A dispatch from New York, in
Fridays fastest growing daily in the
south, tells US that Edwin Wide, the
Swedish track star, has arrived in
the United States and will visit va
rious high schools Of the country.
Now IL occurs to US that az the
track season gets underway in the
Valley high schools in the next cou-
PIE Of months, il wouldn't be a bad
idea to get in touch with Mr.. Wide,
and perchance he might drop in on
the Valley-and thereby add a little
more prestige. and we perforce down
here would gain a kcener insight into
the track business. Last year Char
ley Paddock came 70 the Valley. IL
was a great day in Brownsville when
he displayed his wares, as il was
elsewhere when he was on exhibit
ton.
Just remember Mr.. Edwin Wide.
the Swedish track star II in this
country, with the purpose Of visiting
high schools. Brownsville high is
going to have an excellent cinder
path this season. Mr.. Wide would

The Chicago boys must have their

But then it's about even for Tex
ans have their Chicago Jokes and
know about Big Bill Thompson, too.
Gordon Frederick in the Chicago
News says hat the famous Browns
Vile (Tex.) football team attributes
its success TO the use Of grapefruit.
lie a Y in part:
"DePaul had q tough time OF u
down at Brownsville last week and
was given a SO to D beating. True
enough, the weather had plenty to
do with the defeat and this IS why
il is hoped the same eleven may have
an opportunity 10 show its wares on
a chilly gridiron up north.
These southern lads, however,
may be lost up here without their
famous grapefruit. One has heard OF
famous Finnish long distance run
ners training on raw fish and other
sorts Of queer ways for athletes 70
improve themselves.
But the latest is Brownsville lay
inr the success Of its team to grape
fruit. The Texans quenched their
thirst on the field with the juice of
the citrus fruit and never touch
water. Plain water drunk by the
Chicsgoans may have caused their
defeat when playing in q temperature
Of 80 degrees. Bring those boys up
TO Chicago for a game and they
would be lost without their fruit
