HIGH POINT
shot MAKER
Play Of Smith Is Best
Done On San Benito
Squad; Local Quint
Following Gains
BY BISHOP CLEMENTS
Sports Editor.

Displaying an uncanny
ability at guarding, and TAX
ing advantage of the oppor-
tunity to shoot goals, the
Brownsville high sch o o
basketball quintet put over
an Is to 8 victory against
San Benito high last night or
the local court at Tucker
Field.
Newman, Barnhart and
Longoria, were the scoring
aces for the Eagles, each
! shooting two baskets apiece,
while Smith proved the
shooting star for San Benito,
making two field goals, and
two free throws, count for
six points.
The game was holly con-
tested, and produced some
thrilling plays. The guard
ing of the Eagles showed to
advantage over the Grey
hounds, and became so good
at times that fouls were
called on the locals for over
zealousnesS.
Coach Plato used two teams. both
or which showed up we'll, displaying
improvement over their tussle last
week at La Ieria with high school
squad there. O'Bryan especially
looked good at guard last night, as
did Bennett. Barnhart showed up
we'll in looping the hoop, as did Lon
goria and Newman. Sylvester. who
heretofore has been the Eagles
scoring acc. failed TO score q point
last night. but played a whale OF a
game. The san Benito defense COW
cred Sylvester well. and only on one
or two occasions did the star goal
shooter have an opportunity 10
throw a goal.
Jack Lebowitz. San Benito forward.
showed up well for the visitors. This
boy looks like a natural basketball
player, and has the instinct. His
dribblng and guarding was good.
and he was all over the court.
Preceding the game. and in be-
tween halves, and after the game
was over between the San Benito and
Brownsville quintets, Coach Richey's
III Jardin squad and a town team
put on an interesting exhibition.
4 large crowd was on hand to
greet the players, and Red Irvine.

tion Of playing the games at night

proposition, rs ID will give fans an

N Street Girl
Got Well Quick

II had a lot of trouble with my
little daughter, Edith" says Mrs.
H. G. Eubank, 1929 N Street NV.
"She got very weak and pale, her
breath was bad and her tongue
coated and nothing seemed to
agree with her.
I'VE decided her trouble was
constipation and began giving her
California Fig Syrup. It bright
ened her up right away, strength
ened her, gave her a good appe-
tite. In q few days she looked like
q new girl. We have used Fig
Syrup since then for every upset,
or feveriSh spell and it always
helps her wonderfully"
Children like the rich, fruity
taste OF California Fig Syrup, and
you can give 1t to them as often
as they need 1t, because it is
purely vegetable. For over so
years leading physicians have
recommended it, and its over
whelming sales record of over
four million bottles a year shows
it gives satisfaction. Nothing
compares with it as a gentle but
certain laxative, and it goes fur
Their than this. It regulates the
stomach and bowels and gives
tone and strength to these Or
gans so they continue to act nor
mally, of their own accord.
There are many limitations of
California Fig Syrup, so look for
the name "CalifOrnia" on the car
ton to be sure you get the genuine.

UNITING Of CHURCH
CALLED NECESSARY
Presbyterian Leader Pleads
for Immediate Merging of
North-South Units.
BY the Associated Press.

PENMAR Pa, August Immediate
union of all factions of the Presbyterian
Church, both North and South, was the
call sounded in an address prepared by
DR.. William Chalmers Covert of Phila-
delphia as the keynote of meeting Of
the various factions here virtually on
the Mason and Dixon Line. DR.. Covert,
who is general secretary of the Presby-
terrain Board of Christian Education,
launched his plea with a declaration
that every argument. for reuniting the
separate units took on a new urgency
ut present.
Time, he indicated, has removed
many objections that have prevented
unification of the church. saying "the
psalms of David are no longer an is
sue to keep PreSbyterians apart" and
the racial situation that justified
separate grouping in the pioneer periods
has entirely passed"
Development of UNCONVENTIONAL mo-
rale, preservation of the characteristic
elements of the church, duty to the
next generation and conservation of
economic forces with elimination of I'M
necessary duplication were among the
reasons advanced for the union. There
are three and quarter million Presby-
terians and 300 churches, he said
Forces have been at work for SIS years,
DR.. Covert said. to bring about elimina-
ton of the barriers that have prevented
unification of the church. A serious
barrier raised by the Civil War has been
dissolved and the differences created by
that conflict have been forgotten, he
said.
The conference. called for the pur-
pose of considering unification, is at
