( By F. M. Baris for ANP) (>>l«r Line On Owfens Chicago, Jan- 1&—Sepia scribes are not the only ones rising in in dignation at the failure for two years straight of the Sullivan Aw ard committee to honor Jesse Owens Several of the white sports writers are up in arms over this snub administered by the Amateur Union, seeing in it the drawing of this nation’s infamous color line. One of the most outspoken cri tics of the, selection of Glenn Mor ris rnler the Buckeye Bullet was Shirley Povich, sports editor of the Washington Post. In his daily col umn, entitled “This Morning,” Mr. Povich had this to say last week: <‘The Sullivan award is based, according to the A. A. U. people on an athlete’s performance, his sportsmanship and example to j American youth With Owen’s per- j formance, the greatest individual j display of athletic ability in his tory psrhaps, there could be no quarrel. And if his performance also was not a shining example to American youth, then I forget the meaning of the word. “And if Owens’ frankness in not choosing to run in the Scandin avian countries after the Olym pics was not at least sporting, then the A. A. U. people can have It their own way “Yes, Owens aprtarently quali fied in everything but skin pig ments.- No Negro ever had been voted the Sullivan Medal and the accident of birth which governed the color of Owens’ epidlermis was probably duly noted by the A. A- U which, with an utter lack of sports manship, handed down the sports manship award.’’ Thjanks, Mr. Povich. As a matter of fact, Jesse should have been honored in 1935 No body in track history ever accom plished the amazing feat of run ning 100 yards in 9-4 seconds. 200 yards in 20.3, the 220 yard low Ihurdl'es in 22.0 seconds and broad jumping 20 feet 8 inches the same day until Jesse did it in the spring of 1930. But he missed the Sulli van award because—so the A- A. U explained—he was drawing a salary as page, boy for the Ohio State legislature when he was not on the job every day. White ama teur athletes have been doing more than that for years with nothing said, but of course they were the same color as A. A. U. officials. Undaunted, Owens went on last year to outrun and out jump every body oompbting against him and established a new world’s record twice for the 100 meters of 10.2 j seconds- The first was taken from him because the track was three fif Ihs of an inch short,’ the second made in Berlin was also tossed out because he was supposedly aided by a tailwind Officials ignored the fact that this baby breeze was not sufficient to offset the slowness of a muddy track- However, Jesse then broke world’s record for 200 meters around a turn as well as the Olympic broad jump record and had a hand in cracking the world’s j 400 meter relay record. He came Back to America with four gold j medals to Morris' one and the best ; record ever hung up by an athlete ; in the international games. Morris, in all fairness, is a great athlete und probably Woi||: 1 de servo the award if Owens were not around. Twice this year he has broken the world’s record in the decathlon, but this merely shows [him to be an all-round athlete. So, for that miatte^ is the fetiudenti, who wins letters in football, track basketball and baseball at a big university but this student still is not t© be mentioned in the same breath with Red Grange, who was only a football player, or Joe Louis who is only a boxer. t As a matter of fact, a decathlon star is merely a jack of all trades who Is good in many events but has mastered none sufficiently to be a world beater- If your decathlon contestant could outrun) anybody else in the world at 400 meters or toss the shot farther or pole vault higher, IJt wtouHd jfrobajbly con centrate on this specialty and let the other events go to the devil.

While he is no doubt getting a more leucrative offer at the latter school, it be came evident during the past sea son that a change was inevitable The success of a fwtball e"ach is .1 lermined by his ability to pro duce winning teams. And while I Coach Solem is u fine gentleman, i his average here has not been good. Without attempting to assign a rea ! son the fact remains dhat this is • true. Under his administration, Iowa has had some fine Negro players. He was broad enough to give (hem 1 tho opportunity—a thing some coaches even in the Dig Ton have not done Just who his successor will be wo will n<>t attempt to guess, but whoever It is, it is hoped that ho will be no less a sport than Solt'ni was- Whoever comes will find a Ne gro captain of ihe team for 1937 and if he has had n<> previous ex perience with Negro players fort unately he will find in this captain the highest type of man and sports manship and in the boys who sel ected him, white men have shown thicir confidence in his leadership by givin him their support. Negroes who have been students at the university should use what ever influence they have, that the new coach may maintain the re putation Iowa has had for fair play for Negro players.
