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.’’

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."

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. He
ins'sts upon showing the proprietor
p new type of electric bulb, recent
ly perfeetd, which 'n a short time
will replace ah present types of
electric bulbs. He ig the advance
agent, he says merely for adver
tising purposes
He goes over to one of the elec
tric sockets, removes the bulb, sub
stitutes one of h's own “Improved"
bulbs, and sw'tches on the light- The
whole store isflooded with brilliant
l'ght
While th's is g^ng on he delivers
the following talk. “This is an en
tirely new type of bulb, using a new
gas mixture, consisting of neon
and other rare gasses As you see
It gives you ten times the lllum'na
tion of bulbs of the same s'ze you
are now using- With th*s bulb you
use fewer of them and get much
more light- I needn’t tell you what
a wonderful sav'ng on your month
ly electric. b'U you will get by using
this new bulb. And the price per
bub is only a dime more than the
ord nary kind ”

bulb actually does give greater illu- ^
m'nation. He orders two dozen and,
'pays iho pr^e gladly. As so<>n as

more than that, the store is brilli

display of light. Then quickly, one
after another, the lights all go out
The wonderful new bulbs were
merely ordinary bulbs of stronger
