Special to The Herald.)
McALLEN, Aug. l6.-McAllen
High School Bulldogs, this city's
hope for the 1880 Valley grid PEN
naat. have paced through what
many fans term a stiff week Of
workouts under the tutelage Of
Mentor Cowboy" Ogan during the
past six days.
But the truth OF the matter,
Cowboy" complacently points out,
is that the first weeks practice
rounds we're just condition affairs
and that his men will get down TO
hard labor starting bright and
early Monday afternoon. August
IS, just "a hours from today.
Formal announcement Of the
rigid week Of work had been post
ed this morning.
Doing exactly like he said he
would, Ogan is at work on his line
problems, two or three of which
are facing him just at the present
time.
With the veteran Clifton Switzer
back in the lineup after a years
absence from grid circles here. the
situation looks a little bit bright
er. Switzer played a hang-up game
with the Dogs back in % and is
slated for end, tackle OF guard berth
this year. Other veterans back this
season include Bud Earnest and
Charlest Modest, ends. Barney
Jackson. center. John Hayse and
George Karam, guards and Cap
tain Butch" Stutzenbacker, tackle.
That leaves Just one tackle post
to fill, but Og2n has a few plans
about revamping some Of these
linemen into backs-maybe.
At present Penny Frisby is the
only seasoned backfield mar avail
able. Darwin Jones. whose arrival
for the fall training camp is ex-
pected at any moment. should be
in line for the fullback Job. But
finding two men to fill the quarter
back and other halfback posts Is
something that will worry the
Bulldog boss.
Freddy Webb, new member Of
the squad who comes Up from the
dashing 1929 Valley championship
Bull Pup junior high school team,
is looked upon as a backfield
candidate.
Shouldering their war willows
and picking up their mitts. Harley
Jackson's McAllen Legionnaires
will saunter down 10 the camp OF
La Feria Boosters Sunday for a
scrap with that city's Valley league
club.
The Legionnaires will be out for
a win, for Jackson has set his goal
at winning al three remaining tits
on the seasons scheduled in an
effort to kick Harrington out Of
second place in the Valley loop and
nestle his own fighting club be-
meath the topnotch San Benito
Saints. conceded winners OF the
seasons chase in this section.
Frank Shipley. the Legionnaires
hillock ace, is still missing and will
probably not be on the slab when
the Jacksonmen march out to take
on the La Ferians. In his stead
Carl Fitz will likely be called on to
hurl the contest. Ii Carl Is as steady
as he was against Mission here
last Sunday, the game will be Nc
Aliens.
Jackson's stellar batting array,
composed Of Punk Young. backstop,
Arthur Guerra, second sacker,
Johnny Young, short fielder, and
Walter Langford. center fielder,
will be back in the game. And pos
sibly Fitz will again have his bat
ting eye peeled as he did last
Sunday, when he garnered four
hits in five trips TO the pan.
The second of a four-weeks series
