Out Of four intersectional games,
Valley teams took two. The Browns
Vile Scorps rated ~favorites over the
23rd Infantry as did the Harlingel
Cardinals over the st. Mary's But

took easy victories. San Benito was

Football for All.
ELEVEN men squads are all too
frequent in football. However. sucn
a condition does not obtain in
Brownsville. The motto here seems
TO be "all for football and football

mately 100 Brownsville school boys
actively taking part in games. The
same thing will be the case again
this week when four games are to
be played. Wednesday the high

weights In a full time game. Thurs
day an Eagle squad plays Ell Jardin.
Friday the reserves go to Lyford and
Saturday the Scorps will engage
the Fourteenth Field artillery here.
Upward Of a hundred local play
ers will get into these games.
FOR THE first time in history,
the Scorpions have ample first rate
reserves. This was demonstrated here
Friday when a steady stream "
Substitutions went into the game
from the Scorpion bench. While this
did not make for smooth team play,
1t was easy to see the individual

old drive Friday. Bill ripped off 4
50-yard run on his first offensive
play for a touchdown. 1t was almost
identical with the opening run ne
made against Breckenridge high

troversy between Czechoslovakia and
Hungary 1t is obvious that the ultimate
cause of the friction is not oats nor
potatoes, but Slovakia, which for the
last IL years has been the stake of the
diplomatic gamble between Czecho-
slovakia and Hungary.
Position Of SIovakIa.
Slovakia is politically a No Mans
Land. Before 1918 it occupied the
northernmost part of the Kingdom of
Hungary, and now it is the eastern part
of the Republic of Czechoslovakia,
which came into life at the end of the
World War. 1t is claimed by both the
Czechs and the Hungarians. 1t Is also
claimed by the Slovaks.
For the CZechs the Slovak question
does not exist. In the view of the
Czechs the Slovaks are their kin. part
ners in the same gigantic adventure of
nation building. They point with pride
to their joint achievements. Among
the new nations of Europe Czecho-
slovakia Is the only one that can be
said to have placed its existence on a
firm basis. 1t has the unique distinc-

remarked. after all, the few
drops that you conserve won't
make any difference"
They don't make any diff

When he saw from my ex-

sufficient; so at noon the next day he
presented himself to the King with the

But meantime the face of things had
changed at the palace. The King had
been in consultation with the "old
gang" so to speak. Perhaps he had
perused the comment of the Partisan
press. Perhaps the visit Of Senior Guerra
to the jails had unpleasantly affected
him. Perhaps he saw in the arrange
ment with Guerra the menace Of dread
full anarchy and national upheaval.
Perhaps the royal pride had resurged
irresistibly. At any rate, the King had
changed his mind. He so indicated by
objections to the proposed personnel of
the new government. Old Guerra took
his departure.
Now what? OF course certain mill

4 A do, aims at a political objective.
Its avowed cause is a large sur
plus Of agricultural produce in both
countries, which sets them at cross pur-
poses. Czechoslovakia denounced the
trade treaty of 1927 and increased her
tariff on grain, whereupon Hungary
protested. Attempts at the adjustment
of the differences proved futile, and the
result was what amounts to a severance
of commercial relations.
If this incident were not the potential
cause of dangerous political repercus-
sions it would not be any different from
the average run of trade wars. But in
eastern central Europe such incidents
often have remarkable echoes. One is
reminded of the Serbian pigs which II
years ago were barred from Hungary
and which, in very unpiglike fashion,
set the world on fire. They precipi-
tated political crisis between Austria
Hungary and Serbia that, in turn, set
off the revolver Of a Serbian student,
which was the direct cause of the out
break of the World War.
Although no such dire results are ex-
pected to grow out of the present con-
