CLASSIC TILT
IS EXPECTED
Undefeated Valley Club On
Edge For Potent
Visitors

The Lower Rio Grande Valleys
greatest gridircn unit of all times
against a fast moving University
aggregation-that's what the fans
will see here Tuesday afternoon
when the Brownsville Junior col
leg Scorpions collide with the st.
Mary's University Rattlers of san
Antonio.
The class OF football seen in this
encounter will be the best the Val
ley has ever witnessed. If the
strength of the clubs indicate the
kind Of ball they will play. The
Scorpions have run over everything
that has come their way in rough
shod fashion. They easily distanced
the best the Valley had TO offer,
piling the Edinburg Junior college
Broncs under a $50 avalanche and
smashing through the Harrington
high Cardinals for a 40-2 victory.
In five games. the locals have aver
aged better than a point for every
two minutes of play.
Material to Burn
Red Irvine has material to burn
III the line and in the backfield
T h a I Newman-Adamson-Ca bler-
Pipkin combination would be well
come on any mans ball club. Adam
sen. an All-Valley performer last
year. has improved so per cent and
travelling behind a powerful forward
wall, has seldom been stopped n
der five yards this year. Newman
and Cabler were the backfield stars
of the Brownsville Screaming Eag-
les last year and no one can accuse
them Of going back this season.
Newman is one OF the smartest
quarters in south Texas and he can
do his share of the ball carrying.
He has few equals at safety. always
making his tackle and returning
punts in great style. Cabler has the
most elusive spin ever used on
Tucker field. which leaves a wake
of would-be tacklers as he sprints
down the field. Pipkin rounds U
the galloping quartet in fine fash
ion. He is a demon In his slashes
off tackle. He gives the club punch
in the 20-yard line. Lesser. Ball,
Buttons. Lebowitz. Perez and SnitiI
make good reserves.
Scorps Praised
The best tribute paid the Scorp-
ion line this year was made by
Spenser, all STATE full back who
played with Gilmer last year.
Spenser played here with the Ag-
fie Fish. Anybody a go behind
a line like that. Spenser said. The
Scorpion line averages around 100
pounds to the man and IS a low
charging aggregation that IS hard
TO stop. Ends are held down BY
Sylvester and Davenport. Eagles OF
last year Bennett, Summers. At
kins. Gilbert and Nelson compose
the center OF the line. Bennett got
all-state mention last year. Only
two points have been scored on the
Scorps this season. which goes 20
show the teams defensive strength.
St. Mary'S will be considerably
stronger than the Aggie freshmen.
The team is composed Of stars
from around San Antonio. The boys
have been playing under Coach
Barlow Bones Irvine. former all
southwest tackle at A. & M. for
several seasons and they have
machine strength as we'll as indi-
vidual brilliance. He has nine let
termen from last year on his eleven.
Smashing Victory
In their last start. the Rattlers
scored a smashing $40 victory over
the University Of Mexico. An i'm
preSsive fact about the Rattlers to
Valley fans is that they defeated
the 23rd infantry 800. The Scorps
took the measure OF the Army ele-
ven TO, but that was early in the
season and on a muddy field. An
other star in the Rattler's crown
their 1918 victory over the potent
Sui Ross Loboes of Abilene. The
class Of ball that the Loboes play
is we'll known.
A record crowd is expected To fill
the Tucker field stands for the en-
counter which begins at 2:30 D. m.
There are numerous up-Vailey
stars on the Scorpion club and these
