A Edinburg part-

the Harlingen high Cardinals in
the opener and then -eat out Mc-
Allen high 12-0 in their second
encounter. Prom all indications Big
Mac McCauley Is the whole show
In the Bronc pasture this season.
THE BRONCS and Javelinas are
hereditary enemies. Both institu-
tions had good football games be-
fore the Brownsville Junior pollege
team graduated from three corner-
ed trousers. The Javelinas h: * e
seen fit to enter conference foot-
ball and have given the Browns-
ville Scorpions the cold shoulder
this season. The Scorpions will
tfrounce the Broncs handily and
Irould likely take the measure of
the Javallnas if they could get
them on the grid this season.
Good Material
THE LOCAL college squad has
some of the best material ever to
represent a Valley institution. A
backfield of Newman. Cabler. Ad-
amson and Pipkin would be hard
to match anywhere in the annals
of Valley football. Pipkin was the
star o? the Scorpions ast yea- and
his accurate short passes nearly-
defeated Kingsville single handed
Adamson one of the sweetest backs
ever turned out at San Benito
ranked All-Valley with ease last
season Newman and Cabler acre
the star backs on the powerfull
Brownsville Screaming Eagles of
last year
DON’T THINK for once that the
Brownsville Screaming Eagles have
given up hopes this year because
of their defeat at the hands of the
Corpus Christi Bucs. There are
plenty of teams !n District Eight
& who will feel the fury of the Eagle
^ attack before the year Is over.

first All-Valley game was held at
Brownsville last year the Valley-
^ ites taking on the Cisco Loboes
^ The Loboes took the battle of
mwliplomacy in fair style. A debt was
^incurred in the first contest. How-
ever. the project was Just getting
under xyey and Brownsville was not
the logical place to hold the con-
test. Local fans were somewhat
disgusted with football at the time
due to their loss at Houston. It wa$
a little too much to ask up-Valley
fans to drive all the way here to
see the game. But thev did rally
out in great style and had the
game been held at a more central
location it would probably have
come out on top financially.

Stage Thrilling
Hurling Duel
With 7-col ban SERIES —
BY BRIAN BELL
Associated Press Sports Writer
EN ROUTE TO PHILADELPHIA
FROM ST LOUIS Oct. 7—<>P>—
The Athletics of Philadelphia and
Cardinals of St. Louis today were
well on their way back to Phila-
delphia to resume their Worlds
Series battle /tomorrow on the
American league grounds.
Both teams had reason to be
satisfied with their three day stay-
in National league territory. The 1
Cardinals won two games to get
them back m the series w-hile the ■
Athletics captured the final clash ;
in Missouri in a thrilling tattle of i
pitchers and started home a game
ahead and only one decision away
from another worlds champion-
ship.
The Cardinals left Philadelphia
last Thursday night two games
behind the Athletics and the; re-
turn only one in arrears but still
their task is the harder. In a golf
match the holes eventually run
out and this is all in favor of the
player ahead. The \thletics have
to win only one more to repeat
their 1929 triumph and win the
! supreme praise of Connie Mack a*
a "great team.” The Cardinals must
win two straight.
Gabby Gabs
Manager Mack today made no
forecast of the ultimate end of the
series except to say that he had
faith in his "boys.”
The "Gabby" general of the
Cardinals the weather beaten
1 Charles Street as always was op-
\ timlstic today.
"We can win two straight from j
the Athletics.” he said “and this
we will do. We have done it already
In this series and we can do it
again.”
The final game in St. Louis won i
2 to 0 by the Athletics in the ninth
inning when Jimmy Foxx drove r
home run high and far into the
left field bleacher seats among p '
group of disgusted customers was
a gripping struggle.
For seven innings the 37-year-old
Burleigh Grimes a courageous
cagey pitcher and George Earn-
shaw. younger bitter but no craft-
ier. battled on even scoreless terms
The day mas dark with a low ?
ceiling and rain fhreatening
throughout and all in all it was 1
a pitchers’ day if ever there was ?
world’s series stage set with scenery 1
made to order for the sharpshoot-
ers on the round. ‘
Fine Hurling
Burleigh threw his famous "spit- !
ters." mixing enough fast balls and 1
curves with them to prevent the *
A’s getting "set.” while Earnshaw
had a fast one. a curve and a half (
speed ball that baffled the opposi- 1
tion by throwing the batsmen off 1
their stride.
In the eighth inning Earnshaw 1
moved out of the picture to make ;
way for a pinch hitter. The honors
were even with his rival for each
had allowed two hits in seven !
chukkers. The pinch hitter got or
but in spite of the partial success 1
of the Mackian strategy. Grimes
pitched himself out of this hole.
Lefty Grove the speed Fill king
of the A's came in to succeed '
Earnshaw and as he held the
Cardinals runless during the eighth '
and ninth innings and as the pitcher
of record when Foxx hit for the ;
circuit he was credited with the '
victory. This was compensation for
a game he saved for Earnshaw in 1
the last world's series when the
big right-hander under the scoring !
rules was credited with the victory j

Baylor Proves She Must Be
Taken As Pennant Contender
By GAYLE TALBOT JR.
Associated Press Sports Writer
DALLAS. Oct. 7—(A*)—There had
been a tendency to ' low-rate” the i
Baylor Bears before their tussle
with Purdue SatQrday but Coach
Jennings' machine will have a hard
time sneaking up on any Southwest
conference foe now. The battle put
up by the Bruins was without doubt
an outstanding feature of the mid-
west invasion.
Southern Methodist did little more
than its followers anticipated in
holding Notre Dame to a single
touchdown margin but Purdue had
been rated a top-heavy favorite over
the Bears. The fact that the Bap-
tists fought the Boilermakers on al-
most even terms all the way and
lost only because their secondary
fplled to bat down a couple of passes
will not be overlooked by conference
rivals.
On the strength of their form to
date the leading contenders might
be ranked: 1. Southern Methodist.
2 Texas Christian. 3. Baylor. The
Bears thus are moved a notch
above the University of Texas Long-
horns. who yet have failed to show
anything like championship class
Baylor Steps Oat
Observers have said for two years
that Baylor's team would be a title
contender when and if it ever
found itself. Their form Saturday
would indicate they at least are get-
ting 'warm.'
The Aggies' defeat at Lincoln em-
phasized their one weakness—lack
of a capable offense. Coach Bell's
line functioned well as was to be
expected from such a veteran unit
holding the big Comhuskers score-
less until it became worn down in
the second half but the inexperi-
enced backfield could gain only now
and then through the air.
Like a baseball pitcher the stout
farmer line will have difficulty win-
ning unless its backfield supplies
some “runs.” Coach Bell has only
five working days in which to bol-
ster his team for Saturdays clash
with Tuiane here.
In mid-October of last season
the Uniersity of Texas eleven
looked like the most powerful thing
tu the Southwest. Dexter Shelley
was tearing opposing lines to bits
and the entire team in fact was go-
ing with all the verve of a four-
alarm fire.
Reaction
Then the reaction set in. The
Longhorns were tied successively
by S. M U. and Baylor and beaten
by the Homed Frogs. By the time
Bouts Postponed
(Special to The Herald.)
HARLINGEN Oct. 7—<P>— The
wrestling bouts scheduled to have
been held here last night ware
postponed to Thursday night be-
cause of a heavy rain.
Pat O’Brien will meet Charles
! Leahman in the main go as sche-
duled but August Hollenbecke has
been named to take Jack Pierce's
place against Stanley Rogers in the
' semi-windup.
they encountered the Aggies on
Thanksgiving day they appeared
only a shadow of their October
selves and what a licking they took
that day*
The point is. say friends of Coach
Clyde Littlefield that the entire
scheme is being reversed this year
The Longhorn mentor is bringing
his team along slowly especially
Shelley holding things down in
preparation for the conference rr :e
By the time the Orange eleven
meets Rice in its opener on Oct C’>
at Houston. Littlefield hopes to have
it going full speed.
That seems a plausible explana-
tion of the Steers’ indifferent show-
ing against Centenary Saturday
when they were held to a scoreless
tie in the mud
Polo Tilt Slated
The Harlingen civilian polo team
will play the Port Brown horsemen
here Sunday it has been announced.
The Harlingen squad took the
measure cf the officers at Harlin-
gen recently and is expecting to
make another strong showing here
