DONNA OUT TO
POUR IT ON
Rated Underdogs, WERNER
Determined To Fight
Hard Battle

McALLEN. Oct. ga powerful
Indian outfit will swoop down
upon McAllen Friday hoping 70
take back 70 their lairS enough
Bulldog scalps to please their
chieftaln, Claude Daley.
That Donna will shoot the
works" in that game is a known
fact, for Daley has been pointing
his team for this game all season,
and according to Donna fans, Nc
Allen is in for a hectic evening.
Just why the Donna leader has
picked on the Bulldogs on which
TO spend his ire is not certain, al
though Donna and Edinburg fans
do recall another strong Donna
aggregation which journeyed 10
the Capitol City TO play a paper
set UP. and then Weir's men pass
ed their way TO a IS to Is victory.
This Is the first time since that
time that Daley has had a chance
TO wreak vengeance on his former
achoo,mate, and If the dope Is no.
badly off. some vengeance will be
wreaked before the DONATES start
their homeward trudge from Nc
Allen.
In that game fans will have an
opportunity TO see the best pass
finger that has ever been known
to fill a RedsSin suit. This young
man Is Davis, quarterback, who
nonchalantly losses q pigskin into
a bucket at fifty yards. On the
receiving end Of these losses will
be Hornbuckle, Fenner and Nor
wood, shifty backs. who have de-
veloped into real pass snatcheTS.
In Donna line plays, too. fans
will have opportunity 70 see just
what the coach means when he
says, run interference" For Those
Donna lads do run interference, as
proven In the Donna-Robstown
game, when Dailey's men handed
the Cotton Pickers a neat IA 70
II whipping.
Up in McAllen, the feeling is
not so tense. as Weir realizes that
his only chance is TO try and hold
those powerful Redskins TO a re-
spectacle score. Weir's two plum
gers. Jones and Karam, are in the
very pink Of condition, and they
will have their real test this Fri
day. Chidlow, McAllen's pasSer
and punter, received a broken
wrist last Friday, and his fine
punts and passes will be missed
by the Bulldogs. Weir plans on
starting him, however, and IL Is
hoped that the heady little quar-
terback will be able TO bolster the
spirit of the team at least by
doing the punting.
Both teams are undefeated this
season, and there is no doubt that
a lot depends on this tilt TO be
played on McAllen soil Friday
afternoon, N,en the dopeSters
pick the teams for Valley honors.
Starting for the two teams will
be:
