How Citizen" Can Aid
Blind Children

S0SSe
Blind Children
Editor, Times:
Just a word about the letter
entitled Schools for Blind
Children Needed" written by
"A Citizen" I am glad that a
citizen has taken an interest in
the blind children of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
For the citizens information,
am directing attention to the
following:
cat the offices of the Board
of Education. I am informed
that the number of children
which may be sent to the Mary
land School for the Blind at
Overlea, Md, is limited by the
amount of the annual appro-
priation carried in the District
appropriation bill. An allow
ance of $500 for each child is
made. The appropriation now
current is $1,000. which pro
vides for the tuition of % blind
children of school age. I am
further informed that the
Board Of Education will ask an
additional $500 to be included
in the next appropriation bill,
to care for one additional blind
child"
It is possible that "A Citizen"
might we'll direct the blind chill
dren to the Board of Education
under the existing compulsory
school law and then possibly
criticize the board or Congress
if they fail to care for the
blind children and provide the
something sadly and badly
needed in the way Of a school
to educate and train them if
this is not already being done.

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 3.-TWenty-
eight men have been selected BY
Coach Frederick J. Linehan OF tFe
University Of Mexico to be ready for
action when international football
makes its seasons debut at Denver
with q game between Mexico and
the University OF Denver, Oct. 8 at

Stuart Ludlum, and Manager Ro-
berto Noriega. Is due to arrive in
Denver Oct. Y. following departure
from Mexico City the night Of Oct.
3. The Mexican gridders will then
have two days to practice in Den
yer.
Mexico's chances to break into
the win column are not any too
rosy against Denver, although the
team, led by lanky Manuel Landa,
right end. represents a healthy i'm
provement over last years eleven
and the green eleven that started
football here two years ago.
Heavy Line
The bulk OF the hope for the
Mexican eleven can be pinned ON
the strength Of her line, this for
ward wall, which will average about
100 pounds from end TO end, hav-
ing worked hard the past two
months under the tutelage of an
all-Americap guard, Coach Line
han Of Yale. The backs too have
been whipped into shape, and Mex
ico'S offense constitutes a threat
via land or via air. Ludlum, also
a Yale man, has charge Of back
field coaching.
While Mexico'S starting lineup has
not been picked, the following, with
the weights OF the linemen indi-
Gated. Is a likely me-:
Ends, Landa (captain) 1875, and
Gavaldon, 100; tackles, T.. Mendez,

The game started with the Bears

but at the end Of TIL Aalf the only
thing hat indicated the Bear were
better than the Cats was the Go
count. The score came early la the
second quarter when Calhoun
plunged over left tackle three
yards for the marker. DeVine
placed the oval in scoring position
with a nice run.
Up TO that point, the Pharr
gridsters were e" ly the outstand-
ing club OF the afternoon, but aft
er the lone goal. the Bears seemed
10 let down and from then on IL
was nip and tuck between the two
teams.
The last quarter Of the game
found Weslaco uncorking an aerial
attack IN a vain effort to tie or win
the game, but the tri-city lads took
great pleasure in knocking down
the not-too-certain losses II the
Weslaco backs.
The Bears offense was led by

mainstays for Weslaco were Cliff
