at Brownsville With the two leaders, Austin and Brackenridge, pitted against weaker teams, little material chance is expected in the District Eight, standings this week. Austin, the only undefeated, untied eleven in the circuit, will piay the part of host to Alamo Heights. Austin is expected to be an ungracious host In that they will give the Mules a good trimming. Brackenridge, the only other team to avoid defeat, will tie into Har- lancJoie at Ean Antonio. Brackenridge will be the favorite, 1 Robstown and Main Avenue has the appearance of a good game.

This tilt will be played at San Antonio. Robstown began the season with excellent material and great prospects, but this has dwindled away. Week before last, Main Avenue wrecked the hopes of another south Texas entry by sinking Corpus Christi. The Buc fans had worked themselves into a. ga-ga condition over the prospects for a district championship.

However Main Avenue messed up their hand-picked schedule and will likely do the sam to Robstown. A Few Fights Kcrrville, who has shown in the way of strength, will pay her respects to Corpus Christi this week 1 and Laredo comes to Brownsville. Corpus and Brownsville should be the winners. Considerable stuff of interest has been shuffling across the boards in District Eight. San Antonio has accused Corpus Christi of hand-picking a "championship" schedule, by avoiding tough teams.

Corpus waxed Indignant and pointed out that she had a came with Robstowrj in their opinion, was Indication of their r.ood faith. There also has been considerably row as to whether Laredo was or was not a member of District Eight. Weary from severe poundings. Laredo was not overly concerned with the situation.

University's Golden Bears supplied the first big upset of the 1930 Southwest Conference campaign by the battling of the Southwestern Methodist University Musangs to a sensational 14 to 14 tie before 12,000 fans here today. The Bears scored the ty ing touchdown late in the final quarter. Pushing back deep into their own territory with less than two minutes to play and the Methodists leading by 7 points. The Bruins gambled and won. Alford, surrounded by Mustang linesmen, dropped bacK and pegged a perfect pass to McEl- reaht, speedy little halfback who eluded two members of the Pony secondary defense and romped 65 yards for the score that sent Baylor's adherents into semi-hysteria.

With a tie or defeat hanging on his toe, McElreath then calmly sent a place kick squarely between the cross bars for the extra point. It was a climax with a punch to as thrilling a combat as the southwest i ever witnessed. Baylor Conies Back Getting away to a. lead in the opening period, when Louie Long scooped up a blocked punt and ran 25 yards for a touchdown, and scoring again in the third period on a long pass, Gilbert Long, the apparently had the game in the bag until the Baptists launched their furious last quarter assault. A drive from midfield gave tne Bears their first score when the closing period was half gone.

A flip from Alford to Harris for 25 yards and a beautiful 20-yard run by Jake Wilson, diminutive quarterback, carried to the Mustangs' five-yard line, from whence Lewter plunged over on his third try. He kicked the goal for the point. Even at that, however, the Mustangs still appeared confident of victory, ar.d twice started drives that went deep into Baylor territory as time grew short. Ii looked like it was al; over when Kattman sicked to the 35-yard line and only two minutes remained, thvi came that pass to McElreath ar.d the resulting 65 yard sprint. Southern Methodist accounted for 12 first downs ar.d 12 for Baylor.

Glenna Collett, the wonder girl of American golf, reached new and brilliant heights today when she stroked her way to her fifth national women's title with a six and five victory over Virginia Van Wie of Chicago, in the 36-hole' 'finals of the 1930 classic. As calmly as though out for a couple of practice rounds, the defending champion of the last two years pitted her mastery of the woods and irons against the challenge of her young rival.

Oblivious to everything, including frequen applause from several thousand spectators, Miss Collett set a steady pace that produced the best golf of the tournamen Pressed only during the first nine holes, which she finished one up on the Chicago girl, the champion set out to rnake history in the second half cf the morning round.

Who's Coin? Down? It is the general opinion thai the Valley championship will fall to one of four, teams--Harlingen, Weslaco, San Benito or McAllen.

It will be a "Big Three" after this week, because either San Benito or Karlingen are going down. More than likely, the Valley champions will be an undefeated club. McAllen has not shown her stuff in Valley circles so far. More can. be told after her two games this week.
