SAN BENITO. Feb. 27.-Hidalgo
county basketball clubs made merry
at the expense Of Cameron county
entries here last night and the
round robin OF the Valley league
upened IN sensational style.
Keeping the fans ga-ga through
OFT, the McAllen Monitors defeated
the Harrington Methodists, defending
valley champions. 50-49 in a holly
contested battle that vowed the
fans. In the other fray Of the night,
the Edinburg Firemen took a 1888
fall out OF the crippled San Benito
saints. That made 1t an all-Hidalgo
night.
THE hectic battle between the
MethodIst8 and the McAllen con-
tinRent was a clssh Of two highly
scared scoring machines. Army
Armstrong and Snavely led the at
tack for the Methodists. while Vest
and Kindrick equalled their work
for the Monitors.
At the half, the score stood 24-20
In favor OF the Methodists and the
defending champions were moving
around In great style.
At the opening Of the second half.
the Monitors came back with q
rush that was not to be denied.
They soon caught w with their
opponents and ran up a ten point
margin over them. Vest, Kindrick
and Ramsey took time about in
dumping the ball into the hopper.
Cowboy Ogan's crew seemed like
a new team taking the ball down
under their own basket In lightning
fashion and seldom missing their
shots.
Toward the end OF the game. the
Methodists began a climb from be-
hind which vas short BY only one
point.
With five minutes to play. the
Monitors had the Methodists a.
50. The Methodists began hustling
hard with Army and Snavely lead
inc the way. The Monitors got but
two more points while the Method
lists were scoring IL points. The
fairs let out a vociferous yelp when
the gun went off, relieving thei
pent up emotions. It's a safe bet
that everyone who saw the game
last night viii be back on hand
Tor the second McAllen- Harrington
contest. Despite unfavorable wea-
Their, a fair crowd was present at
the opening Of the round robin.
