high school elevens viii swing into
the second week OF the current sea
son Friday afternoon and night IN
an early season furry which should
clear away some OF the smoke Of
high hopes and doleful doubts.
The docket includes one "A" con-
ference fray, four B" district tests
and three non-diStrict affairs.
The "A" race gets under way az
Edinburg Friday night with Coach
Bobby Cannon's Bobcats colliding
with Rocky Rundell's RObStown
Cotton Pickers. These teams we're
tempered by defeats last week and
should be in a fighting frame OF
mind when they square off under
the lights Friday. Showing promise
but still ragged, the Bobcats went
down TO before the Mission Eagles
last week while the PickerS were
kicked In 24-6 by the John Reagan
squad Of Houston. The Pickers
initiated the season with a lop-
sided win over the Refugio Tigers.
a "B" club.
The top B" game Of the week
will be on display at Mission FRI
day night when the Weslaco Pan

tangle with Coach Claude Dailey's
Eagles. Last year the Panthers
clawed up the Eagles BIB. but 1t
will be a closer ball game this sea.
son. The Aguilas have been popped
I'D BY their victory over Edinburg
and they are certain 70 cut loose
against the Weslaco contingent n
inaugurating their night plant. Last
Saturday the Painters hammered
through a scoreless tie with the
steers at Kingsville. The Steers are
rated as a contender In the South
/ Texas "A" district and this Tie
score bolstered the current belief
that the Panthers r coming back
strong IN an effort TO regain the
Valley championship they held two
years ago.
Another p" game Friday will
send Santa Rosa to Mercedes 70,
what might prove to be a real ball
game. The Santa Rosa boys. who
we're beaten by Mercedes $50 last
year, sprang a big surprise last
week when they hammered out q
tie with the Tri-City Bears. TIL,
flash OF strength, coupled with Mer-
cedes' 1915 defeat by Brownsville
seems to indicate a reasonabl'
close contest at Mercedes Friday.
The san Benito Greyhounds
ranked as a leading contender for
the "B" bunting. open their season
under the floodlights BY taking on
Rio Hondo. The Arroyoites held the
Hounds TO a TO score last year. but
the score win probably be larger
Friday night.
The fourth "B" game docketeo
Friday sends the la Joya Coyotes
TO Pharr for q game the Bears
should win without difficulty In
spite OF their poor showing In the
season opener.
One Of the best ball games Of
the week win be on display III
Brownsville Friday night-if wea-
Their permits-when the Eagles COL
Tide with the Donna high Redskins
defending Valley "B" and bids
trict champions. The Indians were
heads and shoulders above every
thing else In the Valley last season
and Coach George Vest. easily one
OF the best coaches In South Tex
as. has good material this year. TIE
Donna-Eagle game will be one OF
the best to be seen IN Brownsville
this season. The Eagles are a much
improved outfit from last year, but
win be short-enders when they step
into the Redskins.
Dutch Flory's Harlingen high
Cardinals, who opened 10 with a
two-touchdown victory over Ia
Feria. will get a tough test when
they meet the McAllen high Bull
dogs on Card field. Little lnforma-
ton has been forthcoming from
the Bulldog camp. but it Is q GER
tainty that the CANNES viii be a
good match for the Cardinals.
The other game Friday night viii

ton TO Raymondville. This should
be an easy victory for the Bearl- \
