Battle OF Grapefruit
A proposal BY Ben Epste-a, Har-
lingen merchant, that an All-Valley
team play some outstanding team Of
the state, preferably the Texas
champions, a post-seaSon game each
year, was taken under adviSemelt
by the coaches. They will confer
with their scnool officials and take
final action at the next meeting.
Epstein pointed out the publicity
that would be brought 70 the Valley
through this game and stated that
the chambers of commerce doubtless
would stand behind the move. IN
der Epstein's plan, the game would
be. modelled after the Battle OF
Roses" He suggested that the con-
test be called the Battle OF Grape
fruit"
In threshing out the question of
eligibility, it was brought out that
the p-ost-season game might be
counted against the Valley gridders.
Clements was to ask the Interschol-
astic league for a ruling on the
game and make a report at the next
meeting.
All Of the coaches seemed TO be
IN favor OF the proposal as II would
give the Valley gridders something
to work toward throughout p
season.
