JOHN HENRY LEWIS, long rc-<
garden! one' of the most intelligent
boxers t.ho ring has ever known
was almost in tears immediately
after the signing of articles of

match with Jce Louis. While we
have newer campaigned strenuously
for matches involving outstanding
members of th. race against each
other especially when the fistic
timh rlands have been crowded
with classy “palefac s;’’ this match
has always caught our imagination
i* for no other reason than the
pure unadulterated spunk of the
175 pounder who has always felt
that he can lick the man whose,
v. ry name scared dynamic punch

Those tears of John Henry by

the fact that for three years Man
ager Gus Greenlee has sought the
championship bid only to be fro

20 h Century club associates who

FOUR ACES IN LINE FOR
ALL-AMERICAN HONORS
By BILL MILLS
(Crusader News Agency)
WITH THE end of the 1938
gridiron season in sight those fans
who indulge in the dizzy pastime
of picking All-American teams are
ur0 of one thing^ Jerome (Brud)
Holland, Cornell, is their choice
LOi* end.
Those who witnessed his exhi
bition of offensive and defensive
play against Columbia last week
j understand why Holland wa3 unan
imously chosen All-Ameriean in
I >937 although only a junior at the
' time. In the Cornell offense. Hol
land is a dangerous as any back
j field man. His tremendous speed
gives the team an additional threat
j on end around plays. Time and
again ho has made these wide
sweeping ^nd runds for forty and
fifty yards gains.
Not alt the hopes of Negro fans
are based upon Holland. For the
first tiny in history, a Negro
player has appeared on the Paci
fic Coast and received the publi
city he deserves. Kenny Washing
ton, half-back of th= UCLA is the
haunting fear of every coach in the
conference. Only a junior “Kenny
the Kingfish ’ is the toast of the
Campus at Beverly Hills,
Last year, his first intercolle
giate football, Kenny completed
the longest forward pass. 72 yards
in the conference. Kenny heaves
these passes on the dc»d run.

can tell you all about him.
Horae. Bell. Minnesota guard,
had never received the credit ha
deserves. For three years Bell toil
ed unceasingly in the Gopher 1 ne
without praise from press or pub
lic. All this despit, the fact that
ho kicked ten points after touch
downs last year and bid8 to top
that mark in this, his last season.
A brother of the famous Ohio
State tackle of some years back,
Bell went to iMnn' sota to avoid
the rotten jim-crow to which his
brother was subjected when Ohio
State journed to Annapolis to play
Navy.
Strangely enough^ it was anoth
er Negro player, B-rnard Jeffer
son, Northwestern halfback, who
emerged the hero of that memora
ble game. In the closing moments
of tho game, Jefferson smashed
his way through the Gopher line
for ten yards and carried three
tackh rs across the goal line to
score the winning touchdown.
Last year, Jefferson played with
a jinx riding on his shoulder. In
(h' Norhwestern-Nf'tre Dame
game a bad toss from center caus
ed him to delay his punt from
behind the goal line. It wag bloek
el by Sweeney of Notre Dame.
Northwestern lost and Jefferson
was the goat. This year the Wild
cats have a winning team and if
they emerge on top, Jefferson
should take his pluee in that All
American backfield,

GALENTO SAYS HE’S ‘WHITE
HOPE’
Orange, N. J.. Nov. 8—Tony Ga
lento bellowed to the world today
thait ho was the lone “white hope
to displace heavyweight champ Joe
Louis.’
Tho blubber belted saloonkeep
er accused Louis of having talked
John Henry Louis out of fighting
him—Galento. Lewis had been
scheduled to meet Galento in Phil
adelphia in July, despite the fact
that the Negro light heavyweight
champ weighed 175 to Galento’s
240. Galento contracted pneumonia
and the fight was called off. Now
Lewis is signed to meet Louis and
Galento is beefing that it’s all
Loui-;’ fault.
Galenito is a mediocre boxer of
a rough elbow, mauling type who
probably would last about one
round with Louis before taking
tha count.
