SWEDISH FISHERS
GET PRIZES FOR
BIG FISH CATCHES
GOTHENBURG Sweden Oct. 28.]
—Sweden is making a determined ef-
fort to stimulate the deep sea fish-
ing industry of the West Coast and
at the same time to increase the na-
tional consumption of fish through-
out Ce country. The state and lo-
cal authorities are helping and en-
couraging fisherman in the purchas-
ing of new boats and fishing tackle
and they are constructing up-to-date
fishing ports. The government fish-
eries board is extending its research
work on the l.abits of the fish and
the whereabouts of the largest
schools. A campaign to stimulate the
public demand for fish as a more
important part of the daily fare has
been inaugurated and certain news-
papers are calling attention to the
exploitation of fishermen by the mid-
dlemen. The latter are taking large
profits the majority of which should
go into the pockets of the ffeher-
men or Le shared by the public In
lower prices.
An interesting feature of this
drive is the revival by the govern-
ment of a custom nearly one hun-
dred years old of granting prizes to
the mackerel fishermen of the West
Coast for the best mackerel caught
sorted and packed for export.
Swedish fishermen take pride in
their profession and they have long
been grumbling over the fact that
their mackerel has been sold and
shtped to Americu through middle-
men in other countries 'lhey have
received reports that mackerel of in-
ferior grades has been mixed in with
these shipments.
In order to eliminate this cause of
complaint and to assure better
quality and direct shipment with the
virtual elimination of ^middlemen's
profits a co-operative association has
been formed and backed by the Gov-
ernor of the Gbthenburg Province
Oscar von Sydow; i*. • Swedish Con-
sul-General in New York Olof H.
Lamm and others 'lhe system of
government irupeetiod has been per-
fected inspectors being detailed to
the several poets where mackerel is
packed for the American market.

SAN BENITO-MERCEDES
FOOTBAALL CAME FRIDAY
WAS A VALLEY CLASSIC
San Benito 3 Mercedes 0.
San Benito high school was there iu
the pinch the Mercedes high school fell
down in the pinch—for in these few
words may be given as the story of the
football game Friday at Mercedes be-
tween that team and the San Benito h gh
school.
The football classic of the Valley. aid
south Texas for that mutter between
two high school teams was that played
at Mercedes Friday between the San
Benito high school and the Mercedes
high school twins. San Benito won by
a score of 3 to U when Mnarterbaek
Hartman on- the 2b-yard line kicked
goal. /
To those fans who love clean sport
to (hose who stand for and tolerate
nothing bpt clean sports columns could
be writtefi on this game but suffice it j
to say that it was witnessed by the
largest And most enthusiastie crowd of
fans ever gathered in the Valley and
the spirit of the fans of San Benito
and Mfeicedes before during and after
the i^anie was that exemplifying true
American character—real American spir-
it and we like to think of it as such.
The whole of San Benito turned out
for the game stores closed and *twas
even said that George Winsor’s “Spider
Web" railroad stopped running for the
day -and Sid Murray's band was there
and lent much merriment to the occa
aion. Before the game started. Sa i
Benito fans were assigned one side of
the field the Mercedesites occupying
th opposite snake dances were had be-
fore the game and in between halves
and as each team would bellow forth
its favorite yells the other side would
come right back with theirs. The con-
geniality—clean-cut manner of sports- I
manship which the Mercedes people and I
sehool officials .showed the San Benito
school children officials and fans is
on the bps of every San Bemtan who
attended the game.
The game of football America’s great
school sport was given a tremendous
boost in the Valley by the conduct and
clean playing of the two team* and
the toleration of nothing but clean-cut
business from beginning to end by the
fans of both towns. 1
Smith of Weslaco refereed and Carl
Weller of Brownsville umpired and the
handling of the game by these officials
gave perfect satisfaction.
The game started at 3:30. and fifteen
minute quartern were played.
San Benito kicked to Mercedes and
like the winkling of an eye the fast
Mercedes (earn was on its way to the
San Benito goal for they had executed
a beautiful forward pats fur 25 yard
gain. They then rushed the hall to
within 2 feet of the line and with three
downs to go Sun Benito showed its su-
periority over Mercedes in the pinch
when they were held for downs. San
Benito kicked to safety and after Mer-
cedes had hit the line a few limes a
fumble was hail and San Benito re-
covered and by a line buck gained a
few yards and then a forward pass
ftarby to Munran resulted in getting the
ball within 12 yards of the goal. The
first quarter ended with San tlenilo in
12 yards of the goal.
Willi the resumption of play San Ben-
ito tried for a field goal but faded and
the ball went to the 2o-yard line. The
two teams then vied with each other in
hne bucking a few attempted foiward
passes and kick? to uf«:y. The first half
ended with th.e two teams in the center
of the field. Some dogged determina-
tion and good old fahioned football
■vs? d.Splayed in the lirst half.
in the second half Mercedes missed
her only opportunity to score after the
beginning of the first quarter when
they bucked the line and rushed the ball
within 26 yuids of goal but uti.?.sed a
drop kick.
With the bull in San Benito’s posses
sion a steady march was made dos.i the
field and downs were made and the ball
wa? within 25 yards of Mercedes’ goal
and Hartman. Sun Benito quarterback
Mon the game with a perfect kick of
goal. From then on the teams played
practically in the center of the f eld un-
! til the game ended.
| True to traditions that a champion-
ship or near championship game never
brings out any spectacular or new plays
old-fashioned football prevailed such as
line buekmg end running forward pass-
ing and kicks to .-rnfely constituted the
sum total of the inside playing of the
teams.
The Mercedes field situated on the
north aide of the school house is an
Ideal football field just soft enough to
allow a runner to get a toe hold. The
day was rather warm for football_
but the interest soon dispelled this
condition.
The game was cleanly played only-
one penalty was administered that to
San Benito for clT-sides.
f’oacb Saunders of San Benito and
tioach Schmalxried of Mercedes were
highly complimented as well as the
players of both teams for the wonderful
football displayed.
“DEACON"8TIL
The waterboy for Weslaco's football
tram expressed the attitude of spurt
fans in geneial toward the losing side.
The lad threw down the bucket of water
in disgust and exclaimed “they don't
nerd any water; Ihev're not Wurth it.“
• • •
This vo ces the attitude of fans in
general toward the losing side. It takes
the right kind of stuff in a fellow to
make him keep on hue-king teams that
he knows are going to defeat him. Wes-
leca has not won a game this year fur-
ther lias nut scored a point this year and
priil>aliJy do not e»peot to win any game.
Stifl the game little football players on
the squad kept on fighting in every
game until the whistle blew and then
they gave a cheer for the team which
defeated them.
• • •
It is this kind of playing that makes a
real athlete. When u fellow gets to the
point that he cu t take a defeat and still
come hack and scrap the next game he
Biggs played in the Weslaco game
working at end and at tackle during the
Jatt< r half of the game.
• • •
The climax to Valley football will
come off next Friday when the red
Jcrsies of San Benito invade home tetri-
tones and tackle the Brownsville foot-
ball eleven. It will be a bitter fight
throughout with both teams taking ad-
vantage of all breaks to get a shot at
Corpus Christi.
• • •
San Benito has a line that will be hard
to buck. Mercedes made a number of
downs through the Sao Benito line but
they never came together. Whenever
San Benitos* goal was threatened the
line would tighten and Mercedes would
fail to gain.
* • •
San Benito hackfield men also dis-
played ability at going through Merced-
es’ line. Darby made a number of
plunges through the line still the well
BROWNSVILLE HIGH
AND ALL STARS WILL
PLAY (^WEDNESDAY
Brownsville high school and the city
eleven will meet in their first schedule
encounter Wednesday afternoon at the
high school according to a statement
made by Captain Barnes of the Browns-
ville all-stars.
The city team is practicing regularly
now under the manager of Skelton and
will put up a good aggregation of scrap-
per*. The line is heavy with experienc-
ed men on it. while such players as
Barnes. Champion. Higgins and others
will grace the ha<kfield.
SAN BENITO WINS
FROM FORT BROWN
San Benito took the second straight
value from Fort Brown yesterday at tho
Sa*i Benito field the final s?o»e being
id to 0 in lavor of the Sain.s' eleven
of that city.
P »rt Brown was completely outplayed
from beginning to end of the game be
ing unable to go through Sao Benito’s
line and unable to stop tke hackfield
men of the San Benito team. Sanders
coach of the high school eleven was the
star hackfield man.
WCll 101 TOR.
1 coached well conditioned Mercedes line
allowed no touchdowns to he made. The
teams were almost evenly matched in
every dej* rtmenl of I he* game which was
tried on the field.
• • •
has the making* of an athlete. Too
many atro -g teams are “shot to pieces"
because they are finally defeated and
do not know how to take it.
• • •
A comparison of San Benito a id
Brownsville gives the former an ad-
vantage of weight both in the lute and
hurkfield. Whether Brownsville is f.ist-
er or can use belter football will be
i decided here Friday. The game at Mer-
cedes resembled a college encounter in
almost very phase. San Benito kicked
a field goal. Mercedes missed. San
Benito won. Otherwise the teams were
almost even. Harby excelled in punting
and passing.

When foot hall officials made the new
rules they probably did not take into
consideration the possibility of m touch
down being made by the team which is
scored on. while the other team is try-
ng for the extra point. In the game
between Kurt Ringold and Fort Brown
' here. Right Rnd Williams intercepted a
pass when Ringgold was trying for the
extra point and ran the entire length
of the field—all for nothing.

B g ‘Mo" Porter star catcher for the
Brownsville Tigers during the past sea-
son tried his hard at a new sport yes-
terday when he played guard on the
Fort Brown team. Porter got his foot-
ball mixed with baseball hut xtisight-
ened it out before the game was over
and played a good game.

Jim Digir.an also played for Fort
Itrhwn working in the fullback position.
IHgman made gains occasionally hut
complained that he was tackled before he
received the hall from center on ac-
count of his line not holding.

of others above his own almost made
everyone unhappy. Pretty Claire And-
erson she of the brown eye* and * lond
iocka plays Maxine KILott's role. Jim
icy Morrison is the youth—the "Imp”
and Christine Mayo is the cause of all
the trouble. Henry King who directed
"Dice of Destiny" Mr. Warner's pre-
