The Sports Front With Smoky By Howard “Smoky” Molden .■a Jtm % As the spotlight swings forth upon the sports world for another week we find such interesting lo cal events as Nebr. U. playing host to Missouri, and Lincoln High entertaining Omaha Tech on the capital city gridiron. Be cause the teams are so closely matched everyone to their own choosing. In other games throughout the nation we find such Negro stars as, Buddy Young and Patterson who helped Illinois defeat Michi gan. Patterson scoring one of the much needed touchdowns. Which proved the margin of victory for Illinois. Fleetfooted Levi Jackson scored two touchdowns as Yale < routed the Coast Guard 47 to 14. We also have such stars as Wal lace Triplett for Penn State and Ernie Parks of Ohio making his tory for themselves in the grid rion. Looking back for a few moments into the baseball season, we find Jackie Robinsons All Stars and Bobby Fellers Major league Stars keeping the dia monds on the West Coast in action. Jackie is a man to keep your eyes on for the future base ball season. PRESSURE ON STARS IN BIG SCHOOLS Throughout the nation this year, Negro stars are holding own in the big white college games. Buddy Young, for in stance, hasn’t been as sensational at Illinois this season as he was in his freshman year. But he’s still a great ball player and a marked man each week. Ball players like Young have a tough time of it. Each week they gallop out on the field with an “X” on their backs. They are the guys the opposition is out there to get; the guys who take all the extra hard bumps and are still expected to come through. Up at Yale, Levi Jack son, a mere freshman, has been nothing short of sensational. He must be a great ball player be cause ever since the firsf practice session in September, Jackson has been designated as “the man to get” in games against Eli. Despite all the pre-season publicity show ered upon him, and despite the fact that every team Yale has met has been gunning for him. Levi Jackson has continued to shine and sparkle. Like Buddy Young, he’s been a marked man. But it hasn’t made much difference. Levi has wowed ’em in every game.
