Read this. Supt. Gotke, of the To-
cal public schools who, in his high
school days in Iowa, was an athlete
iof note. He won a county meet one
time, although he finished in third
place in each event. Believe IT or
not, as Mr.. Ripley would say, but

Texas, the state where good re-
lays are held, might well be append
ed to every sport page in the coun-
try. Why? Two of the most sue
cessful national meets ever held IN
the u. s. were completed last week.
Friday Texas University was host TO
the track artists, and on Saturday
S. M. u. at Dallas were hosts. The
meet was a success in every respect
and received the commentator of
the best minds" of the country who
were on hand either as spectators
or As officials. Add another niche
to the fast growing one in the Lone
Star states fame as the leading
athletic unit of the country.

It does an amateur baseball nine
a lot OF good to play a professional
club 10Y and then. For many rea-
sons. If the "ams" are smart they
will pick up many pointers from
! the boys who make their bread and
butter at the business. Another

promoter, is doing a lot for the

His cards have been as good as
any ever put on in this part of
the state. 1t speaks well for Tex.
