SET want to be successful" chant you and 7.
We spend our lives in furious pursuit of what
we consider the ultimate peak Of desirability.
And when we are rich, when we are famous,
when we are successful, viii we be happy? Or
win we fnd perhaps that we have chained our
selves to our desires and that those desires are
the masters Of our fate? VIII we find we are
captives instead Of kings?
What Is success? The philosophers Of all
ages have pondered over It, They have not
decided that success Is riches, fame or power.
Out Of the pages Of history kings. artists and
emperors rise to deny that happiness consists
Of any OF these things.
THE Emperor Diocletian retired at the hight
- of his power. Why? He answers us him
self. He wished to spend the rest OF his life in
cultivating his laurel bushes, his fig trees, in
the midst of his beautiful garden. He would
rather pick of the Roman equivalent Of a
Japanese beetle suppose, than feast with the
visiting Emperor Of Cathay.
Marion Talley the operatic star, also pre-
ferred her gardens, but she was quite content
tae gltttering life OF a Metropolitan singer.
Queen Christina Of Sweden, daughter of the
warrior King Gustavus Adolphus, resigned her
crown at the age Of a. She was at the zenith
Of her career. She was powerful successful.
wealthy, but she gave up her throne TO retire to
Rome, where she collected library and enter
tanned famous scientists and men OF letters.
George washington did not care TO be Presi-
dent third time. He preferred to leave the
noise and the shouting and retire to his country
estate to live the quiet life Of country gentle
man.
The Emperor Charles v LAID down his vast
power. dotted his ermine robes, put away his
diamond scepter for the garb Of the monastery.
To our own times belongs the tale Of Ira
Dutton, who left q successful business, busy
social life. TO 60 as Father Joseph to the leper
village of Kalawao. on the Pacific Island Of
Molokai. No one win ever know why he chose
that cloistered life amid such surroundings, yet

heed the call do not pause. 1t seems almost

DOGS STRONG
In TRAINING
Especial 10 The Heraldl

McALLEN. Feb. l0.-Coach Cow
boy" Ogan's spring training ses-
sion for McAllen high school foot
ball players opened here Thursday
and more than rs candidates re-
ported. The training season will
last for at least five weeks and pos
sibly longer. Ogan stated.
The promising array Of material
removes worry that faced the Bull
dog mentor at the close of the 1929
season when a number of his stars
ere scheduled for graduation IL
May. A group Of very promising
youngsters has turned out and
proven their desire to become cogs
in a Bulldog gridiron machine
which is expected to prove a thorn
in the side Of title ~contenders dur
ing the 1880 football grind.
A number of youngsters who were
called into action a few times dur
ing the past season will return for
another fling at the coveted let
ter. Among them are Bud Earnest,
George Karam, Owen Ward. Barney
Jackson. Burgess Stutzenbecker,
John Hayes. Big Jim Walsh and
Roy McCamey. Two outstanding
performers not included in The
spring training grind because OF the
basketball season are Kendrick
Toney and Carries Modest.
A championship McAllen Junior
high school Bullpup aggregation Is
almost ready to get into the run
ming for places on Ogan's Bulldog
reserve squad and this factor will
give the Bulldogs a much better
break when coping with a team
which runs in many substitutes. IL
is safe to declare that Fred Webb,
star backfielder for the Bullpups,
will, during the next two or three
years, provide Lower Rio Grande
Valley grid followers with some Of
the most sensational exhibitions of
broken field running yet seen In
this section. Built for speed, Webb
is the answer to many a coach's
prayer. He Is light but stays solidly
on the ground and = hard TO take
out OF play. His flashing heels
have been the signal for the down
fall of many a promising junior
high school team in the Valley
during the past year. Other prom

The Bulldogs possibilities for 1880

only a narrow margin.

POLO SITUATION AT POST

Fort Brown has endeavored each
civilian teams. We believe that
good polo adds materially to the
entertainment IN all tourist CEN
ters. We believe that the Browns
vile people want and are entitled
to as good polo as can be secured.
This year as in the past the sup
port OF business and professional
men has been most generous. How
yer Il efforts to secure outstand-
ing teams have not been successful.
On account Of unprecedented bad
weather the San Antonio tourna-
ment has been SO delayed that the
visiting teams are unable to come
to Fort Brown. An effort TO secure
Mexican Army teams from Torreon
was unsuccessful. The 18th Cavalry
will participate in maneuvers this
spring which will not permit de-
laying the tournament 70 a later
date.
1t is with sincere regret that I
must announce the cancellation OF
this yer-5 tournament. The Polo
Association will promptly refund all
subscriptions for parking spaces.
Polo between local teams will be
continued until the troops leave for
target practice and maneuvers. We
hope that ehse games Will serve 90
maintain interest in polo and that
Brownsville visitors will continue
10 look upon the game as one Of
the local tourist attractions. We
look forward with assurance that
next winter with the assistance Of
our generous supporters we will be
able to hold a successful mid-win-
ter polo tournament for the Lower
Rio Grande Valley.
