' LEGION CONVENTION TO BE GREATEST EVER San Antonio to Be Scene of Great Demonstration When Vets Gather in October The national convention of the American Legion and its Auxiliary, to be held in San Antonio, Texas, Oc- tober 8 to 12, will surpass in wealth of entertainment, in interest and in notable events the great convention held by the organization in Paris last year, according to National Adjutant James F. Barton. Barton, in San Antonio to check over plans for the convention, ex- pressed himself as especially well pleased with the convention entertain- ment program. Entertainment features include a world's championship rodeo with the biggest prize money of the year and the leading cowboy and cowgirl con- tenders, a decision prize fight at Fort Sam Houston with two principal con- tenders for the world's welterweight title, spectacular battle exercises by the Second Division, using tanks, air- planes, liquid fire and all the latest methods of warfare, the greatest air circus ever staged in America. Other entertainment specialties will be a Broadway show, a Mexican revue with the best actors, singers and danc- ers from the City of Mexico, the famous City of Mexico Police band. More than 100 Legion bands and drum corps from all parts of the United States are expected to be in attendance at the convention, accord- ing to Philip B. Stapp, general con- vention director. Distinguished visi- tors from abroad and leaders in many fields of American life will be present. To the convention parade, always a spectacular affair with its thousands of marching men and women, the en- tire day of Tuesday, October 9, will be devoted, Mr. Barton decided. The marching columns will be reviewed on historic Alamo Plaza, where stands the Alamo, cradle of Texas liberty. In addition to the convention enter- tainment planned at San Antonio, side trips will be conducted to various points on the border. One will cover Corpus Christi and the principal towns of the Magic Valley of the Lower Rio Grande, ending up with a Spanish celebration at Matamoros. Others will go to Nuovo Laredo and Piedras Negras, where bull fights will he staced and a Spanish fiesta held. Elaborate preparations are being made for these. Rut Walter Destined as Northwestern Track Star Rut Walter of Kokomo, Ind., who played a stellar game of basketball at Northwestern this year, seems des- tined to continue his athletic activities in still greater style as a member of the track team. He is running the quarter, 220 and 100 yard distances, and, from the showing he is already making, should be one of the out- standing quarter milers in the con- ference this season. His first outdoor appearance will be at the Kansas Relays April 21. Coach Hill will also enter a number of other star performers in this meet including Bill Droegmueller, pole vaulter, Linar Hermansen, sprinter, and Paul Gorby, half miler. Al Bagge, Doc Achers and Frank Sinkler will handle the shotput in the outdoor meets, while Justin Dart and Henry Anderson will toss the hammer. SPEAKS AT MINNEAPOLIS Miss Clarissa Bell of the English department of New Trier High school is invited to speak before the National Council of English Teachers at the National Education association meet- ing in July at Minneapolis.
