IN JUNIOR TEAM

SAN BENITO, Sept. l8.-What
may become the strongest football
team in the history OF San Benito
junior high school is cavorting
about on the gridiron under the
tutelage OF Coach Orville Mule
Brown who has been so near the
Valley championship several times
that he could almost feel the hunt
ing between his fingers.
The junior high eleven promises
TO be well balanced in every res
pect with a good strong line and
a fast backfield including good
punters and passers.
II the material On hand shapes
up into a machine 10 will be well
nigh unStoppable.
In addition to some Of the boys
who are back from last year, in
GLIDING Manner and Clos Lawson,
Claude Fuller, Raul Saldana. Joe
Davis Ballenger and Albert Thorn
ton, Coach Brown has found some
promising new talent in the per-
ons OF Bonnie Guadeana and An
drew Achee. Guadeana failed to
show up for practice one day,
Achee stepped in and, presto, be-
came a candidate for his job. Dean
Billeu, brother OF Hogan Billea OF
the high school Greyhounds, also
Is showing up well.
None OF the places have been
decided as vet.
Others on the squad include
Francis McWilllams, Woodrow
Carter, Cullen Mangum, Arnold
Hoefling Robert Ballenger, FauSto
Montalvo. Anselmo Cantu, Victor
Tagle. Edwin Willett and Howard
Kennedy.
Coach Brown has games tenta-
lively scheduled at Weslaco Oct. ~
and with McAllen ere but Mis-
sion. Donna and La Feria are not
anxious to play the locals. Har-
lingen junior high, Santa Rosa.
Rangerville, Lyford and other
teams may be scheduled.
The team Is almost as big as
the senior outfit.

In addition TO this extravaRant dis

with the exception OF Capt. Green
at fullback is of the 1o-second var

ceptionally fast for their size, and
there Is not a man In Bear VOLTS

Triple Threats.
To accompany his extravaganza II
power and speed, Coach Schmidt Is
working daily developing q squad
OF triple threat artists. To date
Grassy Hinton and Vance Woolwine
are the only real triple threats on
the squad. but Red Oliver. Hubert
Dennis. B. w. Spearman, John
Kitchen. paul snow. and Otha TIN
show possibilities OF graduating
from the specialists ranks 10 double
and triple threaters.
The spotlight OF the Horned Frog

the giant form Of Red Oliver.
who will be remembered by the
Southwest fandom as the sorel-
topped kalfback that showed a clean
pair OF heels TO the entire Southern
Methodist eleven on the initial
Of the annual Horned Frog
Mustang game last wear. With his
speed and weight he has always been
an excellent running threat but pre-
vious to this year his passing has
been a bit below the average, and
his punting a fraction below zero.
Since the opening OF the fall camp
last Saturday his passing has inn
proved ~noticeably, and his punting
has gone through q complete change
doubling his former distance.
Hinton at Quarter.
The presence OF Grassy Hinton at
the signal-barking position will NEAR
much to the Frogs. With seven
years OF experience behind him, = ost
OF which has been AT the quarter
back position. he is exceptionally
smart as a field general. On his
shoulders will fall most OF the re-
sponsibility OF punting and passing.
and there are no better blockers and
defensive backs on the team than
this former Cleburne star, who Is
his last year Of collegiate
football.
Spearman Is larger and faster
than last year. Most OF his often
sive value will be In his broken field
running an extraordinary pass
snatchinr ability. He ls also an ex-
cellent defensive back.
Capt. Harlos Green seems TO be
at the peak OF his already coloFtul
collegiate football career. Tipping
the beam at 100. he Is heavier than
he has ever been. His h'ocking. line

due to pull the Christians out OF

Advice to the LoveIorn

. sad when I think of my mother
and my two sisters at home.
The girls would love to take her
away, but they do not make
enough to establish a home, and
mother hates to leave the
house into which she has put
nine years Of hard work. Mother
is really the only one we are
concerned about.
MRS. H. r. s.
Unfortunately, there are men
like your mothers husband.
The trouble is in letting them
start that way. A correspondent
wrote of one who threw a dozen
eggs at the kitchen wall because
the two boiled for his breakfast
were not "coddled." The land
lord did no coddling either when
he presented a bill for the paint
ing of the kitchen wall, which
put a crimp in such impulses for
the future. You do not say
whether this man is your father
or stepfather. If he is your
father, you girls might tell him
that such exhibitions would not
be tolerated. We will be very
glad to receive any suggestions
from ladies who've succeeded
in "gentling" such ill-tempered
souls.
The Washington times., 1931-10-20
The Beauty
Box

Large ankles can be reduced
by sending the feet about in
circles. Cross legs: let the up
permoSt foot do its daily dozen.
A supple ankle makes for pref
tier stepping. Jumping the
rope is a good exercise, but
must be indulged in mildly by
the heavyweights as it is a
strain on the heart. Spiked
heels. those high narrow ones,
weaken the ankles because they
do not permit the foot to get
a solid hold upon the ground.
The lazy colon is responsible
for Sallow complexions-any-
how some Of them. The woman
who grieveS over a yellery-
greenery facial surface will be
benefited by taking the juice
of half a lemon and dash Of
salt in a glass of water before
breakfast. Whether the water
is warm or cold doesn't matter.

stimulant to the intestinal
tract.
Smart girls don't ply the
lipStick and the rouge compact
in the presence of the best
feller. Revealing the cosmetic
source Of beauty does not make
for romance. The man who is
in love regards his dear-heart
as not precisely of this COM
mon earth, but a radiant crea-
ture sprung from the ether.
When the girl of his dreams
haIAS out the old beauty repair
kit, brings forth her pulchritude
props, makes for herself a new
painted face. his idol takes a
step from the pedestal upon
which his sentimental emotions
have placed her. Men are old
fashioned. Honest. they are.

Contract Bird sc
'The Official System"
By E. V. SHEPARD

6eclarer would have won as a
minimum one spade, one heart,
three club, and five diamond
tricks, scoring four-odd and $50
points added for four aces in
one hand.
His Only Play
Failing to obtain a cover for
dummy's queen z carelessly let
Y hold the trick, effectually
blocking the run Of diamonds.
All he could do was to lead a
small card from Dummy, play
his ace, enter dummy with Y'S
good club and clear diamonds
by again leading that suit with
A at the bat. That player de-
clined to aid z by opening an
other suit; A led a club and put
z in.
Glaring at dummy, z saw that
he might gain entry there in
case both opponents would fall
for a very ancient trick. He led
his J of spades. which A was
obliged to win. The latter
gathered in his two good clubs,
forcing z to let 60 one heart:
then A shot back his last spade.
Hoping that B would try to win
the trick, z played low from
dummy, but so did B, forcing z
to win the trick in his own
hand. z had left only the ace
of spades and the Al Of hearts.
Il: took his two good aces. then
yielded to his adversaries the
's.SG trick. Going down one trick.
instead Of winning one trick
over his game contract, was a
hard lesson in learning not to
block the free run Of dummy'S
good suits.
