McALLEN. Oct. ll.-Valley grid
i-o- followers may rest assured that
Cowboy" Ogan's McAllen high
school Bulldogs are going to be a
serious threat In the schoolboy pig
hide tit chase In this section this
season. BY virtue OF o rousing 58
to 0 win over the touted Alice high
school Rangers here last Friday az
ternoon. the Bulldogs went on the
books as being one Of the four
strongest teams in the Valley this
year.
The win which Ogan's charges
chalked up against Fred Grady's
powerful little squad isn't q flash
in-the-pan. These McAllen lads
exhibited some very. very smart
football in administering the lacing
TO the Rangers. And the youth
who gets credit for a lot in the vic
torious ARRAY Of the Dogs is Rudy
Nordmeyer. a squat little 10
FOUNDER who guided the Ogan club
with skill and smartness through
out the engagement. Rudy served
for three and one-half quarters at
the signal calling post. He carried
the ball about three times during
tire game and for the remainder OF
the afternoon squatted down be-
hind center and racked his brain
for some OF the smartest football
formations seen here IN two solid
seasons.
True. after the first quarter the
Alice defense weakened, but even
with that there were still eleven
men opposing the Bulldogs who
could tackle and block. And that's
sumpin'. One OF the brightest fea-
lures Of the clash was young Fred
dy Webb, who Is playing his first
senior high school football. Webb
came up from the ranks OF Coach
Al Weir's Valley champion 1929
junior team. He is without O
doubt one OF the fastest men under
the m~oieskins in any Valley high
school this season. He TOO play
ed smart football. something new.
and he -eeled off enough long runs
TO establish q record for his Tor
the entire season.
Penny Frisby. n OF the back
field veterans upon whom Ogan
was relying for great aid In his
campaign this season, will not be
able TO play. He is ineligible under
the terms OF the new i~nterscholas-
e., league ten-semester ruling.
Frisby showed up well in the Alice
tilt.
Next Friday afternoon Ogan will
send his men into their first con-
ference engagement OF the season
when they take on Edinburg high
school Bobcats on the local field.
At the writing the Bulldogs seem
TO have a better all-round club than
the Edinburg team. But there's
no telling what Skipper" Foster
will pro luce when he starts whip
ping his lads into shape for the
Bulldog session.
The backfield which the McAllen
mentor will probably start against
-orSmeyer at quarterback, Webb
and Earnest at halfbacks and Jones
8 fullback. This is a clicking COM
biration and ought 10 b good for
several first downs.
A game OF football always has It's
humorous parts. Friday afternoon
when the Bulldogs strapped the
Alice club. Barney Jackson. for the
first time in his three years Of foot
ball. was played liz the backfield.
Ogan shifted him from his old post
at center 20 halfback.
Barney was imbued with q spirit
Of do o. die" at his new berth. He
took the ball on the second play
after he was sent into the back
field and spun through the Alice
line. riggled past the safeties and
was OF on a AZ yard dash to touch
down. Referee Spitz Clarke called
the ball back. however, since the
Alice lads drew a penalty. On the
r.ext play Jackson ripped right
through the same hole In the line
again. spun back toward the safe
ties. wriggled past them and this
time scored a real touchdown.
The stands went nuts"
Just before the game opened
Referee Clarke was asked about
Umpire DOC" Osborne's alma ma
ter. His reply came forth without
a grin and without hesitation:
