HARLINGEN, Oct. 81. The
game between the San Benito
Oreyhounds and the Raymondyille
Bearkats which the Hounds won W
So TO 0. was an eye opener and re-
veals the san Benltans as capable
OF giving the Harlingen high school
Cardinals a hard game when they
meet here at 3:45 d. m. Friday in
a renewal of their annual grudge."
said Coach j. A. CDutch) Recktorik
Wednesday.
Coach Rektorik. who was a
spectator in the San Benito stand
while bis own Cardinals enjoyed
an open date. admits that he saw a
smooth working San Benito team
with a fine running attack and
a good passing game.
Although the Hounds have been
doing well all season except for
their reverse at Robstown, they
heretofore had been looked on as
easy prey for the Glass "A" Card
inalS. That Is not the case at this
time.
Cards Go Strong
The Cards opened the season with
an easy 33-to-0 victory over Mission
and then went TO Port Arthur,
where they whipped the Yellow
Jackets for the second successive
year by two touchdowns. The Cards
returned TO give the st. Mary's
Academy eleven Of san Antonio a
thorough thrashing before going on
the road again TO play the Texas
College OF Arts and Industries
Freshmen at Kingsville. There they
suffered their only reverse Of the
season, losing by one touchdown.
The Greyhounds showed nothing
except promise when they eked out
a 6-to-O victory over Mercedes in
the seasons opener. They dropped
their second game by four touch
downs at Robstown before starting
their comeback at home against the
KingSville Brahmas with a 50-to-0
win. followed last week by a similar
toDheavy victory over the Bear
katS.
Excellent interference and block
ing have helped the Hounds gain
much ground, although they have
at times been considerably out
weighed al they will be at Harlin-
gen Friday. The Hounds have been
encouraged by their recent success
and hope to make a big bid for the
long end OF the score against Har-
lingen.
