The opponents of the Javelinas in
their first home game are not known
as yet .since their are two or three
teams trying to get the same dates.
Coach Smith has not made definite
arrangements but thinks the Bronchos
of Edinburg College will be the first
college team to oppose liis charges.
Regardless of who takes the field
against them, we believe that the
Javelinas are going to flash the best
basketball that has ever been played
in Kingsville.
Milligan, captain from last season,
is due to report for practice about the
first and should add much to the
scoring punch of an already danger-
ous group. When he is “right” there
are few men who can surpass his
basketball tossing, and in addition to
that he is remarkably accurate and
efficient in floor work.
In Cornelius, West, Hunter, Pear-
son. McNabh and George, Coach Ogan
has a promising but rathfer inexperi-
enced group of high school perform-
ers. All of them had some experience
last season, but cannot in any sense j
be called finished players, and they ,
will require much work and drill be- j
fore they will become a real threat
in the district which takes in such 1
teams as Mathis, Chapman Ranch, '
Taft and Corpus Christi.
Another football game was won by j
die flipping of a coin, and incidentally j
it was another championship game at i
that. The steady rain during the 1
first of last week were given as rea-
sons for the cancelling of the game
between Robstown and Del Rio. The :
champions were not to be without ;
their just dues, however, and meas
ures were taken to provide for the |
laurels of th • best club. Whereupon
Mule Frazier of San Antonio was I
picked to settle the question by flip- j
ping a coin. We do not know die re- ;
quirements or qualifications that Mr.
Frazier had to fulfill. Anyway( Robs- j
town lost.
This rather common practice of j
ie games and disputed games has at- 1
raeted the attention of numerous:
ootball authorities who are not sat- j
sfied with the game as it is, and j
tome of them are advocating radical
hanges to be made in the rules when
he annual coaches convention meets
m the 2Sth. “Pop” Warner of Stan-
ord, who is a believer in offensive
strength, is known to favor a newt
rule that would give a He game to'
he team entering the 20 yard line
die greatest number of times. Knute
Rockne and other great coaches who
favor a strong defense, are bitterly-
opposed to the proposed change. Just
what action will lie taken is very un-
certain, hut this and other changes
will be the subject for many debates
and orations.
A coaches style of play would be
effected greatly by such a cj*ange, to
say the least, and there are many who
believe that the 20 yard rule would
take much interest from the thrill-
ing attempts to score a touchdown.
The sporting public will be very indig-
nant if any changes are made that
would subtract the thrills or any part
of them. However, something should
be done to relieve the tie game sit-
uation, for the "matching” custom
doesn’t give the crap shooting settle-
ments a fair chance.
There is some talk of a game be-
tween the championship Abilene Ea-
gles and Brownsville. Such a game
would attract a large crowd either in
West or South Texas, but finances
would be the only object that Abilene
could have for playing the game and
in all probability they made enough
out of tHe game with Port Arthur to
last them quite a, while. Few cham-
pionship clubs are willing to appease
the curiosity of the public unless the
public pays dearly.
And it is a fact that Nurmi, the
great Finn runner, wears a size 13
shoe. The German sprint champ.. Dr.
Peltzer, also wears a 13, so Ping still
has a chance.

Here’s a New Year’s resolution that’s as easy to keep

Whereas the year 1929 contains 52 weeks, with 52
washdays, and
Whereas, washdays claim almost two months of my
