Over Harrington Gam
This Friday

Especial TO The Herald)
EDINBURG, Sept. i7.-Defeat.
apparently, Is staring the Edinburg
College Broncs In the face as they
prepare for their first grid game
Of the season with the Harrington
high school Cardinals there Friday
afternoon.
Coach j. d. Foster said this morn
ing that his men were soft and not
in very good condition. due to the
fact that the late opening C COL

ing as long to work out as other
Valley schools. The Broncs havs
only been scrimmaging for the
past few days of this week.
Although We will have a hard
fight on our hands and hope to
hold the Cardinals to 1T least a
two-touchdown margin In the game
Friday, we will put up a good
fight" Coach Foster said.

to prepare for the coming game.

four squad men from the last yea
son team around which TO build his
machine for this year.

have six high school stars from the
Bobcat team of last season as well

players who have made names for
themselves during their high school
football careers.

about this season IS well as num-
erous members Of the 1929 Bobcat
squad. The Bobcats have been
working out for the past two weeks
and they have been put through a
series of stiff skull drills by Coach

perfecting the old A. g. M. play of
tackle, which merely followed the
hammer and tongs style OF finesse.
