AN AM. 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. Brud is
nominally an end. but he is terri
fic with the ball under his arm
that ho runs it from his end post
often during the game.

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

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

irnatural, rotten and un-Ara rican
discrimination everywhc re anil in
every sport.
