Since 1917 Pennsylvania has met
five Southern teams on the grid

The scrappy little Business

ought to give Emerson Insti-
tute quite a busy afternoon OF
it today when the two meet
on the Monument ground

Undaunted by their defeat last
week from Swavely Prep, the Sten-

be outweighed. With the exception
Of Joe Healy, who has left school to
go to work, Emerson will take the
field with its regular lineup. Long

happen to them Coach Lynn Wood

Montague suffered wrenched

news followed an examinat ion of the

The Gulf Of Mexico will come

the Mediterranean was in the

talk at the convention, Dancy said,
and he expressed the belief that
Brownsville can take a salient

1T Is my belief that citizens OF
Brownsville and the Valley are
~neglecting one or their best OPP
portunities in the intracoastal can

canal will be OF far more benefit
than any port Of less than 25-foot
depth. While ! am not against the
port, indeed, I am working for IL
with all my ability, I am not kidd
ing myself that it will give any
thing like the relief that the can
al would. The nine-foot intracoast-
al canal will give connections by
water with Pittsburgh. Kansas
City, Birmingham, Buffalo, and
other leading markets Of the north
and east. with immediate benefits
in cutting freight rates on goods
shipped either way.
by all means get the deep

but don't neglect the canal, and
the hug-the-coast highway. The
latter supplies your belt-line road
at once, connecting the capitals Of
Canada, the United States and
Texas.
Government Pays
Another beauty OF the canal
proposition Is that the govern
ment pays the entire cost. On the
port the Valley must so fifty
fifty, but for the canal 1t Is only
necessary to furnish the right-of-
way and build wharves."
With the canal and the port,
Brownsville would occupy a COM
handing position In regard to the
trade from both Mexico and south
America, the Panama canal Civ
ing primary place On the west as
well as the east coast.
ITO my mind, there are at pre-
sent four vital points in the devel-

OF them should be given its full
value In the minds Of the people.
