The Mustangs displayed a line so powerful that the Denton Teachers were unable to make a first down.

An eight yard sprint by P. B. Stovall in the third period was the longest gain of the afternoon for the Denton Eagles. At no other time did the Eagles have a chance for a first down. The Methodists' second string team played throughout the third period and in It there was no scoring, but with the first stringers on the field the Mustangs raced over one touchdown in the first and two in each of the second and fourth.

OWLS DEFEAT LOYOLA 12-0 NEW ORLEANS, Sept. Bice Owls from Houston broke a precedent hers Saturday afternoon, defeating Loyola's Wolfpack, 12-0. It was the first time in the five year rivalry between the two schools that Eice was victorious on the New Orleans gridiron. Twice before they had journeyed here, only to be defeated. Saturday, however, Coach Jimmy Kitts' crew wholly outclassed Loyola, keeping the Pack deep in the Maroon and Gold territory when not actually threatening their goal line.

With a sudden downpour of rain towards the middle of the first quarter, Bill Wallace tucked the pigskin under his arm and toted it 60 yards down the sidelines for the first Rice touchdown. Wallace daintily sidestepped the few would-be tacklers his interference allowed to break through.

The curbstone coacheu and bleacher quarterbacks always get a jolt or two when the supposedly "stronger" teams begin warming up at the expense of the supposedly "weaker" aggregations. Coach Harry Johnson's Weslaco Panthers supplied that jolt Friday afternoon when they kicked in Coach Rocky Rundell's Cotton Pick- YACHT RACE I Sopwith Claims Rainbow Failed to Meet His Luff NEWPORT, R. Sept. One sensation piled on another Saturday as, soundly beaten in the fourth race for the America's cup, T. O.

M. Sopwith, skipper of the British challenger Endeavour, protested the victory that pulled Harold S. Vanderbilt's defending Rainbow up on even terms with the Englishman at two each. It was the first protest filed in an America's cup contest since C. Oliver Iielin broke out a red flag in the series of 1895 between Defender and Lord Dunraven's British challenger Valkyrie III, a protest that brought disqualification of the British boat and almost caused international complications.

Apparently Sopwith based his claim on the allegation that Vanderbilt failed to meet his luff, a highly technical situationi shortly after the British sloop rounded the first mark of Saturday's 30-mite race over a triangular course 23 seconds ahead of Rainbow. Racing in a swift breeze and boisterous sea, the defender gained on both the second and third legs in the 11 to 12 miles an hour wind to cress the finish line one minute, 15 seconds ahead of Endeavour, the second straight victory for Rainbow after losing the first two races. San Benito Title Series to Begin SAN BENITO, Sent. Edwards Grocers and Kiwanis teams will battle Monday night in the first game a series to determine the softball championship of San Benito. The game probably will see Brown of the Kiwanis and Davis of the Grocers, two of the star twirlers in the league, oppose each other.

This last penalty resulted in a Card counter.

La Feria carried the game in the early periods and made a much more creditable showing than the score might indicate. One of Harlingen's touchdowns came when a punt was blocked and Saulsbury, Harlingen right end, fell on it over the goal line for a marker. Van Hoy plunged the other Harlingen touchdown after the penalty gave the Cards the ball on the one-yard stripe.

Enzo Fiermonte's campaign for the world's heavyweight championship came to a sudden and dismal ending within 15 minutes after it had opened with the fanfare of filmland.

That does not mean to say that the Weslaco victory was a surprise, but the dopesters did not expect the Panthers to beat the club by so wide a margin. Weslaco nosed out the Cotton Pickers last season for the bi- district crown, and the Picaors thought they had enough stuff t'o go back into the ranks this season. Either the Panthers are double tough this season, or Robstown did not have the material she thought she had.

All other games in this section went pretty well as expected. The District 16 teams warmed up at the expense of organizations with Brownsville downing Santa Rosa 33-0, Corpus Christi whipping Edinburg 26-0, Harling'en defeating La Feria and Laredo takmg out Hebbrouville 32-0. Tougher Games The only Valley conference tilt saw the San Benito Greyhounds nose out Rio Hondo 7-0. The Tri- City Bears took a non-conference fray from Falfurrias 50-0 while the Raymondville Bearkats did in the 'C" Stuart Place team 25-6. The schedules get a bit tougher this with, three conference racas on the docket in the Valley.

The Donna Redskins, believed to be one of Weslaco's toug'n- est opponents, will play hosts to the Rio Hondo Bobcats in one of these frays. Another will send the Mercedes Tigers to Santa Rosa and the third p'its the Mission Eagles against the Panthers at Weslaco. The non-conference games will send the Brownsville Eagles to Edinburg for a real test. This game also will afford some comparative figures, for Corpus Christi beat Edinburg 26-0. The Beeville Trojans who beat Sinton 19-0 in the opener, will pay their respects at Robstown.

O. Elkins' Santa Rosa eleven 33-0 in a one-sided encounter which saw the locals use two complete teams.

Jack Freshour's Big Bad Bobcats from Rio Hondo snarled and threat- ene to blow the San Benito Greyhounds' house in during che sss- ond half of their game here Friday afternoon but slender 7-0 lead pilsd up by the locals held until Timekeeper Livingston fired the closing gun. A neat 40-yard sprint by Capt.

Davis in the second quarter gave the Greyhounds their touchdown and a pass from Dans to dcogin their extra point but the second naif, saw the visitors make it hot for them. The Cats made a total of 13 fxtst" downs to five for the 'Hounds. San Benito did better with the passing game, completing two for a total of 18 yards. Three were incomplete and one intercepted. Rio Hondo completed one lor eight yards, four were intercepted and five incomplete.

The first quarter was listless with frequent punting. San Benito held an edge. The Touchdown Galveston Victor GALVESTON, Sept. Galveston Bucs went one up on the San Antonio Missions here Friday night in the Texas league playoffs bx them 7-2, "The second period found the boys just as slow but a remarkable steal towards the end resulted, in the only touchdown of the game. Mainer Lawson virtually took the ball away irom Rio Hondo on the Rio Hondo 41-yard line.

Davis got off to a run through left tackle and down the sideline to the goal. The pass for point was sucesslul. Before the period ended Kenedy had intercepted" a Rio Hondo pass and a first down had put the ball on Rio Hondo's 15- yard line. The period ended there. The Cats apparently had taken a swfg of arroyo water or something between halves because they came back in the third period to make three scattered first downs and threaten the Hound goal.

Lawson intercepted a Cat pass to stop this drive and San Benito punted out. Kennedy intercepted another Rio Hondo pass and Davis again punted out. Black got loose on one of his long end runs to make another first down and again threaten the Hound goal. The Cats lost the ball but they, came back in the fourth period," making three first downs in succession for their strongest bid for a score to that time. The 'Hounds held for downs on their own 10-yard line and punted to midfield.

Punts were exchanged several times and San Benito finally was put into possession of the bal lone her own 20- yard line. San Benito fumbled and. Jones recovered on the 27-yard line for Rio Hondo. A first down was made with aid of an off-side penalty and it was first down and goal to go. The first play through the line brought no gain.

Six yards were lost on a fwnbled ball on the second play. A run to the left failed to and a pass attempted on the fourth play was incomplete. Threat Halted That ended Rio Hondo's greatest threat at scoring although Wheeler recovered a San Benito fumble on the Hound 35-yard line a little later. This advantage was lost in a ment with Davis intercepting a Cat pass on his 25-yard line and turning it 10 yards. The game end- ed at this point.

Black appeared a considerable threat on end runs, gaining much ground in this manner, and Jones assisted with hefty line plunges. Davis insisted on doing most of the toting for the 'Hounds and turned in the best gains. Hofling did not come up to last year's mark md the 'Hound eleven generally seemed rather spiirtless. Parker well at tackle considering it was the first tune he had ever participated in a sport of any kind. The 'Hounds do not play this week and their next encounter will Be with Brownsville under the lights here Friday night, Oct.
