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

Rosenbloom in St. Louis—The

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

^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

An American air conditioning
plant has been installed in one of

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

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.
