American motOrist must take be-
fore ne goes home. The drives are
delightfully."- scenic, the roads are
beautifully paved and these excur-
sions take the motorist from the
Mexican plateau up over interven-
ing mountains and then down into
tropical or semi-tropical valleys
with a wealth of varied views and
panoramas unsurpassed anywhere
In the world.
One fortunate phase of the war
In Europe is that IL compeIs wan
dering Americans to see their
own country. And by "their own
country" your columnist means
not only the United States, but
the other nations of this Western
Hemisphere.
OF course Mexico Is one OF the
easiest OF these nations to reach.
one OF the most comfortable 10
travel In and one which furnishes
i'm it's amazing variety of seem
ery--sights which duplicate the
wonders OF many nations In many
lands.
The mountain climbing OF the
Alps can be duplicated in the
ascent of the great volcanoes,
Popocatepetl. Ixtaccihuatl and
Orizaba.
Orizaba Is particularly difficult
to climb and was first conquered
by a party OF enterprising noun
taineers from the United States I'm
the middle of the nineteenth CEN
fury.
These Americans placed an
American flag on the summit. The
flag was discovered and the feat
OF these ambitious mountaineers
verified and established many
years afterwards.
The ascent of Colima was first
accomplished by Americans also
In 1906 a party of American sci
entists headed by Professor Ru-
dolph Ruedemann of the New
York Geographical Survey mas
tered the mountain.
Up to that time the natives had
considered the ascent of Collma
impossible.
THE sea bathing Of the South
1 Seas can be equalled or sur
passed at Acapulco and at Guy
otlan on the west coast. Cuyotlan
Il even better bathing resort
than Acapulco, but the accommo-
dations are not so excellent.
On the east coast there arr
beautiful bathing beaches near
Jalapa and Vera Cruz with all the
tropical surroundings and embel-
ashments of palms and orchids.
Again the road from Orizaba
TO Peubla ascends q mountain pass
which Is almost the replica OF the
Steivio Pass between Italy and
Austria, except that the panorama
from the Mexican road IL far more
beautiful than from the Stelvio or
Stufserjoch.
In fact II you travel In Mexico
Won can see your own western
country and practically travel In
Europe at the same time, except
that the scenery in Mexico Is the
finer by far than anything to he
found In Europe.
For that you can take your coli

But that word Is substantiated BY

Important Net
Clashes Slated
During Weekend

Weather permitting. two import
ant valley tennis events will be run
off this weekend, one for the valley
high school tennis championship,
the other to crown the valley cham
pion doubles teams.
Calexico and FL Centre high
schools are scheduled TO tangle Sat-
urday on the FL Centro courts in a
match which may determine the
loop titlistS and which has already
taxed the strategy boards of both
institutions.
The lineup is the important thing
in the outcome of the Calexico-El
Centro match and neither coach
has announced whether he will
concentrate strength in singles or
in doubles.
The outstanding doubles teams III

There is sufficient interest in

The Reason


This article might at first be
interpreted as defense for the
POOR showing Of baseball teams al
Ell Centre high school, but actually
there Is o more selfish motive. II
proves that the b.w. has at least
one reader.
A day or so ago we ventured a
prediction on the outcome of the
valley league baseball race in which
II was hinted that El Centre high
schools nine was in the pennant
race for the exercise.
Along about 7 pm. Wednesday a
phone caller (the reader we refer
red to) demanded to know Just why
Calexico annually dominates base
ball and why El Centro annually
fails TO produce a winning ball
cub. e. Centre has q much larger
student body. the caller pointed
out. and q better ball park in which
10 practice
There are many reasons for Ca
lexicos domination and FL Centro's
annual weakness in baseball but
the principal difference lies in the
fact that Calexico concentrates on
baseball during the spring months,
Fl Centre does not.
At CaleXico high the best ath-
letes in the school go out for base
ball, practice two hours daily. sche-
dule many practice games and re-
ceive the unparalleled baseball
coaching as taught by Ed Coving-
ton.
In El Centre the best athletes
are sent out for track and the
fellows who are not interested in
track or football are left over TO
make up the baseball team More
than $50 El Centre high athletes
are competing for positions on the |
track team. there are perhaps 20 |
out for the baseball team.
The reason for the large number |
of track aspirants at El Centro is |
that Head Coach Raleigh Holt Is |
interested primarily in track and |
football. He insists that all under
classmen who are going TO report |
for football practice in the fall
report for track in the spring. Holt
contends that track training will
lIlSitdSt lIlS SDctQ Ol 444S Il6Il dllO J
build toward faster football teams
Covington, on the other hand. is
primarily interested in baseball as
a spring sport and further believes
that baseball offers a better train
ing for future football players than
track.
Baseball, the CaleXico mentor
points out, trains athletes to think
and act quickly when the occasion
arises. it improves body coordination.
and is just as adequate for increas-
ing the speed of football players
to-be. !
