IN THE REALM OF ...S P 0 R T S... OZE SIMMONS OF IOWA; A GENUINE ALL-AMERICAN By Willard Evans (For ANP) Chicago, Nov. 16, (ANP)— Doff your caps to one Oze Sim mons of Iowa, the first genuine Negro candidate for All-Ameri can football honors since the days of Brico Taylor and Duke Slater. I say that without reservation, even though the nances of Willis Ward, Manuel Rivero, Dave My Fitzhugh Lyons, Benjamin, Bell, etc., immediately loom like writing in an azure noonday sky. Good men all, but they lacked the stuff. Whenever a Negro gridster makes the first learn at o ne of the larger institutions of the Higher Yearning ( and since the depression with f.w jobs for the grads, Yearning is what I mean) it is customary for a certain sec tion of the easily excitable Dusky merican brotherhood t o start boorrying that player as “All American.” Playing with whites on a football t -am does not neces sarily mean that the colored pig skin fondler is the best there is in the nation at that position; it merely means that at his particu lar school he Btands heads and shoulders above all other candi dates. Of the galaxy of sepia stars now ringing in white college welkins, only Simmons at this time merits top honor considera tion. The Iowa ace has collected almost as mjany titl.s as has Joe Louis. He has been called the Black Bullet, the Hula Hipped Hawkeye, the Sopia Spirte, the Wizard of Oz, the Dancing Derv ish, the Ebony Express—not to mention several unprintable things by opposing tacklers who grabbed only great gobs of air as the fleet back ghosted by. Fol lowing a few moments in the seas on’s opmer against Bradley Tech when he lugged the ball only four times for 10 yards, the dusky star has lived up to the predic tions made at the start of 1934 following which he was let down by his teammates. A large, part of the 20-year-old lad’s success comes from the addition of 15 pounds for the current struggle, raising h i s weight to 185 and caking him harder to stop. Take a look at his accomplish ments prior to Saturday’s game with Minnesota: Against South Dakota—Ran 71 yards for a touchdown on a lat eral pass play. Returned a punt 61 yards for another touchdown. Against Colgate—Ran 63 yards for touchdown after taking later al. Plunged over for second and winning touchdown. Gained 120 yards from scrimmage. Against Ililnois—Ran 71 yards for touchdown. Gained 192 yards from scrimmage. Agaiast Indiana—Ran 59 yards on a rain soaked fi Id. Gained 119 yards from scrimjmage. Altogether, prior to the Minne sota game, Simmons carried the ball from scrimmage 66 times for a total gain of 464 yards or an av erage of seven p.r try. Natur ally that excludes punts—and he is probably more dangerous catching a kicked oval than at any other time. Iowa plays Purdue and North western on successive Saturdays. To date oven conservative sports authorities call him the best run ning back in the middle west. Others say the entire nation. How, I want to know, can Simmons be kept off the nation’s first 11 this year.

Surrender of Punnet King Arranged for Many Months Ago Addis Abada, Nov. 16—ANP — “Surrender" of Dodjas match Ilaile Salassie Gugsa, son-in-law of the Ethiopian emperor, who went to the Ital ians vjfth ^,500 warriors, in stead of being a moral victory as Mussolini would have it be lieved, was purely the culmin ation of a bargain arranged with Rome several months ago, it has just been revealed. | Ras Gugsa, who has been made a puppet emperor by II Duce, had always been jealous of Haile Salassie and his mar riage to the Emperor’s daughter did nothing to allay his envy. When Italy's determination to attack Ethiopia became clear, Ras Gugsa negotiated with Rome. His “surrender" in the midst of the fighting was stage managed, and the Ras played his part to perfection. This information was obtained by a correspondent of a London daily paper. The Emperor, however, feels a good deal of satisfaction at the desertion of Ras Gugsa, for it cleared up a very tense sit I uation in the northern armies. Ras Gugsa and Linn Mas Ras I feioum are lifelong enemies. Both are related to the Emper or by marriage.

Soutrern Newspaper Apologizes to Man For Race Story Birmingham!, Ala., Nov. 16.— The reactionary Birmingham News was forced to apolgize for a two-inch streamer headline reading “Negroes Slug Man, At tack Girl” when a vigorous pro test was sent the paper by Rev. Stewart Meacham, white pastor of the Dixon Memorial church here. Meacham attacked the sensa tional headline of an incident which occurred hundreds of miles away. The charge of rape, he pointed out, was supported only by the testimony of a middle-aged man and a girl who were found alone in a secluded spot known for “petting parties.” The two claimed to have been “in conver sation” when “robbed and as saulted.” “It is on this type of evidence that you, by interference, slander a fine and noble race of people,” Rev. Meacham wrote. “On this type of evidence you feel perfect ly free to raise the cry of ‘Negro rapist’ in our own troubld com munity. “The lynch mobs that you so piously decry in your editorials do not bear alone the guilt of m o b murder. Every force and instru cent that works toward the crea tion of the lynch mind must share in the guilt” Commenting on Rev. Mea cham’s letter, the News was forced to admit the lynch incite ment of the handling of the ar ticle but put the blame for “the unforunate occurrance” on "an er ror in judgment on the part of one of its news editors.” assie Gugsa the Princess. At the death of Ras Kuksa, the little king of the Tigre pro' vince, years back, his adopted son, Taile Selassie Gugsa, was promised the kingship but he was done out of it by Ras Sioum. Ras Gugsa remembers this and his hate lingers. As a general Ras Sioum, who has remained loyal, is the more important. He is more popular and powerful. It is stated that Italian bribes failed to corrupt Ras Sioum, who chastised the Italian omissaries and threw them out. The Emperor knows he will not lose Ras Sioum as Ion gas Ras Gugsa is with Mussolini. , MACH Salic Attacks, Pain In Rif hi —» for FItfk Th«rV« no obHfmtka whatever.
