they were leaving the stands at
Tucker Field last week. That was
not the case, for fuses ON the light
plant blew and when they were
replaced the biz transformer which
went on the blink.
The lights win be kept on after
the games until the fans have got
ten out Of the park.
WHEN THE weather permits tn
Brownsville Eagles and Donna Red
skins to get together scheduled
here Friday night, you will see a
pair OF the Valleys best sprinters
pitted against n another.
One Is Martin Stuart. the Red
skin flash who won the schoolboy
state championship In the 40 last
year. and the other Is Billy Nc
Davitt. Brownsville scrapper who Is
developing rapidly In his second
year OF competition in ~inte-scholas-
tic circles.
In addition to winning the cent
ury. 220 and 40 championships Of
the Valley last year. Stuart was
tust about the best blocker during
the football season.
McDavitt, in his first year OF
track, gave stuart a good run IN
the sprints, and this year he viii
have a fair chance OF beating him
I'm the century. IN addition 70
straieht-away speed. Billy has a
fast getaway.
ALBERT PEREZ. frail appearing
Brownsville end, Is a youngster who
gives all he has when he Is In q
ball game. Somewhat handicapped
by being underweight and by hay
ing impaired vision, Perez Is orr
OF the best boy on the Eagle
squad when II comes TO huStling
and playing heads-up ball. He has
been a regular for the past two
seasons largely because OF his team
loyalty and the fact that he never
lets down.
Raul Garcia Is another player OF
this type but he Is better fortified
physically than Is Perez.
The tougher the opposition. the
harder these boys 60.
And while we're at 10. don't forget
Louis Henggler-he's another one
OF those battlers who take some Of
the pain out OF q coach's problems

tahlished q fine tradition for athletic
competition under the coaching re-
gtmes Of Claude Daley. nov at Mis-
sion, and George Vest, both OF whom
learned their athletics on the hill
sides around San Marcos Teachers
college. These coaches have made
the Redskins hard competitors who
play cleanly for all a game Is worth.
Coach Vest carried q fine eleven TO
q Valley B" and bi-district cham
pionship last season. and with all
due respects to the "A" clubs-it
was the best team IN South Texas.
The Indians. Vest said, will be
somewhat handicapped by sickness
and injuries when they come here
for the tilt against the Eagles. The
ailing list includes Pete finch. Bar
ron Holloway. Stanley Reed and
Willie Reyes. Reyes. a veteran
tackle. is out indefinitely with ty-
phoid Fever.
A TEAM usually has 3 beefy line
and light backfield. but the Donna
ties reverse this with a light line and
heavyweights In the backfield.
The Redskin backs are Martin
