Three i-ntersectlonal tilts are on
the Valley grid docket for this week.
FRIDAY the Harlingen Cardinals
travel 10 Kingsville to do battle with
The A. & I. Freshmen. The Cardinals,
last years Region Eight champions,
apparently are headed for another
undefeated season. The Freshmen
will probably be the toughest op-
ponents they have drawn this seas
on, with the possible exception OF
the Port Arthur Yellowjackets.
San Benito will play host 10
KinzsviIle Friday also. Little has
been heard of the K~ingsville aggre-
cation, but a strong club Is expected.
h. week the Hounds took a
t3f~nping at Robstown.
The third intersectional fray will
catch the Brownsville Junior Col
lege Scorpions doing battle with the
Fourteenth Field Artillery at
Brownsville Saturday. The Scorpions
should begin to take on polish by
that time. They showed much in
dividual power last week in cleaning
out the 23rd infantry. Coach Red"
Irvine is now moulding a machine
for the tough games to come-Scn-
reiner. AggieS, John Tarleton, etc.
It's dollars to doughnuts the Scorp
fans will see a smoothly clicking
machine Saturday.
The "B" ranks will get down 10
business this week. The La FeTla-
Donna game tops the bill. Both clubs
are undefeated and one Is certain
to 20 under. The game is at Donna
Friday.
Another important game will find
P-S ia at Mission. The TRICKY
team is undefeated while Mission Is
playing her first "B" game. The Ms
sionites made a good showing against
the Halingen Cardinals in their
opening conflict.
Another game Of interest Is WeS-
laco at Mercedes. The young ana
inexperienced Weslaco team has not
broken into the win column. Mer-
cedes' best claim to fame Is a tie
contest.
