ball has ended its high time to
choose an all-Vallcv team for
1340.
^ Without further ado here are
f the choices
George fitrohoieyer of McAllen
and Duke Rose of Harlingen at the
ends.

pounds and every bit ol It is
muscle. This Year Coach Maco
Stew art used Snow den a> a tackle
on deleftse and fullback on offense
He is detmitely not a lulback. but
hts ability as a tackle cannot be
questioned.
Russell Ro n Dukes brother was
on all-Vallev man last year and he
earned a right to krep that honor
this season Together he and Duke
iparked a fighting Cardinal line I
which gave up only 19 points all
arason.
Two other fine tar kies from Harl-
ingen. John Queen and Charles
Amidon were right behind Snowden
rnd Rose in the running as was
Edln'mrgs Arnold Krohn. a 225-
pounder.

C J Arnold of McAllen and Dick
Bennett of Browns Mile were chosen
dor the guard po is. Bennett would
te our choice lor outstanding line-
man of the year. An all-Valley
fuard la.-t year Bennet was shifted
to tackle at he start of the 1940
season. He played that position [
unMl the Edinburg game when he
was shifted back to his old post.
Bennett played two of his great-
est pities against Edinburg and
Harlingen. He was the power that
held a laltenng Eagle line together.
As for Arnold the 175-pound
Bulldog captain is unquestionably
r 11-Valley first wring caliber. Power-
ful and speedy he stayed right in
♦here against the best of them all
iwra.on and never was ploughed
under.

170-pound center who lractured his
leg in th" final game of the season
(.gams' McAllen gets the nod over
Jacl; McMahan of Harlingen who
gave hint a close race ior the cen-
ter honor.
Also in the running were Wilbur
tormh of McAllen and Harry Car-
son of Brownsville a boy who
turned in some nice play at a
guard post ior the Eagles most of
th* sea on and continued to be
outstanding as a defensive center
agains Edinburg and Harlingen.
Pranl ip Witherspoon of Harlingen
gnd Meredith Roberta of McAllen
were the outstanding backs of the
Valiev this season.
Witherspoon was the sjvarkplug of
the championship Cardinal team.
•rrrific scat hack with a beautiful
change of pace.
Roberts is the back with the best
cnance of getting on a college team j
after graduation. He ha^ the weight
1175 pounds* which Witherspoon

Ramiro Guerra of Eiinburg and
Jim chant of Harlingen go into

Powerful Aggies Seek
To Break Austin Jins
By FELIX R. MrKSIGHT
DALLAS—' AP*—Three times since 1894—back in 1902. 09 and ’22-
the Texas Aggies have been able to win a football game against Unlver

Aggies' leading runner and passer
and signal caller is ailing.
Had -Charley Horse’*
The rangy Port Worth boy has a
very stubborn Charley horse'* that
developed a few hours after the
Rice Institute game on Nov. 16 and
he can t shake it- Pugh spept the
week-end in a Houston hospital
receiving treatment.
Advices from Colleee Station
said that he had practiced only
briefly the past week "but probably
will oe able to start the Texas
game." Brains oT the Aggie attack
Pugh also rates as one of the coun-
ts top forward passers with 49
completions out of 84 attempts for
651 yards.
Pugh declares he will be ready.
The only way they 11 keep me out
of the lineup is to have me on
crutches.” he says.
Rugged Marland Jeffrey the boy
who almost completed a 60-vard
pass in the Rice game and a great
pitcher himself will be ready if
Pugh falls out of the Texas game.
Both teams planned scrimmage
for the last time Monday on mud-
dy practice fields.

Texas had no major injuries and
Cowboy Jack Crain their feared

On The Limb
By GORDON STRAt HAN
Sunday’% post brought the l.imh*
Sitter two gloating communiques
from Harlingen.
One epistle in very feminine
handwriting was signed "Joe Bio.**
The other oddly enough was from
an esteemed Harlingen dentist who
evidently would like to go to work
on the Limb-Sitter with hu electric
drilL
• • •
Sine* our friend the dentist
wasn't afraid for us to know that his
I name is Dr. George W Diehl we ll
take up his grievances first to wit:
‘Since the Cards cut that well-
known Limb you crawled upon and
cut the same so precisely why not
show more sportsmanship than you
have of late and admit we have a
team in Cameron county the BEST
in the Valley.
• Incidentally what happened to
McAllen your pet apparently at
Edinburg? Your face should be
redder than Van Wiggins appeared
after the recent election.
"I have more that I could say.
but why aggravate a no doubt sore
spot landing' which I know you
made last night "
til
Well. Doc the Limb-Kilter
i couldn’t class you as a "painless
dentist” after that first statement
because It kmda hurts us to be ac-
cused of unsportsmanlike conduct.
But just because we don t think
your team is fis good as some others
we could mention is no reason for
saving were not sports.
The Limb-Sitter is sport enough
to say that Harlingen and Frankie
Witherspoon deserve plenty of
credit for winning the Valley crown
but he STILL thinks the McAllen
Bulldogs have the best team in the
south rone.

rapt J. W. rate of the Gulf
Ranger pleasure fishing boat at
Port Isabel informs us that the
tarpon tailing in tlte pass during
the past week was the best he has
een during his many year* of
ishing in that section.
Not only were the tarpon plentiful
but they were huge. Only a few
fishermen were out*but a total of
21 tarpon were landed during the
week and probably ten time* that
many strikes were had
Ten of the tarpon caught were
over six feet.
"I never saw anything like it”
Capt Pate said.
*Tne water was alive with them
and w> had strikes regularly. We
wouid have caught more but they
were so big that it took a long time
to lend one."
Ca -t. Pate thinks the cold water
is r ha* puts them in the pass.
In The
Hy Hart Stilwell
i’y 1ml up in the bays he says
and when the bay water gets cold
they come out to the passes.
We asked Capt. Pate what he
though; about prospects alter the
present cold weather.
"If it isn't too severe the fishing
ought to be even better.*' he told us.
So we pass on this information
to you.
W> have heard some complaints
rf pilots flying out along the coast
or over the flats and enjoying
themselves by swooping down over
h.g bunches of ducks and scaring
them up.
These are not transport pilots but
local fliers some of them in train-
ing planes.
We checked with G B Saunders
of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service and he showed us a copy
rf the laws on this subject.
It's agin the law You can't do
«t. So let the ducks alone.
Out near the edge of the city
there :s a trailer car which during
the daytime is surrounded by dis-
plays of those little moulded toy
animals and birds—dogs parrots
monkevs. and so on.
Well we got to work earlier than
usual this morning and when we
passed the trailer car we noticed
that all the toy* were inside—all
except one.
Out in front of the trailer door
was a toy- dog—left there no doubt
;o guard the premises.

Culler-Times.
Vic was up n\ Harlingen Friday
night to *ee the Curds play and
after watching the game he told the
Limb-Sitter that McAllen has the
best team in the Valley end that
the Bulldogs could give the Corpus
Christ! Buccaneers more of a fight
than the Harlingen team will Ain't
that unsportsmanlike?
• • •
He aha said. Doe. that Corpus
Christ! has a couple of backs nam-
ed Jack Creager and Dick Haas who
are milling to show Frankie Wither-
spoon a thing or three.
That ought* be sacrilege In your
books. Doc.
• • •
As for McAllen being “our pet'*
Doc. take a gander at the All-Val-
ley team we've got on our sports
page.
The Cards have as many men as
anybody on the first string and in
our opinion every one of them rates
the honor Doc.
And as for Edinburg's victory
over McAllen—the Bulldogs ran
against a heavy inspired team of
Bobcats mho beat Coach Maco
Stewart’s boys on a couple of breaks
one a fumbled kickoff and the oth-
er an intercepted pass. The break
which gave Edinburg a score mas
! the same which enabled Bromnsv ille
to beat the Bobcats two weeks ago.

ception.
This is no “*«re spot landing'* for
the Limb-Sitter Doc. He s used to
a few setbacks The victory me
predicted for Brownsville over Har-
lingen was what me mould term
an upset choice or mhat Doc Os-
born would class as a “three-star
special.’’ and it might have been
just that if the Eagles had commu-
ted less fumbles and fouls. *
The limb mas sawed off behind
him Friday night. Doc but the
Limb-Sitter is crawling out on the

Since the Limb-Sitter believes
