Kickoff
WHAT-Football. j. c. Scorps VS..
Aggie Freshmen.
WHERE-Tucker Field.
WHEN-3 D. m. Friday.

With the exception OF three In
jured players, Billy Summers. Doc
Lawrence and Johnny McNabb, the
Brownsville Junior College Scorpions
were primed today for their collision
with the A. e. M. Freshmen here at
3 D. m. Friday afternoon.
Having knocked over two army
teams in warming up exercises and
fully recognizing the strength OF the
Aggie Freshmen, the Scorpions are
in excellent condition both physically
and mentally. This week has been
spent in polishing up the Scorp at
tack and ironing out minor defects
which cropped out IN the army
games. The squad was TO go through
a light exercise this afternoon TO put
it on edge for the game Friday.
This morning Coach Roswell Hig-
ginbotham and Bones Irving, Aggie
coaches, boarded a train at College
Sation with a squad Of Is players.
The Aggie chances were enhanced
by the recent addition Of j. t. Gre
CORY who played fuilback with the
lNAEA 4AAEAl oAaLt AAdA4AHAOAAS AaoN -
son. Gregory Is reputed to be a dead
" kicker and passer and in addition
IS a good ball carrier. He will likely
be at the tailback position when the
Scorps and Aggie sline-up for the
kickoff.
The team Higginbotham is bring
ing here Is the best Aggie club that
has come TO Brownsville In the past
three years. Hig has been busy de-
veloping a team this year. something
that he did not have heretofore. The
Fish usually brought a flock Of in
dividaul stars with little machine
work. This year it's going TO be diff
ferent. according 10 word nom Col

The visitors know the local style
OF play pretty well. Hig has seen II
for two years and Irvine saw it last
year when he brought st. Mf1y's
University here.
Be that as 1t will. Red Irvine will
likely have some new tricks to show
the boys.

Hard Fight Between
Forward Walls

CHICAGO. Oct. 22-P-Heartly
Hunk) Anderson, Notre Danes
senior football coach, IS singing a
new theme song for his men this
week-and the title is That Pitts
burgh line"
Anderson's scouts have brought
in terrifying reports concerning
the Panthers' line. and the more he
hears about it, the less the work
OF his own forwards appeals TO
him. They failed to shove the fresh
men line around yesterday and
Anderson told them some more
about the best line in the east"
and finished By saying:
THAT PITTSBURGH line will charge
you fellows right out Of the park
Saturday. You've got to charge
faster or you are going to take a
beating"
Nothing has happened to the
Irish ball-carrying force. however.
and II Anderson'S treatment or the
line situation proves satisfactory,
Pittsburgh will have a full after
noon in its first appearance IN the
new brick stadium at South Bend.

best bouts available. and Promoter
Ernie Stephens is justly proud OF
the lineup.
II Is the kind Of bill he has been
angling for for several weeks. and
nov he has landed ii. Each OF the
four principals is a headliner in
his own right. and each Is expected
TO draw heavy play. Brown has not
been seen in the Valley for some
time. but created quite a sensation
upon his previous appearance. Since
that time he has improved a hun
dred per cent. according to press
notices, and the Mexican will no
doubt give the Irishman a heavy
battle Thursday night. However. Pat
states the tougher they are the bet
ter he likes them. so the bout should
turn out full OF action. Craig will
meet the toughest OPPOSITION or his
showings here when he meets
Guthrie. who holds wins over such
men as Billy Edwards and Able
Coleman. However. Craig also has
beaten some OF the best. and to-
morrow nights semi-final should be
more than interesting. Both me-
are scrapDers. and no doubt the
match will be a rough affair.
