the stiffest spring grid practice
grinds ever undertaken in the his
tory of the Brownsville high school.
About forty candidates answered
the call for practice Monday aft

been undergoing strenuous drills
each afternoon on Tucker Field this
past week.
The boys are showing a lot of
pep and interest" the coach de-
clared Friday, after the first week
of the grind. Equipment, the kind
that gladdens the heart of the coach
as well as the players. has been re-
ceiVed, thus giving the Eagles an
advantage along this line they have
not had in past years.
There isn't much football gossip
these baseball days, but the little
that is heard concerns the chances
OF the club for this coming season.
How many Of the champion Eagles
will be back and how many viii be
lost, is not definitely known, as yet.
Some, however, are to be lost to

Bob O'Bryan, are expected to grad
uate, as. well as Malcoml Newman,

Coach Webb Connally has sent
over a number of bright prospects
from his junior SQUAD of last year.
Jack Summers, who played good
ball for the Red Ants last year, is
regarded by fans as a candidate for
q guard position, and certain to
make good.
All in all, it looks like Coach Fes-
sender is going to have some splen-
did material for next seasons squad.
