MEXICAN YOUTHS
Visitors Kept in Trim for
Foot Ball Game With
Central Friday.

Foot hall or no foot ball, young
Mexico has taken Washington.
The all-star high school team from
the capital of our nearest Southern
neighbor today stepped out for their
last time prior to their game Friday
with Central High School at Griffith
Stadium.
Plans had been laid for the enter
tainment of the boys, arranged with
the idea of keeping them fully in
trim for the contest, but young Wash
ington has stepped in and altered
those well-laid plans. Reacting spon-
taneously to the personality of the
boys on the team, high school students
of Washington have assumed the
role of hosts to be sure the athletes
enjoy their expedition to Washington.
Visit National Capitol.
Yesterday they missed seeing the
Capitol because they were too inter-
ested in the Smithsonian and the
National Museum. To make up for
the omission they were taken to the
Capitol first today. There their guides
were Spanish-speaking students of
the several high schools under direc-
ton of F. T. De Berriz, head of the
Spanish department of Mckinley
High School,
After leaving the Capitol they Wis
tied the new marble temple of the
Supreme Court, again with the group
of local students explaining the ins
and outs of the tour.
The Folger Shakespearean Library
was the third stop on the tour today,
and there they were greeted by the
librarian, who pointed out many of
the rare manuscripts housed in the
collection.
The boys had also planned to visit
the Zoo, but because of luncheon en-
gagements for number of them, the
trip was postponed.

Harrington, but within a few min
visited number of might spots"
