football. He saw several of the
locals games last year. The U. I.
star could remember M names,
but did remember a p~lunging full
back and a snappy quarterback.
These were big Dan" Barnhart
and BOY" Newman, both of whom
will be back this coming year.
In the Southwestern conference,
Rice and T. G. u. are on the as
cendancy, he stated. These two in
situations are going after the cream
of the talent and if Texas A. & M.
and others Go not look to their laur-
els they will find themselves far
to the real of the Owls and Horned
Frogs, Higgins said. Baylor was
seen as a strong bet to capture the
Southwestern grid championship.
Texas. "Ox" said, will have one
of the fastest elevens in its history.
They have four backfield men who
are speed demons. Dexter Shelly,
former Austin high star, will prob
ably get the call at fullback follow
ing Rufus Kings graduation. Mona
Ross is slated for the quarterback
post. Pat Perkins will hold one
half and the other will be divided
between Eddie Beular and Claude
Meadows. Out of this combination
Texas will have four excellent pass
ers, two men who az punt 45 yards
consistently, four broken field run
ners, and two triple threat men.
The Iine, while light, also will
be shifty on its ankles. The fol-
lowing speed merchants have in
side shots at berths: Nick Ga
tOura, Gordy Brown, Cowboy Mills,
Emerson, Easterling, Vining and
Big I'm Rose. Higgins is not
overly optimistic over the pros
poets of the Longhorns, however.
T. G.. u, Rice and Baylor will be
the aggregations the Steers will
have to hurdle to get into the
select class. Matty Bell probably
will be unable to reorganize and
put his system into working order
at A. & M. during the first year,
Higgins said.
Frank Higgins, brother Of "Ox," Is
due for bigger things on the dia-
mond. Higgins, all-conference
third sacker, was selected to cap
tain the Longhorn nine for the
coming season despite the fact that
he is only 10 years old. Major
league scouts have their eye on I'm

Frank belted the ball at a .444 clip
during the Southwest conference
season.
One of the biggest questions to
come before the annual meeting
Of the Brownsville Country club
will be that Of whether or not the
golf links shall be leased to La
verne Miller. Miller Is seeking
leases on various golf courses over
the Valley. Under his plan he
would sell golfing memberships
good on any our in the Valley.
Unless the entire membership
turns out to vote on the question
it is possible that the local links
will pass out of the control of
the Country club. 1t is understood
that Miller will submit an attrac-
tive proposition to the gathering.
4. There are three baseball games
scheduled for Brownsville and Mata-
moroS today. At 9:5U a.. m. the
Palmez-Tigers will play the Browns
vile Yankees on the PaIm Courts
field. The Yankees have not met
the PalmeZ-Tigers before and the
game will be watched with interest.
The Yanks were recently formed Of
star players at Fort Brown.
In the afternoon the Yankees
will meet the 43rd Mexican cav
airy team in MatamoroS. Each Of
these aggregations hold one win
over the other and today's game
is regarded as a saw" affair. At
$3.50 p. m. the Camp Bolivar, w.
o. w. team will take on the San
Benito Box Makers on the Amer
can Legion field. The HacherOs
have been going strong of late,
taking four victories over Point
Isabel and Los FresnoS teams.
Up at San Benito the Pentagons
are combining themselves to a little
city series with the Aztecs. The
Pents have trounced the Indians
twice but the Aztecs are unabashed.
They have dug up another hurler.
Waitman, and are confident they will
com off with a win Sunday. Wal
lace, Aggie frosh hurler, probably
VIII place his brogans on the rub
Der for the Powermen.
Any Boy Scout troop feeling the
pangs of baseball ambitions should
consult with Vance Wilson before
making any rash statements.
vance Is captain or the newly
formed Troop One team. Troop
One is seeking games and has
issued a challenge to all other
troops in the city.
The coming boat races to be
staged at Point Isabel on July 81
r attracting considerable atten-
ton. A complete program Of yacht
and outboard events have been
scheduled. Prizes in the vari-
GUS events r being offered by the
Point Isabel Yacht club. Cupboard
ers from all parts of the Valley
are expected to enter the events.
.
There viii be no prize fights
at ReynoSa Sunday as previously
announced. Inc Dig card was
called off due to the lack of a
crowd. There was little interest
in the bout between Pedro Lopez
ana oscar hOenler. NO 0OuDJ
this would have been a good fray
