Th* SPORTSCOPE
By Jocko Maxwell
NEWr YORK, (Global) — The
past week-end featuring the play
ing of several traditional games
by the college football teams,
found the money taking quite a
licking. Army’s 48 to 14 rout of a
supposedly strong Columbia 11
was the biggest stumbling block.
Others will follow in this topsy
turvy gridiron season. Our advice
is to keep your government let
tuce in your wallet.
We were glad to see Buddy
Young score in one of the six
pointers that aided Illinois to bowl
; over Wisconsin 27 to 21. Young
has beben hampered of late by
a shoulder and leg injury and to
date he is a far cry from his 1945
gait at Fleet City, when he ri
valed Glen Davis as the best ball
carrier in the land. .New York
University’s football team pulled
a mild surprise last week defeat
ing favored Rochester U 6 to 0.
Freddy Burgess, burley Negro
back, played great ball and set
up the winning score for the not
too violent Violets. .Levi Jackson

King Cole Trio Time
Ill—I nil HIM.. III ..
Nat Cole, the ol’ King himself, gets a kick out of a new song he
-loes weekly on his own show every Saturday (5:4a fcSI, NBU.
oin'inr to the words is J. V '.rd Maurer, advertising manager of
the Wildroot Com -an . the Kir.g’s new snonsor. The song? Why ,
“Wildroot Creaii) 0!1 flhar.ie!.” of course.
Yale’s sensational freshman full
back is still a marked man. Last
week Howie Odell used him as a
decoy in the disputed 6 to 6 dead
lock with Cornell. However, it
was Jalckson’s potent 11 yard
plunge through the Big Red’s
line that gave Ole Eli it’s only
score. We believe that Jackson
will blossom into one of collegi
ate football's greatest fullbacks
before he receives his sheepskin
from the Connecticut college. He
travels with the power of a Sher
man tank!
Kenny Washington, yesterday’s
great forward passin’ ace while
at UCLA is having a particularly
tough season with the Los Ange
les Rams. It seems as if Adam
Walsh, the Ram's coach, is using
the famous T formation system.
The system as you know calls
for a signal caller who can handle
the ball flawlessly and has good
legs. Washington is not exactly
a stranger when it comes to
caressing a pigskin. However a
recent operation on Kenny’s knee
has slowed him down to a cake
walk. The former UCLA sensation
is finding the opposition plenty
rough on a gridded who can’t
maneuver his legs to suit the var
ious situations. Father Time holds
the answer to Washington’s pre
dictament. Meanwhile he contin
testinal fortitude. Jersey City’s
ues to employ the collegiate in
entrant in the American Football
League is clickin’! Archie Harris
former All American wingman at
Indiana is playing a major part
in the success of Bill Owen’s club
thanks to his knack of catching
passes.
We believe that the majority of
Colored-American sports enterpri
ses are missing the best, in pub
licizing their events, by not using
the radio in its advertising cam
paigns. Tis a known fact that a
steady radio advertising program
plus the broadcasting of the
games will bring results. When
will the Negro sport moguls see
the light. In these days of close
copetition they are certainly mis
sing a good bet. One need but to
look at the success the Brooklyn
Dodgers attained at the turnstiles
to realize that the use of the mi
crophone brings good results. We
assure you that it was not alone
the unpredictable wizardly that
aided Branch Rickey’s amazing
ball club. Radio played a major
part in the success, with Red
Barber and Desmond’s clever
mike work attracting the doubt
ful baseball bobbies to Ebbets’
Field, where anything is liable to
happen and usually does.. Now
it’s time to cease hitting this
trusty typewriter and forecast
next satdee’s football games. Gee1
I wish I knew which way that
leather will bounce.
See you next week and hope
your alma mater wins..

Again we visit the bowling
alleys where activities today are
at its highest peak. Why? Be
cause the bowling season is at
full force at this time of year.
Its in the air, in the bloo and boy
oh, boy, you should see the fun
and sportsmanship and friendlin
ess that takes place in this build
ing. Hard feelings, grudges, and
chips on the shoulders are tossed
aside and everyone swings into
full force to get the most out of
their evenings before one o’clock
rolls around and the alleys close
for another day.
Last week was really a whirl
wind. Tuesday the first league
nite of the week found the Lake

build her dream house at will.
You should have been near to have
seen the expression of surprise on
her face when she saw her prize.
She exclaimed, “It must be a joke!
I have no babies or small child

house!” But later we were inform

from her at the Elks club and she
refused to sell. So Clara must like

Well folks, so long until next

AREYOU APART
TIME CITIZEN
By Ruth Taylor
Being a citizen in a democracy
is a full time job. In other forms
of government, the citizenry make
up the background. appearing
only in mob scenes to “yes” the
rulers of the nation.
But there is no room for part
time citizens in our form of gov
ernment. Our government is us
. . what we make it. Ours is the
fault if the wheels of government
do not run smoothly, for the laws
we make are the roadbed and the
men we elect are the machine.
Are you a part time citizen ?
Do you fulfill all your dutes as
a voter.. do you just show up at
election time to cast your vote
j without due consideration of the
full qualifications, record and prin
ciples of all candidates.. or do you
help to select proper candidates
at the primaries? «
Are you a part time citizen ?
Do you obey the laws you have

had a hand in making; or is it
your only thought when you do
break what seems like an incon
sequential little law, how you can
get away with it?
Are you a part time citizen?
Do you evince interest in all is
sues or only in those problems
which directly concern you.. and
then object when other groups do
the same and infringe on your
prerogatives ? Only as citizens
work for the common good of all
can democracy progress.
Are you a part time citizen ?
Do you lend an ear to alien sub
versive elements who tell you how
much better conditions are or
would be for you were there a
different form of government ?
Do you thoughtlessly pass on
these tales without checking on
their accuracy or considering
their source?
Are you a part time citizen ?
Do you stand up for democracy
or do you condemn its mistakes
without consideration for the good
it has to offer? Do you see only
Its Ihortcomings and never its
long range program which slowly
but surely and in spite of stum
blings, discriminations and de
i tours has made this country of
ours the best in which we live.
I Now as never before the United
I States needs the full time alle
i giance of all its people. Peace can
be established only by the con
certed effort of ALL citizens. So
don’t be a part time citizen!

Are Returning Veterans
"Different"?
During the war you heard a lot
'about how hard it was going to be
for returning veterans to get ad
justed to civilian life , , . how
they’d be “different.”
Well, plenty of them have re
turned to our town, and a finer,
steadier bunch you couldn’t ask
for. Most of them are back at the
same jobs . . . going with the
same nice home-town girls (get
ting married, some of them, and
setting up families) ... renewing
the same old friendships.
Even their amusements are the
same. Nothing more exciting thai
fishing Seward’s creek or pitch
ing horseshoes ... enjoying ai
outdoor barbecue with friendl;
wholesome beer and pleasant talk
If they’ve changed at all it’s ii
the direction of maturity and tol
erance ... tolerance, for everythin)
except dictators, and those wh<
would destroy our democrats
principles of live and let live. Ant
from where I sit, that’s anothei
reason to be proud of them.
