The Valley gets a class "A" berth
In the interscholastic league. It's
in our own backyard. and does not
embrace any outside clubs. AZ the
meeting In Austin Saturday. RobS-
town champed on the bit. urging
that she be admitted to the Valley
district. However, Red Irvine, rep
resenting the Valley schools. told
the gathering that a Valley dis
trict could not be organized unless
l. was made entirely for the Valley.
And the moguls saw things that
way. AS the thing now stands,
Brownsville and Harrington are now
members Of Glass "A" district No.
16. ANY other Valley school that
wants 20 Join Is eligible. 1t Is
likely that the district will be re-
stricted to six clubs. so the other
schools will have 10 hustle II they
want IN the circuit.
CONTINUING on their undefeat-
ed way. Miss Margaret Valenta's
Brownsville girls basketball sextet
has a game this afternoon with the
La Feria girls. With the Cherry
twins getting staunch support from
the remainder Of the squad, the
local girls seem headed pennant-
ward. 1t appears that the girls are
doing iii basketball what the
Brownsville Eagles OF rs and 20
did in football. More power to
them.
PRE1Y SPITz CLARKE OF the
Valley Basketball league is all hep
ped up over the prospects for a
brilliant play-off after the regular
schedule, is completed. There are
five very excellent clubs in the
Valley-Harlingen and San Benito
In the lower bracket and McAllen.
Edinburg and Edcouch in the upper
bracket. Prexy Clarke hopes 10 ar
range an exciting play off which
will finance the way for the two
winners To the state amateur tour
nament 10 be held at Fort Worth
late in March. Perhaps you recall
the brilliant showing the Metho-
dists made at San Antonio last year.
They we're only four points out Of
a state championship. A league
meeting to determine Just how this
play-off will be arranged is TO be
held Monday Of next week. The
regular lower bracket games on that
day will be moved up 10 Tuesday
Clarke has announced.
THAT GAME at Edinburg to-
-w~LN AAAwm~z 49, T4HA~~AA 49,
the Edcouch tossers should be a
bird. a lulu, a natural. or what
ever other terms OF endearing ex-
prcssions you happen 10 think Of.
These two clubs are tied for the
upper bracket leadership and they
ere going to scrap tooth and toenail.
It's a case Of sink or swim tonight.

Referee Harvey Ballew.
AFTER SEEING some or the ma
tons best professional golfers
shoot sensational golf at Harlln-
gen, Valley minister's are wondering
Just how good Bobby Jones really
Is We've heard more than one fan
ask the question OF how Bobby
would have stacked up in the Har-
lingen meet. Well. this Is what
Bobby said recently along that
line: L don't figure myself q bet
ter golfer than-well, half q dozen
I know" he said frankly. These
fellows at any time are as good
rs I am. and at any time likely 20
be better. I think the reason that
I manage To stay ahead or them
consistently Is simply because 7
try harder than they do"
EVEN II THE doughty Bobby
had been in the Harlingen meet,
il is doubtful whether he could
have matched Craig Woods super
brilliant IS on the opening 10 holes
Saturday. With that Six-par under
h~olstering him up, Craig was able
tc coast In Sunday with even par
figures Of III. His birdie on the
18th hole To nose out Horton Smith
by one stroke was stuff seldom
seer outside OF the movies. Know
ing full well that he had to birdie
the hole or split first money with
the Joplin Pine. Wood was on in
two drives over the 500 yards
distance. He hit the cup with 4

ar eagle. The ball stopped a couple
Of inches from the hole. Wood then
