NEGRO I'U K FIELD—j __ New York Oct. 27 Though Syracus v, as heater.' Saturday the star of Sidat-Singh shone just t*s brightly as it did! in the Cornell game. The s nsation-i al .yong Negro lad:, who never' played football in high school anl had to be talked into going out for the team ir his second year, threw two brilliant touchdown pas ties nganist a defense sprcud for them, ran lack a coupl of kicks mare than forty yards through a broken field, and was in there1 scaring the life out of the Michi- j gan team until the last minute with his accural^ and deceptive passes. Another Negro hoy who did all right for himself to put it mildly was Kenny Washington of UCLA. Kenny’s contribution to tht defeat of hitherto unb aten, Idaho were romps of forty-six and forty-seven yard8 for touchdown^ and the scoring of a third from the seven yard lino after passing his team down the field. You could knock together a nif ty All-American Negro baekfield with Sklat-Singh. Washington Ber nlo Jefferson of Northwestern and Brud Holland of Cornell.

KOJIN HOODS WINS SOCCER GAME TWo undefeated teams Robb'n Hoods and Urban League-— clashed ii p. recreation soccer league game Sunday at Elmwood Park before p.pl roximately 3,000 people. The Robbins took the Urbans 1-0. -0O0 n Carolina drops color BAR; GREAT SINGH TO PLAY When 20-year-old Wilmeth Si dat dodged two Cornell ends late Saturday afternoon in Archibald Stadium and whipped the ball straight down th? center alley 30 yards to a boy named Allen for the winning ttfchdpWQ against Cornell, he tve momentum to the drive that will finally chase the ugly spectre of Jim Crow off the American athletic scene. That pa s cl'maxed the most biilliant exhibition of markman • hip under hysterical pressure ary of the snorts writers present had ever seem, and mo t of them had been around. Nin minutes before the end of the game, powerful Cornell, fav ored heavily to win and perhaps eventually g t the bid to football's classic, the .Rose Howl, led 10-0. Once during those last moments that left ti e 35,000 spectators limp and hoarse, a Cornell baek broke loose for a 00-yard touchdown run hut eight times young Sidat Singh took the ball from center, or from mother back, cooly faded back and hit him target all but once, three times for the payoff. So Sy racuse won the ball game. And the echo of that victory, far from ding down with the noise of the little town’s celebration, is beginning to be heard all over tin land. Here’s why. Sindat Singh is a Negro. He pitched his tacm into national prominence and into a possibh Rose Howl invitation if it contin ues undefeated. (But on November 12th, Duke University of North Carolina is scheduled to play Syracuse at the same Archibald Stadium, and Duke ha»s a contract stipulation, stating that no hoy with a dark skin be, used against them. Last Year and This Last Syracuse travelled to Bal timore' to play Maryland Universi ty, and a fow hours before the gamu time, Singh was notified that ho didn’t have to don his uni form. Syracuse t|nok a beating, incidentaly, and there were loud rumblings of discontent from stu dents. players, faculty and fans at tho yielding of Jim Crow to dicta tion. This year Maryland came up f> Syracuse to complete the home and heme ■"'lies. And again asked that Singh Ik k< pt on the bench. But time doesn’t stand still, and voices r row louc\?r. New Yoi'k University, which c'ght years ago yielded supinely to Georgia’s Jim Crow r qu st b re, had turned down a. similar request by North Caro lina last October, and kept Ed Williams in the line up. And when the season was over the Carolina boys had uranimously voted Ed tho best fullback they faced all season, and- came back again to play N. Y. U, this year. linnl Holland, Cornell’s Negro end, had won unanimous All American recognition, and Joe Louis, John Henry L wis and Henry Armstrong were a trium phant and h:ghlv respected tri umvirate of world’s fistic champs. It all added up. And Syracuse was still rankling from last year’s in cident. The stud nts. players, fa Colored Star To Appear In Omaha’s 1st Championship Professional Football Game DARK LAUGHTER by 01 Harrington ‘ DE GAME WUZ HERE ALRIGHT—I STOPPED BY A WHILE AGO. BROTHER BOOTSIE WUZ SITTIN’ HOLDIN’ FOUR ACES AN’ I THINK I SAW ANOTHER ONE STICKIN’ IN HIS SHOE.” culty and fa;is were much loudir and sharper in their condemnation this time. So Sidat Singh played against Maryland. There was no written agr ement such as Duke holds and Syracuse was in a pos ition to play him or Maryland for feit. Syracuse won that game by 50 to 0, an amazing rally against a top line team, and Singh ac counted for three touchdowns in his five minutes of purposeful action. The boys played as though they were taking it out for last year. Since then little Santa Barbara College, of California, asked by a visiting Texas outfit to keep its Negro star on the bench “as per usual,” has told the Southern au thorities in polite language the exact equivalent of ‘Go to H— and when tht Texas school per sisted, promptly canc lied the game and devoted the Saturday to practice. Now the Duke-Syracuse game is on the way, with both teams currently undefeated, the eyes of tho nation on the game, an dper haps a Rose Bowl bid is the off ering, And heie i« a chance to forever wip, out the cowardly yielding by Northern universities to Southern Jim Crow orders, and that will mark a long step forw ard in the bitter fight to end this irnatural, rotten and un-Ara rican discrimination everywhc re anil in every sport.
