          The true story of the Mighty Mites who Ruled Texas football. Who doesn't like to see the down trodden win. These kids were orphans, in a different time, in America. Some were throw aways, some were criminals, others the family loved them but could not afford them. It was the depression. Heart rending stories about each kid. They were good at one thing. Football! They were short and light, they never matched up physically with their opponenets. Every game they played, it was an away game, as they did'nt have there own football field.
