Comments on Brownsville Warrant Situation
TO THE BUSINESS MEN AND.
TAXPAYERS OF THE CITY
OF BROWNSVILLE:

Repeatedly in the last several weeks
there have appeared in print state
ments of Mayor Cole, who is also ar
attorney, that he doubts the general
legality of the warrants sold by the
City of Brownsville to Jarratt & Com
pany Of San Antonio. In line with that
opinion, the Mayor has refused to sigr
warrants in the amount of S25,0OC.OC
to pay bills for permanent improve
ments contracted By the City.
On the last two successive Satur.
days, the workers of the City have
been held until late In the afternoon
in doubt as to whether or not they
would receive their pay for the weeks
labor.
Mayor Cole is the law-partner Of r,
y. Rentfro, who heads the Creager
ticket In opposition to us. We assume
of course, that MIR. Rentfro is i'm sym.
pathy with the attitude Of his law.
partner, the Mayor.
Every statement of that nature, is.
sued by Mayor Cole, casts a cloud UP,
on the City's credit and will certainly
result In the depreciation of the value
OF any security, warrants or bonds
later issued by the City. In spite OF
the Rentfro platform opposing the sale
Of the City Light & Water Plant, II
appears that Cole and Rentfro, present
mayor and candidate for mayor res.
pectlvely, are engaged in DESTROYING
the City's credit and disrupt the oper.
alton of the City Light & Water Plant
by refusing to meet bills honestly In.
Cured and legally due and by cutting
off the workers from their paw earned
by their labors. No better wav To
force the Light e Water Plant into
sale to private interests could be found
than the one adopted by Rentfro and
Cole.
The facts on the City's credit are
these: The City made it's last sale Of
ITS bonds at par for ~ interest
That placed the City's bonds almost
in the same class as the United States
Government bonds. The City has sold
to date to Jarratt & Company of Sau
Antonio $l4O,0OO.0O OF warrants, bear.
ing Sc upon which they can secure
the money Immediately. Mayor Cole
has signed approximately $1,000, 00O.-
UO worth Of warrants, many for large
sums, which are certainly less defen.
sible than the SIS, 0OO.O0 he now re.
fuses to sign.
Whether the Rentfro-C oIe-C reage,
ticket wins or the public votes us into
office on the 10Th of December, the
City's credit IS being seriously impair.
ed and its municipal activities s~raveIy
disrupted by a course of conduct which
is utterly indefensible.
We are in no sense parties to that
course of action and pledge the pub
nc that we will pay every debt honest.

and we will bend every energy to keep.

of efficiency, service and profit.
The public can very well assume
that If the opposition ticket, before il
is fully i'm power, is so reckless and dis
regardful Of the interests of the City
it will certainly show no more regarc
after being elected.

BIG TEN TO RETAIN
RESERVE GRID PLAN
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. January THE Big Ten
plan or having reserve foot ball teams
play q regular championship schedule
was successful in 1928, and will be re-
peated next season.
A survey Of opinions Of athletic d.
rectors and coaches shows that every
school, with the possible exception Of
Indiana and Purdue, favors the reserve
team system.
The general opinion was that even
though the reserve games failed to elicit
much enthusiasm from students and
alumni they were beneficial in uncover
ing new talent and in giving experience
to future stars.
z. G. Clevenger. director of athletics
at Indiana, said he could see no real
value in reserve games, but Coach Pat
Page OF the HoosierS disagreed, pointing
out they were valuable and should be
continued. Purdue is not in favor of
the plan, as neither N. A. Kellogg, ath-
letic director, nor Coach Jimmie Phelan
could uncover enough talent for one.
Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg of the Uni
versity Of Chicago plans to have a few
reserve games scheduled next Fall.
AL the other members Of the confer
ence expressed enthusiasm for the plan,
indicating larger program for 1929.

The Vests golfing trail, trod by some
200 of the country's professionals and

of wind that blew away the chances of
many of the leaders, but D1egel never
faltered. He came home with TIE

received $3.50.
One stroke behind Diegel was Smith,

Y0ST THINKS RECOVERY
OF TUMBLE SUFFICIENT
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, January Field
ing Hurry Up" Yost, foot ball
coach at the University Of Michi-
gan, believes he has been misunder-
stood on his explanation Of his pro-
posed rule amendment under which
a ball fumbled by one team would be
declared dead at the point fumbled,
If recovered by the opposition.
Hoping to clear up any Inisunder-
standing, YOst said he believed loss
OF punting distance was sufficient
penalty.
"a tumble is not only a mistake,
but denotes inefficiency on the part
of the player, and, consequently, the
entire team. The loss of the ball
on tumble and its recovery by the
opponent is penalty enough when
one considers that the recovering
team save themselves the fun punt
ing distance Of the team making the
mistake.
I'm other words, q team deep in
its own territory to tumble loses
the chance to punt out, and this in
itself is a penalty. AlertneSs on the
part Of the defense is fundamental
part of the game, as possession Of
the ball is the all-impOrtant thing
in the game. You want merit to
win. Inefficiency and violation of
the rules should be punished. Is
not the length OF the punt suffi-
cient?"

VIRGINIA GRIDDERS
BY the Associated Press.


CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, January
Release of Earle Neale, Virginia
head coach of foot ball and base ball
since 1928. from his contract, which
extends to June, 1891, which has been
unofiicially agreed upon, does not neces-
sarily mean that he will not be head
coach of foot ball in 1929.
The athletic council will meet tomor-
row night and it Is expected to for
mally record vote waving the terms Of
the contract in order that Coach Neale
may become head coach of the ST.
Louis Cardinals. At the same time. the
council will consider the selection OF
coach for next Fall, and Neale's name
will probably be the first to be taken
up.
Members of the council have made it
known that Coach Neales first request
was that with release from his contract
he be allowed to continue as head
foot ball coach, reporting for duty
early in October at the end of the base
ball season in the major leagues.
His plan was that his assistant
coaches should carry on the preliminary
training in accordance with the system
that has been followed by the Cavaliers.
Coach Neale would arrive about two
weeks before the Virginia Military In
stitute game and would continue to
coach until the end of November.
This. officials said. Neale agreed to do
at q greatly reduced salary.

BUSY WEEK AHEAD
OF BIG TEN F|VES
Purdue, Iowa and Wisconsin
Tied for Top as Race
Gets Started.

by bLS ASSOCldbSU EEeS5.
CHICAGO, January with Purdue,
Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan tied at
pennacle with one victory each as the
Big Ten basket ball championship race
breaks into gallop this week with a
nine-game program.
Every team will get into action at
least once. Indiana and Chicago. the
only teams which did not get into the
championship race Saturday night,
jump into the thick of action with two
battles each.
Michigan's performers have probably
the hardest program of the week, invad-
ing Wisconsin and Iowa, two strong con-
tenders for the championship. The
Wolverines appear to have played all
their poor basket ball in their first
practice game and are very much in the
race as evidenced by their 32-to-20 VIC
tory over Northwestern Saturday.
Ohio State invadeS Northwestern and
Michigan tackles Wisconsin tonight.
Tomorrow night, Purdue invadeS Chica-
go and Indiana starts by tangling with
Illinois at Champaign. Saturday night
every team will be in action, Northwest
ern at Purdue; Wisconsin at Chicago:
Indiana at Minnesota; Michigan at
Iowa, and Illinois at Ohio State.
AS a result of Saturday nights lid
raising contests, Wisconsin today was
the only undefeated Big Ten team. The
Badgers won their four practice season
games and made If five straight by de-
feating Minnesota, 90 to 81, at Mime
apolis.
Northwestern lost its first game Of
the season to Michigan, while Purdue
handed Illinois its first setback, SO to
"a. at Lafayette. All the rest have been
defeated once or more.
Iowa's Huskies trimmed Ohio State,
"a to &c, in the toughest contest of the
Big Ten championship inaugural, but
looked impressive in doing so.
The five-man defense kept scoring
down to low point in the first skir-
mishes, which, with the exception of
the Michigan-N Northwestern contest, ran
true to preseason calculations.

PHILADELPHIA, January R.-
If the foot ball rulemakers wish to

American Olympic teams, suggests
the removal Of the two guards.
There are too many men on the
field now" he said, land 1 would
suggest dropping the guards. They
are there; they work hard; nobody
sees them. They just make the game
more complicated by their presence
on the field without adding in the
least to the thrills. Removal Of the
guards would mean more scoring"
