Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-11-19

The gridiron history OF Valley
and District Eight football will be
decided in the Valley Friday.
Harrington and Weslaco. both un-
defeated and united. will fight it
out between themselves az Harlin-
gen for the Valley championship.
The District Eight championship
will BE in the sling when the
Austin high Maroons com to
Brownsville for an engagement with
the Screaming Eagles. The Maroons
need a victory over Brownsville to
clinch the title. They will meet
staunch opposition.
Ohter games Of the day should
prove interesting also. San Benito
travels to Donna for a contest with
the scrappy Redskins. The Grey
hounds are not taking this game
lightly. for the Redskins have prov
ed time after time that they are
a dangerous little aggregation.
Grudge Game
Mission at McAllen-that's a
blood event brothers. Mission and
McAllen are arch enemies on any
field OF athletic competition that
YOU might happen 70 mention. and
football in particular. A victory
over Mission would redeed a some
what dismal season for the Bulb
dogs. Curtis Beatty has turned out
a good Mission club in his first
season and now has his aggrega-
ticn With a $3.50 break for the
season.
The upper-Valley however, will
be particularly interested in the
Weslaco-Harlineen affair. Both I.
Z. Martin and Solid" Rektorik
have turned out excellent clubs this
season. They would have made a
powerful showing in class "A"
circles. The Cardinals have stormed
their way through Valley teams in
sensational fashion and in addition
have taken the measure OF the
Robstown Cotton Pickers and the
Port Arthur Yellow Jackets. These
teams rate high in "A circles.
Rivals
Martin and Rektorik Jointly
coached the All-Valley squad last
season and they are old friends.
Consequently rivalry is high. Martin
says he hasn't a chance. but
Rektorik is taking his declaration
with a grain OF salt. The Panthers
have a Slashing running attack and
a good passing game. Harlingen's
strength Is in a powerful forward
wall and a power thrust off tackle.
How well the Partners tackles
stand up under the hammering
OF Jimmy Lawrence and his
mates will be pretty much the
history or the game. Weslaco will
likely take 10 the aerial route be-
cause OF the strength Of the Card
inals line. Harlingen should win,
but not by a large score.
The Brownsville Screaming
Eagles are primed for the game OF
their lives against Austin. Five Of
the boys-Captain Frank Cortez,
Benway, Cara. Donald Bennett,
McMinn and J. L. Lee-will be play
ing their last game under the
Brownsville high school colors.
Kerrville has cancelled her Thanks
giving game with the Eagles. max
inc the game here Friday the last
or the year for the locals.
Austin Due
These boys singing their gridiron
swan song can be expected 70 play
the best game OF their lives. The
boys have been ~practicing hard all
week and should be in tic-top
shape for the Maroons, an admit
tedly powerful club.
Austin will come here tomorrow,
bolstered by a lively cheering squad.
A large pep rally will be staged
tomorrow night with the Austin
cheer leaders taking part in the
activities.
