a new coach. he is BRADY Reynolds
former Southwestern university grid
luminary. He succeeds r. w. Nor
rison, resigned. Brady has been
coaching at Georgetown high school
for the past three years where he
ran UP a good record.
The new coach Is a brother OF
Carl Reynolds, who is nov play

Of a club. More than 80 names al

States. Eighty will be sought. Per-
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
by the club and put up at the field.

some time in September.
If the new sport venture proves
a success at Harlingen ;t Is likely
that other Valley cities will fol-
low suit. Brownsville has always
taken an interest in polo. due 10
its proximity TO Fort Brown,
where the game is played practi-
caIIy the year round. III two or
three Valley cities we're TO organ
lie clubs. they doubtless would OBJ
tain lively competition from Fort
Brown. The Mexican i3rd cavalry
also is planning TO put a polo
team on the field.
Brownsville might even go so far
as to organize a woman's team. Col
onel Koch's ridin~ school turned out
several enthusiasts among tn c
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
