By KEN JESSAMY After dodging the issue for more than a year, the AAU has finally agreed to consider the 10.2 second mark hung up by Jesse Owens at the National Collegiate Track and Field Meet at Stagg Field in Chi" cago on June 20, 1936_The as sociation at first ruled that the mark could not be considered be cause after remeasuring the track, after the race had been run, it was found to bfe approximately three fifths of an inch short of the 100 meters mark. The old mark of 10.3 for this distance has been shared jointly by Eddie Tolan and Ralph Metcalfe. Most of thfe colored baseball fans were a bit pleased when the New York Giants lost to the New York Yankees in thie World Series. Bill Terry, manager of the Giants, has been credited with making cer ain disparging remarks about col ored ball players.These remarks wero said to have been made, after a troupe of colored players soundly trashed the National League cham pions in training sessions in C\iba last year. One reason that may be given for the fact that colored footbal'ers who are students at white colleges can’t make the all-American squad is that they are barred, through agreements, from competiting when their team is playing southern col leges. Selection by all-American judges is partly based on the num ber of games participated in and the number of yards gained.The white player therefoile, is allowed to make up any defecit in yardage but being able to compete in more contests.This to our minds reaches the height of unsportsman ship and that it should be practiced by our leading educational institu tions makes it even more appalling. DOTS and DASHES from COAST to COAST Tiger Jack Fox knocked out Red Bruce again last week.This makes the third time that the Tiger has emerged victorious over John Henry Lewis’ stablcmate.Lewis still refuses howpver to give, Fox a look-see at the title...Pedro Mon tanes is scheduled to headline the bill at the Rockland Palace next week.This will mark the first time that the popular Porto Rican has fought since losing his cham pionship bid to Lou Ambers. The indoor track season will get underway shortly and we are won dering who will be the Negro ath letes to dominate the sport pages ... .Irfist year it was Ben Johnson, Corvelius Johnson, Mel Walker, Big Bill Watson, and Dave Albritton to mention a few_This year they will be again in the line up at tempting to crack new records and equal old ones.These are not the lads wo are concerned with how ever, wa are wondering who will be the new stars to flash across the horieon and dominate the scene. Abolishes Admissions To Athletic Contests Talladega, Ala., Oct. 28 (ANP) —Ia order to renounce ‘‘commerci alism in athletic,” Talladega col lege is inaugurating a policy of no admission charges to this year’s football games and other sporting contests, it was announced Monday by President Gallagher. Commenting upon this departure from custom, the president stated, “This step is a definite renunciation •f all commercialism in athletics. For many years the college has folowrd the consistent policy of refusing to give athletic scholar ships or to offer any kind of spe cial inducement solely to attract athletes and build up winning team. The elimination of gate re ceipts marks the logical culmina tion of this policy.” It is understood that the only other inetitution in the country following a similar policy is John Hopkins university, white, of Mary land. Kid North Takes Stable to Seattle San Mateo, Calif., Oct. 28 (ANP) —Robert ‘‘Kid” North, famous at the turn of the century as the trainer of Joe Gans, former light weight champion pugilist of the world and in later days as the train er of thoroughbred horses—is planning to take his charges in the Meadow-Kozinsky stable to Seattle for the Longacres meeting, it was learned here this week. Kid North is manager of the Meadowbrook stable and stock farm and ranks as the outstanding Negro trainer of the day. He is well known to. Hollywood’s movie col ony, had entries at Bing Crosby’s Del Mar Racetrack meeting this last summer, was photographed with Crosby and Andy Devine at Del Mar on the opening day of the July meeting. h Recently Kid North took first call on the riding services of the famed Jockey Ralph Neves of South City, considered one of the greatest of present day jockeys, but who, be cause of his impetuosity and quick temper while in the saddle, has been repeatedly disqualified by. track officials. North is convinced that he can get Nevens to overcome this handicap and thereby become one of the ace riders of the Mea dowbrook stable. Among the prize winners under North’s supervision, with Charley Groose as assistant trainer, are Better Bet, Cue Ball, Hunting Ridge, Cue Ball, Sharp Girl (win .ner of the Lassie Stakes), Sweeping Flame and Saratoga Gal. North t cently swapped Bon Red for Saratoga Gal, thought first ‘‘he had something there,” later changed his mind, decided it was an even swap —as both parties to the transaction got exactly nothing. As a souvenir of the days ‘ Way back when” he trained Champion Joe Gans, Kid North has lately come into possession of t’t^ punch ing bag used by Gans in 1902 while training for the fight with Frank Ernie at Fort Erie, and also one of the gloves Gans used in the, his toric championship battle of July 4, 1908, at San Francisco when he lost the world’s lightweight title to the tough ring gladiator, Battling Nelson of Chicago. These trophies, are among Kid North’s prized pos sessions. -o SEX Where Knowledge Means Happi ness. A needed book FREE with a ■ copy of ‘ The Natural Sex Life” for only $1.00 Postpaid.

Coach Edward P. Hurt, normally a mathematics professor, has car ried the precision of his science t0 the gridiron. ‘ It’s all a matter of timing," he declared. "In science you won’t be satisfied with any thing less than exactness. You need the same exactness in coaching a football team." Accordingly, all his plays are diagrammed and worked out with mathematical precision. Each play er has to complete a fraction of the whole play and taught to do exactly that. The result is a ground gain ing maneuver—such as his "round Robin" which was first introduced to a bewildered Bluefield eleven in 1935. In this play, the oval was snap ped to the fullback, who threw a foward pass to a halfback, who lateraled it to the other half, who then lateraled it back to the full back who had come wide around end. The first time it was tried it was good for a touchdown as the dazed opponents stared open mou thed. These and similar plays have helped Morgan to amass a total of 983 points in six years to the op ponents’ 82. -o Arrest Man in Dixie As “Spitting Artist” Raleigh, N. C., Oct. 28 (ANP)— Raleigh police last Tuesday arrest ed Charlie White of Method, N. C., as the long sought "spitting artist,’’ alleged to have a new and novel method of pick pockets. S. C. Poole of Neuse, Route 1, iden tified White as the pickpocket who spat upon him as he was leaving a local store, and who then apologiz ed profusely while he brushed his clothes with one hand and '“lifted” his wallet, containing $45, with the other.

Do you seek to manage your affairs so you will reap double value the value from a just and valid service rendered, and accruing good will which comes only if ydur motives are right? The second value is based on the first—cos's less but is worth far more. On the accumulation of the seo ond value depends your chance to grow and expand. Negro business needs more good will. It needs to grow and expand We urge Negro business men '6 render service at a profit, but also to love their neighbor. (In other words, COOPERATE!) NorthCarolina Life Insurance Co. Durham, N. 0. 0.
