~ JOHN "Leche" Sylvester, Browns
vile football star who Main Ave-
nue. (San Antonio) and Austin
high school coaches Friday inform
ed Coach Douglas Fessenden Is in
eligible, has a brother-and there
by hangs q tale.
These upstate coaches stated they
have newspaper clippings which
show he played In 1926, 1927, and
1928. They say he was certified
as eligible in 1925.
Not knowing that John has a.
brother, the San Antonio and Aus
tin coaches made a natural mis-
take.
The brother was also known as
~Leche" Sylvester. Fred, the
brother, has been in the army.
The younger Sylvester. "Leche"
No. J.. played quite some football
himself in 1925, 1926 and 1927. the
records reveal.
Then as he stepped out Of the
picture along came his older broth
er. ''Leche" No. 2.
This ''Leche" No. was quite a
sensation In 1928 and IL the "in-
formers" care to look up the rec
ord they will find the boy praised
especially in newspaper comment
because 'it was his first year"
The nickname "Leche" is come
by honestly, by the way. Sylvester,
senior, proud father Of Leches Nos
/ and 2, is proprietor Of a dairy
and sells milk.

operators of the Brownsville mu-
nicinal airport under lease from the
city, already are becoming cramped
for space it was indicated at the
city commission meeting here Fri

Attorney 4. L. Yates. represent
ing the air mail and passenger line
operators In a request that per-
mission be granted to assign the

cluded within the boundary lights.
under terms OF the lease the air
line was promised use Of additional
portions Of the asa acre tract as
the need arose. AT present 322
acres Of ground are included with
in the border lights. leaving l66
acres for expansion.
Two enormous hangers at the
airport are nearing completion and
when they are ready for use the
company will have more than S6,-
600 square feet of floor space. in
Guiding the two hangers erected
by the city. for shops and plane
storage.
A constant growth OF traffic be-
tween Brownsville and Central AM
erica countries as far south as Qua
temala and development Of busi-
ness between Brownsville and points
north are given as reasons for the
expected expansion.
When the airport was completed
and dedicated last March II was
called "the most modern develop I
ment of the year in the Valley
But IL IS doubtful II even the I
most sanguine dreamed the growth
would be 50 rapid.
