Score of Tilt
(Special to the Herald)
EDINBURG Oct. 26.—After fight-
ing off the powerful Edinburg Ju-
nior college Broncs in the first
half on sheer determination the
Brownsville Junior college Scor-
pions were forced to bow to supe-
rior strength 27-6 here Friday af-
ternoon on a muddy field.
Clicking in the best style of the
reason against their strongest/ op-
ponent the Scorpions rated by far
the underdogs threw7 a scare into
Edinbug fans by their strong de-
fense and offense in the first half.
It was clearly a case of fight and
determination carrying a lesser
eleven over stronger opponents.
Overconfidence
The Brownsville men kept the
ball in Edinburg territory almost
the entire first half. The Edin-
burg gridsters appeared unable to
get going as though the;y were suf-
fering from overconfidence.
The Scorpions scored early in the
second quarter after Fritz Ball had
intercepted an Edinburg pass on
the Edinburg 30 yard line. He
reached the eight-yard stripe be-
fore being downed. Here the
Broncs got a tough break. They
were offside and drew a penalty.
Morris Pipkin Brownsville’s in-
dividual star lunged across the
goal line for the Scorpion’s only
goal.
McCauley’s spectacular 80-yard
dash kept Edinburg from being
blanked in the first half. He inter-
cepted a pass on his ow7n 20 yard
line and breezed off up the field
for a touchdown. He kicked the
extra point also.
The Edinburgers wTere carried off
their feet by an unexpected fight-
ing rush from the underdogs. How-
ever in the second half they came
back strong running the score up
to 27-6. McCauley’s long runs fea-
tured the Bronc comeback. They
scored their second touchdown af-
ter a steady march down the field.
McCauley cut-back 12 yards for the
tally.
He added third touchdown in the
third quarter soon afterward in
much the same manner. He cut
back 25 yards for this one. The
last one in the fourth quarter was
good for 30 yards.
Pipkin was by far the outstand-
ing man on the field for the
Scorps. His generalship plunging
and passing meant much in the
Brownsville eleven's staunch fight-
ing stand in the first half.

The upsets of the current Valley
football week were the La Feria-
Mission tie and the manner in
which Edinburg and Mercedes
climbed out of the cellar.
The two outstanding teams Har-
lingen and McAllen bumped off
their opponents the San Benito
Greyhounds and Weslaco Panthers
respectively as per the dope buck-
et. But not until after the under-
dogs had sprung surprises. McAllen
had to come back strong in the
last few minutes of play for two
ttouchdowns to defeat Weslaco 12-
0. The Greyhounds surprised the
Cardinals with two touchdowns in
the first few minutes of play.
Thereafter however the Cards
completely squelched the Grey- j
hound attack while they them-
selves ran up 33 points.
La Feria was generally held to
be a stronger club than Bobby Can-
non’s Mission Eagles but the un-
derdogs fought the La Feria ag-
gregation on even terms better than
three quarters. These two unde-
feated clubs’ 0-0 tie threw abso-
lutely no light on the Valley chase.
In the other contest Friday
Coach Kitchen’s Mercedes Tigers
took a 19-0 sock at the punch
drunk Ravmondville aggregation to
climb out of the cellar themselves.
Thursday Edinburg high nosed
out the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo
Bears 7-6 slightly tipping the dope
container.
Harlingen Wins
(Special to The Herald)
HARLINGEN Oct. 26.—Tlie San
Benito Greyhounds threw a scare
into the Harlingen high Cards here
Friday by scoring twice in the op-
ening minutes of play but the Car-
dinals came back strong and rolled
up a score of 33-12 against tne vis-
itors. .
After the first two touchdowns
which came as the result of a block-
ed punt and a recovered tanble
the San Benito offense failed to
percolate being completely smother-
ed by the Cards. . . .
Welsh recovered the blocked punt
for the first tally. The fumble was
scooped up on the 20 yard line by
a ’Hound several moments later.
Cissell scored the Cards’ first
marker in the second quarter after
the oval had been ironed down the
field on straight football. Murray
recovered a blocked ’Hound punt in
the same quarter for the second tal-
ly*
The third came in the third quar-
ter Lawrence galloping 15 yards
across the goal line. In the last
period Scheupbach and West scor-
ed on straight football. West’s went
over just before the final gun was
fired.
Lawrence and Scheupbach were
the stars for Harlingen while Hew-
lett stood out in the San Benito
line.
Leaders Tie
(Special to The Herald)
LA FERIA Oct 26—Mission and
La Feria both undefeated in the
Valley chase wallowed to a 0-0 tie
on a muddy field here Friday after-
noon. Mision rated to lose came
out strong and held the offensive
whip in the first three quarters.
La Feria came back in the fourth
quarter and outplayed the visitors
but could not muster enough punch
to iron a touchdown across.
Cotter back was the outstand-
ing Eagle on the field. Sldson star-
red for La Feria.
Bulldogs Cop
(Special to The Herald)
McALLEN Oct. 26.—A wild spree
that placed the ball on the Weslaco
7-yard line twice within two min-
utes of the final quarter McAllen
high marched to her third straight
victory of the season defeating the
Weslaco high school Panthers 12
to 0 here. As the game ended the
’Dogs had again pushed the pig-
hide to the 15-yard stripe. The
scoring took place four minutes be-
fore the game ended.
Battling on even terms for the
first three quarters neither team
could penetrate the other’s 30-yard
line. The fourth stanza had almost
been competed when Captain Gene
Cox Bulldog tackle shot back in
a criss-cross play and carried the
ball for SO yards in a brisk rim
around left end. finally running out
of bounds. Walsh and Garza aid-
ed by Allen advanced the ball to
the 7-yard line. The ball went over i
and Witt punted to safety. March-1
ing down the field again the Bull-
dogs placed the pighide on the 7-
yard stripe for the second time

and Witt puntd to ethe 30-yard line
The Buldogs passed and plunged
their way to the four-yard marker
Walsh ripping through left guarc
for the score. Both attempts te
gain the extra point failed.
The field was in bad condition foi
the game due to an all-day rain.
“Cow'boy” Ogan did not have hi;
full strength for the tussle. Neithei
Captain Fox or Frisby eft halfback
started the tilt but Cox was sent ir
before the first half was over. The
Weslaco defense built mainly foi
a pass breaker had little time foi
service as the field prevented ar
aerial attack. Weslaco punted con-
sistently. The Bulldogs pushec
across for 15 first downs while the
Weslaco boys registered four.
Witt was the entire Weslaco team

Associated Press Sports Writer.
1 DALLAS. Oct. 26—</F)—Whether
the powerful Baylor Texas and T.
C. U. eleven.' now regarded as
outstanding contenders .or the
Southwestern Conference title
must make room for another mem-
ber. S. M. U. will be decided when
the’ Mustangs tackle Mississippi
university in the last of the inter-
sectional contests here today.
The game is one of five in which
conference teams participate. Ark-
ansas meets the Aggies at CoITege
Station Texas plays Rice at Aus-
tin Baylor invades Shreveport for
a tussle with Centenary and T. C.
U. is at Lubbock out in the plains
country for a bout with Texas
: Tech. The last two are non-con-
ference affairs.
Pony Offense
Southern I iethodlst after trav-
elling under wraps for more than
a month is expected to cast off
all restraint against “Ole Miss-’ and
disclose its challenge for the con-
ference championship. Many ob-
servers believe the Mustangs will
show a whirlwind offense calculat-
ed to move them into the front
rank of conference contenders.
“Ole Miss” gave warning it will
not be a set-up by defeating a
strong Loyola eleven 26 to 24 last
week. The team is coached by
Homer Hazel former all-American
backfield star.
In the championship race proper
the Razorback-Aggie clash on Kyle
field tops the day’s program in im-
portance. Arkansas defeated in its
first two conference starts defin-
itely is out of the picture but the
Aggies have a fighting change to
tie for the crown if they win all
their remaining games. A loss to
the Porkers would mean curtains
for Matty Beil’s pupils.
Owls Scrappers
Texas University is favored to
chalk up its second conference
victory at the expense of Rice. The
Owls always play their heads off
against the Longhorns but their
I record so far would indicate they
are over-matched this week. The
game marks Rice’s first conference
appearance.
The Centenary Gentlemen have
fared poorly against southwest
conference outfits so far losing by
wide margins both to Texas and
T. C. U. They will be out for a
comeback against Baylor but it is
doubtful they will get more than
the satisfaction of having tried.
k The Bears appear equally as pow-
erful as either the Longhorns and
! Progs.
T. C. U. has not taken Its meet-
ing with the Tech. Matadors too
lightly. It will be homecoming day
at Tech and the team is primed
to give the Frogs a battle. In Ran-
some Walker the Matadors have
one of the state's shiftiest runners.
He has scored two touchdowns on
i the Frogs in the last three years
each time after 80-yard :uns.

Central Press Staff Writer
When Ishbel MacDonald was
only eight years old her mother
died abruptly ending a most idyl-
lic marriage.
Younger than Ishbel were Shelia
and Joan. A little older was Mal-
colm. Allister was the eldest of the
five. But Ishbel was the lodest
daughter and the mantel of her
mother's responsibility fell to her.
Devoted to Cause
Ishbel’s mother was as ardently
devoted to the cause of a better
social order as was her father.
But this common interest was ra-
ther the embroidery than the stuff
of the romance that ended so
tragically leaving only a pervad-
ing and beautiful memory.
Perhaps it was the spirit of this
early happiness which MacDonald
was determined to sustain when
evenings he read aloud to his
band of motherless children and
told them stories in his inimitable
way of his travels.
Serious responsible little Ishbel
became the mother of the group.
And MacDonald made a compan-
ion of her from her earliest youth.
Together they went to ohe bare
little church in Lossiemouth which
MacDonald still attends wearing
the proper “bowler” hat when-
ever he is in the Scotch fishing
village. It is a stern. Presbyterian
church offering as he often says
“no red carpeted way to heaven”.
But that is after the MacDonald
tastes. Not that there was no joy in
the family. There was. But it was
a Scotch kind of joy—more twink-
ling than hilarious.
Close to Father
And so the companloship and un-
derstanding between Ishbel and
her father grew\
Allister became an architect
married and had two children wrho
are the proverbial delight of their
grandfather's life. Malcolm went
to Oxford was sent around the
world on the debating team of the
university and finally became a
member of parlic -lent. Ishbel stu-
died domestic science in King’s
College for Women until she be-
came hostess for her father in "the
big house” at 10 Downing street.
Sheila is in the University of Lon-
don Joan in Edinborcugh univer-
sity.
The MacDonald family is grown.
Each member is upholding the tra-
dition of that common passion of
their parents in helping to make
a better world. And in her quiet
serious wray Ishbel is sharing her
father’s mission in America in one
of the knottiest diplomatic situa-
tions of the hour.

‘Grudge” to Be Aired On
San Benito Track It
Is Said
Sunday afternoon’s racing pro-
gram on the "an Benito track
>pen to all modified stock auto-
nobiles is going to be witnessed
>y a record breaking crowd if ad-
vance interest is any criterion by
which one may Judge. <
One of the most unusual attrac-
ions ever seen will be offered in
iddition to the regular races in
he form of a grudge race between
ady drivers ''dth Lois Lamar
woman speed ace tangling with
Peggy Devees French woman
champion in a special 5 mile 10 lap
jvent promoter* state. These two
irivcrs have met before on race
jacks and on the last meeting a
■rash resulted with each pilot
claming the other. The argument
will be settled with a $250 purse
ming to the winner. No rules of
■rack conduct will govern the race
ind many thrills are bound to re-
mit. Miss Lamar recently won a
jO lap event <n the Hutchinson
Kansas State Fair grounds track
where she masqueraded as a man
since women were barred from the
competition. Her identity was not
revealed until an enterprising
photographer recognized her as
she posed for pictures after win-
ding. Both the lady aces are rec-
ognized as being the most cap-
ible of their kind and are the
;ype that does not know the mean-
ing of using brakes or taking their
root off the gas.
Among the local entries to com-
pete will be Art Hickman of Har-
lingen in a Ford and Bill Poyser in
an Auburn whose real home Is
Mission Hic-man holds the re-
cord for the road run from Hous-
ton to San Antonio having made
the trip in 3 hours and 42 min-
utes. His car is in perfect condi-
tion and it will not be at all sur-
prising to see Hickman walk In
with the victry. Poyser and his
Auburn who have been campaign-
ing on tracks throughout the
country with Houston as head-
quarters will 1 trying extra hard
to win for it will be the first op-
portunity of his mother and father
who reside in Mission to see their
“pride and joy” in competition.
Poyser has won more races on

er having won in Houston on the

Lyford Wins Over
El Jardin 6 to 0
After playing a heavy Lyford ag-
gregation to a standstill for three
juarters leading them 2-0 until that
time the light El Jardin Comets
lost a heart breaker Friday after-
noon in a muddy field by a score
bf 6-2 cm the Comets' home field.
El Jardin kicked off and after an
sxchange of punts carried the hog-
tiide to the visitors’ two yard line
bnly to lose it on downs.
On the next play Trlpplet threw
a Lyford back behind his goal for a
safety. From then on the ball see-
sawed back and forth until the
final period. Lyford ironed a touch-
down over on straight football then
for the winning points.
Lofton starred for Lyford on the
offense while Hocott and Baldridge
did the major portion of the ball
carrying duties.
For El Jardin Glendening got
off some good end runs while C.
Vicars spun off tackle nicely. H.
Vicars Underwood Adams and O.

fensive work.
Next Friday the Comets meet
