Martins crew held McAlIen to T.
0 and Harlingen 20 14-0. WeSlaco
should coast on N without another
defeat. Several Of Coach Martins
boys are going to make good ma
terial for that All-Valley team.
What makes us say that Donna
will give Weslaco a good scrap Is
the Redskins fighting spirit and
the fact that they r led by Quar-
terback Pattersons. Pats nobody'S
SLOUGH. If reports trickling down the
Valley are correct.
Armistiee Day, Nov. IL. will prob
ably see the Valley championship
determined when McAllen and Har-
lingen meet in the crucial game OF
the season az Harrington. They r
the only u~ndefeated, united teams
in the Valley. It's q funny thing.
too, when one considers that neither
club has a really stiff offensive
punch. Their strength Is in strong
forward walls. It's going to be q
great defensive scrap when these
two clubs get together. Usually,
fans watch the backfields. II you
60 to this game, watch the line
men and you viii have watched
the game.
Soc" Plato's up-and-coming b.
Eaglets are To play Raymondvlle
on Armistice day also. The Eeglets
have never been headed this year
and they should renlp away with
Raymondville. Plato has been try
ing to match q game with the San
Benito second team for this week.
The Eaglets are almost as powerful
among the lesser teams OF the VAL
ley as the Eagles are in class "A
circles. We believe they would have
made a strong showing with a full
B" schedule In the Valley.
Remember Ken Macy, the Har-
lingen rapier, who battled here IN
DAYS before Guv'ner Dan stopped
boxing? Ken is going good in Ari-
IONA these days. He recently de-
feated Tony Torres at Phoenix.
The sports scribes said that Ken's
flashy attack was the only COM
mendable thing about the card.
While Ken may not be so effective,
he Is distinctly a crowd pleaser.
Following is a letter from Ray j.
Shotveii, a newcomer 10 the VAL
lev, in which he, q former player,
lauds the Eagles highly:
Brownsville, Tex. Nov. 2, 1923,
Dear Sir:
Being a newcomer to Brownsville
and an old football player with sew
eral years of football under my
belt. ! can't refrain from express
ing the impression the Brownsville
Eagles made on me when they
came against Breckenridge Friday
afternoon, which was the first OPP
portunity ! have had to e them
in action.
about four weeks ago I associ-
ated myself with a local company
and the first day I was in the Of
flee, I heard the men talking about
the Eagles. / soon learned that the
Eagles was the name given the 10
cal football team. Being an old
football player, ] became interest
ed.
"At this junction, / want to state
that / have seen some OF the best
football machines in the country IN
action. / saw Red Grange when he
was in the heighth Of his glory in
every game he played at the Uni
versity of Illinois. / have seen
Coach Stages famous iive-yard
Mccartney and that great football
machine in action. i saw the Ar
my and Navy 60 two years ago, and
I have had the pleasure OF having
seen that greatest of all combina-
tions, -Four Horsemen Of Notre
Dame" several times. But, in all
the football that I have seen, i
don't believe I have see more snap
py or ~cleverly executed forward
passing than the Eagles do. In fact,
they are good In all departments OF
the game. Their open field run
ming Is scintillating and they r.
a stellar combination defensively.
mo small amount OF the success
OF the football team lies In its
coach. The Eagles show that they
have had wonderful coaching. and
I want to congratulate the coach
and say that he Is a real asset
to a city and a wonderful medium
Of advertising, so in conclusion I
feel that the people Of Brownsville
have cause TO be proud Of their
great football team. They are a fine
courageous bunch OF boys. Stay
with them and give them your
support at every opportunity"
