banquet to be given at Harlingen by
the Valley Amateur Basketball
league. Profits derived from this af-
fair will be placed in a pot to be
used in sending the champions to
the Texas Amateur Federation
championship tournament. Some 200
people T expected to chomp the
grub tonight. About l60 of them will
be players. the remainder fans, man.
ayers, sport scribes, etc. The affair
is open TO any interested in basket
ball, providing they have the nee
esSary $3.50.
SPITZ CLARK, vice president Of
the league. is very anxious to take
a pair Of winning clubs to San An
tonio-his old stomping grounds.
Spitz wants to show them that VAL
ley athletics are Oh a par with the
article turned out in the Alamo
City. The chief obstacle in his way
is finances, hence the banquet. The
tow-head's plea for money was SO
heart-rending that the sports scribes
gently sobbed and agreed to pay
for their lunch. If you would see
tradition shattered, be on hand to-
night and watch Bish Clements.
Brad Smith and the rest Of the
boys eat at $3.50 per plate.
THE basketball chase Is not over,
although the bracket champions are
in. Edinburg and the Harlingen
Methodists have not lost a tilt in
their 14-game schedule. But the run
ner-up position in both brackets is
in a sad way. McAllen and Donna
are tied for second in the upper
bracket. They will play it off Tues
day night at some point to be de-
Signated at the banquet tonight. The
runner-up position is in al even
worse shape in the lower bracket
San Benito has possession Of second.
but the Junior College has a chance
TO tie her by winning a postponed
game from the Model Laundry
Cleaners. The Scorpions announced
they were ready to play any time.
but no date had been set early
Monday morning. II it is not patch
ed up, the Scorpions will claim a for
felt. placing them in a tie with San
Benito.
THEN the logical thing for the
Saints 10 do would be to demand
that their protested game with the
Model Laundry be played over. The
Cleaners have credit for the
game but the agreement was that
in case either club was in a position
to become runner-up at the end Of
the season that the contest be play
ed over. 1t looks as though every
thing hinges upon this fray. In case
you didn't know, the r%unners-up gel
a chance at the Valley championship
as they + to play in a round robin
with the title holders. The two clubs
which emerge winners from this
roundlay will make the trip up
state to participate in the Texas
Amateur Federation tournament.
COACH J. d. FOSTERS Edin-
burg high Bobcat quint, Valley
champion. will meet Sheik Davis
Kingsville Brahmas in the near fu-
ture for the bi-district champion
ship. The club which energies VIC
tOrious will make the trip to Austin,
participating in the state touna-
ment. The Brahmas had no easy
time in winning their district. In
the final event they barely nosed
out Mathis 24-22 in a hard fought
contest. On the other hand, the
Bobcats took things rather easy at
McAllen Saturday. There were some
boys on the siGelines-the McHi
Bulldogs-however, who had given
the Bobcats a close call IN he HI
dalgo county tourney. HID the
Macks gotten into the district, they
would have won almost As easily as
did Edinburg. They were champs
