Mexico City Halls Grid Game
To Be Played in Washington
Announcement Has Done More to Stir
Popular Interest Than Any
Other Thing.

ment of Robert P. Martin as coach
of the all-star team composed Of
picked players from the technical
schools.
Martin Has Advantages.
Though Martin is not so well
known on the other side Of the border
as the famous Dixie. he has a GER
tain advantage in his choice Of foot
ball material. The boys of the tech
nical schools are younger and more
malleable. They are stronger and
tougher than the Mexican University
men. because the technical schools
which they attend develop Drawn by
combining industrial labor and train
ing along with the regular high school
curriculum. They have a tendency,
however, not to realize their own pow
er. partly because they have never
tested it against crack United States
team Of like age and weight.
Martin was the first person to
convince them, as well as educational
and administrative officials, that the
boys were good enough to be allowed
to 60 to Washington at the invita-
ton of The Washington Star, and to
demonstrate their prowess before a
packed stadium of critical American
spectators. He has been organizer,
coach and Dutch uncle to the boys,
drilling them with precision and
strictness that Is new to some of the
foot ball players in our technical
schools. If they don't win that game,
it won't be Mr.. Martins fault!
On Championship Team.
Martin himself was trained to the
discipline Of the United States Army
Air Corps, and played as quarterback
on team which won the champion
ship of the Army. In spite of his
somewhat slight physique. he has bat
tied gobs and leathernecks, and has
suffered some pain in the noble cause
of foot ball. The game 10 years ago
was very much rougher thing than
it Is today. Martins own career as
a player was cut short by an acci-
dent. when. playing under the old
rough-and-tumble rules, five oppo-
nents tackled him with excessive vigor
and sent him to the hospital for four
months. Needless to say, he is today
a strong believer in the clean-cut,
modern type of play, and his abiding
motto is "a clean game above ALL"

special Dispatch to The Star.

Special DlSpdlCi W HC OtdTs
MEXICO CITY, November Am
nouncement here today that an in
ternational all-star high school foot
ball game will be played in Wash
ington on the afternoon of Novem-
ber 90 was received with wide ac-
claim throughout the city and has
done more to stir popular interest
and enthusiasm in the sport down
here than anything ever has done.
Soccer fans, who prior to today
scarcely realized that any other type
of foot ball existed, are turning in
greater numbers to the American
game.
The government is encouraging this
newly awakened enthusiasm with all
the resources at its command. A few
weeks ago, when the University of
Mexico team was playing Lamar Col
lege, an army plane was sent from
Mexico City to Nogales. AriZ., to Sc
cure an impartial referee for the
event. AS one reason for their sup

discipline among young people to a
greater extent than any other sport.
Game Becoming Popular,
Until a few years ago soccer was
the only form of foot ball known In
Mexico. American foot ball is of COM
paratively recent vintage here and is
only beginning to take the outstand-
ing place which it holds in United
States amateur sporting events. 1t
has been played for about four years
in the high schools of Mexico City,
at the University Of Mexico and at
the Military College, but only this
year has really begun to take in a
big way. One drawback has been the
even climate in Mexico, which allows
foot ball to be played all year around.
AS a result, no regular season has
even now been fixed for foot ball or
any other sport, with the result that
no one sport received sufficiently con-
centrated attention at any one time.
The first boost this year for the
game was the engagement Of Dixie

and leader of the Crimson Tide in
its sensational battle for the United
States championship. as foot ball
coach at the University of Mexico.

J0HNSON'S STAND
Nicholson, Publicity Head
of Democrats, Compares
His Statements. .
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson's recent
structures of the administration
brought Democratic National Commit
tee comment yesterday from Charles
Nicholson, publicity director.
After quoting from past johnson
opinions. Nicholson congratulated him
ION the happy coincidence of his
present-day opinions with the (Satur-
day Evening PosD magazines desire
for such material"
Nicholson also noted that although
the Republican National Committee
publicized portions of Johnson's ar
ticle, it failed to note that Johnson
still is supporting President Roosevelt
as the single effective exponent of the
policy of do-something as against all
the eXponents of the policy of do
nothing"
Theme Song of the G. o. p.
"Just now" wrote Nicholson, 1.-The
theme song of the Republicans-gen-
uine or Sympathetic-iS that President
Roosevelt went back on his pledge on
the money question.
Because he subscribed to the doc
trine of a sound currency, and later
on took us off the gold standard, and
changed the gold content Of the dollar,
he is accused of faithlessness and in
consistency.
The incident that the American
dollar is the soundest unit and the
most stable of value in the world today
and that our Government bonds the
above par is ignored. Even my old
campaign colleague. and later chief in
the N. r. A., Gen. Hugh johnson,
records. more in sorrow than in anger,
that the otherwise perfect N. r. A.
was wrecked by the fiscal heresy and
the currency -tinkering experiment.
Recalls Earlier Statements.
''Now, am the last person in the
world who would charge our lovable
volcano with insincerity, but an in
convenient memory sends me back a
little over a year."
Thereupon, he quoted johnson as
having said 1.-The charged debasement
of the currency is joke. The
Roosevelt dollar will remain the best
money as long as he sits in that chair
Citing the present Johnson denun-
citation of "brain-trusters," Nicholson
proceeded to quote from another 1884
speech of the general: Whatever
brain trust Franklin Roosevelt main
tains is going to be a trust of the best
brains of cross segment of the whole
United States. There is a brain
trust in Washington all right, but the
brain is that of Franklin Roosevelt"
