BEATING THE GUN By Alvin Moses for ANP ... What We Mean By “Black Man’s Burden” Traveling with me to the dress'ng room of Iowa un'versity’s football team for an example 'n point of what we are eternally harping up on as, “The Black Man’s Bur den.” Ooach Solem has all of his squad varsity and scrub, gathered around hhn 'n awed suspense. He doesn’t keep them waiting very long, nei ther does he d'sappo'nt more than half of them in what he has to say. Hey, Simmons,.stand up! I want every man ‘n th's room to hear what I’ve got to say to you. We lost to M'nnesota by the unbelievable score of 52 to 0! Can you picture 'n your minds, I mean every last mother’s son of ye, what the other Conference coaches and Alumni Ass’ns are say'ng about Coach So lem of Iowa ? ? ? Now as for you Simmons, you played lousy foot ball in there aga'nst the “Gophers,” and it looked to me l'ke, you pur posely laid down there th's after noon. ((Simmons 'n partial rebut tal) “Why Coach, I never played harder 'n my life, I don’t know what it means to “lay down” as you just sa'd before all of my teammates, I don’t think you’re be ing fa'r to me.(Interruption at th's point), “You’ve said just about too much S'mmons.get out of this room and don’t show your face again on the practice field unt'l you’re ready to publ'cly apologize to me before the ent're team.” Like the discipl'narian, scholar and splend'd gentleman that he is, the powerfully bu'lt black boy, takes his leave No one will ever know unless “Ozsfio” chooses to g've a spec'al stry on it, just what took place in h's m'nd as he stood there.The outstandng player for three years on Iowa’s football team, listening with ears that refused to bel'eve themselves. to the cowardly, yellow-bell'ed blast of an offfc'al who knew he possessed the author ity to take the stand that he elect ed to. If you’re 'nterested in know ing, what I thought took place 'n the bronzed giant’s mind, I’ll tell you. “If I take a sock at th's l'ar and break his jaw, the news of it will travel around North Amer'ca and environs, and maybe,'"it will affect the chances of other colored boys who must follow in my steps. I know that there 's hardly a single player under the sound of his voice who would have taken the unjusti fiable lacing that he stuck under me today, but I can’t afford to be hotheaded 'n the matter, my ent're college future is in the balance here. What if he (Coach Solem) were to use h’s influence in forcing me out of the lowly position I have here that helps to pay my college tuition ? ? ? ? ? What were my brother (also an Iowa U. student) to suffer 'n the subsequent persecution that would follow my action ? ? ? ? ? Would they take my fr'end “Duke” Slater’s coaching assign ment from him in reaction to all of my group and race ? “Get thee behind me satan, you know the rules of the game stack ed up aga*nst me by a dastardly un written code.won’t permit of my bashing Solem r'ght square on the beezer.” The curtain falls on act one, and as we go into the anti-cbmax, Solem gets his apology, and Ozzie S'm mons, often referred to as “the en tire Iowa team,” 's left to reflect on just what they expect of the Amer ican Negro at our supposedly bet ter universities. If Solem can expla'n a 52 to 0 lac'ng to the Alumni Ass’n by sub jecting a boy whom he knew could n’t afford to str'ke back 'n bke man ner for a million and one reasons then he should still be Iowa’s foot ball coach 'n 1990. What’s hurting a guy’s feeling before hfs fellow-workers compar ed to saving one’s job? For a few ga'nsay the fact that a real job Ooech Solem has a swell one), is worth fifty of the type politicians throw *n your face these days. Our only fault with Coach Solem be* 'n the fact that he neither by dea'gn or sheer stupidity, bawled out )1m wrong guy t HAYNES KAYOES FELD MAN IN THE SECOND New York, Nov. 28 (ANP)— wlldered Referee A1 Re'ch pushed who had been reading top much about A1 Ettore, found he had been completely misinformed concern ing Leroy Haynes, PhUdelphia heavywe'ght. and knocked out Wed nesday night after 1:41 of the sec ond round <>f a scheduled 10-r"und bout held at the Hippodrome. Feldman went d«wn three times before a short r'ght to the jaw sent h'm to the resin for the count-He attempted to rise, but was so be wildered Refree A1 Re'ch pushed him back and held up Haynes’ glove. Haynes we'ghed 199!4 to 180 for Feldman, who made an impres s'vo start by catching his foe w'th p. swr'ng'n r'ght that shook h'm and near the end of the round snap ping back Haynes’ head w'th a sharp r'ght. But the Philadelph'an took the aggressive as the second stanza started and went on to score h's knockout. TWO NEGROES ON AKRON ALL CITP ELEVEN Akron, O., Nov. 28 (ANP)—Two Negro football stars were chosen on the All-City team named last week by the Akron Beacon Journal from players at this c'ty’s ten high schools. They are Bobby Nash, tr'ple threat junior back from West high, who was called by the Beacon Jour nal the “c'ty’s outstanding player’’ and who led Akron players 'n scor ing, and Jimmy Johnson, sopho rnre end and teammate of Nash at West. Nash weighs 162 and Johnson 150. LEWIS GOT $20,000 IN PITTSBURGH AS HE EN-. TERED LONDON RING London, Nov. 28 (By Rudolph Dunbar for ANP)—The same mo ment John Henry Lewis stepped in to the ring a few weeks ago to successfully defend his l'ghtweight championship at Wembley stadium from Len Harvey, 29-year-old Bri tisher, he became approximately $20,000 richer 'n Pittsburgh. r>y prearraiigement wan tne uri tish Box'ng Board of Control, that amount was placed on deposit in a Pittsburgh bank. On the n'ght of the bout, a representative of a Lon don bank was at the ringside. As soon as Lew's set foot in the r'ng, this representative s'gnaled Ws 'n st'tution wh'ch flashed a message immediately to the Amer'can bank releasing the purse, as the contract had been fulfilled. All that was re qu'red to insure his money was John Henry’s appearance in the roped arena at the scheduled time. This was the first time 'n the history of Brit'sh box'ng that a fighter’s purse had been paid be fore he struck a blow. S'nce the bout wh'ch the cham pion won with all ease, several London dad'es have ed'tcrially at tacked that part of the crowd which booed when the obvious dec's'on was rendered. Said Trevor, sports editor of The Da'ly Express: “There was neither sense nor reason in this. The demonstra tion was among the most foafish fight'ng has known, for the most generus of those who were *n a posit'on to see what happened could not have awarded Harvey more than three of the 15 rounds.’ Geoffry Simpson of the Da'ly Mail wrote: “It 's years since Harvey has taken such body punishment, and it was this and his unwilfingness to attack that caused h's down fall. When he d'd decide to em erge from his defnsive shell and open out, the effort came too late.’’ Dlt.

TUSKEGEE DEFEATS FIGHTING KNOXVILLE Knoxville, Tenn., Nov. 28—We' the TUskegee eleven, curshed the Knoxv'lle college Bulldogs 20-0 here last Saturday afternoon >n a charity game played before 1,200 specta tors. All three tallies for the Tigers came w'thin a few m'nutes of each other. The invaders scored first in the clos'ng minutes of the first quarter and repeated tw*ce at the very beginning of the second. /The Tigers sprang w'th fury and caught the Bulldogs off guard. Cl'eking off two long passes which were d'rectly responsible for scores, the T'gers blocked a k'ck to pave the way for the third tally. The first score came when A1 Fraz'er passed from his twenty to Mackey who carr'ed it over- Cush inberry kicked the extra point. At the beg'nfl vJhgcETAOINN quarter, Fraz'er passed to Seets to put the oval on the ten yard str'pe. Two plays and Walker scored through tackle from the three-yard line. Failed to convert. Tuskegee kicked off to Knoxv'lle the ball travel'ng into the end zone and K. C. had the ball on the twen ty. Madison dropped on h's own Hocked punt. Tuskegee again broke through t<> block a second punt of Madison’s and Se'sco fell on the ball for the final score. Cush'nberry add ed the point after. Knoxville aga'n received and at tempted to lateral 'n returning the k ck. They fumbled and Tuskegee recovered on the ten-yard line Knoxv'lle held them for downs and from that, point Tuskegee never seriously threatened. Exiept for a befuddled team 'n the second period, the Bulldogs met the T'ger’s onslaught on even terms and fought them to a standstill. Pathetically outwe'ghed the Knox ville college team drew adm'ration from the crowd for the'r spirited res'stance in the second half. Fight'ng up h'll all the way it was late in the game before the locals threatened when they completed several passes to br'ng the ball down to the twenty only to lose *t on downs. Strange as it may seem it was Coach Hawkins second str'ng l'ne that proved most effective against the Tiger;. ARMSTRONG STEPS INTO LIGHTWEIGHT CLASS DEFEATS MEXICAN St. Lou's, Nov. 28 (ANP)—Henry Armstrong, world’s featherwe'ght champion in California, M'ssouri Ill'no's, did all right for himself as a lightweight Tuesday night by scor'ng a techn'cal kayo over Joe Alcanter, Kansas City Mexican, in s'x rounds at Munc'cpal auditorium. The fight'ng actually went five rounds, Armstrong winning each handily. The Mex'can, who had never been kayoed before, kept str'ctly on the defensive by crouch ing low, putt'ng a glove over each jaw, and hoping for the best. Most of the action was 'n fight'ng, with Armstrong shootng out that great left at every chance. Just before the bell rang to end the fifth. Alcan ter dropped to the floor, more from an accumulation of punishment than from any particular blow. Exam'ned between rounds by physicians, the Mexican was found to have a badly fractured jaw and was ordered not to continue w'th the beating.

Bumpy Times for the Late Lamented By IRVIN S. COBB TH,E ^r- Donovan had had a very close call from being a dwarf. Indeed, there are dwarfs in circuses not many inches shorter than he was. Despite his diminutive bulk and the handicap of lack of height he nevertheless had succeeded in the contracting business and when he died he left a tidy estate and his widow mourned him properly. On the day before the funeral, having finished the preparations for the wake, she sat in the parlor of her home when Mr. McKenna, an old friend of the family, was announced. Ho asked, if he might be permitted to take a last look at the countenance of the deceased. "Help yourself,” said the widow. “He’s laid out upstairs in the front room. Just you walk up, Mr. McKenna.” So Mr. McKenna walked up. After the lapse of a few minutes he tip-toed down again, wiping away his tears. The widow removed the handkerchief from her eyes. '‘Did you think to close the hall door as you came down, Mr. Mc Kenna?” she asked. I think so, Madam,” he said. “I was so overcome wit’ me grief ( didn’t take much note. I think so, but I won’t be sure.” ‘‘Would you make sure, then,” she said. ‘‘It’s twice today already the cat’s had him downstairs." / a —... %T .I— i T—_» V IT’S A RACKET By Edward Pododsk.v A car pulls up at the curb of a store and a well dressed young man gets out and enters the store.
