event the McAllen mentor is send
ing his % odd aspirants through
the hardest series Of workouts that
they have experienced since the
opening OF the grid training season
nearly two months ago.
Friday afternoon Of the present
week Ogan's Bulldogs will ia , on

Edinburg Junior college Broncs,
conceded to be one Of the fastest
collegiate clubs in South Texas.
And just because the BroncS were
humbied by Dutch" Rektorik's
high school Cardinals at Harrington
last week Is no sign that the Ogan
proteges won't get the scrap o!
their lives here Friday eve.
The McAllen eleven will be out

junior college squad handed them
ut the start Of the 1929 season. The

Penny Frisby, s.ashins signal

be counted upon TO lead the Bull

for that wall appears thus far in
the season to be little better than
a shell. Frisby and Jones will be
aided by Earnest and Webb at the
two halfback posts. and this quartet
OF speedsters is capable of offering
a most deceptive attack.
Veteran men will get the call in
the line unless Ogan changes his
plans considerably. Barney Jack
Con will be az Center. the post at
which he starred as a brilliant
defensive player all last season.
Flanking him at guards will be Bob
Shaner. a new member OF the Bull
dog squad and a fighting. tough
lineman, whose partner will prob
ably be Jimmy Overstreet. George
