Their confidence bolstered by last
Sundays decisive victory over the
LaGrange Demons, members of the j
Cuero Trotters' baseball team to-

in the .Municipal Park with the loop
leading Gonzales Indians.
Sunday's game is sclteduled to be- j

The- addition of s:\eral new play-

Central Tex. League. Gonzales alone
remains unde feat :d. The Indians

Cuero team, the Ulman brothers, also
will appear in the Gonzales game.

As Coach Eddie Shinn continues
to put his football bovs through the
paces this month on the Cuero
high school gridiron field, this
writer glances over football results
of games played by the Gobblers
during the past few years.
Many football-followers of Cuero
may- feel, and justly so, that a num-
ber of the years might well be for-
gotten. But it also is true that
the Gobblers on occasions have
shown themselves as football experts
—champions.
Of the 1939 results in the East
Zone of District 38-A a mere men-
tion will suffice. Teams which de-
feated Cuero were Yoakum, Gon-
zales, Kenedy, Karaes City, Bdna.
Beeville, Smiley, Yorktown and Vic-
toria.
Cuero’s total number of points
for the season was 18.
But—let's turn the pages of time
back to 1938. During that season,
well remembered by everyone, the
Gobblers finished the season with
nine victories, one loss and on£ tie.
That was the year when Cuero
went to the district, bi-district and
regional meets. During the regu-
lar season only one squad, the
Junction eleven, defeated Cuero.
Then there was the year 1937
when the Gobblers achieved five vic-
tories. two defeats and one tie.
Teams which fell before the expert
football prowess of Cuero were San
Marcos. Karnes City, Hallettsville.
Kenedy and Beeville.
Going back 12 years ago, we find
that in 1928 the Gobblers were vic-
torious in seven of eight games
played. The only game which Cue-
ro lost—the lafct of the season—was
the contest with Del Rio.
_ Returning to the present after a
peep into the past, we can only won-
der and hope regarding the 1940
season. Three players on whom
Coach Shinn had planned to form
the nucleus of his team last week
were ruled-ineligible.
That mishap leaves, for the most
part, a number of inexperienced
football aspirants. Graduation is
taking some away. Not altogether
a very promising picture, but one
cannot tell.

night while he laughed at his own

2D YEAR5DF MARCHING AHEAD!
In 1916, the first Piggly Wiggly at Memphis, Tennessee, gave the world Self-Service,
Cash and Carry, and National Brands. Piggly Wiggly made manufacturers con-
scious of “sanitary” packaging, and great strides forward have been made every-
where since! Piggly Wiggly gave the world true Scientific Merchandising in the
grocery field. In the year 1940, almost every grocery chain and independent mer-
chant is trying to copy Piggly Wiggly. But, of course, as always, your home-
owned, independent Piggly WTiggly leads the field—and always will,continue to
do so! That’s why Piggly Wiggly celebrates this wonderful Parade of Progress.
