Star half back Gene Derricotte headed a six-man contingent from the na tional champion Michigan Wol verines who joined the college all i stars squad last week. They will play in the 16th annual game at Soldiers’ field Aug. 12 against the National league football champion Philadelphia Eagles. Derricotte becomes the second ! Negro to join 'the squad. George ' Taliaferro of Indiana became a ! member two weeks ago. Derricotte will play pro ball for the cham pion Cleveland Browns of the All America conference. The Michigan flash first starred with Michigan in 1944 as a fresh man. The next two years he was in the army. Late in 1946 he re turned to the squad. In 1947 he was star defensive back in the Michigan two platoon system. Last year he was dogged by an early season injury which kept him from reaching the all Amer PIANOS RADIOS SEWING MACHINES WASHERS SWEEPERS i Gourlay Bros.

How David Obtained Forgive ness. David’s sins did not trouble him at first. They did not cause him to lose appetite nor sleep, and he did not cease to enjoy life. But when Nathan told him that parable about the pet lamb, he saw in a flash how mean and cowardly, treacherous and wicked he had been. And there was no more rest for him till his sin was forgiven. That is always the first step towards forgiveness. Until we realize our sin we shall not want forgiveness. Sometimes people live long like David without realizing their guilt. But in some way God brings the sin home. The next step was by contri tion. When you do see your sin you may act in various ways. You may grow angry about it. You may excuse it, say it could not be helped. You may say it is past and done with, and try to forget it. You may get depressed and- despairing about it—like Judas. You may feel sorrow for it—like David. David’s heart was filled with bitter 'grief. And this is the next step to forgive ness. Forgiveness can’t be had by just saying slightly, “Well, I’m sorry.” The sorrow must be as real as the sin, and it must be sorrow not over being found out or over the prospect of punish ment but for the sin itself. Then there cames confession. David was always honest and outspoken. “I have sinned,” he* said. There was no beating about the bush, no attempt to excuse himself. He confessed his sin at once—to his own heart, to the stern yet gentle Nathan, and to God. He prayed for pardon. “Have mercy upon me, O God,” he cried. What happened when David confessed? Instantly Nathan an swered, “Thy sin is forgiven.” He did not put David on his good behavior, saying that if he be haved well for three or six months he would be forgiven. That is not God’s way. For giveness promptly followed con fession. David did not escape punishment. “The sword was to be a trouble in his house for ever,” but he was forgiven. ican heights predicted for him by sports writers. Derricotte is 23 years old, 5 feet, 11 inches tall, and weighs 180 pounds. While at Michigan the great halfback maintained a high scholastic average. He is equally good at p'assing, kicking, or running on offense but par ticularly good on pass defense. | CLEANING and SANITATION •SUPPLIES All Types Brooms—Furniture Polishes Mops—Floor Seal and Wax Sweeping Compounds Mopping Equipment Kelso Chemical 117 North 9th St. 2-2434 WALLY'S USED CARS Please stop and look over our fine selection of Used Cars Sore to Hml a good place to pork.

TALLAHASSEE. (ANP). Denied an opportunity to defend himself openly against informal charges filed against him to the board of control of state colleges, Dr. William H. Gray, president of Florida State college, resigned last week and has left Tallahassee. He was spirited away by friends to an undisclosed resting place because of continuing threats by presumed Klan forces who were active in demanding his dismissal. Notes received prior to his leaving pointed out that his wife and two children would not be safe. No official staiement regard ing President Gray’s resignation has been forthcoming. Gov. Warren has refused to make a statement. The Florida governor who got married two weeks ago and sold his fin-tailed Cadillac car to finance his honeymoon, sat in the six-hour secret session which the white board of con trol held before agreeing to ac cept the Gray resignation which had been solicited by a “mutual friend” or Gray and the gover nor. Florida thus follows Mississippi in railroading out of office a young and highly qualified president of its land grant col lege who refused to agree to go along with the announced pro gram of segregation in his state. The cases are almost identical. Two months ago Dr. W. H. Pipes, president of Alcorn college in Mississippi, was requested to resign because he had refused to go along with the publicly an nounced program of Gov. Field ing Wright of Mississippi who said in appointing a committee to study Negro education that any member who did not endorse his segregation program could not serve. Dr. Pipes was a member of the committee. Both Gray and Pipes are Ph.D’s in their fields, the former in education and the latter, Eng lish. Dr. Gray graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. Eh*. Pipes finished the University of Michigan. Both on being elected president of their schools began a program of reorganiza tion and building. Each secured accreditation for his college which it had not had previously. Each launched an extensive building program which the legislatures backed because of the fear which has been existing that unless some sort of equaliza tion in facilities was developed Negroes might force their way into white colleges under the U. S. Supreme court edict. I «» PEAK of QUALITY Hand Crafts SUPPLIES 211 North 12th gt. [ 2-44*8 Even further similarities exist ed. As is usual in southern states Dr. Gray in Florida and Dr. Pipes in Mississippi had a good white “friend” on their respec tive boards who was also a close friend of the governor. It was through this medium that they were best able to get over their requests which in normal proce dure a president would be able to talk out face to face either with the governor or state au thorities. It was this “friend” in both instances who went to the Negro college president and insisted that he resign. These friends whispered dire forebod ings of what would happen to the college presidents if they did not. Under this duress and the rumors which were flying about, both men wrote letters of resignation. Once the letters of resignation were in the board’s hands it could function at will.
