Wilson All-Stars And Globe Trotters Win Second Contests; Go Into Tie For First Place *'2K>T7TTi By EDWARD LANE SPORTS WRITER COMPLAINTS OF MART THOMAS ALL UNTRUE NEW CHANGES IN THE SHAPE OF FOOTBALL The accusation made by prominent Omahans, or Mart Thomas are entirely unjust. It is reported that Mart has be n showing racial favoritism in the gym at the Mid City Cener, but this is not true, as shown by tlje great suc cess mat the C enter has been. Mart Thomas says “I will not be intimidated by any person who have no authority to complain or kick and they will be met the same method that I always apply to such people.” I have used the same methods in handlings my boys many times and it has troved a success. I will al ways be open for sugestions if they are the right kind. It seems as though football has done its part to keep up with the new features of streamlining. The shape of the ball has been changed so that it is less like the shape of an egg and more like a modern torpedo and can be thrown through the air aat great speed and accuracy. The new ball according to announcement of W L Langford, secretary of the rules committee, will have a circumfei’ence at the short axis of not less than 211-4 in ches nor more than 2-12 inches, as compared with the old ball that had a minimum measurement of 22 inches and a maximum of 221-2 inches. In other words the new 1934 ball will be sailer anywrhere from three-quarters to a full inch. I believe this will cause the punt chasers to do more dodging of punts than ever before. They have been dodg ing quite a bit in the last few years. The ball will not have the same bounce. The quarter can only hope and pray when the ball hits the ground. It will also bring out the‘punting qualities of the best kickers, because it wll produce lots mors more distance and require more con trol. We can only hope tor the best t oturn out m me 1001 ball world. If they keep on doctoring the game, it won’t be long before old time thrills will be gone from the game. • Coach Lou Little, of Columbia, sajyts that the ball will bring four major results. He says, “first, it will be a nar , rower ball and will militate against accuracy in drop and place kicking. Second, it will punt further, especially against the wind but its lightness and narrowness will place an unusual strain on accuracy. Third, of course it will be much easier to pass and it will be thrown straight and further. Fourth a punter will be able to kick further with it on wet days. <**._. ** . — CLAIMS JAPS ARE HATED FOR GOOD REASONS — ORIENTALS ARE NOT WHITE —._ * Chicago, March 30.—Edwin R. Em bree president of the Julius Rosen wald Fund, says Americans who hate the Japanese call them "bad names ’’ In a course of lectures at Fisk uni versity on the Peoples of the Pacific Mr. Embree discussed the races of the South seas, Australia the East Indies, China and Japan. “All of the Peoples of the Pacific," Ae said, "have been subjugated by the white nations of the west with the single exception of Japan.. As a vosult, America and Europe are friendly though patronising to the Polynesians, the Malays and the Chi nese. But they resent bitterly the independence of Japan . { As a matter of fact the Japanese are the moat capable and in many ways the mast attractive people of the whole area. The Japanese land space is the most beautiful in the World. The Japanese themselves are courteous, talented and amazingly resourceful. Japan has a civilization which by any standard is among the highest of all world history. China may have been greater in the remote 'past, but Japan has today a living active culture which puts her at the head of the whole Pacific region. Her art and architecture and landscape gardening as well as her modern in dustry and science, are equal to the best anywhere. “Why then is there so much pre judice against Japan in America? Why are our newspapers full of cri ticism and abuse? Why are propa gsfcdists crying for war against her? “The answers are simple. First, ] we want the markets of the Far East and we fear Japan as a rival in trade Second, and more deep rooted we re sent the fact that any colored na tion should pretend to be equal to the real white nations of the west.. “All over the Pacific the white man goes as lord and master. England has seized and colonized Australia and New Zealand. America has an nexed Hawaii, rules the Philippines, and in cooperation with European powers controls all the South Seas. Holland owns the great Malay archi peligo—the East Indies—an empire of sixty million people. The western powers have long held China in a po sition of dependence. She has beaten western nations at their own game. She has armed herself as effectively as America or the British Empire She has introduced factories and world trade so successfully that she is steadily seizing the markets of the whole far East. She is now outdoing the west even in imperialism. At a time when America is giving up the Philippines, when England is being foraed to every compromise in order to hold India, when Holland is being asked to leave the East Indies—at just this time Japan is spreading her empire to Formosa, Korea and Man churia.. “Furthermore, while the white man may do almost anything he pleases as he travels over the South Seas and China, he has to behave himself in Japan. The Japanese are courteous but full of self-respect and pride. They will not allow anyone to insult them or bully them in their own coun try. l “The white man naturally thinks of most of the Pacific peoples as very good ‘niggers’ because they bow be fore him and do whatever he says. But the upstanding, self-reliant Jan anese he calls ‘bad niggers-’ America resents so greatly the independence of this colored nation that many in fluential people ard trying to foment a war so that we may humble ohr only rival in the Pacific area, our only I colored rival in the whole wide I world.” SWASTIKA GOLF CLUB_ELECTS At a meeting Thursday night, at the Mid-City Community Center, the Swa stika Golf Club held its anual election of officers and mapped its program for the insuing yean The members elected to offices were President J. D. Crawford, vice presi dent, Harvey Avant, secretary Sayb ert Hanger. Treasurer, Earl Wheeler, Correspondence secetary Lawerence Marshal, and reporter John Adams Jr. Arrangements for a stag to be given on April 15th for the prospective me mbers. » SHERMAN LEADS TEAM TO EASY VICTORY Lewis; Wilson Guard; Absent After much discussion the J. C. C. sent their basket heavers up to the Mid-City Center to show their abili ty to the Wilson All-Stars. This they failed to do; the Wilsons win j ning by the tremendous score of 98 to 16 The combination of Wolfe, Sher man and Saylan, for the Wilsons was too fast and smooth for the J. C. C. In the first half, using a fast break ing attack from the corners these three players alone scored 35 points between them to nine for the entire J. C. T. team. One of the most outstanding things in the defeat of the J. C. C. was that their players were large and experienced and the Mid City team were a bunch of first year men Mart again showed his ability as a coach by turning out a team that has lost very few games in the great number that they have played. Sherman, a guard played the best game of the season, scoring 41 points I for the winners, Wolfe and Saylan each scoring 24 and 23 points respec tively. i WILSON ALL-STARS—98 Player.

Those who blame present plight of railroads on wasteful operating me thods would do well to ponder this fact: In 1929 the rails handled the heaviest freight in their history. If the unit cost of operation had been the same in 1929 as in 1920, it would have cost the lines $1,212,899,000 more to handle the 1929 traffic than it actually cost The railroads owe the public a definite duty. They must provide the safest, most adequate and most ef ficient transportation possible. They must sell the service at the most reasonable cost consistent with a reasonable return on the capital in vested in their facilities^ The rail roads hav discharged that duty with absolute scrupulousness. They have broadened and bettered servce—they have increased freight and passenger train speeds—they have lowered rates—they have reduced accidents almost to the point of existence— they have and are carrying n exten sive research designed t provide still greater progess in these fields. In return, the public owes the rail roads an even break in competing with other carriers—fair to all, dic crimination against none.. Instead of that we have permitted other types of carriers to operate with little or no regulation, granted them heavy subsidies and taxed them proportion ately less. , Fairness instead of favoritism means more jobs, more purchasing power and a sounder transportation system- It means a long steep to wad economic recovery. Manager of Dining Room L. A. M.—I have been wonderful ly helped by your advice and am com ing again. I am tired of women giving me raw deals, what must I do to get even without causing any hereafter? Ans: Be careful Lee. Just as long as you live you will be one of the FORTUNATE GIRLS that wom en feel ENVIOUS of, and for that reason they will continually try to make trouble for you and your boy friends. No one can put you out very much, so take it on the chin for you will win out when the game is over. 4 7 uxedoes have Eye On Softball Crown\ Manager Clyde Frampton’s Tuxe do kittenballers could win the Cook championship with their veteran team last year. Now, Collins Lee, the walloping outfielder and a couple of last years’ junior players that are on hand, the Tuxedoes expect to be right in the center of all pennant tussles again this year. With a hurler like Cook, who chucks them from the right side, and hacking him up with a classy infield made up of Grayson, thirdbase, Bol den shortstop, R. Smith second base figures that everything should click figu that everything should click fairly well. The outfield, for one thing really looks better than the average with Lee, Harvey, and probably Hunter. A1 are good fly hawks and they are capable of giving the old apple a ride anytime. With the prospects looking very bright, and if everything breaks right the Tuxedoes should do better than they did last year- And that would be something.

Kemp at third base is the slugger of the team. Holloway, captain and manager, di rects the team from behind the bat, with Wade handling the hurling chores.

There will be no golf on Elmwood Park links before July 1, since con struction of the new lay-out has en tailed almost complete demolition of the former course. Park commis sioner Frank Frost has a full crew at wok but the extent of the enovation wok pobably will keep them busy at least until July, possibly until late in the month. The new Carter Lake course will not be ready this year- Several greens have been installed but the course will not be groomed until next fall. The new Benson course is all built and will be seeded as soo nas warm weather arrives- It may be opened in July Spring Lake, the links that have been a headache to the department for several years, may become a reality some time during the sum mer- The greens and tees are all finished and seeking operations fini shed will, get under way in a few weeks The status of Miller park’s links is uncertain- All of the greens have been graded up and made larger and rolling- If these carpets are planted they will not be open until July- It is possible that some of the old Elm wood greens will be transplanted at Miller, in which event the course should be eady within the month That leaves the nine-hole Foun tenelle park route. Here four new greens have bene constructed and two hols altered- The dog leg effect has been removed from No. 8 and one of the other holes is being leng thened. There will be a change of Elmwood greens onto Fontenelle grounds in order that the green wards will be in tiptop shape early in the season.
