THERE will plenty Of basketball
in the Valley tomorrow to keep the
fans entertained. The amateurs will
play off their regular schedule OF
eight games. IN addition. the Hi
dalgo and Cameron high school
tournaments viii get under way
with eleven tits on the slate. In
reality, the Hidalgo tournament will
set going today with ore game be-
tween McAllen and Pharr-San Juan
Alamo at McAllen. This tilt is card
ed for 4 p. m. on the McAllen
grounds.
JUDGING from outward appear
ances, the Edinburg Bobcats have
the inside track in the Hidalgo
session. There has been no OUT
standing team developed in the
Cameron county section with the
exception, perhaps. Of the Wilson
Tract Aztecs. These little hustlers
under the guidance Of Supt. L. A.
Francis. have won 20 out OF %
starts while taking or the best or
the field. They arc bracketed with
Brownsville and Harrington The
Aztecs have defeated the Cardinals
before and should be able TO repeat.
They have not met the Eagles as
yet. however. and may find them
a stumbling block.
DONNA is said TO have a strong
club in the Hidalgo chase. She
meets with Edinburg early in the
tournament. There are plenty OF
fans who will tell you that the win
ner OF this tilt VIII run off with
the Hidalgo title and eventually
the Valley bunting. Raymondville
has already coasted in as Willacy
county champion. II Starr county
Is 10 be represented in the district
tournament, Rto Grande City will
likely send down a team. These four
counties, Starr, Hidalgo. Willacy
and Cameron-make up the district.
OUR vague hints that the
Brownsville Junior College would
be second in the lower bracket Of
the Amateur league Is about 70
come true-at least for a while.
When the corps we're near the
bottom OF the ladder. we began
saying they were going to finish
near the top. Friday night they
will probably GUST San Benito
from second honors. If San Benito
loses TO Harrington Methodists. a
Ia dope, she will have a $3.50 rating.
If the Scorps defeat Foraker's.
which they should easily, they will
have a mark OF $50. But the Saints
will have a chance to come back
By virtue Of a postponed game and
q protest.
THE cost OF news gathering Is
staggering at times when
people read a few lines OF
black type little do they real
lie the cost and trouble OF
cathering that bit OF information
and b~roadcasting it. The biggest
purse in boxing for some time Is
lust over the way. That Is the
Sharkey-Phoul Scott bout at Mi
ami Beach. Because of the inter
national aspect OF the cara, many
news agencies and large papers over
the world are making arrangements
with the cable companies to get
ringside returns. Trey r sending
special correspondents across the
oceans now. concentrating on Mi
ami. 1t is not only possible. but
probable that the cable tolls viii
amount to as much or more than
the gate receipts.
