Insofar as conference standings

staged 1t Robstown when the La
redo Tigers tear into the Cotton
Ptckers. Both clubs r undefeated,
although Roostown had q close call
at the hands OF the Harlingen Card
inals to the tune Of 1912. Laredo
apparently holds a slight edge, and Is
being favored TO finish second IN the
district to the Corpus Christi BUGS.

went to the finals OF the state race
last season. Laredo, with four
straight victories TO her credit, has
the best record In the district, but
she has not met the Corpus con-
tingent as yet.

only opportunity OF the season TO

ton beat Corpus 1910 In an upset.
Harlingen, with two weeks rest un-
der her belt. Is OF an edge for the
Friday contest.
"A slam-bang battle Is IN prospect
ct Brownsville Friday night when
the Eagles tangle with Coach Bill
Bars Kingsville Brahmas. These
clubs appear TO be well matched
and both win be cunning for a vic
tory. Kingsville has played two
conference Tits to. date. beating
Edinburg and being nosed out by
Laredo. The Barrmen defeated
Brownsville last season, and the
Eagles are out for revenge. this
year.
With two weeks OF hard practice
behind them since they went down
before. Corpus Christi $50, the
Eagles are as hard S the proverb-
Sal boot and they are anxious 70
regain the favor OF the fans. Ex-
cept for fumbles, they were not
as bad as the $50 score at Corpus
might indicate. Three OF the four
Corpus touchdowns. came as the
result Of Brownsville fumbles. The
passing OF a relatively inexperi-
enced center contributed to these
fumbles. Raul Garcia, 165 pound
end who has been q mainstay in
the Eagle line. has been moved
over to center and Is making ar ex-
cellent showing. Coach Maurice
Pipkin believes he has solved his
problem at the pivot position.
The Brownsville line 90 q whole,
turned in q good Job against the
tough Corpus aggregation.
Hard drills. even extending into
the night, on fundamentals have
been staged by the Eagles since the
Buc contest. The improved block
ing Is expected to sharpen up
the Eagle offense.
Although the punting Of Louis
Fernandez has. been among the
best IN the district, Coach Pipkin
"a pleased with the development Of
several cter capable kickers on the
squad. Phil McNair. Billy Nc
Davitt and Louis HengFler all are
getting plenty Of distance with &C

BILLION SOUGHT
To BUYFARNS
FOR NEEDY

The Administration yesterday
threw support to drive to enact
bills providing for expenditure Of
a billion dollars to purchase more
than 100000 farms for rural des-
titute.
simultaneously it was learned
FERA hopes to spend part Of the
1880 million dollar recovery fund
to purchase farms for many farm
ers on relief, whether the con-
gressional measures pass or not,
and start them to independence
with $500 loans and subsequent
supervision by farming experts.
Though President Roosevelt
held a diplomatic silence enabling
him to turn thumbs down if the
congressional measures prove I'M
popular, Secretary Of Agriculture
Wallace and FERA Assistant Ad-
ministrator Lawrence Westbrook,
in charge Of rural relief, informed
the House Agriculture Committee
they supported the measures.
The bills, introduced in the
House by Chairman Jones of the
Agriculture Committee and in the
Senate by Bankhead Cd, of Ala
bama, provide for establishment
Of a Government corporation cap
italized at $50,O00,000 with au-
thority to sell billion dollars
worth of guaranteed bonds, the
proceeds of which would be lent
to tenant farmers and share crop
pers for purchase of their own
acreage. Repayment would be-
gin after three years and extend
over 80 TO so years.
The Senate bill, already ap-
proved by the Senate Agriculture
Committee, was described as re-
Ceiving serious consideration"
from the membership. Senator
Bankhead declared it would ben
eft 10 million "underdogs Of
agriculture"
