Brescia. One virgilian scholar, Senator
Albini, has raised protest and points
out that examining ancient writers,
Mantua is linked vIth Virgil's name in
the following: "Mantua Vergilio Gaude
Of Ovid" "Marone Felix Maritua Est of
Marizal," "Mantau Musarum Domus of
Silio Italico.'
Another great argument is that the
poet himself lov~d Mantua with deep
feeling and paid filial tribute to this
city In his poems. It Is well known that
his fathers farm was on the banks of
the Mincio. This land was confiScated
when an edict ordered the sale of all
land in Cremonia, in the vicinity of
Mantua. Virgil obtained restitution
owing to the kind Offices of powerful
friends. In the meantime he took his
father and his family to live with him
in his small country home with the old
teacher Siron. If he was born 80 miles
from Mantua it is hardly likely that he
could have described the countryside as
too distant in those days Virgil exalts
Mantua in many pastoral poems. Be-
Sides mention is made. in the Aeneade,
on whose ship the emblem was "Mincio,
Daughter Of Benaco." For this reason
there is great hope that the two points
of view may become one before the fes-
tiyitieS. begin next year.

SAINT PLAYERS
SHOW UP WELL
Coach Sheffield Has Men
For Every Position Of
Previous Experience

AUSTIN, Tex, March 22.-(P-
After watching his BASEBALL candi-
dates for a week, Jim Sheffield, new
st. Edwards University baseball
coach, has begun to experiment
with tentative lineups and will soon
begin to hold practice games.
Although the scramble for posi-
tons has by no means been ended,
a pretty fair notion of the perma-
nent makeup of the squad can be
obtained from watching the men at
work on the practice field.
A guess, and as yet it is only a
guess, would place Watty James at
first base. Dan Riyans at second.
Curlev James at short. Alton Burger
at third. Arthur Guerra or Tony
Bomba behind the bat, lansing,
Loran and Parma in the outfield.
with a staff Of four or five men
working on the mound.
The pitchers who look good to
date are Captain Dyer, Anders,
Scott, Mcdonald. Beach and Daley.
Anders was the most successful
hurler on the club last year, and
it appears likely that he and Dyer
will be the mainstays of the staff. at
least in the early part Of the sea-
son.
Watty James seems easily the
class Of the first sackers. He is q
fourth year man and handles him
self well. IF ne retains his wallop
at the bat, he Will look good to beat
out Vail, Ransom. Sarta and
Califa, his most serious opponents
for the place.
At second there is no veteran in
the running. Of the newcomers.
Rivas seems to handle the ball most
clearly, though Burke is also show
ing some ability. Whether Curley
James will have dangerous competi-
ton for his old Job 1T short is not
yet certain. Raffaelli IS showing
some fielding ability, but he needs
considerable seasoning. Perhaps
the most promising Of the neWcom-
ers is Burger. at third. He looks to
be among the best in college circles,

Municipal Fairgrounds are be-
coming popular in south Texas, and
we hope Brownsville and other
Valley cities fall in line. If not
now they will later. Speaking OF
municipality owned athletic fields,
and golf in particular, the Corpus
Christi Caller has this to say: "A
municipal golf course, it was de-
clared at the junior chamber Of
commerce banquet Tuesday night,
would be a great inducement to
tourists to come to Corpus Christi.
Which is quite true.
San Antonio's municipal golf
course is one of its best assets.
But the value of such a recrc-
alton ground to the people who
live here shouldn't be overlooked.
Tourists, at present, NAV play on
the Corpus Christi Golf and
Country club course upon pay
ment of a nominal green's fee, and
hundreds of them do play there
each year. Many people cannot
belong TO the cGu-fry club, for
one reason or another.
They would derive as much
pleasure from the municipal course
as the visitor from other cities or
states. Golf is no longer a recre-
alton for doddering old men with
more money than they can spend.
Young and old enjoy the game. A
municipal course would be a real
contribution to the 10y Of living"
