!

BROWNSVILLE fans are set to
see lots OF top-notch football this
season as both the high school
Eagles and Junior college Scorpions
have good clubs. The high school
boys got into action last Friday at
Weslaco and pulled their punch
after the first quarter. The spat-
tering Of Brownsville fans which
saw the game were highly enthused
over the Eagles. They're coming
back, and they're coming back
strong. The Eagles do not have a
game this week. Attention will be
diverted toward the Scorpions.
THE COLLEGE club will take on
the 23rd Infantry here at $3.50 p. m.
Friday, opening the local season.
Many fans will be out to look over
the 81 edition OF the Scorps. Tick
cts are now on sale at downtown
points. School authorities urge fans
to purchase their boards early In
order to avoid congestion at the
gates.
WHY NOT q Valley women's golf
tournaments A tournament Of this
sor should draw IS or 40 entries
and there should be considerable
interest. Brownsville has five or six
top flight golfers and a number OF
good players have been developed
on the Harlingen course.
BOXER vs.. wRESTLER-who
wins? That seems to be a moot
question around ownsville Of late.
There isn't but one answer. The
wrestler would win. AL things even
All the wrestler has to do Is 70
pin the boxers shoulders. Tee
fighter has to kayo the wrestler.
II goes like this: The grappler ducks
under the boxers first blow and
pins his arms. He dumps the fight
er TO the mat and then his punch
in, Is through. Pinning the shoul-
ders Is merely q formality. You'd
be surprised at the number OF peo-
pie who think the fighter would
win. Regardless Of how good the
fighter is. he cannot win without
landing a knockout In the first five
minutes. Fans are ~agitating Ernie

Minnesota Was First In
Local Road Work IN 1880
More Miles of Secondary Routes
Surfaced Last Year Than In
Any Other State

More miles of local roads were
surfaced in Minnesota in 1880 than
in any other statI, according to fig
ures compiled by the u. s. Bureau
of Public Roads. Minnesota was
first with 1897, Wisconsin second
with 2,7s4, Ohio third with 2,241
and Tennessee fourth with 2,183.
The figures include all rural roads
except trunk highways.
The total miles OF local roads sur
faced in all the states in 1880 was
35 1888, so the word done by Mime
sofa counties and townships was
more than one-tenth of the nations
total. The figures, says a Highway
Bulletin, should refute the belief
occasionally expressed, that Min
nesota is concentrating its road
work on the trunk routes. :.
The mileage of surfaced local
