The great feature of this first game of the season, as well as of many of the other games, was the large number of goals made by Shuckman as center and Puckett as forward. While a large score was run up against Harlingen, the local guards were unable to check the number of tallies on the other side. Brownsville emerged, however with the big end of the score, 36-19. 7 La Feria, like Harlingen, was put out of the basket-ball race when she tangled up with Coach S-mith's team of goal tossers. Puckett again was the star goal shooter, while Dancy, the other forward ran him a close second. The guards again showed a tendency to lct their opponents score heavily, and the game ended with a closer score that had the previous game. B. H. S.-56. La Fcria-27. From the first tossup in the San Benito game. it was evident that the two teams were evenly matched. Darby and Long led the Saint's smash- ing offense, while Brownsville depended mainly on the accurate goal shooting of Dancy, Puckett. and Shuckman. San Benito led during the first half, by a decided margin, but with Graham and Valente playing the guard positions for Brownsville, San Benito 's lead was cut down during the second half, and one minute before the final whistle, Brownsville was ahead: but Darby made a long shot from a difficult angle and just as the whistle won the game for San Benito. Score 45-4-1. The game with Stuart Place was really the anticlimax of the season so far as Brownsville was concerned, Brownsville fell into a slump through the loss of their captain and guard, Jewell Richards. Stuart Place had an excellent team: as one of the members of the local team expressed it, They played as if they came from the north. Stuart Place won 35-16. A return game with Harlingen was played one week after the game with Stuart Place. The moral of the two teams was low, the effects of their having both been defeated: they seemed to lack interest in the game. A strong wind kept the scoring on both sides down by destroying many perfect shots. Browns- ville won this game with a score of 35-27. lla Fcria came next in order for a return game. This game threatened to be a shut out, as La Feria did not score a single point during the first half. had not the Brownsville regulars been taken out and the second team put in. This game was a tryout for the players who will compose next year's team. Having been beaten once by San Benito and once by Stuart Place, we felt that the1'e was little chance to stage a come-back in the second game against San Benito, however, the local team fought their losing battle cheerfully, and lost their final game of the seasong 2-1-12.
