The Sports Front
With Smoky
In the City League the Urban
League defeated the O’Shea
Rogers by a score of 27 to 15.
Josh Gibson, 35, died of a stroke
at the home of his mother. Gib
son like Babe Ruth was a great
slugger. The greatest part of his
playing years were spent with
the Homestead Greys.
Around the sports world and on
the campus of Illinois, all eyes
are turned to the actions of one
Mr. Buddy Young. According to
numerous reports he has been
offered $125,000 to play for the
New York Yankees. But the
Yankee officials have denied this.
Buddy failed to return to the
Campus after the Christmas holi
days, but Wednesday night he re
turned to the Illinois U Campus
and# was on hand for Thursdays
classes.
There will probably be much
comment on the subject as to
whether Buddy should take this
offer or not. Money is a great
thing and a college education is
also priceless. He will have to
choose between making it now or
waiting a few years and then get
ting it. There is not a more wide
ly favorably publicised Athlete
in the U. S. than Mr. Young from
Illinois. So while he is making up
his mind, maybe he should take a
few things into consideration.
Today there is a great cry
whirling across the continent.
That cry is to clean up sports. I
think we can best sum up this by
saying. A better understanding of
sportsmanship and play the game
for the game regardless of Race,
Color or Creed.

STOP. PERIOD STOP.
Trying to stop on a dime, especi
ally in winter, wrecks the driver
"miser." Coasting past the STOP
is "costing." Let's stop picking
up so many pieces.
