The Valley title chase is rapidly
being brought to a whiriwlnd fin
ish.s Mission fell TO the side Thurs
day. leaving Harrington. McAllen and
La Feria as the undefeated leaders
Monday Harlingen and McAlien
will battle out their little difference
es. The same day La Fegia takes
on San Benito. 1t will not be long
before one team will hold the IN
disputed lead. We are inclined 70
believe that Harlingen Will come
through. La Feria is the unknown
quantity. If she Is as strong as
scores indicate. she may upset the
dope bucket. San Benito Is a pref
~ well known aggregation and La
Feria will be judged by what &C.
ours in this game.
McAllen has a way OF coming
back IN the fourth quarter To win
her games. She Snatched another
from the fire Thursday when she
defeated Mission 1876. McAllen had
scored early in the game. IT the
fourth quarter. Jackson Of Mission
intercepted a pass and ran IS yards
TO a touchdown. tieing the score.
The Bulldogs then put on a last
minute rush with Webb doing the
major part Of the ground gaining
He marched straight down the field
and went over just before the final
whistle was sounded. Rather hard
on Bobby Cannon's Eagles. They
were undefeated up until this game
and had high hopes Of winning a
Valley title. This defeat practically
puts them On the shelf.
The Ninth Infantry boys decided
they could not come down 10 play
the Edinburg Junior college Broncs.
Maybe it's against army regulation
for doughb0yS 70 monkey around
the harses. (Joke). AT any rate
the game was called off. The Broncs
have signed up some real COMPETE
tion-the Schreiner institute Noun
taineers. The teams will clash at
Edinburg Nov. Is. This should be
one of the outstanding games Of the
year for this section. The Noun
taineers have always been noted for
their strong football teams and this
year Is proving no exception to the
rule. The chief feather In their
caps is a victory over the Rice
Shines.
Tuesday OF next week. the Broncs
will take on the Texas Chiropractic
College of San Antonio. This ought
TO be good. Think what a chiro-
practor could do to opponents down
under a heap where the officials
could not see him. Throw a few
backbones out Of joint and win any
old game.
The Chiropractors are managed
by Jim Kendrick, we'll known pro-
fessional. who plays in the back
field himself. The Ch~iropractors are
a group Of good players banded to-
gether almost for the sole purpose
Of playing football. Few. IL any,
