BOBCATS BESET BY
INJURIES

EDINBURG, Nov. q. Gloom
settled over the camp Of the Edin-
burg Bobcats Thursday as they
definitely learned that Bob Brum-
ley, their ace backfield man and
field general, would not be able to
get into the game Friday night be-
tween the Edinburg Bobcats and
the Brownsville Eagles due to a
knee injury sustained in the Rio
Hondo game last week.
Brumley remained in bed until
Thursday morning when he was
brought TO town for another exam
ination Of his knee at which time
DR.. c. j. Hamme stated that he
should be kept out Of the game. A
cartilage was thought TO be cracked
since the injured part had failed to
respond to treatment.
This viii considerably dim the
Bobcats chances Of measuring the
Brownsville crew In their clash
Friday night for Brumley has been
the Bobcat mainstay all season. He
IN q consistent ground gamer, de-
pending largely on his weight and
line smashing ability to rip off long
gains in every game he has appear
ed IN to date. He calls signals from
the fullback position, does all the
punttng and a lions share Of the
ba1 carrying and the Cats viii
S0kely miss his services.
Since Brumley viii not be permit
ted TO appear IN the lineup, Harold
Wilson will take over the running
OF the team from his position at
quarter and there Is a possibility
that Herndon Aderhold will be
moved 10 the backfieid from end TO
I'LL Brumley's shoes.
Joe Hunt, Bobcat right half. also
received q knee injury last week but
has Jared somewhat better than
Brumley and will see service in the
contest. but his starting the game
IL doubtful.
To date. the Bobcats have not q
single conference win 70 their
credit and were looking forward
20 breaking into the win column.
But since their star performer will
be out, they hold little hope Of DOING

Lineup Not Determined
Coaches Cannon and Magee have
made no announcement as to how
the starting lineup will be arranged
but IN all probability 1t will be:
Dick Brumley and Aderhold. ends,
II Hunt Is able 10 start IN the back
field; johnson and Russell, tackles;
Broaddus and Cara, guards;
Skinner, center; Wilson, quarter;
Wright and Duncan, halfbacks and
sither Hunt or Aderhold at full.
Richard Duncan, diminutiye half
back, barely reaching a height OF
five feet, six inches and weighing
less than las. Is rapidly turning into
one OF the fleetest backs in the Bob
cat lineup. He has seen service In
al the Bobcat encounters and has
turned in at least one spectacular
run IN each OF them. His main fault
noticed so far is his inability TO
stay behind his interference. He
speciaiizes in sweeping end runs
and though the line affords him
good blocking, he Is too fast for
them and invariably runs off and
leaves them. He is almost certain
70 start ct the right half position
Friday night. In addition the being
valuable on offenSe, he Is one Of
the deadliest tacklers on the entire
Bobcat squad and there are very
few backs who can outrun him in
the broken field.
The Eagles are known TO have q
fine pair Of performers in Quintero
and Fernandez and the Bobcats are
set to stop them. Edinburg fans
are OF the opinion that Cannon's
charges have an outside chance 70
win II these two boys can be stopped
effectively.
