I1Y RANDY TAYLOR ’International Negro Press Jeslse Owens came to town and all the sophisticated New Yorkers were down to the boat to give him a big hand.I went down the bay on the newspaper boat with the rest of the scribes and board ed the Queen Mary in mid-stream It was like getting into the Presidential Mansion to get on that boat The Owens family, Governor Davey of Ohio, Bill Ro binson, a. group from Cleveland, Jack Denrvey and a host of other celebrities were on the boat. Helen Hayes, the movie star war. on the beat, but one could only hear Owens, Owens, Owens A cordon of New York’s finest met Owens and his party at the gang plank and kept the surging crowds from overwhelming the brown he ro Mrs. Jepse Owens was all smiles and looked the picture of fashion Jessels father seemed bewildered, he just couldn’t get ac customed to all the crowds, Mo ther Owens took the whole affair like a veteran. But I am running ahead of the story Th» scribes ai'ound Jesse when they boarded the Queen Mary and of course began to ply the us ual questions Jesse outsmarted the boys in some of the answers ho gave When questioned about Hitler Jopse said, “Gentlemen, it would be bad taste for me to criticise the national hero of Ger many.” He continued that Mr. Buadage was a very fine man.’’ It just about floored every news paper man.They expected some thing quite different.The poor scribes did not have anything to write about, and that’s bad for any writer. The police escorted the Owens party in a mad dash to Harlem where they rested at the apartment of the inimitable Bill Robinson to wait for the train to Cleveland. Jejsse told the boys that he was glad to be back in the U. S. That he gave his best for the red white and blue.And that he made up in the ‘36 Olympics for having missed the team in ‘32. When he was pressed about the professional offers he had been re ceiving, he told the press that he intended to return to college and continue his education-Despite the fact that his entrance into the professional ranks is still the burn ing question, Owens said nothing that sihed 'any light on the question. Larry Snyder, the silent man behind the throne hovered over Jesse like a hen over her chicks .. . Bill Robinson took charge of the affair and well—you know it went .Well back to the Queen Mary Yours truly enjoyed the lux ury of a stroll along the docks and finally wandered down to the bar ...In good old continental fashion. I drained myself on the bar and ordered a tom collins The limey bartender went to town and I didn’t know that a tom Col lins could taste so good It cost mo fifty cents, guess I’ll have to make it on hot dogs for awhile now to catch up. Cleveland turned out in grand style to welcome its favorite son1 The welcome lasted two and a ' half hours Jesse spoke six min utes The longest time he has ever spoken before Now he’s home taking a much needed rest. Youth must be served.Lloyd Scott came through to take the na tional tournament setting Harmon Fitch back on his heels.N'atj Jackson and Ora Washington couldn’t stave all the charges of tho challengers and went down to defeat. Ran across Peacock and Ben Johnson and of course we talked, the boys are hanging up their shoes until the winter season in the boards Peacock says that football is out this fall. _ GRIDIRON GLEANINGS With the all-tstar football games getting under way early in Sept ember, the fans are beginning to think in terms of the pigskin and make prognostications as to who will win and so it goes. The talk usually runs to the Negro stars and what they will do this fall. Oze Simmons and his brother will be back and Iowta. Reed at Minnesota, Jordan 'at Northwest ern. Gillie at Western Reserve, Du vall at Loyola in California, Wea ver at Williamett up in Oregon and Bright, Illinois Normal. The boys are raring to go and you can bet that some of them are going to flash prominently across the foot ’ball scene. Oze Simmons looks like he will arrive this fall and make that all American team that he has been threatening to do for the past two years. He runs passes and if he can pick up the art of punting. 1 can’t see how hey can keep him oft' the team. He runs like a ghost in an open field and can really carry he mail when the pressure is on. This looks like Simmons’ year. Reed is due for another good year with Bierman up in the north country. This lad held his own last year and ought to be better this fall. Down below the mason-dixou line tho football dish is in a mess. The national championship still goes around waiting for someone to claim it. Kentucky State was cham pion in the midwest, Texas College in the southwest with Morgan Col lege still supreme in the east. No team played a sufficient number of intersectional contests to warrant being named national champion. Morgan should repeat in the Cl A A wih Hampton and Virginia State pressing them hard. Wiley will make the going tough for Texas College to repeat with Lang ston looking on with envious eyes. Anything can happen in the mid west. Wilberforce, Kentucky State, Lincoln, ’all of them possess the power to run off with the bunting. Its going to be a grand scramble in that league. I had better stop for these August prophecies don’t mean much anyway.

The 'public will know the enemies to this campaign through public meetings after this 1 leader is selected.

Clubs, to say the least, must bo sell'-protecting and obstacles arise at the outset. There are people | who can not be cultivated, whom you must keep down and quiet if you can. There are people who have the instinct of a bat to fly against n lighted candle and put it out. There are those who go only to talk, and those who go only to hear Both are bad. A right rale for a club would be, —admit no person whose presence es people who are not surprised and excludes any two topics.
