Dutch Has Many Backfield
Candidates; Line To
Be Problem
BY JACK LEBOWITZ

HARLINGEN, Aug. 22.-Ideal
weather plus lettermen added to
shoulder pads, cleated shoes and a
pigskin equal football. That is the
combination Dutch Rektorik,
Harrington coach, has in hand. so he
intends to begin football training
by the middle Of next week.
When he issues his call for
candidates. Dutch expects 10
distribute some 40 or so uniforms
to the Cardinals. And q potent
outfit il should be. Many are OF
the opinion that the Cardinals will
come through for their second VAL
ley championship in two years.
With the past successful season
still fresh in their minds. the
candidates are planning an under
going strenuous training that will
not let up until the first game,
which will be with the Edinburg
Junior college Broncs Sept. 10.
Many familiar faces will greet
Coach Rektorik when the call to
arms is issued. There will be
Captain Jack Scheupbach, poppy
half who made the All-Valley squad
last season. Playing his fourth
year. Jack should reach his best
form this term. Jimmie Lawrence,
the inevitable Lawrence on the
Cardinal squad. is ready to don his
fighting toys. Last season Jimmie
carried more than his load and
Coach Rektorik IL looking for even
better work on his part this season.
Jack West, a sure fire plunger
and a man who can run inter-
ference. will be more than a well
coined party when he turns UP for
training. This is Vests second
season under the Red and White
banner.
Conner Hartin a letterman who
did not see much action last year,
should be one OF the squads lead
ing lights this season. He is q back.
Clarence SiSsell, another back who
lettered last year. will be back also.
"Ducth" should have one of the
best balanced backfields in South
Texas in these men.
Bill Johnson, who earned a letter
two years ago. will be back under
the Cardinal colors this season. He
will be a welcomed addition. as the
star ends Of last seaSon-Ray Muir
ray and Maurice Washam-are gone.
The return Of Stanley Washam
gives the Cards a finished back
who can pass. punt. and carry the
ball. This trim gridiron figure
lettered two years ago at Waco
high under the veteran mentor
Paul Tyson. He was ineligible last
season. Everything's okeh now. and
washam Is expected to prove a thorn
in the side Of the opposition this
season.

McALLEN, Aug. 22.-Inter-city
tennis tournaments IL the Rio
Grande Valley, eliminating yearly
each fall in q big sectional gather
ing Of net players from all corners
OF the Tip o Texas, is Seen as the
result Of several racquet meets which
have been held in the Upper VAL
ley during recent months. The
tournament now being conducted
by McAllen Tennis Club at its
North Tenth street courts here Is
the only net meet under way just
at the present time.
Local players foster the belief
that a number Of cities such as
Edinburg, McAllen and possibly a
sixth city could stage early sum-
mer tournaments each year and
then bring the winners OF the var
ious meets together In a large
regional meet that would rival in
interest and color any Of the
Journeys that are being staged an
nually IN San Antonio. Houston
and other Texas cities.
The invitation meet sponsored by
the Young Mems Business League
Of Edinburg several weeks ago in
connection with Independence Day
celebrations. Is credited with start
ing the ball rolling" along this new
line. Harlingen civic officials. it Is
understood, are planning an invita-
ton tourney there at an early date
with plans to ask the attendance
OF many Valley METERS
The tournament now nearing its
completion here has been Stretched
out over a period OF three weeks
and has greatly revived local in
terest in the game. Not only have
some stellar matches been staged
but the exhibitions OF several play
ers have been truly stellar.
Take the winners OF the local
meet. the Edinburg tourney and
the coming Harrington fracas, put
them together for n tournament,
and you will have some Of the
finest racquet talent that South
Texas can offer. The tourney would
be kept on an amateur status, OF
course, to preserve the simon-pure
standing. and demand 1t as well, OF
all players who enter.

championship play.
Tomorrow morning Voigt will play
William Sutton, former English native
champion, while Jones meets Eric Fid-
dian, who removed Tony Torrance, one
OF Britain's best players from the COM
petition today.
Jones, after apparently establishing
a commanding lead early in the home
ward journey. had to fight back SEN

Johnston shot two brides at Jones
on the fourteenth and seventeenth holes
and brought the match to the home

Won Elm was defeated by the 52-year-

In the afternoon matches Voigt

like glass under the sun and wind OF

and sent many difficult puts running
true.

the time only one hole separated the

MESSENGERS SEEK
FLYERS RELEASE
Two Spanish Officers Feared Held
for Ransom in
Sahara.

By the Associated Press.
CANALEJAS, Spain, May 29.-While
several coast, guard cutters and, mail
boats today patrolled the African coast,
messengers were sent inland from Span
ish military posts in the hope of re-
leasing Commandante Ricardo Burguete
and Capt. Nunez Maza and their COM
panions, believed held for ransom in the
Sahara Desert by wild tribesmen.
The two Spanish officers, with their
mechanic and Moorish chieftain, have
been missing for week after their
two airplanes were forced down in an
as yet INDICATED spot.
Spanish scouts today were conduct
ing authorized representatives of the
government into the wilds to arrange
the aviators' release If possible. 1t was
believed several days more would be
needed.
The Moorish chieftain was Mohamed
Ben Albuya, who was employed by the
Spanish African Colonial Service.
Difficulties of transportation, it was
said, formed the chief obstacle to early
relief of the captives. Government ad-
vices said no harm had come to the
party or their two planes, but that 1t
was understood the tribesmen demanded
about $4,000 to release them.
