After Dutch had used his first
string and saw the game was lost,

"A LA FERIA FAN" has hoped
on John Wray, Jr., former Harlin-
gen sports writer, for not giving Bill
Dickson, La Feria star. proper men
ton and hints that this was because
Harrington would attempt to take
Dickson from the La Feria fold this
season. That's pretty strong.
Chances r Wray never clamped
his eyes on Dickson throughout the
game and wouldn't know him if he
met him face to face. DickSon'S
parents are living near Harrington
and there is talk Of his attending
the Harl:ngen school instead Of the
La Ferla institution. Athletics

started the gag, and the rest of the

There are probably p American
heavyweights who could dust off
the bulk OF the foreign invaders
Schmeling is the only Il who has
proven up. The long string was be-

pretty well admitted that Dempsey
nursed the Frenchman to make il

When he does it's going to be just
loo bad.
