My Year In Japan
By Clifton Greene
We thought there wouldn’t be
much entertainment besides sight
seeing in Japan. We did see one
very memorable sight. It was
| one of the places where an atomic
bomb had been dropped. A great
gaping hole, hard to describe but
it made me feel awful inside to
look at it. However, there was
plenty of entertainment, movies,
clubs and house parties. You
could keep going forever, I think.
Japanese house parties are nice
friendly affairs. We sit in a cir
cle on the floor and play Japan
ese games, usually with cards,
every one takes part and we all
•have a whopping good time.
The clubs are strictly up to
date. The Japanese orchestras
play all the latest American
swing music, and they can play
it too.
The girls are real jitterbugs,
they know all the steps. Even
ings spent in these places were
great. I felt as though I was back
home in the good old U.S.A. until
I stepped outside and a 20° below
zero breeze hit me, then I knew
I was still in Japan. The weather
there is either extremely cold or
„»xtremely hot. 15 to 20 bejpw in
the winter and 110 to 120 in the
summer. I was really glad to get
back to the U.S.A. and this good
old Nebraska climate.

friends we have are members of

The Negro has come to the
point where the “crawling” stage
is no longer adequate. We have
to get up and walk and before
we know it, we’U be running.
When we get to that running
stage, this old world will almost
have forgotten that there was
ever more than one race. What
is it you want to accomplish in
this world? You can’t get it sit

accomplish something, go after

big way.

Three All-America Stars
Washington—During the past
29 years, according to the Colliers
Magazine, Sporting News, Assoc
iated Press and United Press, on
ly three colored men have rated
All-America honors since Paul
Robeson was picked by Walter
Camp in 1918. Moreover, the All
America Board and International
News Service have never seen
one colored player who rated the
honor, in any year.
Brud Holland rated both AP
and the Sporting News, in 1938.
Julius Franks, Michigan, rated
Grant Rice’s Collier’s eleven in
1942, and Bill Willis of Ohio St.
rated both UP and Sporting News
teams in 1944. Such as Buddy
Young, Marion Motley, Ozzie
Simmons, Kenny Washington and
Duke Slater, Bill Bell and Levi
Jackson have never been good
enough. During 1944, 1945, and
1946, the over-balleyhooed Glenn
Davis was rated far ahead oi
Young—an unbelievable fact in
these days, at long last, when il
is obvious that Davis never was
in Young’s class or that Felix
Blanchard is less than a fair ex
change for Marion Motley. All
Americans who cannot stand ou1
against pro competition, were
never All-Americans in the firsl
place. What a price we must pa>
for bias, in this land!
Probably the most talked about
man around the sports world to
day is the man who has played
a great game at first base for the
Dodgers. He is none other than
Jackie Robinson. Jackie was
named Rookie of the Year by the
St. Louis Sporting News, weekly
baseball publication regarded as
baseball’s Bible. I myself whc
know some of the many obstacles
Jackie has had to overcome know
that he has been a credit to all
ball players regardless of race oi
color. Regardless of these ob
stacles he has kept his head and
price of it has paid off. Jackie
had his first tryout with the Bos
ton Red Sox. But although they
were impressed they refused tc
sign him because of the long-esta
blished barrier against Negrc
players. The Courier then re
commended him to Branch Ric
key and he was then signed tc
the Dodgers. He played the 1946
season for Montreal and last
spring made his bid for a spot
with the Dodgers. Now big Lea
gue managers are predicting hirr
to be the best first baseman ol
the circuit next season.
In the boxing world we find
Champion Joe Louis preparing
for the Nov. 14 fight with Jersey
Joe Walcutt.
