HOUSTON HAS

Locals Have Everything To
Gain And Nothing

Brownsville high schools climb
back up the football ladder will meet
q formidable barrier here Friday
afternoon in John Reagan high Of
Houston.
Three years ago the Eagles had a
wonder team. The boys graduated
and the following year the Eagles
were distinctly in the dumps. They
showed occasional flashes OF good
football, but the material just wasn't
there.
This year the Eagles have shown
much promise. Red Irvine and Ben
Brite have developed a clicking
machine that can give mos. Of them
q hard run for their money.
But-John Reagan would be an
ambitious bite for a club OF state
championship calibre. The Reagan
ties, themselves, are strongly coun-
ting on a state title this season.
This will be the first time the
Eagles Of 81 have performed before
a first-rate club. They expect -
surprise the Houston visitors with a
staunch defense. The coaching staff
is working hard in p~erfecting a de-
Tense against the Houston offenSe.
The boys are in an excellent frame
OF mind. A victory Is unexpected, but
they are going in there TO play .
hard fought contest with everything
d. cain and little TO lose.
1.-THE Eagles pony backfield has
shown n lot OF dash and drive. They
may give the Reaganites something
TO puzzle over before the game has
teen completed. The Eagle backs,
led by Ed Ems. have a lot OF speed
and the boys never stop driving.
The Eagle line Is a seasoned outfit
by now. Reagan will not find 1t an
easy forward wall to puncture.

What fans consider is hot
wrestling news is the announce
ment that Pat O'Brien, the wild
Irishman. will be featured an the
main event Of Promoter Ernie Ste
phens' weekly wrestling card at the
Legion Sports arena Thursday
night. Pat, idol OF Valley wrestling
fans, has been taking a long lay
off, resting up and getting into
condition for strenuous ring war
fare in the Valle,.
The Irishman Is considered the
greatest drawing card to appear in
stephens arenas, and the local
promoter has spent much persistent
effort in getting O'Brien back here.
Thursday night he is matched
against Tony lie Blanc, the French
Canadian who has proved such a
stumbling-block in the path OF
many good men. lie Blanc is
spending the week getting into
shape and taking a rest, and should
be formidable opposition for Pat
this week.
Almost equalling the main event
in fan interest Is the semi-winduD
which marks the return Of George
Poulos 10 the local arena. Barred
from further activities for some
time here a few weeks ago, George
nov promises to behave. and Ste
phens has matched him for the
semi-final event with George Craig,
the Tulsa smi. v.
Fans can visualize the action that
will undoubtedly be crammed into
this match. for Craig Is determined
TO show the Greek that ne can also
give and take his share Of the
rough stuff to the extent OF COM
ing out victor. But whoever wins.
1t will be a bout packed with thrills

Tyson End Calls
Signals For Frog
Team This Year

FORT WORTH, Oct. l3.-Texas
Christian fans may get a chance 10
see Madison Pap Pruitt, junior
end from Waco, calling signals from
a wing position In some Of the con-
ference tiltS this year. TO date
Coach Schmidt has been far from
pleased with the field ~geneTalShip
of any Of his backs. and as a last
resort, he Is falling back on the
former pupil of Paul Tyson TO direct
his attack on the field.
There Is little doubt but that
Pruitt is the Smartest player on the
Horned Frog roster. The Christian
mentor conceived OF the idea last
year when Leland and Hinton were
not directing the attack as ne
thought it should be.
But there are certain diSadvan-
tages from the standpoint Of posi-
ton that an end has 10 compete with
that a back does not have to con-
s.der. An end cannot see the weak
nesSes from his position as easily
as q back. At any rate, with Fruits
natural football sense, he should be
able to call plays more skillfully
than the present crop OF quarter
backs from their strategical posi-
ton.
Pruits is putting a little personality
in his signal barking that Is unusual,
While the team is in its crouched
position, he stands at full height and
barks the play, and then cries. Get
your mani which Is a signal for a
designated man in the backfield 70
call the second series in which the
snap-number Is included.
The Horned Frog roster has been
without a capable field general AID
paSser since Howard Grubbs was
graduated after the 1929 season. The
Christian mentor still bemoans
Grubb's graduation and made ref
erence to the present Lufkin high
school coach no later than last week
in Tulsa. Wouldn't ii have been 4
oinch if we'd have had "Grubbsie'
in there with them using that kind

men in the lobby.
