FLASHES ON LOCAL
AMATEUR FIGHTERS
By BILLIE DAVIS
Tho greatest lighters, and the
best prospective corner so far of
the year is Roscoe Smith, who won
the lightweight championship of
the World-Herald Golden Glove
tournament. 'I his lad will bear
close watching. He has just re
turned from another one of his
jaunts. First he went to Chicag
to compete in the National Golden
Gloves there, after leturning hom.
for a few weeks rest, then left on
April y,with the champions foi
Boston, Mas-. where he also fought
in tho tournament there. Smith is
one great little fighter and has
plenty of courage. He is a coming
champion.
Another little fighter that de
serves a lot of praise is Preston
Love, who is a natural born fight
er. He was also in the World
Herald Golden Glove tournament.
He lost his second fight in the
tournament on a very bad decision.
Love is beiig trained by his bro
ther Billy Love, v ho at one time
was one of the best little fighters
in the middle west. With careful
handling Love will develop into
one of tthe greates fighters in his
class.
Both of these boys have the
making o fchampionship fighters,
under careful guidance. Their
chances of reaching the top are
very good.
We have had other young men
in the local | ugilistic field that
have had a goal chance to get on
the higher rounds oftheladder, but
poor management, lack of interest
and failur eof ourselves to sfand
behind them aid and encourage
them, has : 1 o Veen a prime factor
in their downfall and failure.
Names like Haskell Lee, a natural
fighter, if there ever was one,
physically equipped and a good
puncher and an amatuer champion,
failed in professionalism. Not be
cause of himself hut lack of pro
per guidance and schooling wasted
on the altar of ambition without
proper supervision .
An ole1 *imer who is staging,
"Kingfish ” who quit the ring sev.
eral years ago, is working out
daily at Jensen's gym. He is look
ing very good.

exception of the mile run and the
pole 'ault. Fouc- high schools and
one of our local universities will
be represented in part by Negro
performers, as is always the case,
we find that Tech and Central
buiTd their teams around a few out
standing Negto stars.
Tech, An Fnkown Quality
Tech the' school that won the
rity championships last year, has
been hit hard by the loss of two
white stas; Dick Beal and Divid
Wall, but the number of Negroes
reporting to Dutch White should
help him. No end to such hard
workers as Chester Hodges and
Gilbert, All-City, have been proven
to be an asset to any team. The
Tech .Squad numbers over one
hundred members but is still a
question mark.
South and North, two* of the
weaker teams < n the cinder path
and field sports, will have a few
Negro youths on their squads
Three young are pioneering at
North high which had only two
colored trackmen previous to now.
These three ars Preston “Jabber
LoVe”, Bunky Smith, and Larry
Parker. Benson high will not be
represented by any Negro, .since
Gus Rose, the only one to ever
* *m pete for the green and white
is not reporting.

at eve>y college in the Central

necessary preparations.
The motto of this band
! “Integrity”
Central Track Vets Keturn
Central high, which has always
had a strong team, nnd i Tech'
greatest rival has a glaxy of las*
years stars returning. Numbered
mong the veterans are “Byron
Hooch” Winston, “lyazy” Wash
ington, Jimmy “Monogram” Hol
land, “Big Mack” Lew M cDonald,
I . Wells and Warren Philips. A
couple of new comers promise to
add considerable strength to *he
sprint relay teams.
Warren is a version of his bro
ther i \ size, the brother who was
Central former sprint star, Paul
Philips. The cry around Cen* ral is
“waheh that big 300 pound so
nhomore weight wungler, Mc
Donald, swing out with the shot
nnd discus. The author of this
piece would also like to suggest
that an eye be kept on Warren and
Philips.
