Lauds Unbiased
Report In Herald
To The Hnrn1d.

To The Herald:
! wish to take this opportunity 70
express my admiration for the un-
biased report Of the Hardin-Garner
debate which was held here at Los
Fresnos last Tuesday evening. We
know that in the heat Of n political
campaign. accusations and denials
are sometimes tossed about indis-
c%riminately without the proper
thought being placed upon them, and
it takes a real man to be the reeip-
lent Of some of them and still re-
main unbiased.
Because the Brownsville Herald
claims 10 be the Valleys
and as such should give the public 4
perfectly fair report on all matters.
] wish for you 10 know that as long
as you continue this policy 7 Will
he proud 10 be n OF your sub
scribers and boosters.
As chairman of this meeting 7
tried to follow the debate very care
fully as well as 10 observe other de.
tails and ! found that your reporter
had given a very splendid and ac-
curate resume.
Yours for continued success.
WALTER ". BOWLS.
Superintendent Of Los Fresnos

TODAY'S TENNIS TIP:

A fun swing must be cultivated by
every agpirant to the possession Of an
orthodox tennis game In executing
the drive avoid the "elbow-to- wrist
motion. Swing your racket from the
shoulder, draw 1t well back and meet
the bali at the top Of the bound, judg-
ing your distance so that you do not
have 20 reach out in front Of you TO
do this, but can take 1t at your side.
OF course, you win not master all of
these points at once. Try making the
full swing first. without hitting a ball.
Remember that after the racket has met
the ball the work is not over. Follow
through with the stroke, carrying the
racket In its natural arc onward.
To give the proper top TO the ball,
which WIN carry IL into the court In
stead OF over the backstops. angle the
racket slightly forward in the direction
you wish the ball TO take.
For the service, describe O full circle
With the racket. Swing the racket
down and backwards, then up over the
head, striking the ball thrown into the
air slightly In front Of the body and
then follow through. allowing the racket
10 complete the circle downward a. the
body Is thrown forward with the force
Of the stroke.
No two players serve exactly alike, 10
that the angle OF the racket and the
method Of foilow-through are more or
less q matter Of individual choice, pro-
yided the player keeps the one thought
In mind--that he must make a fun
swing. without cramping the arm or
checking the follow through before 1t Is
cofnDleted
