HOWARD UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL FOR 1920 WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 29.— The opening of Howard University this fall will mark a new epoch in the history of football at the big Negro Colleges of this counf^v. Con sistent with the new Howard, her new policies of extension and devel opment, her far-sighted administra tors, and the mighty influx of a larger and more cosmopolitan stu dent body, the prestige of the Uni versity in football will be felt in the remotest sections of the country. Pressed on all sides by the zealous ri valry of crafty Lincoln, the grim determination of industrious Hamp ton. and other opponents that must be met on the gridiron, supported by the unbroken spirit of a loyal stu dent body, Alumni and friends, more than ever Howard University is de termined to produce this year the strongest and fastest team possible. Serious attention is directed to every detail in the theory' and playing of the game with the view of devising an invincible coaching system and maintaining the records of former years. Howard Always a ‘Terror” Hitherto by prestige and merit, Howard has been the terror of all ranking collegiate football squads. Herself the gathering point of the largest university group of Negro students in the world,—men of all types and talents, athletes both by natural ability and practice, she has i produced teams that played with the! understanding that victory was their the opposing team from scoring, inherent right, and that the only object of the game was to prevent j During these days of giant players j and lightning plays, in spite of the ■ unfailing toe of Collins of Lincoln, and the mighty' blows of Bender of Hampton, Howard displayed a super iority that was based upon the dis cipline of an airtight coaching system and the spirited support of the stu- I dent hosts. The 1920-21 season will j open under a new coach, one who ha played “big league” football, and is competent of training a “big league” team. Considerable thought and study have been given problems. Re ports indicate that the program of training is to be more vigorous than ever. Even before registration is over, something new in football for Howard, practice will begin and al ready all old players and all pros pects have been notified. Arrange ments have been made to equip these men immediately and present them • for practice without delay. Lincoln and Howard to Clash. Thanksgiving Day, at the American League park in Washington, Lincoln and Howard will clash. It is definite ly known that with Lincoln this will be a supreme effort for victory. Under the training of Pollard, this team can boast of one of the most clever coaches of the country. This is the surest guaranty of a thrilling contest. In such contests as these, confidence plus the enthusiasm of those for whom the battle is fought will be almost a deciding factor. Both teams will be so well coached xthat the tricks and plays of the game ] will come automatically. The spirit of j the greatest university will decide the j day. Last year the National League park i at Philadelphia was filled to its ut- j most capacity by representative Col- j ored Citizens, graduates and adher . ents as well as students of the two far-famed educational institutions Lincoln and Howard Universities. Enthusiasm is already at fever heat for the game this year between the same two institutions. The reserva tion of boxes and grand stand seats is already proceeding at a very lively rate. Reservations have been re ceived from Pittsburgh, Boston, Phil adelphia, Atlanta and Norfolk, there by assuring the. advance sale of the full capacity of the American League park, Washington, D. C., which has been secured for the Thanksgiving game between the same school this year. It is the plali to reserve box seats at $2.00 each and grand stand seats at $1.60. The general admission to the pavillions will be $1.00. All reservations for tickets should be ac companied by Post Office money order, Secretary-Treasurer, Howard University. REGISTERING WOMEN VOTERS; LOCAL RESENTMENT SHOWN (By Associated Negro Press.) BALTIMORE, Md., Sept. 30.— Plans are being made by leaders to register the women in large numbers. An appeal has been issued to colored women from the Rev. S. R Hughes, Advisory Association, to register early. The appeal shows the resentment here against the Republican organiz ation, for after advising the women *o register early and vote between 1 and 2 o’clock on election day for Sen ator Harding, the Republican candi date for president, and Governor Coolidge, for vice president, it signif icantly says: "Vote for Harding ann Coolidge only.” GIVING AWAY VASTWEALTH English Millionaire Socialist Prac tices What He Preaches. LIVES IN A MODEST HOME George L. Moore Determined That All His Wealth Should Be Spent "White He Was Still Above Ground”—With a Yearly Income Estimated at $5, 000,000 He Has No Other Pleasure Outside Home, Garden and Library. In the life story of George L. Moore, Of London whose gift of $750,000 for a recreation ground to be known as Vic tory park. In memory of the triumph of the allies, the latest of many gen erous gifts by him. Is seen an ex ample of an Immensely wealthy Ideal ist who has devoted nearly every cent of bis millions to the welfare of bis fellow men. For himself and his wife he retains of all his possessions Just sufficient to provide a modest villa at Forest Hill, one of those suburbs dear to the heart of the bank clerk, the whole sale dry goods salesman, the middle man. His allowance for personal ex penses—if we except his splendid li brary of 5,000 hooks—Is little more than that of the average well-paid me chanic of today. In pursuance of his purpose he employs no servants, the work of the ten-room house being done by Mrs. Moore, who Is In fall ayropathy with her husband. Speak of Mr. Moore to any of his business associates In any of the 250 corporations with which he Is con nected and they will tell you that he possesses the Midas touch. But, un like the Phrygian king, he does not bathe In a stream of gold. Above all. Mr. Moore Is happily free of the ob jectionable characteristics which dis tinguish the average self-made man. his training and tastes being those of the student and scholar. From Lawyer to Speculator. Bom at Liraavady, County Derry, , Ireland, he was graduated B. A. at | the Queens university, ranking first of his year In mathematics. Taking up the profession of law, he for 20 years practiced In Belfast, and It was there, as the legal representative of various corporations, that he entered apon speculations In oil. With the first frqlts of his success he began to make liberal gifts to the towD and county In which he was bom. Then he shifted his headquar ters to London, where he gradually developed Into one of the largest oil operators In the world. With a yearly Income estimated at $5,000,000, he has no pleasures outside of his home, his garden and his li brary. His favorite authors are Ho mer, Virgil and Voltaire. In his col lection are to be found several rare first editions of printed works and scripts. "Books are my only extravagance," he said to an Interviewer. "In all the years of a busy life I have never got over my love of Greek, Latin and French—the French of Voltaire. In summer I get up Rbout three o’clock and fmm then nntll eight, when I go to the city, I am with my books. Hopes to Get Rid of It All. “When I began to get away from the routine of law practice and make real money I determined that all my wealth should be spent while I was still above ground. I have always be lieved that God sends us wealth In order that we may aid those who have not been so fortunate, or who are not blessed, or cursed, with the Instinct of money-getting. I have a great deal more than I can ever use—more than anyone could ever need, and Instead of hogging money to my heart and waiting until mv death to give It away, I purpose to see men, women and chil dren aronnd me—above all, the chil dren—sharing my fortune before 1 am called. I hope to have devoted every penny I possess to a good purpose. In pursuance of my plan, I employ no secretaries. All my correspondence, averaging 20 to 30 letters a day. Is bandied by myself and a stenographer. "Perhaps I hope to teach a lesson to others—the rich people, who spend their lives in pampered luxury and self-indulgence, and who are a curse to humanity. To their evil example we owe the growth of the holshevist spirit among the workers, as distin guished from the true socialism of which I am a follower. To the Idle rich we owe the gradual growth of the spirit and the system under which a bricklayer able to lay a thousand bricks a day lays only a hundred. I am anxious to see fair play for all, employer and employed, and hope to do all I can to assist my fellows.” Pacific's Biggest _og. A piece from what loggers declare la the largest log ever cut In the Pa cific Northwest has been on display In Portland. Ore.. The log, which la 12 feet 6 Inches in diameter at the butt. Is 28 feet long and weighs 48 tons. It was cut near Montesano on Grays Harbor. The largest crosscut saw manufac tured was too short to cut the monster stick of lumber. The log would fur nish lumber for several houses. The Lack. "After all, the children are the cream of Immunity.” “They would be all the better for It ft they were oftenar whipped cieam." | “NO NEGRO NEED APPLY” (Wilmington, Del.,—Every Evening.) Quoting the opinion of Attorney General Reinhardt, that “suffrage would carry citizenship, and citizen ship would carry the right to take bar examinations,” the Advocate, a newspap r devoted to the interests of the Colored people of Delaware says: “Even in Mississippi, Georgia, Texas and Louisiana the colored man may practice law. It remained for Dela ware to stipulate that the law is a I gentleman’s profession, and therefore ' one for which no Negro could qualify,’ to quote an eminent jcrist." From At torney General Reinhardt’s declara tion it draws the hope that the Negro I “can look forward to the day when ; the stigma on the name Delaware concerning the legal profession will lie removed.” But it is deceiving itself. The dis criminating prejudice is as strong as ever in the bar of Delaware, largely Republican in its makeup. The ques tion may be juggled with until after the election, and then the door will l>e found to be closed as tightly as ever to the Negro law’yer applicant. Discrimination against Negroes is a cardinal principle among' Republi cans in Delaware. Young Negroes are not eligible to membership in the Harding First Voters’ Club, or to any other white Republican organization. i MAGIC HAIR GROWER j AND STRAIGHTENING OIL I I I i ■ I— ■ -1 V I I 3 i | I MME.

REGISTER! ——B———aO————————UMWTTh’TWO—— Colored Republicans! MEN AND WOMEN i IN the approaching brown October days the slogan is to Register in states and cities where the regis tration law prevails. A voter who doesn’t Register is like a 14-inch gun without ammunition. Get Your Name on the Books the First Registration Days IF YOU HESITATE YOUR VOTE IS LOST. In order that you may vote for Harding and Coolidge and against Cox and disfranchisement, you must Register, and by so doing you draw first blood from your ancient political enemy, the Democratic Party. Be a Good Samaritan IF your neighbor has forgotten the importance of Registration, remind him of it. If your neighbor has journeyed from the South, seeking freedom, education and opportunity, tell him to Register so he can obtain these benefits by voting for Harding and Coolidge.
