WHIFF, BING, BANG BEFORE YOU
REALIZED IT SCORE WAS 20-0,
YORKTOWN 27, PALACIOS 13 AT END
Hopes for the ‘‘Speedy and Spir-
ited” Sharks to he conference
champions faded in the first few
seconds of the name Friday night.
Coach Paul flips' hard-charging
Yorktown "Wildcats” kicked to the
Shurks to open the game. The
Sharks carried the ball for Hire,
plays and on the fourth play of the
game had u kick blocked and the
Yorktown team fell on it over the
goal line for the touchdown. The
extra point was made.
Yorktown aguin kicked to the
Sharks, and after four plays toua
over possession of the ball on
downs. On the first play they drove
over left tackle for a touchdown.
Before the game was three minutes
old the Yorktown team hud scored
again on the same style of pluy
and led by the score of 20 to 0.
This would huve disheartened any
light team, but the Sharks came
fighting back to again get in the
game witli a 13-20 score. Before
the game was ended, however, the
Paul (lips’ hoys had made another
counter and the final scoio wus
27 to 13.
The blocking, tackling, and the
running of Interference thut had
been sc noticeable in previous
games by the Sharks were missing
in Friduy night’s encounter. All
in all the Sharks had an olf night—
and a hard one.
The Sharks will tie Idle this week
in priming for the game with the
Port Lavaca “Sandcrabs” to he
played there Friday, November 7.
There were 201 players in the
two major leagues and 2,007 in all
the minor leagues during the 1017
season who were graduates of
American Legion Junior Baseball.
Those girls with dreamy eyes
sure keep a man awake.

Texans figure it’s just a jaunt—the 318 miles from
Victoria to Dallas. But that’s four miles farther than the
drive from Boston to Philadelphia that touches six states!
It’s a long way to go in Texas, so you need tires with
more miles built in. And we have them, ready to put on i
your rims today--rugged, rawhide-toug.h MANSFIELDS! f

More than 35 years of tire-building know-how have gone into the new
Mansfields. Stronger, tougher cords give better resistance to road shocks.
Streamlined design eliminates the drag-weight that builds up heat.
Drive by and let us fit your car with a set of tires that will deliver those
extra miles you have to drive in Texas. You need the safety and service
you'll get from Mansfields.

What looms to lie the football
classic of the area will lie played

“Wildcats" in what will probably
determine the winner of this dis-
trict.

the number one team of the con-
ference, will meet up with a hard-
fighting Yorktown team — fresh
from a stunning 27-13 victory over
our own Palacios "Sharks".
Other games of the area will
find Buy City at Richmond, Free-

This Daffy Game Called Football Produces
Unusual Incidents During Past Week End
Roger Bros. Circus
Here Sat., Nov. 1st
Some weeks ago arrangements
were made for the big Roger
Brothers 3-ring circus to show in
Palacios for two performances
starting at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. on
Saturday, November 1. This big
show brings many outstanding fea-
tures presenting 27 sensational acts
with scores of performers and
trained, and wild animals by the
truck load. Roger Bros, big circus
is most outstanding.
Many sensational features are
presented in the big show, and the
showground east of Ranch Grill on
circus day will be a mammoth city
of giant flameproofed tents and
will become an entertainment holi-
day for young and old. One of the
largest elaborated horse exhibits on
tour is carried by Roger Brothers
circus and is really a sight to see
which includes many finer Educa-
ted High School performing and
dancing horses.
Vanderbilt And
Crescent Remain
Undefeated In 6-Man
Crescent and Vanderbilt remain-^
ed undefeated leaving the decision
of who shall be district leaders for
next Friday when the Oilers meet
the Crescent Blue Jays in an af-
ternoon game Friday, October 31
at Crescent. Crescent took a seem-
ingly strong Blessing team 52-14
there Friday night with Wuthrich
and Mathys teaming up to run the
Red Birds ragged. At the same
time Vanderbilt was having an
easy time against a weak Van
Vleck team 72-26 with their re-
serves getting some experience.
In Louise the Louise Hornets
downed the Markham Mustangs
48-34 as Poole and M. Ramsey
teamed up on a spread formation
to score three touchdowns a piece.
Scoring also for Louise was George
and Poncik.
Lolita-Laward had a bye in
district play and took on Friends-
wood at Lolita. The report has not
come in but by comparative scores
Friendswood should have had an
easy victory.
District Standing
This game called football. . . We saw and heard of two
of the daffiest incidents yet. We saw Yorktown havinff
possession of the ball only one play make two touchdowns—
a blocked kick, and an off-tackle run. We heard the Baylor-
A. & M. game, when the officials called a penalty on the
last play of the frame, and the Aggie cadets carrying the
two teams to the dressing rooms—while the officials sat
on the field awaiting their return for one more play on the
one yard line. 4
Coach George Holst’s “Sharks” will have an open date
this Friday—the sports fans will journey to Port Lavaca
for the top game of the week between Yorktown and Port
Lavaca.
Much Better, Girls; V. F. W. Basketball
To Start Monday; Welcome Back Sports
Bruvo! Bravo! If there was any-
thing that stood out at the game
Friday night worth mentioning it
is the way the majorettes remained
with the band. It looked a lot bet-
ter and more according to the rules
of the game. As one spectator
remarked, “They even had more
life at the half, because they were
not run down from running up and
down the sidelines." Much better,
girts.
Rodden Purswell, athletic direc-
tor of the Lt. Wm. Lloyd Queen
Post of the V. F. W. announces
thut basketball practice will get
underway Monday night at the high
school gym. He also stated that
the team is for the enjoyment of all
youth, and you do not have to lie
a veteran to be given a fair try-out
for the team. Any boy, who is not
eligible for a high school team, is
invited to come out und play.
An effort will be made to or-
ganize a league again this year
with play to begin the latter part
of the year.
Two Ace Cardinal
Scouts Will Hold
Victoria Tryouts
VICTORIA, Oct. 22—The St.
Louis Cardinals will dispatch two
of their aee scouts to Victoria to
conduct a tryout camp for aspiring
young ball players at Riverside
Park, Friday and Saturday, Octo-
ber 31 and November,l.\ v :
Many baseball - minded youths
harbor the secret ambition to bfl-,
come professional baseball players,
but don’t know how to go about it!
Of course, they must have the
necessary qualifications, and the
first thing for boys to do who have
these qualifications is to attend a
baseball tryout camp where they
will have the opportunity to dem-
onstrate their abilities before ex- _
perienced baseball men associated;
with major league baseball clubs. | §
The Cardinal organization held
over 60 such camps all over the
country last summer with an at-
tendance of nearly 5,000 boys. Of
this vast number, if past records'
are panelled, 70 per cent of the
players signed to contracts will be
successful in professional baseball.
An opportunity to enter the ranks
of pro-ball will be offered the
qualified players attending the Vic-
toria camp.
Tryouts will begin at 1 o’clock
each afternoon and continue
throughout the day. C. A. “Runt"
Man- and Fred Hawn, experienced
Red Bird seputs, will be in charge
of the camp and put the aspirants
through their paces.
In a sporting way ... it is good
to see the Texas Company crew
back in our midst. They are a
group of good sports. Remember
the softball team they had in the
league this year.

That car of yours cost a lot of money. It’s just
plain common sense to have faulty brakes fixed im-
mediately ... to have inadequate lights made
right ... to have necessary adjustments taken
care of before they grow into larger troubles. We*
can put your car in top condition for so little. Then
you can smile at driving hazards, sharp curves . . .
and let those who don’t use common sense pay the
bill.
