Barring up-sets there will be
little fireworks in the Valley "B"
race this week tor as a general
rule the acknowledged leaders are
pitted against clubs in the lower
bracket of the standings. The one
notable exception will send George
Vast's scrappy Donna Redskins in-
to the 8an Benito Hound kennels
iftlis game is far from in the bag
| as the Indians have an annoying
Ub^ of knocking off favorites.
Yjack Freshours Rio Hondo Ar-
Ibyoites the only untied unbeaten
club In "B” circles should bloat
their average by defeating Edinburg
At the Hidalgo county seat Friday.
The Bobcats chief ejaim to fame
was the startling 14-12 up-set they
•prang at the expense of the Mc-
Allen Bulldogs.
Tiger* Going Placet
Weslaco undefeated but tied
runner-up. engages Harlingen In a
non-conference affair on Panther
field Thursday. The contest should
furnish further reason why the
' B” teams should be operating un-
der an “A’’ label. The “B” teams
have been making hey-hey at the !
expense of Brownsville and Har-
lingen this season.
The defending champions the
Mercedes Tigers who are now in
third place should have little trou-
ble in beating the Tri-Citv Bears
Friday. After a faltering start the
Tigers have come to life and are
headed places. A 7-0 defeat at the
hands of San Benito on a sea of
mud and score less ties with Mc-
Allen and Weslaco are the reasons
why Mercedes is not back at the
top The Tigers have been scored
upon only twice this season while
they have been manufacturing a
total of 85 points.
Hounds n Indians
As stated above the fourth -
placed San Benitans are in for a
tough session with the Donna Rea-
| akins. The Hounds regained a lot
of their self respect last week by
■oundlv walloping .ue Harlingen
Cardinals 30-0 following their 6-6
tie with La Fena.
The faltermg La Feria Lions
should not be hard pressed to down
the Mission Eagles. The other 'B"
tame sends McAllen to Santa Rosa
on an average bloating expedition.
St. Joe's. Brownsville's undefeated
club takes on the Rio Grande
City Rattlers at Brownsville Friday
xftemoon. The other ''wildcat'’
game of the week will send Cactus
University to La Feria for a con-
test with alumni eleven Saturday.

ALL-AMERICAN
SELECTIONS UP
Scribes Having Tough Time
In Picking Start
This Seaton
•
NEW YORK Nov. 16. l#>—It's
nearly 10 years since the most fam-
ous exponent of the All-America
died Walter Camp but there ap-
pears no less enthusiasm than ever
In the rush now under way to paste
the all-star football labels tot 1633
on the standout players from coast
to coast.
It’s an old American custom the
kind of an argument in which one
and all can participate wheatever
the complexities may be In attempt-
ing to name 11 men as the superiors
to all the rest In a game played so
widely and so well in all comers
of the gridiron map. Its existence Is
sustained by custom and encourafe-
ed by popular demand.
The returns so far in the ninth
annual Associated Press All-Amer-
ica consensus indicate observers
have had more than usual difficulty
making their choices and making
them stick. The competition seems
to be so close and hard fought this
year that there is little or no assur-
ance that a star player will look
like an All-American two weeks in
a row. The ball carrier who runs
wild behind expert blockers or*e
w*eek and dashes mostly into the
srms of opposing tacklers the next
is giving the experts many a head-
ache.
Hot Then Cold
Take a few examples: Cy Orant.
the Oeorgla backfield star came
north heralded by experts as the
Souths leading All-America candi-
date yet it was his running mate
Homer Key who starred in the'Yale
Bowl. Mike Sebastian Pittsburgh
back has been “hot and cold" this
season. A coast critic suggested Bill
Corbus. Stanford guard was below
form this year but a few davs later
Corbus was almost the whole shoe
In beating Southern California. As
a sophomore Ed Krause looked like
a greater tackle at times than his
I All-America running mate joe
Kurth. at Notre Dame but Krause
has been obscured this year in his
team’s debacle.
The reports nevertheless show a
few standouts for consistency as
well as exceptional ability. They in-
clude Charles Bernard. Michigan
center; Jack Buckler triple-threat
Armv halfback; Fred Crawford.
Duke tackle; and George Henry
Sauer Nebraska fullback Any All-
America consensus compiled at this
stage would certainly Include all
four of these players but most ob-
servers want to study the final re-
turns. especially the results of games
this Saturday and next before they
go "out on the limb" to stay with
their selections.
The list of All-America candidates
to date is by no means complete
but the following players have been
most prominently mentioned iff As-
sociated Press returns:

Hound-Rio Hondo
Contest Looms
(Special to The Herald)
SAN BENITO. Nov. 16.-Did San
Benito and Rio Hondo ever meet
• matched game of football?
Nobody seems to know definitely
a.’Rio Hondo had a team
rears before Jack Preshour began
his coaching regime at the arroyo
city.
Piles of The San Benito Light
once announced that the teams
acre going to play but following
issues failed to give an account of
the game or to say whether it had
been called off.
E M. Aiken former San Benito
coach said that the Hounds used
tr. scrimmage with Rio Hondo when
"Cowbkoy" Ogan. later of McAl-
len. coached there but that no
matched games were played to his
knowledge.
Rio Hondo and San Benito do not
seem to be able to get together for
a game. San Benito not caring to
contract for one early in the sea-
son and Rio Hondo being diffident
now. It is possible that they may
get together if they both are eli-
minated from the Valley cham-
pionship race.
Pood had become so scarce that
migratory water fowl passed bv
Wisconsin without stopping; the
state planted many pounds of wild
rice In its lowlands thi« year to
attract the birds.

— ■
McALLEN. Nov. 16 —Eight Low-
er Rio Grande Valley Junior high
school football squads are engaged
in a championship race fully as
Uirilling and interesting though not
quite so important as that now be-
ing staged by the Class B high
schools in the same section.
After five weeks of playing the
Mercedes Junior High School Tiger
Kittens are leading the Junior dis-
trict field with five wins and one
loss for an average of .833 to date.
The San Benito Greyhound Pups
are in second place with an average
of .830. only one-half game lost be-
ing marked up against them as the
result of one tie game but with
only three games played. The Mc-
Allen Junior High School Bullpups
Valley Junior champs from 1938 to
1932 and state Junior champions in
1930. are in third place with three
wins and one loss for an average of
•750. The Bull pups would be unde-
feated except for the award cf their
win over the Mercedes Tiger Kit-
tens by the district committee after
it was discovered that one of their
players had started for the McAl-
len High School Bulldogs in an
early game and played only a few
minutes. The Pups have not been
scored on. and have won four games
by blanking their opponents.
Valley System
Junior high school football was
first played in Texas by a group of
Lower Rio Grande Valley schools
which organized themselves into a
Junior high district in 1928 The
plan for conducting the race has
been modeled after the Class B
Interscholastic League high school
set-up with changes necessary for
Junior high schools. The Valley
plan has been used in many aections
of Texas for organization of local
junior high school football dis-
tricts.
Since the beginning of the Junior
high schedule in 1928. there have
been a number of Junior teams
which have defeated Class B high
school elevens in the Valley. While
the Junior games are as fast and
spectacular as a rule as the high
school games there is not as much
individual starring

’Hound Parents
To Be Honored
SAN BENITO Nov. 18-Colleges
may have their homecoming games
but San Benito high school will ob-
serve parents’ day at the tilt with
Donna here Friday afternoon.
Passes have been issued parents
of every boy on the football squad
and the daddies and mothers will
be honored between halves of the
game. The pep squad is arranging
a special demonstration
In the meantime the Greyhounds
are occupied with the serious busi-
ness of stopping the Donna Red-
skins who are expected to provide
stubborn opposition. The Injuns
may go on a scalping spree at any
time as some leading Valley teams
may well testify and the Hounds
know it.
The Indians ace the next to the
last hurdle tor the Hounds who
will have a breathing spell next
week and then play at McAllen
Thanksgiving. Trie Hound* prob-
ably will be without services of
