* The Sports Front With Smoky By Howard “Smoky” Molden A strong Trinity 5 dropped the Quinn Chapel cagers by a score of 20-16 in the Church League. £n the City League the N.B.I. Rockets defeated the U. League Cagers 28-13. In a thriller which constantly kept the fans on their feet and all eyes on the score board Lincoln High barely de feated North East by a score of 45 to 44. Thus once again Lincoln High will wear the Crown for another year. Once again old man gossip sweeps across the campus of one of our leading colleges, this time he has Mr. Levi Jackson of Yale in his grip. As you know Jack son was Yale’s leading backfield f ace this season but from rumors he is now flunking in his subjects. Some writers say he has been tft>proached to play professional ball. But about all that can ac tually be said for Mr. Jackson for now is that he has what it takes to play football Buddy's Pay Irked Pros LOS ANGELES—(ANP)—One of those rare occasions upon which white players turned envious eyes upon the scheduled “fat” salary of a Negro player caused the can cellation of an all-star football game here last Sunday. Buddy young ex-Illinois half-back who turned pro for the game, was slat ed to receive $5,000 as his share in the contest. When this news leaked out, some of the other flayers “put the bite on” for more money. This was not forthcom ing. so the game was off. Harry Ball, one of the promo ters of the game, said “the money for the game was put up, the college players were ready, but no satisfactory terms could be worked out with the pro players, so the game was called off.” Joe Louis, also, was reported to be one of the backers of the game. Orders had been taken for sev eral hundred tickets but no money had been collected. Young and his wife were flown out for the game. In commenting on the affair. Buddy said, “I got nothing but expenses for myself and my wife, however, i twas nice * my wife got a chance to see the dfoast.” He denied that he had re ceived any offers while there, al . though it had been reported that the LosAngeles Dons of the All American Conference were readv to sitfn him. V This is My Community Katherine Thompson I have looked forward to the articles in the Voice by the Teen Agers. Some of the forms of recreation suggested by the writers have been very good; however, I have not been con vinced that our youth really want these things. Just the word “party” should mean plenty of wholesome fun and entertainment. Fun can be contagious and certainly those of us who plan the activities want it to be so. The suggestions for outdoor activities were excellent and should be participated in by those who have the equipment. As I have had an opportunity to observe many youth parties. I believe I can list many reasons why some of them have not been as successful as we had hoped they might be. My reasons are as follows: 1. Failure on our part to teach children that ultimate joy comes from unselfish motives, whether I it be a game, a task, or a life’s job. 2. We expect to have an even ing of fun without contributing anything. Pleasure comes from I participation, not just observation, j 3. Most of the parties have too many boys w'ho are not Teen Agers. Many of the things the I girls wrould enjoy are objected to by these boys. 4. Young people have not learned the value of cooperation. 5. Failure to realize the place good manners hold in the life of every individual. 6. Lack of leaders who can direct the group in activities. Somehow I would feel that this comment would not be complete without a w’ord to the parents. I believe parents need to do more things on a cooperative ba sis. From this we would see a different attitude when we give a play; have a picnic: or play a game. Parents should avail themselves of every opportunity to know their children’s friends better. Let your home be their meeting place, not the theatre, the neighbor’s corner, or your friend’s home. Plan evenings of fun with them. Plan special activities with your own family. Take time out to pool your thoughts with other parents to help the young people. We need to help our children to be strong enough to overcome the human weaknesses that will destroy them. Last but not least, we need to teach by precept and example. (Interviewed by Mrs. Alberta J. Cooke) C. H.

THE MAN Lincoln was neither a South erner nor a Northerner. He labored for the good of both sec tions and of both races. He be longed to no section; he belonged to no country; he belonged to the world. He had the moral courage to answer the call of duty as it wras revealed to him in the maze of perplexities wrhich he con fronted. He could not do every thing wrhich appealed to him as desirable because, as an execu tive, he had to depend up>on the lieutenants to carry out policies which they in good faith de nounced as unw’ise. His method w as to advance only so fast as he could carry the majority of the people of the nation with him. He acted always on that higher plane “with malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right.” For this reason he is regarded as the greatest of all Americans, and the South might well, try to claim him as its son. j -n A Worm's Eye View (Continued from page 4) Until such time as mankind can find noble and unselfish mo tives in its collective heart in sufficient quanities to guide and direct the enormous expenditures of resources and energies which are now being used for evil and destructive purposes we worms have no cause to lose sleep or to suffer any nervous breakdowns over who shall inherit the earth.
