The Rio Grande Valley Basket
bali league has hit its dramatic
climax with the season only two
thirds gone.
The startling upset Of the hith-
erto ~undefeated Edinhurg Firemen
Friday night by the McAllen Mont
tors threw the upper-bracket inI).
n three-way scramble from which
anything might result.
The Firemen. led BY the Win
ningham trio. had breezed through
eleven straight victories before they
fell to the incorporation of Vest.
Ramsey a. Go. Up TO that time. Ii
appeared that the firemen were set
to coast into victory harbor while
resting their oars Now Edinburg.
McAllen. and Edcouch are all very
much In the upper-section race.
Ask the Fans
AS everyone knows. the lower
bracket is in a turmoil over the
classic struggles between the San
Benito Saints and the Harrington
Methodists. The last fray between
these clubs viii likely determine
just exactly who shall be called
Uncle IN the lower loop.
The situation in the upper hrack-
ct is a little complicated and the
figures in the standings do not tell
the whole story.
For instance. Edinburg and Ed
couch are tied for first hcnors, but
they have q postponed game be-
tween them and someone Is GER
tain to 60 down. Edcouch now has
credit for a victory over McAllen
and 1t Is l.ktly that this tilt will
have to be played over due to q re-
feree's rulings. McAllen also has a
postponed fray with Fort Ringgold
which should not be SO hard to cop.
There you have the story II a wash
pot Git wouldn't fit in the custom
airy nutshell.
Good Ones Coming
one doesn't have to be up on
Herr EinsJein's theory to deduce
that the upper bracket rae will be
q dead heat between Edcouch. Ed
inburg and McAllen from now on
out and then some.
The lower section gets into ac-
tion Monday night with several
paprika-garnished helpings on the
platter. Harrington will visit the PTi-
mera aggregation. and Supt. Fran
els little club isn't rated a set-up
Tor anyone's crew. The lower brack-
ct leaders will have 10 stomp the
ac~celerator into the f~lOorboards II
they are TO thrive and do well.
Charley Buttons Model Laundry
ouint Of Brownsville will drop In on
the San Benito Saints to pass the
time OF day. The Laundry Cleaners
came TO life recently and handed
the Primera entry n of the
soundest crubbingS II ever received.
II Charley Pickett and his cohorts
are right Monday night. San Ben
ito viii have 70 hustle all the way.
The remaining tiff viii find Rio
Hondo at Sebastian.
Danger Ahead
Tuesday night IN tn eupper flight
the Edcouch at La Blanca fray ap-
pears the cream in the crock The
La Blanca boys have been knocking
EN- over In rapid order. Edcouch
will do well TO beware OF those
Rowan boys. IL would be most en-
barrassing to the Whitlockians to
drop q fray at this time.
The other two leaders. Edinburg
and McAllen, should not have such
a toSgh struggle in coping their
contests. Progreso will drop in ON
the Fremen. while McAllen visits
Fort Ringgold.
Yea, verify. brothers. this race Is
rapidly heating TO the boiling point
and the championship is between
Edinburg. Edcouch. San Benito and
McAllen. There is not ar undefeat-
ed club In the section.
