Page 6 VALLEY SUNDAY STAR MONITOR HERALD Sunday, Sept. 26, 1937 Ohio State Uses Power To Beat Horned Frogs 14-0 DUG OUTA the BAG! by E.C.'Doc"Osborn, Grid Season Under Way The 1937 football season got down to serious business in the Rio Grande Valley the past week-end. might be just a little early to do much figuring on who will win the Class A championship but grid fans certainly have plenty to talk about. instance take the Brownsville Eagles. Before the season got under way, the "experts" had Brooks 'Conover's eleven bringing up the rear.

In the two games they very definitely they not be have played, the showed Eagles, a "push-over" for any team in the Valley. Conover has his gang hustling andeseveril members regular make a name for themselves before Thanksgiving. San Benito Greyhounds played at Weslaco Friday night and took a 6 to 0 decision over the Panthers. This was not what was expected and the 'Hounds are being given some serious consideration. This is not altogether strange to some of those have followed Valley football closely the past few years for "Mule" Brown always up with a team threat.

And don't sell the Panthers short because they lost a decision. Bobby Cannon's Edinburg Bobcats showed considerable power against Claude Dailey's Mission Eagles by winning 16 to 0. They did all their scoring in the first half and the Eagles did an about face to out-play the Bobcats throughout the last half. Had a few of the Eagie pass receivers reached in their pockets for some glue. the outcome might have been entirely different.

Both of these elevens will be heard from before the curtain comes down. The Donna Redskins and McAllen Bulldogs clashed at Donna and the Bulldogs came out on the long end of the score. A couple of intercepted passes that were turned into touchdowns won the game for McAllen. Aside from these. it appeared to the spectators the Redskins had the edge.

Pharr-San Juan- Alamo had I little trouble in downing the Raymondvilie Bearkats but in spite of an easy win are now listed as the real "dark horse" in the district race. The Harlingen Cardinals, one of the pre-season favorites, had an dote. 211 Brite's Brownsville Junior Cortege Scorpions came through with an 18 to over Herman Schmalzreid's Mercedes Tigers. The Scorps showed they possessed some power lout fumbled the ball all over the field and lost considerable yardage on offsides. The Tigers battled all the way and you can bet they will give the Class A teams plenty of trouble.

This corner fails to see anything but the closest races the Valley has ever witnessed. There does not seem to be a "weak sister" in the whole outfit and upsets may be the order of the day. The new coaches in the Valley have shown they know what the game is all about and have certainly fit right into the Valley football picture. In other words. you pick the Valley champion and don't ask us to do it for we admit we are afraid to hazard a guess.

14; Wichita 8 O'Brien Turns In Great Game At Quarterback Bucks Show Powerful Forward Wall BY FRITZ HOWELL COLUMBUS, O. (AP) A big, belligerent Ohio State football team made two touchdown thrusts through the rain Saturday to defeat Texas Christian, 14 to 0, and end the Frog's record of never an opening or Horned, intersectional grid contest.

Despite Ohio State's victory, 150-pound Texas Christian junior, Dave O'Brien, filling the shoes left vacant by the Frog's former hero, "Slingin' Sam" Baugh, stood head and shoulders above the rest of the players. Given a bit of help by his mates, O'Brien easily could have swung the tide of battle.

O'Brien completed only six of 23 passes, but despite the slippery condition of the ball his heaves were generally at the right spot. The Texas Christian attack was built around the running and passing of O'Brien. To gain against the heavy Ohio forward wall, Frogs were forced to the air and the ball proved too slippery and elusive for much success there. Ohio, however, made one of its touchdowns by the air route. The Bucks, showing a complete reversal of the attack generally associated with Coach Francis A.

Schmidt's teams, tossed but four passes, completing two of them for a total gain of 47 yards, one more than the Horned Frog's six completions netted.
