IN THE REALM OF By F. M. Davis i (For ANP) WHAT KIND OF REASONING IS THIS? Action of the associations in suspending Morgan college of Baltimore for a year reminds me of the school boy who in a theme said the man got on his horse and galloped off in all directions. The CIAA, you know, at the same time crowned Morgan football cham pions for 1935. It may be that I am crazy and need to get friendly with a good alienist. Jf the college officials who came to this decision are sane, then I admit without furth er argument I am as nuts as a boxer who thinks he can whip Joe Louis. Either Morgan is or Morgan ain’t. If the Maryland college is guilty of infractions of rules, playing an ineligible star and lax observance of statutes, this has obviously not transpired since the end of the football season. If the school is guilty of that now, it was guilty all during its grid contests, and therefore its games must be forfeited and it cannot be de clared champion. Conversely, the official handling of the pigskin crown to'Morgan logically means that the school has not violated conference regu lations. Therefore, how can it be suspended; In effect, the CIAA in one breath declares Morgan is all right and hands over the diadem. But before those words can even make echos the CIAA calls itself a liar and says the opposite is true by suspending the institution. To the public it claims both state ments are right—and keeps a straight face about it! Maybe my trouble is that I never went in for Einsteinian physics at college. I never got past Euclid, who said two paral lel lines meet only in infinity. But it seems likely the good CIAA brothers would even make Ein stein scratch his head. After all, the great mathematician never said anything about an empty full bucket. It seems to me that the boys, to be reasonable, should have withheld the crown if they wanted to suspend Morgan, or else if they decreed she was champ to put her on probation under strict surveil ance for a year during which she would be forced to clean up or get out. This, however, is logical, and after all you evidently can’t ex pect too much from mere college executives. The schoolboy who wrote those famous words about that horse must have been a prophet with the 1935 meeting of the CIAA in mind. ODDS AND ENDS John Henry Lewis, light heavy weight champ, spent Christmas in Arizona with his mother whom he hadn’t seen since winning the title. He was scheduled to meet Young Firpo in Portland, Oregon, on New Year’s day and then jour ney east, maybe to tackle Maxie Rosenbloom in St. Louis—The Palais Reyale Big Five of Philly hits the road for a long jaunt this month after victories over top notch ers. Was Paulino Uzcudun never really knocked down until he met Joe Louis? According to Arch Ward of the Chicago Tribune, on the wall of K. O. Christner’s smoke shop in Akron, Ohio, hangs a picture showing the Bounding Basque being counted out by a refi rce. The date on the picture is Feb. 22, 1929. It was taken in Madison Square Garden and the boxer waiting in a neutral comer is K. O. Chris Iner. Gorilla Jones was to see what he could do about Tait Liftman at Milwaukee New Year’s afternoon. Oscar Rankin, the redheaded sepia middleweight from the West Coast, has won once and lost once to Littman. Rankin was to box George Black on the same card.

An inventor has given a tobac co pipe three bowls of different size’s to provide smokes of various lengths, a revolving cover closing those not being used. ^Joe Louis Has Collected $371,645 For Fighting Detroit, Jan. 4, (ANP)—For his 26 ring battles since turning professional at Chicago, July 4, 1934, Joe Louis has collected $371,645, according to estimates made by statisticians here. Joe has averaged $3,318 a round or $1,106 a minute, figures show, and stands in a fair way to name his own price now for every fight. This is a far cry from his first bout 18 months ago with Jack Cracken for which the Brown Bomber received $50. His second fight brought him $60, his third $75, and by November of 1934 he jumped into the $300 class by knocking out Stanley Poreda in Chicago. From there on business picked up. Two weeks after the Poreda bout, Joe drew down $1,000 for beating Charley Massere. His purses went up by $2,000 and $3,000 after his first fight with Lee Ramage in Chicago and jumped to five figures when Louis got $44,000 for meeting Primo Camera in New York. The peak of Joe’s 1935 earnings was his contest with Max Baer in New York. Louis drew down $215,375 for four rounds work. This was the bout which brought back the golden era into boxing and the million dollar gate, thought to have been buried with Tex Rickard. Cuba Suspends Joe Louis Troupe For Six Months Havana, Jan. 4, (ANP)—Be cause it was deemed unsafe for Joe Louis to go through with a scheduled fight with Isidoro Cast anaga in Cuba because of political conditions, the Brown Bamber and his manager, Julian Black, drew six months suspensions here last week. Mike Jacobs, New York boxing promoter, was at the same time fined $500 “for defamation of Cuba.” Jacobs, in announcing the fight was off, told how he had been met by men carrying ma chine guns when he arrived here “just to convince me, they say, that everything was harmonious and peaceful.” Howard To Improve Negro Preachers Washington, Jan. 4—(ANP) —Training of ministers at the Howard university is going I through a transition period, ac cording to the report of the president, Dr. Mordeoai John son, and just released in the an nual report of the Secretary of the Interior for 1935. For the past three years, Howard has accepted no stu dents who had not already earned their bachelor’s degree, and by June 1936, its entire student body will be on a grad uate level. This decision not to train for the pulpit men with only high school education has caused a drop in enrollment, but it is looked forward to as an improvement in the equip mest of the Negro preacher of the future. Instead of one oral examina tion on the mechanics of the Bible, as part requirement for the bachelor of divinity degree, two otehr examinations have been added in the school of re ligion. The students must pass au oral, comprehensive exam ination on the various fields of religion and must defend, by oral examination, his thesis, the report points out. An automatic converter ha s been invented that enables bu tane, a cheap waste product of petroleum, to be used as fuel in motor vehicles and stationary en gines. An American air conditioning plant has been installed in one of the deepest gold mines in the Union of South Africa to lower the temperature for the workers. THINGS THEATRICAL By Franklyn Frank (For ANP) AS THE YEAR PASSES I REMINISCE Chicago, Jan. 4.—Fo’give me if I reminisce as the Noo Yeah starts. My first sight of Chicago was only a little later than this part of the year in 1927, and if you ask me it was doing right well theatrically speaking. There are many things I remember. Those were the days when Cab Callo way was getting his start as a juvenile star singing ballads in the old Sunset and Dreamland Cafes, entering an occasional amateur contest at the theaters whcve he had indifferent luck. In those days Sanmmy Stewart and his orchestra were racing with Erskine Tate for top honors. A year or two later Sammy got an offer to go east and Cab, so the story goes, begged to be taken along—but Sammy didn’t think he was worth a good doggone! Two other juvenile stars were in the spotlight with Cab; they were “Red” Simmons, son of the orat ing man, and Charles Ray—And Blanche was singing in vaudeville and cabarets. Brown and McGraw were insist ing they originated the Black Bottom. They danced at the Sunset—Louis Armstrong was trumpeting with Tate—Jimmie Ferguson (Baron Lee to you) was being groomed as a successor to Bert Williams and did a song dance at the Cafe de Paris and the AppoJlo theater here. Jazz Lips Richardson was also knock ing ’em cold—Paul Ash, the white maestro, was in his glory and at the Oriental theater was introducing colored stars to Chi cago, among them George Dewey Washington. Ethel Waters had her entire Calico Girl (or was it Gingham Girl ?) show in the cast at the Cafo de Paris where Dave Pey ton’s orchestra held sway—Mae Alix, then tantalizingly curve some, did her running splits at the old Sunset—and generally came up with green money—Norman Thomas was an ace producer— Slick White drew tons of praise— Later that year Nora Holt Ray A Three Days’ Cough Is Your Danger Signal No matter hew many medicines you have tried for your cough, chest cold or bronchial irritation, you can get relief now with Creomulsion. Serious trouble may bo brewing and you cannot afford to take a chance with anything less than Creomul sion, which goes right to the seat of the trouble to aid nature to soothe and heal the Inflamed mem branes as the germ-laden phlegm is loosened and expelled.

NP-3 was hostess at the swank little Apex (now a church) and Jimmy Noone had the club’s five-piece band—and ofays still dominated Garfield boulevard near Washing ton Park, now exclusively sepia! TEDDY WILSON BACK TO CHICAGO? Rumor has it that Teddy Wil son, who left here a few years ago is about to return to Chicago with his new title (awarded by the English) of best jazz pianist in the world. He wed a Chicago girl after coming here from Tuskegee where he studied printing, and Mrs. Wilson is also no slouch at the keyboard. He once stroked the ivories with Jimmy Noone’s orky and a few other aggrega tions here and had to do it al la Earl Hines to be accepted, he says. If the young star does shift here with his owTn band, it will be in teresting for the boys to compare w’ith Hines since Tedy has these added laurels. Incidentally, two new discs by Wilson have just been released en titled “Sugar Plum” and “These n’ That n’ Those” with the re cording band composed of both black and white. Johnny Hodges, that tough alto sax of Duke El ington’s band, and Tommy Maey from Isham Jones are two of the stars.
