former Southwestern university grid
luminary. He succeeds r. w. Nor
rison, resigned. Brady has been
coaching at Georgetown high school

mission to use part Of the city park
south of here has been secured from
the city commission. and this tract
OF land is now being leveled and
otherwise improved. Polo posts and
other paraphenalia will be secured

III the new sport venture proves
a success at Harlingen it is likely
that other Valley cities will fol-
low suit. Brownsville has always
taken an interest In polo, due TO
its proximity to Fort Brown,
where the game Is played practi-
cally the year round. III two or
three Valley cities we're 10 organ
ize clubs, they doubtless would OBJ
tain lively competition from Fort
Brown. The Mexican 43rd cavalry
also Is planning to put a polo
team on the field.
Brownsville might even 60 so far
as to organize a woman'S team. Col
onel Koch's ridin~ school turned out
several enthusiasts among the
young set. Sally Russell and Beth
Creager have taken to nags with
gusto and they doubtless could fill
out a team from the ridin. school.
