Here's a letter from a Bulldog
booster:
Dear Sir:
Il have read your comment on
the McAllen- Harlingen game next
Monday in tonight's paper with
great interes.. To a great extent
you are right in saying that it VIII
be a battle between two good lines.
But ] just want to remind that
there Is plenty of power in that
Bulldog backfield, and ! don't mean
maybe. We have one Of the great
est line plungers the Valley has
ever seen. "Swede" Walsh Is the
boy / mean. Just advise your fans
to watch this big boz hit that line
and they will see plenty. Hes just
scored A points so far in three
Any All-Valley teal.l with
out him on 1t will be q super-team.
Most OF the fans here are hop
ing the Eagles win the state title
and 1t sure looks like more than a
dream. doesn't II! Here's hoping
they do win OFT, then our All
Valley team can give them a good
licking. The Eagles should realize
that all teams In their district
are really very weak this year, and
mat the farther up they 60 the
better the teams are.
One more thing. please don't
forget us little class "B" clubs.

We cannot agree With the Nc
Allen fan as to the ALI Valley team,
to defeat the Eagles. Browns

individual ability Is well above the
average. Added TO this, they have
been playing together for years
that clicking team-play, which
would be missing in an AlI-Valley
aggregation. We would pick a
smooth running team to defeat ar
all-star aggregation under almost
any circumstance. Team play
counts.
Here's an Eagle fan who's broken

the manner in which the Eagles dis

The bows stood round watching the

When Breckenridge pulled some
thing rather tame.
It was that punt-receiving forma-

Which-for them-turned out TO be
very bad.
Five Breckenridge players to mid
