QUINTERO IS
STAR OF TILT
Locals Get II Firstdowns
AS Compared to z
For Visitors

DAck, charging 1hTu out OF the
tailback position, the Brownsville
high school Screaming Eagles nosed
out the Harlingen high Cardinals
1912 here Thursday afternoon in
the annual renewal Of their Turkey
Day grudge classic. II was Browns
vtlle's third win over the Card
inals in as many years, and the
game rang down the curtain on the
Valley class "A" race.
Harlingen appeared TO be over
anxious and was outplayed by a
wider margin than the score tends
to indicate. With Quintero doing
the heavy work, the Aguilas rolled
up IA firstdowns to seven for the
visitors, and they were deep in
Card touchdown territory when the
gun ended the half and the game.
Offside penalties were numerous
and drew a chorus OF disapproval
from the Harrington stands. The
locals drew eight penalties for so
yards and Harlingen was assessed
seven penalties for the same yard
age.
The Eagles took the opening
kickoff, hit the line twice and
punted cut. Harlingen punted back
and on the next play recovered an
Eagle tumble on the Brownsville %.
The AguilaS returned the compli-
ment by grabbing a Card tumble
on the next play and began a
touchdown drive from their own %
yard line. With Quintero doing the
heavy work out Of the tailback
position, the Eagles rolled up five
consecutive firstdownS. McDavitt
aided the drive with a couple Of
flashy runs and Perez snagged a
nice peg from Quinterc. An offside
penalty finally placed the ball on
the vineyard line, and two plays
later Quintero lunged over at
center. A wild pass from center
prevented Quintero from kicking
for the extra point.
On the most sensational play of
the contest, Van Hoy took the
opening kickoff on his 20 yard line.
In a slowly developing play he
emerged from q mass OF players,
and with the aid Of excellent block
ing sped to the Brownsville three
yard line before being run out Of
bounds. Bittick's kick for point was
wide and the score was tied Go.
Then followed several exchanges
Of punts with Brownsville getting
the edge thanks to Billy McDavitts
toe. and the Aguilas finally gained
possession Of the oval at midfield.
Line plays and passes. Quintero to
McDavitt and McNair to Quintero,
placed the ball on the vineyard
stripe and Quintero hit left tackle
for the marker. The last pass was
good for about 10 yards, including
a nice run by Quintero. "Quinto"
then kicked the extra point which
ultimately won the encounter.
The Cardinals came right back
with their second touchdown. They
punted and recovered a Browns
vile tumble ball on the Browns
vile SO. Van Hoy passed to Will
liams to the left for the touch
down. He went across standing up.
j. Sanders was sent in but his kick
for extra point was wild.
The Eagles carried the fight 10
the visitors during the last quarter
but did not score. In the closing
moments Of play, the Eagles gained
possession Of the ball on the Har-
lingen 43 and drove down the field
on successive firstdowns. They had
the ball on the Cardinal 4 yard line
as the game ended.
About LOO fans, many Of them
