SPORTS CHATS

A gridiron feud Of long standing
viii be renewed Friday at Corpus
| Christi when the Brownsville Eagles
play the Buccaneers. Local elevens
have never been able TO do much
with Corpus Christi aggregations'
although some Of their battles have
been fit for the story books. Old
timers will quit their work to tell OF
these great fights. All remember the
last contest in which Mike .Celaya
suffered a broken leg.
Brownsville that year had an ele-
ven that she belived would best the
BUGS. Doubtless. they did have a
powerful aggregation. Fresh from
4 victory over the Rice Owlets,
Brownsville was set to finally take u
measure of her arch-enemy. But
the breaks went against her, and
She was rather severely trarapled by
the Pirates. Dutch" Rektorik, now
coaching at Harlingen, starred Tor
the Corpus Christi team that day.
Br~ownsville's spirit seemed TO have
been broken when Nike" was car
ried off the field.
Friday the Eagles will be fighting
not only to wipe out the stain oil
mast defeats, but to win the first
class "A" game in her history. TINS
contest will mark Brownsville'S de-
but in the upper circle. She was
promoted on her showing last season,
although there IN not enough stud
ents in the high school TO auto
m~aticallv place her in class "A. IL
Y nrobable. however. that the 500
enrolment will be reached by next
year.
The Eagles will be able to throw
the full force Of their attack on the
pirates. They were somewhat hand
scanned in the Harlingen game Fri
day due to the fact that Captain
Barnhart. fullback. was out OF the
line-up with an injured leg. This
caused shifts in the backfield tnat
put Newman in an unfamiliar posi-
ton. With Samano and Caoler az
halves. Newman at quarter, and
Barnhart at full. the Eagles VIII re
IN 10 full strength at Corpus Christi.
The BUGS were held TO a 90 tie
last Friday by Kingsville. Evidently
Corpus Christi has seen better years.
This NAV be the time for Browns
vilIe's revenge. Fridays game dld
worlds of good to the Eagles. II
brought out several players. Barney
Moore for one. Placido Gonzalez for
another. Samano took the game
with ali seriousness and demonstrate
ed that his plunging leaves little to
be desired.
That Harlingen- Brownsville jun
ior college game week after this
should be hot one The Cardinals Will
take on the Scorpions at Tucker field
Coach Calvin Surtees has built up a
team around three or four excellent
PLAYERS. He deserves q lot OF credit
for most Of his material was not
experienced. Pipkin. Atkins, MonSees
Powell and Cuellar would be well
coined additions to any squad In
South Texas. II looks as though the
Junior college will have the best
eleven In her history.
Bob Wade finally got himself into
trouble. ANY gunner in this Valley
should qualify his statements when
inclined to brag about his shooting
ability. There's just too many lead
around who are liable TO
feel insulted. When Wade recently
declared himself the best Skeeter
in the Valley at 200 shots. the whole
Donna team leaped at him with a
flock Of Il seen him first's." They
finally decided to let Anderson do
the dirty work. Andy and Bob VIII
shoot a 200-round match az Donna
Sunday.
