McALLEN. Sept. 6-Grooming his
men relentlessly in an effort to
have them in top shape by the
time the conference playing sea
son opens two weeks hence. Coach
r. F. Cowboy" Ogan OF McAllen
will send his McAllen High School
Bulldogs through heated series Of
field drills this week. For four
days Ogan will drive his charges
at a apid pace and then will send
them into their first inter-district
clash OF the season when they meet
the strong Alice high school eleven
on the McAllen field Friday. Oct
ober 10.
The Alice squad Is conceded to be
one of the strongest class B clubs
in its district this season and Is
favored to cop the district title
unless a stumble or two occur dur
ing mid-season. The Bulldog-Alice
fray was arranged by Ogan in lieu
of a proposed scrap with the Robs-
town Cottonpickers, strong class B
squad who were humbled on the
McAllen grid two years ago. 1t Is
possible that the Cottonpickers
will come here later in the season,
and the McAllen mentor is at
tempting 10 complete negotiations
for such a scrap.
Robbed Of a predicted treat in
the forrr of the scheduled McAllen-
Brownsville Junior College game the
past week, fans here are keyed UP
over the imposing schedule Of the
Ogan squad against Alice high
schools array Of grid hopefuls.
Tapering off an inter-district non
conference schedule which was made
up of the Edinburg Junior College
and Alice high school games. Ogan
and his boys will get down to the
hardest grid Of the year next week
in preparing TO meet Edinburg
high school Bobcats In the first
conference exhibition OF the new
1880 season. In bucking the Bob
cats, the Bulldogs will be facing a
stiff task. These youngsters slough
ed off a o to 0 tie with Claude
Dailey's fighting Donna Redskins
two weeks ago but that is no rea-
son for a Bulldog let-down, Ogan
declares.
Last season the Bulldogs overran
j. ID. Fosters high school crew at
Edinburg with a topheavy count,
but with most OF his veterans back
on the club this year Skipper" is
slated to turn out a strong ana
seasoned team.
Ogan has been at work in an eff
fort 10 make up a workable COM
bination for his backfield. which
failed eve through its lusty eff
forts to gain more than a few scant
yards against the Edinburg College
Broncs here in the first fray OF the
season here. Only two first downs
rewarded the efforts Of the Ogan-
men against Fosters hefty collie
gians. and both Of these were made
on recovered punts.
Penny FriSby at quarterback, Fred
Webb and Bud Earnest at half
backs and Darwin Jones at fullbacl
started the Edinburg game. Ogan
changed his backfieid at numerous
instances. but failed to reach a set
up that would look like a ground
gaining combine. Amadeo Cara
tore off some nice tackle plunges
and Jones looked good On his line
ripping charges through center and
off the ends. but this was the ex-
tent Of the backfield offensive.
Defensively Ogan has n Of the
Drettiest machines eve turned cut
here. The line and backfield both
are bearcats on the defense and the
line looks nice on the offense. but
around isn't usually gained by the
forward wall.
Plenty of worry faces Cowboy"
until he is able TO muster from the
ranks Of his gridders a backfield
quartet that Is able to click" when
clicking Is needed.
