One of the many rumors going
the rounds is that Ralph Metcalfe
is to turn profssional and join
Jesse Owens in a world-wide tour.
The two, possibly the greatest
sprinters the world hfas ever seen,
will engage in match races.
This news is of special interest
from ttwo angles. Finst great
crowds will be assured because it
will be known that the incompar
able Owens will be pitted against
no set up and secondly, it will de
• finitely settle one question, who is
the greater aprinter? Notwith
standing the superlative perform
ance of Jesse Owens at Berlin,
there are quite a few dyed-in-the
wool track fans who are of the op
inion that no sprinter in the world
oan consistently defeat Ralph Met
calfe.
I truly hope that this rumor is
true, aside from satisfying the ap
petites of the fanis, it will give
two truly great Negro athletes an
Opportunity to capitalize on their
athletic prowness. It is indeed a
sad commentary that so few Ne
gro athletes, no matter how great,
have been able to reap the bene
fit of their efforts. Aside from the
amazing Fritz Pollard of Brown,
Paul Robson of Rutgers and pos
sibly Duke Slater of Iowa, it is
fairly safe to say that the other
Negro athletes have been denied
the financial renumeration that
should have been their just due.
Jesse Owens, the quadruple Oly
mpic champion, is in New York at
ipresent. He and his manager, Mar
ty Forkins are weighing the many
professional offers in an attempt
to get those which are most bene
ficial. We are all rooting for
Jesse and Ijope that he gets every
thing due him.
Ran into Eddie Tolan, hero of
the Olympias at Los Angeles in
‘32, on Seventh avenue the other
day. If according to certain ru
mors, Eddie plans to compete in
an exhibition tour of the country J
against Jessee Owens, he will have
lots of hard work getting down to
running shape as he weighs 30
pounds more than his 1932 running
form.
That sterling athlete Ralph Met
calfo has been appointed Director
of the Department of Physical Ed
uation at Xavier in New Orleans.
This is a fine step as Metcalfe,
because of his fine leadership
qualifies, should be able to deve
lop the wealth of raw material to
be found at that far Southern in
stitution, into potential track win
ners for America in 1940 at Tokio.
Football officials were assigned
to games and schedules completed
at the annual mteting of the
" Southwestern Association of Coa
ches and Officials, held at the Y.
M. C. A., Dallas, Tex., Sept. 12.
Examination of Officials, the
first ever held in a Negro officials
organization were introduced and
taken by all offcials expecting to
officiate in the games of the
Southwest conference
Coaches from Arkansas State
Langstjon, Texas, Bshop, Wiley
Sam Houston, Prairie View, Sou
thern, Jarvis, and Xavier. Offici
als from Oklahoma, Ark., Louis
iana. Texas and Kansas were re
presented.
Coach Matty Boll, of Southern
Methodist university, Dallas, Tex.
gave a short talk on the major
changes in the football rules for
1936.
The Brown Bombers, Negro pro
fessional football team of New
York City are hard ait training
with all the signs pointing to an
other groat season. Ably coached
of Brown university, the “Bom-;
bers” will attempt to better their
1935 record which cortsisted of 10
victries and 2 defeats. Joe halliard,
formerly of the Chicago Cardinals
and considered one of the greatest
football players in professions^
ranks, white or black, will be back
to lead the team. It is unfortunate
that Negro football enthusiasts
throughout tihie land will be un
able to see the “Bombers” in ac
tion. Attendance to the “Bombers”
games last season was not promp
ted by race ctnsciousnefcs but by
the knowledge that one would see
high class football played.

Ithica, N. Y.—INP)— Big Jim
Holland is the boy that Coach
Snavely hopes to groom for the
climax threat at halfback for Cor
nell university this fall. The big
boy hails from an up-state New
Fork high school.
As a fretshman last year he was
a sensation and the Cornell grads
that saw him in action began to |
say, “happy days are here again” |
4or he reminded them of the days
Eddie Kaw ’and George Pfann. In,
spring practice he lived p to all
hopes and Snavely is depending
upon this young sophomore to sup
ply the vital spark in he Cornell
backfield.
Htlland is big, fast, nans the
century in ten flat and is a good
blocker. The boys uip Lake Cayuga
way say he can dish it and can
take it. Here’s hoping he dodges
the profls. They have a way of de
priving many a good football play
er from shining.

—Joe Louis certainly has covered
a lot of tendtory during the short
time he has been fighting profes
sionally.. When he tangled with
A1 Ettore in Philadelphia’s Muni
cipal Stadium on September 22,
the Bomber has fought in 11 dif
ferent cities since he made his pro
fessional debut in Chicago on July
4, 1934. He also has fought in New
York, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Flint,
Peoria, Dayton, K-alamiazoo, Lftfs
Angeles and San Francisco. On an
exhibition tour last fall, he ap
peared in Toronto, Montreal, Que
bec, Portand, Augusta, Bangor;
Waterbury and Providence. He
had but one bout; called off in Ha

New York, Sept. 23— (C)—
The morbidly curious got their
fill for about six hours Tuesday
evening when long lines of J
people crowded in the Howell'
Funeral church, 137th St. and
7th Ave., viewing the remains
of Policeman John II. Robert
son and his wife, Annie. The 1
cop shot his wife to death in
their Edgecombe apartment
Saturday afternoon. The man
then shot himself to death be
fore officers arrived. Robert
son, a familiar figure on 7th
Ave., where he patrolled from
139th to 142nd St., was from
Alabama. His wife was from
the West Indies. They had been
married 13 years, and Mrs.
Robertson had a son 19, by a
former marriage. She was six
years older than Robertson, be
ing 45. There was no clearcUt,
reason for the double tragedy,
many friends saying the wife
was a “nagger’’ and the cop
got tired of it. Mr. Robertson
was buried in Brooklyn Wed
nesday and the wife in Long
Island City by the side of her
first husband. Robertson had
been on the force ten years,
and was a w'orld war veteran.
His aim on his wife was perfecl
—twice through the right
breast, and twice through the
left side while he was sitting,
and she attempting to run. He
shot himself through (he mouth.
