Owens in the Theatre
Larry Snyder, coach at Ohio
State university, has announced
that Jesse Owens, the Olympic hero
will begin chasing the gold behind
the footlights of the stage Snyder
further states that Owens will go
to N. Y.. to study dancing under
the tutelage and guidance of Bill
Robinson, the famous tap dancer.
In answer to the question as to
whether or not Owens’ amateur
standing will be affected, Snyder
stated: “Jesse will sing and dance
on the stage and will not lose his
amateur standing simply because
he will not appear in any capacity
as an athlete ”
The danger in the whole situa
tion lies in the billing of Owens.
Should he be billed as Jesse Owens,
Olympic Hero” or should any re
ference be made to his athletic
prowess, you can bet your boots
itliat the AAU bigwigs are not too
kindly towards Owens since his
famous “run-out” in Europe, and
tho boys w„uld like to see Owens
mako the move which would give
them the opportunity to call him
a professional.
For the life of me, I can’t see
why there should be all this con
cern about amateur standing, etc
Owens certainly has done a good
job for Ohio State and the United
States, for the past three years he
personally, has made the Ohio
State track team front page copy
Ho “made” the 1936 Olympics as
for as it,he American viewpoint is
concerned- What else can the boy
do.
Ho has all the track records
tucked in his pockets. He has won
all the track championships that
are available—can you tell me
what’s Owens going to gain by re
taining his amateur standing?
When you look down the line and
try to find a Negro athlete that
has cashed in on his college fame,
you find it difficult to find one—
they just don’t exist Take Drew
Tolan, Cooke, Brice; Taylor; Ward
the case of Wesey Fesler, their
and all the rest, and not one of
them have made any money thru
their athletic ability. The boys have
had to tlrn to law, medicine, social
service and whatnots to eke out
tho things that we need in making
a living.
If Owens was a white boy, he
would have no worries for Ohio
State would probably call him
back to help coach the track teams
They did that in the case of Wes
ey Fesler, heir all-American foot
ball star- But Owens will have to
realize that this is a land of in
equalties, a land of limited oppor
tunities for gentlemen of color,
and that black is black, white is
white and though the twain may
1 meet in the distant future that
day is not yet- Jesse wall find that
when all the smoke has cleared
away he will have to turn to teach
ing, the law, medicine, the minis
try or perhaps business—that's
what all the rest of the boys had
to do
If Owens can earn $10,000 in
the next year, even if it means he
will have to sacrifice his amateur
standing, he will be making a big
mistake if he doesn’t snatch the
opportunity That’s more money
than he will make in alifetime in
the old professions- Weigh this
against amat.uer standing, and I’ll
bet the old gold will outweigh all
the rest
I know of a chap who was one
of the greatest football players at
one time of the colleges in New
England some ten years ago. They
were crazy about this boy, his
classmates termed him the “best
same fellow is on home relief in
athlete in college.” Today, this
New York City
iFAME IS FICKLE—Chase the
the gold, Jesse and let the amateur
standing go.

Simmons took a lateral pass from
Eieherly,, and with no blocking
support, ran 29 yards over the
goal line
Much of Simmons' failure to go

Operating behind that forward

National Catholic
Inter-Racial Group
Cincinnati, Sept, 26 (By James
T. Whitney for AND—The cry of
tho angles cm the first Christmas,
“Peace on earth to men of good
will,” was cherished by those in
whose minds the National Catholic
Interracial Federation was born.
George W. B. Conrad, Cincinnati
attorney, president of the federa
tion, said in his annual address at
tho concluding session of the 10th
annual convention in Holy Trinity
•auditorium.
“Tho new social order calls for
men of integrity and honor, men
who have an unselfish desire to
serve humanity in all its aspects,”
Mr. Conrad said. “This new better
social order must be built from an
acknowledgement of the Father
hood of God and Brotherhood of
Man.”
i Mr. Conrad said aim/s of the
federation were to advance its re
ligion and the Negro race, and also
inspired by the basic elements of
i Catholicism, to promote the wel
fare of the country and of man
kind, He haid:
“The Negro must not per
mit men with selfish and ul
terior motives to undermine
and destroy his faith in the
American white man. He
should ever cling to him, be
lieving that his interests are
so linked wdth one common ob
jective that the success of one
means the success of the other.
“He must strive to emulate
the white man's virtue and
not his vices. The Negro must
stop whining ahout his con
dition and redouble his efforts
to contribute something toward
alleviating his economic and
social condition. He must de
vote less time to social diver
sion and strive to win praise
and respect through laudable
achievements.”
Mr. Conrad was reelected to the
presidency. Other officers elect
' ed were: Vice presidents, first,
John C. Dempsey, white, Cincin
nati attorney and member of the
| Community Social center, a Ca
i tbolic Negro welfare organization;
i Mrs. Cora Riley, Indianapolis; Mel
Ivin McNairy, business man, Chie

tary, Charles L. Rawlings, Detroit.
Resolutions deploring the trouble
in Spain, declaring against Com
munism and Fascism, praying for
the canonization of Blessed Martin
do Porres, Peruvian Negro Dtmin
ican, decrying injusties to the Ne
gro, especially lynching, and ex
pressing appreciation to the clergy
and the laiy of the diocese for their
hospitality were adopted.
Rev. Francis G. Wade, S. V. D.,
Lafayette, La., Negro priest, cele
I brated memtrial mass at Holy
| lYinity church. The morning was
! devoted to a business session at
| which Rev. John LaFarge, S. J.,
associate editor of America, and
Rawlings were the principal speak
crs. Speakers in the afternoon were
McNairy who said in his talk on
“Educatitn and Racial Adjust
ment” that impairment of relations
between the races is due to ignor
ance, and that frequent contacts
I between racial groups are needed;
I Rev. Leo M. Walsh, StL James
j church, Wyoming, Ohio, whose
Jilk on “The Federation and its
, Objectives” was in a vein similar
to McNairy’s, and Thompson, wht
j said on “The Negro’s Achieve
ments in the Olympics,” that in
tenacial goodwill come thi-ough
such young men as Jesse Owens
and Ralph Metcalfe, who serve as
Ambassadors of goodwill. The con
vention ended with a reception and
dance at Holy Trinity auditorium.
