For that reason, Miner coaches have a big reason to be thankful. For a long time there was someJ doubt as to whether he would ever be as good as he was before the injury. During spring practice last year, limped painfully on the leg and he seemed to favor it when he turned out to practice this fall.

But he twisted, squirmed and dodged up and down the High school stadium Saturday with such ease and ability that it appeared he never had been injured. StateChamps Are Strong, Coach Says Bengals Preparing for Battle With Texas Titleholders Here Saturday Fast, Slippery Goes Unnoticed ease is one of the strangest on record here. He went out for football at the the High school two or three years and failed to get in a single game, the coaches hardly noticing him. During his first year the Mines, he was given little consideration fcy the coaches and was not sent into any games. Stewart, however, must have been watching him, for early last year, even before the 1928 season had started, he began telling the sport writers that Emmett was going to be the coming star at the Mines.

ETURNING from a scouting trip with a head full of plans, Coach Clyde Wafer Monday safed the Information that the El Paso High school Tigers will run up against some stiff opposition Saturday when they play the Abilene Eagles at the stadium. have a strong tea Wafer said in discussing the 1928 state high school WARDEN Is Injured vuieu uj pcxictiuig uiiuug ut pjayo, predictions came true, Sjgliai drill and dummy scrimmage, but best game last year Xhree of the Tigers, Holt, War- niovoH Kivm-nnns Small But Conditioned EFORE the season had started. champions. players will outweigh the Tigers 10 pounds to the man. are three outstanding players on the team, len, quarterbach Williamson, halfback.

I The pony Miner back carried the ball for many long gains that He was also bumped around pretty hard bv the heavy tacklers, finally being unfortunate i encugh to sustain a broken leg. The smallest man on the Mines team, Emmett, has proved that weight doesn't make a good football player. He is, however, probably best conditioned football player on the Mines squad.

Still the Big Sport ullfighting is still the national sport in Mexico. Some have said this pastime was dying out, but little to indicate it. Crowds of 40,000 and 50,000 pack the Bullring at Mexico City every time a fight is to take place. told.

And it was a more enthusiastic crowd than those you see at prize fights, baseball or football games. den and Goebel, are on the hospital list, each of them out with bad legs. and Goebel probably will get into the line-up this week but it is doubtful about Warden. The Saturday game with Abilene is the most important home game of the season for the Tigers.

The Eagles won the state championship last year. Coach Dewey A. Mayhew has five of his 1928 lettermen back. Bob Emmett (above,) dashing halfback for the Miners, emerged as the hero of the Mines-Tempc game Saturday. Emmett made three touchdowns, reeling off dazzling broken field runs to take the ball across the goal line.
