DYNAMITE HANK ARMSTRONG
BATTERED DAVY DAY TO THE
FLOOR IN 12th ROUND FOR A
TECHNICAL KNOCKOUT TO
RETAIN THE WELTERWEIGHT
CHAMPIOIN8HIP
By Billy Davis
Little Henry Armstrong added
1 another victim to his list of knock
outs at Madison Square Garden,
Friday night, March 31st when he
heat Davy Day of Chicago sense
less in practically every round. Day
gave Armstrong everything he had
but just couldn’t stop the little
champ from charging into him.
Making his sixth defense of the
welterweight championship in the
last four months, Armstrong svns
bos9 of the situation almost from
the first punch to the last, Drisk
salvo. Armstrong wore a plaster
I cast on his left hand after the
fight. His right fist was bruised
and swollen and a slit on his eye
brow was embroidered shut, but
ho wus still welterweight cham
pion of the world and a great lit
tle champion.
Day crumpled to the canva8 in
the twelth with a bleary look on
bis face. The referee saw he could
not continue so he stopped the
fight. Day’s right eye was com
pletely closed Armstrong had a
nasty cut under his left eye. Day
was ono of the gamest fighters
who has fought Dynamite Hank
for a long time. He took over a
thousand punches poured over him
by little Hank.

AMBITIONS
(tty ANDY RAZAF for ANP)
A cow looked at a bird and said,
“Why can’t I be like him?
T’d give up anything to fly
And perch upon a limb.”
I
, Tho bird gazed at the cow and
sighed,
“Life would be smooth as silk
If I could only moo like you
And make delicious milk.’’
A horse in envy, matched a bee
And whined, “It may sound funny
But how I wish I were like you
So I could make honey.”
“To be horse I’d give my all,”
Replied the mournful bee;
“Now how could one so strong and
tall
Want to be small like me?"
A busy ant who overhead
Just smilled and shook his head
But they ket on with their com
plaint
Till finally he said:
“Life has a purpose for us all
But none of us go far
Unless we do our best to be
The best of what we are!”
NAVAL NOTES
“Motion pictures are an integral
part of tho recreation program of
tho United States Navy. The show
ing of movies is a nighty diversion
on shore stations and ships. Tho
Navy is perhaps the world’s lar
gest distributor of motion pictures.
It maintains 2000 films in circu
lation and has a nightly attendance
of about 100.000 men. 300 to 400
new films are acquired each year.
Two schools are maintained where
care and operation of projector*
and apparatus is taught Navai
personnel.
Tho first large floating drydock
I of the Navy was the “DEWEY”
| now at Olongapoo, P. I. This dock
! was towed there from Chesapeake,
Bay, a distance of 13,000 miles.
Tho passage took 150 days.
The first armed forces of the
United States to land in France
at the start of the World War
were Naval aviators, 7 June 1917
at Bordeaux, and 8 June 1917 at
St. Nazaire.
No United States Man-of-War
has ever mutinied or been in the
hands of mutineers. In some other
Navies, whole squadrons and fleets
have mutinied.
Seagulls sometimes adopt a ship
and follow it from port to port,
even on trans-Atlantic trips. At
dusk they settle down on the
waves and sleep. At daybreak they
resume their journey.”

LOU TO BE BIG ATTRACTIONS
World’s Fair time in New York
sizes up as a veritable bonanza
period for sports enthusiasts, with
the tops in evtry sport slated to

Stylish Billy C-onn takes on Solly
Krieger and Melio Betina in Garden
scraps in May, and Max Baer meet3
Lou Nova ait the Garden Bowl later
that same month, winner to face
Louis for the title (a promise or a
threat?)
The annual All-Star baseball
game, July 11, has been moved here
for a repeat performance, so Fair
crowds can speak of seeing the in
dividual greats of the game not to
mention the all time great team—
and we mean the Yankees who

Dodgers play in this town, too,
When the Yanks are travelling.

London Still to Get
Welter Fight May 12
Regardless of Armstrongs injuries
he will defend his title on May
11th against Ernest Roderick,
British champion. His doctors say
ho will be free from all injuries in
a few weeks and he will begin his
workouts. Rumors were out before
tho fight with Day that Homicide
Hank was all washed up. Well, I
guess there ig a different story
going around now after Day’s
fight Armstrong is the champ of
all champs and what a champ.
When Henry returns from Lon
don, his next appearanre here will
be August 9th at the Kankee sta
dium in New York. Where he will

Lew Ambers.

Trenholm Still Mak
ing Progress at Bama
State College
Montgomery Ala. Marc h28 (By
E. L. Hercules Calvin Service) —
Founded as tho Lincoln Normal
University in the town of Marion
in 1874 the State Teachers College
which was at one time also known
ag “ The State Normal School for
Colored Students.” is today one of
tho most foremost institutions of
higher learning specializing in
Teacher-Training for Negroes.
In accordance with numerous
progressive phases in the educa
tional program for Negroes in
Alabama the instutition made cer
tain changes from time to time,
which were notable. In 1920, a
“Class A” Junior College was add
ed .The year 19.9 marked the be
ginning of the standard four-year
teacher training program, with a
Comprehensive curriculum under
tho guidance of outstanding edu
cators.
Prof. G. W. Trenholm’s Work
. .Tho late Prof. George Wash
ington Treroholm who, at one time
served as a field representative for
tho State Department of Educa
tion, contributed in no small mea
sure to the expansion of the State
Teachers College, and was ably suc
ceeded by his son,, President H.
Councill Trenholm, who has effici
ently maintained the high ideals
set forth by his predecesor. Presi
dent Trenholm has directed the af
fairs of this college for almost
fourteen year3, and as a graduate
of Morehouse College and the Uni
versity of Chicago, ia surrounded
by n highly trained faculty rep
resenting some of the leading uni
versities in thia country ,and well
prepared members of the adminis
trative staff.
Centrally located in the capital
city of this industrious state,
Teachers College is easily accessi
ble. Here in the midst of a large
colored population, a few students
of “State” find part-time employ
ment in many Montgomery enter
prises, wthile many are partly em
ployed at the institution. Housed
on the large campus of this rapid
ly growing center of learning, are
more than twelve well constructed
buildings .each one containing mod
em conveniences. Now in process
of completion i* an up to date
Science Hall and a magnificent
gymnasiTUm, the latter being made
possible through the cooperation
of the WPA.
Extra-Curricula Activities
The State Teachers College is
a member of the South Collegiate
Conference. Football games with
the leading institutions inj this
area are held annually. In addi
tion, students participate in Buck
sports as volleyball, track, tennis,
basketball and baseball. A well or
ganized debating team is main
tained for students interested in
oratory. The Male Glee Club and
Cape]la choir are for the benefit of
•students musically inclined.
There are numerous clubs rep
resenting the various department*
of ' State”,1 including the dramatie
club, which functions primarily as
a medium for the display of one
acting ability. iThe “Writers of
Tomorrow” are actively engaged
in journalism, and among the many
means by which students receive
practical training in this field is
participation in the editorial work
c-f the student publications. In ad
dition, many national Greek letter
fraternities maintain chapters here.
The list of matriculants at
moro than 1,000 students from all
parts of Alabama and the sur
rounding states. So rapid has bee*
thj growth of tbi3 institution that
in his attempt bo further he edu
cational needs of his group, Presi
dent Trenholm became instrumen
tal in the establishment of an all
year branch Junior College at
Mobile in the fall of ’27. Classes
are conducted there in the Law- •
renee Street Wing of the Communi
ty Center which building was, at
ono time used by the University
of Alabama for its Medical school.
At present there are nearly two
hundred students at the Mobile
uni:.
barge Summer School
Said to bo one of the largest
summer schools in the world, con
ducted for Negroes, thousands of
teachers and regular students are
in attendance at the annual ses
sions. (Instruction is krffetted in
various divisions, and in many in
stances credits earned lead to de
grees.
College Serves Need
The State Teacners College is
serving a definite need of Ne
groes in thte South. It is the
largest Tcacher-Training institu
tion in this area, and is the mecca
for the training of young people
desiring adequate preparation for
a type of service in a section of
tho country that i» making evident
progress in its educational set-up.
