The signing OF an armistice along

has furnished new life and enthu-

II remains to be seen whether
the Robins fly higher this year

have been unable to do since they
last were pennant contenders in

Bf HAL EUSTACE
Unless something as startling as
a bunch Of bulls pulling an Earl
Carol bathtub party in jail comes
to pass tonight. the Harlingen
Methodists and the Donna indepen-
dent qr'ntets will earn the right TO
represent the Valley in the ANA
teur basketball playoff at San An
tonic.
Already in the lead and favored
to win in the closing game tonight.
Donna Is almost certain to come
through. The Harrington Metho-
dists have already sewed up first
hoaorS.
The sharp turn in affairs came
last night as a result Of the Meth
odistS 29-l4 victory over Edinburg
and Donna'S 40-l5 win over San
Renito. This placed Donna a full
game ahead Of Edinburg. Last
nights victors will be favored TO
cop again tonight, despite the fact
that the defeated clubs viii be on
their home grounds. Fridays scores
we're conclusive enough.
The only possible way OF beating
Donna out Of second place would
be for Edinburg TO down Harrington
and San Benito to defeat Donna.
This would leave Edinburg and
Donna tied up for second place.
Donna Sensation
Donna'S climb from behind has
been the sensation Of an otherwise
featureless schedule. Dick Horn
buckles boys deserve a world Of Gre
dit for their plucky stand. They
came from behind to tie McAllen
IN second place in the upper brack-
ct just as the regular season ended.
The Donates then flew into the
Macks for a victory which sent them
into the championship round rob-
in.
The r. king chair fleet then set
tied back and allowed as how that
was very fine. but Of course. Donna
could hope TO do little in the round
robin. The Donna boys were Just
getting started. They then proceed
ed to split their series with both the
Methodists and the Firemen. A So
80 break with these boys and San
Benito looked easy. Donna took
the first game Of this series in q
flashy style. There Is every reason
to believe they will down San Ben
ito tonight at San Benito.
