r only four golf
ers IN Brownsville with lower han
dicaps, they will realize the brand Of
golf Robert plays.
He recently won the caddies'
tournament with a net figure mat
was under par. Robert was beating
his handicap consistently. Day be-
fore yesterday he swished and
swatted around the first nine holes
IN 36-exactly par figures.
Last year, thanks to the golfing
committee. several juniors were en-
tered in the tournament at Hous-
ton. Champion won the second
flight. He got off to a poor start
In the qualifying round. IN match
play he was seven and eight strokes
better than the card he turned In in
the qualifications. Roberts trip to
San Antonio will be financed by the
golfing committee.
Cabler's kicking Jack Todd's
charley horse new shoes .
Samano turns up. These are the
highlights Of the Brownsville Eagles
practice sessions Friday.
With a slight wind behind his
back. Cabler blasted the pigskin
down the field for SIS and so yards
with regularity. This just about
fixes up Coach Fessenden as far as
kickers arc concerned. He has four
punters Of merit. They are Cabler,
Barnhart, Davenport and Samano
From placement, Sylvester and Sum-
mers are turning in creditable per-
formances.
We and Bob Wells. ex-Aggie ath-
lete. were watching Jack Todd, like
Unlocking half-back. Friday. Jack
made a run in which 1t looked as
though he dug unusually deep with
his cleats. Whats the matter; has
Todd got a charley horse?" Bob
asked. We hadn't noticed anything
unusual. but 1t turned out to be just
that. Jack soon came in limping and
Coach Fessenden sent him to the
dressing room for treatment.
All Of the boys were getting plenty
Of traction with their new brogans.
The old trouble of getting fitted up
cropped out as usual. A number OF
the players have ore feet and the
unb-oken shoes pinched. A little bit
Of time viii remedy the trouble.
Brown as a nut and as solid as a
keg or nails, Ito" Samann put in
his appearance Friday afternoon.H
has been hard al work all summer
and 1t Is probable that he will put on
a few more pounds when he begins
football training Monday. Samano
tips the beam around 100 at pres
ent. He is slated to alternate at full
back with Dan Barnhart this season.
A Mission fan writes In as fol-
lows:
"The Mission high school Eagles
are expected to start their grio
training Monday or tuesday under
the supervision OF Coach Bobby
cannon. Mission will not have q
heavy team but is expected to be de-
veloped into a fast and active team
Several letter men will not be back
TO carry the laurels Of the school to
victory. but there are other promis-
ing men to take their places. Coach
Cannon Genes from san ANTONIO
and Is considered one OF the best
coaches in the state. Thirty or thir-
tv-fIve candidates are expected 10
renort for practice next week TO get
the old grid movement into action
again."
we are always glad to receive
communications from the fans. II

Although football Is getting into
full swing, there will be plenty of
