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.
Cleveland Paper Gets
Out Special on Jesse
Cleveland, O., Sept. 13—(C)—
The homecoming of Jesse Owens,

The Bacchanite club is striving to
open up new avenues of employ

to continue their education. Omaha
Negroes for years bras needed a
trustworthy leader. A leader for
the best interest of the Negroes
as a whole. A leader to represent
them in all civic affairs. With one

Negro Youths, we can expect to

the city of Omaha that the Negro 1
youth is entitled to fulfill. The
Bacchanite club feels that with the
proper leadership, we can secure;
these positions. We need a leader i
.hat our entire Negro population ;
can, and will stand behind to the
finish. We feel the necessity of a
leader who is not afraid to ask
for and demand the thinges that
will better the economic condition
of our race. We expect to exert
every effort at our command to
continue this campaign honestly,
squarely and above board where
every Negro in Omaha will have
the opportunity to nominate his
candidate and the election will be
held with an open ballot. We furth

well in Omaha. The 'public will
know the enemies to this campaign
through public meetings after this 1
leader is selected. This campaign
will be conducted by the Bacchan-!

civic ’and social organizations for
the purpose of explaining more
fully the object of this campaign,
