STRANGE FOR NEALE
TO BE A GRID FAN

Each season the great game Of foot
ball draws new fans. This year Will be
no exception. But one of the new faces
in the stands this Fall will be one that
registers complete understanding OF
what is going on down there below. 1t
will be Earle Greasy Neale, on vaca-
ton from coaching.
For 20 years Greasy Neale has either
been on the field or on the side lines.
He's never sat in the stands and
watched others play the game. He's
always had hand in the playing.
First, he was one of the country's
best ends at West Virginia Wesleyan,
and later coach at Marietta, Washing
ton and Jefferson and Virginia. He
had two more years to coach at Viz
ginia when he asked for his release
so that he could join the st. Louis Car
dinals, for whom he now is scouting.
He is ambitious to manage a big
league ball club, and his name has
been mentioned in connection with two
where changes in managers are ex-
pected.
Neale is noted in both base ball and
foot ball. He was an outflelder with
the Reds when they won the world
series in 1919.

on Just what an amateur foot bali player
may do in tn eway Of earning little
money without actually jeopardizing his
amateur standing.
The problem Of amateurism always
will be a vexed one. Associations ike
the United States Lawn Tennis AsSocla-
ton and the United States Golf ksSo-
citation, which have tried to define anna
teurism to the nth degree, have merely
stepped into plenty Of trouble. The for
mer had its constant veXations In con-
nection with william Tilden, I'd. and
the latter once was annoyed no little by
the genial Francis Ouimet.
All the foot ball coaches urged
their players to engage in manual
labor II possible during the Summer,
in order to get themselves into con-
dition for the season which Is about
to start. Some Of them worked with
pick and shovel, and naturally &C
cepted such sordid gain as can be
accumulated with the pick and
shovel. There are some that might
claim that this was capltanzlng
their athletic prowess and practi-
cally accepting money for training.
AS a matter Of fact, this point was
raised in connection with an amateur
rowing club in Australia. It was ruled
that a blacksmith who was member
of the crew could not be claSsed as
simon pure amateur because the facl
that he did manual labor-for which ne
was paid-helped to keep him In con-
ditior for the rowing. As the black
smith knew no other trade and hao nc
Independent income he was forced tc
forfeit his amateur standing.

That's all been threshed out. Be

worked in The Drop Kick so they

'COWPEAS ARE
RECOMMENDED
Would Furnish Necessary
Humus Lacking, County
Agent Says

Cowpeas as a remedy for the lack
Of humus in Valley soils is strongly
recommended by Henry T.. Alsmeyer,
Cameron county agent, in the fol-
lowing article on the subject:
"The soils OF Cameron county lack
humus, which Is very noticeable,
causing the soil to pack hard after
an irrigation or a heavy rain. HUI
mus does not allow the soil to pack,
but keeps it loose and easy to work,
also increasing the water holding
capacity of the soil.
"Cowpeas planted now, and then
plowed under, not only furnish a
good humus but increase the most
expensive ingredient of a fertilizer,
nitrogen. An average crop Of cow
peas turned under, will add more
than 11G pounds Of nitrogen per
acre, having an actual value Of at
least $14.00 per acre.
Last year j. j. Bishop of Browns
vile planted cowpeas on a part of
his land. This year he has planted
his land to potatoes, and there is a
noticeable increase in the vine
growth and the size of the potatoes
where cowpeas have been planted
over the soil that has not received
this benefit.

of all Valley flares in the history of
the Lower Rio Grande Valley, &C
cording to John T. Floore, manager
of the Valley Mid Winter Fair, who
announces that the addition has
Just been made of a number of new
features in the Fair which are ex-
pected to create much interest in
this years Valley Fair. Among these
new features are included the Home
States clubs idea, and the curio and
relic department which have here
tofore functioned only in a minor
way as a part of the general art
department. The fair, which is
usually held during five days in
December, will be of six days dura-
ton this year, according to the Fair
committee. A Sunday will probably
be set aside al a special Mexican
Sunday, according to Mr.. Floore,
who says that a number of Mexican
people have made requests to that
effect.
